    Soccer.

    Need to nationalize sports and start allocating some decent athletes to soccer.
  3. Was his dog's name Marley? If so, why the fuck do I remember this?
  4. For this sort of thing the "expected timescale" is usually just "how inhumanely are you willing to work your lawyers?" And how inhumanely are they willing to work their associates.
  5. Pretty fair generalisation Thought showers was another, now thankfully defunct corporate bullshit phrase. We always used to print out these (bit old now but you get the meaning) and play bullshit bingo in the opening plenary session with the GM at conference, until some knackered decided to jump up and shout ‘house’. http://i.imgur.com/CqhrV21.jpg You dont have the best one on there.....SYNERGY. I work in a corporate oil and gas office here in the US and some of these corporate bullshit words boul my p*ss to extreme levels. Only last week during a meeting I had one of the superintendents say to me " the water is low and the rocks are showing" apparently he meant we are in the s***. This c*** is a proper blue sky thinking ladder climber It’s always the ladder climbers that spout this kind of s***. They want to sound clever to impress people above them and love to hear themselves talk. I feel you could engage in a more purpose-driven implementation of the takeaways from this, LV.
  6. We should connect offline and do some disruptive ideating about the optics of shifting the paradigm for metrics in the club takeover space.
  7. Translation -- B-more Mag: "I desperately want people to think I know things."
  8. People generally don't incorporate in these circumstances until they need to. I've worked in plenty of processes where the binding bid document simply refers in general terms to 'a UK limited company, to be incorporated in due course' because it saves the hassle of setting one up and then closing it all back down again if the other conditions of the sale are not fulfilled. I hear you, but I've also been in plenty of transactions were it's done a good bit in advance of closing, while contingencies are outstanding, because it's cheap and gets it marked off on the checklist, and people generally assume the deal's going to go through. Just sayin'. Hopefully, though, it will get done in the next few days.
  9. This doesn't really tell us anything about the timing. It's still unclear where the parties are in terms of the definitive deal documents -- stock purchase agreement, etc. Still a good sign, though.
  10. Can someone confirm this. Colour me unconvinced. What's to say it's not monochromatic red?
  11. At the very least it shows a certain level of seriousness by SKBZAN.
  12. Two years ago today, and far, far too young. R.I.P.
  13. Boring Milner. Just what this game needs.
  14. Might switch to the baseball for a little more action.
