BaaLocks got a reaction from Alan Ramage 4 EVA in The Administration Thread
You might think he is a chancer or a Walter Mitty character but I don't understand how a successful businessman, with other businesses that need his time (and not trivial ones) would invest so much time and effort - plus a round of drinks in Revolution - if he didn't have solid intentions. Why do that? I could understand it for the other two, they were jokers from the start but CK has a business that is well regarded and he has things to devote his time to. I don't see one bit of interest in him playing a game over this, something has happened that is beyond his control but you have to conclude this was something inside possible for him to pull off.
As for Quantuma, well they are the adminstrators version of Erik Alonso - I once worked for a company that landed a big contract like this, they thought it had changed them as a company and thought this was the start of the big time. Within weeks it became apparent we were all horrifically out of our depth and I am guessing there are many in Quantuma who are feeling exactly the same at this point in time.

I'm just going to add to this because I have 0 chance of guessing them all myself.
In - Wigan Athletic, Cardiff City, Norwich City
Out - Portsmouth - I could be wrong, but haven't they been to 2 FA cup finals?
- Blackburn - I feel sure they must've come 2nd or 3rd before winning it in 95.
- Southampton - 1 FA cup final, but I have a sneaking suspicion they have a top three as well.

Can't stand this "I don't tip because the owners should pay their staff more". You know the gig when you go into the restaurant, if you want to make a stand about it then refuse to eat there unless the owners give you the discount needed to pay the staff what you think they are worth. Otherwise, you're basically just saying you want to penalise the very people you claim to be concerned for and the only benefactor is yourself, who get a cheaper dining experience.
In conclusion, in these times if you can afford to eat out you can afford 10% for decent service, a little bit more if they've made an effort.
Oh, and they have name tags for a reason - look at it and use their name, be nice, be courteous. And remember that most times when something goes wrong it is very rarely the waiter / resses fault, they just happen to be the people carrying your food.
And yes, I do work in the catering / service industry ?

BaaLocks got a reaction from Kathcairns in King Kevin Hector
I don't think Kevin De Bruyne will be running the Cavendish Post Office when he retires, like Henry Newton did, either. Or driving a van, like Neil Webb did. Both of whom were recognised internationals.
