Follow the money. £500k teaser

1406

I’ve been sent a brain teaser.  What legal reasons would someone have to discretely pay another individual £500k?  The people are not currently in business together, although the recipient previously worked for the sender.  No goods have been provided.

It’s a puzzle.

Looking for legal reasons only, no crazy illegal notions or wild speculation about real persons, this is purely a theoretical exercise.

Apparently I’m being sent a moral dilemma tomorrow: Will the recipient, with off-shore accounts but living in interesting times, declare the £500k?

    As the veteran of many a rant, some forty years your senior, well said.

     

    Especially the last sentence. I know exactly how you feel.

     

    The last ten days have been a payback time in spades.

    Is Lenny going 5 in the middle, with Sammi wide left and Leds 1 in?

     

     

    Or 4, with Sammi up front?

     

     

    I think we’ll get more ball and more chances with the former.

    My old man wasn’t into the bevvy, but with a fair turn of sarcasm I’m sure he’d enjoy the craic.

    Brian Quinn never forgot his own humble beginnings in Govan and even as Chairman was prepared to take a personal interest in fans. I wrote to him in 2006 about some concerns I had regarding treatment of fans (me) and he responded comprehensively in a personal letter. A good man, undervalued by many and a perfect custodian for Celtic at that time.

    Not sure if we are going 5 in the middle or 2 up front but what I can tell you is that we can swap with ease between the 2. One of the best things about our current team is the ability several players have to play in multiple positions. Mulgrew, Sammi, Big Vic and Superjoe to name 4. We have a squad who can change formation at any time during a match. I hesitate to call it the Ajax model as I much prefer to call it the Celtic model :)

  12. In the past I have written in a sometimes critical fashion to Fergus, Peter Lawell, Dermot Desmond, Brian Quinn and John Reid.

     

    Three guesses as to who could not be bothered to reply.

  13. Hi all,

     

    Been lurking for years(frequently for hours at a time) so finally decided to introduce myself. I live in Cork,Ireland and been supporting celtic for many years,had to give up the season ticket few years back as it was just too expensive with flights hotels etc.

     

     

    I have found the last ten days to be so entertaining but also the deep feeling that this could really be the end of a “club” that I have grown to detest over the years. People in Ireland have recently said to me how the SPL will be ruined without the old firm derbies,they have no idea what a disgusting organisation the huns are.

     

     

    I always remember leaving glasgow one morning for ireland with my son,he was about 5/6 at the time and he felt like a superstar with his new hoops tracksuit. As we lined up in central station to buy the train tickets for prestwick my son told me that the man in the queue ahead of us was “making angry faces” at him. I told him to take no notice but then this particularly revolting looking person proceeded to tell my kid to take the colours off because he’d only be upsetting people. To a 6 year old this was just incomprehensible but at the same time it made him very afraid that he was wearing colours that could get him in trouble.. I told my son that the man was just drunk and take no notice. My son has refused to go to glasgow ever since but in the last week his attitude has softened as i have been gleefully giving him every detail of the hun demise.

     

     

    I look forward to both of us taking our places in section 444 very soon. Please God the hun will soon be no more .

    ——————————————–

     

     

    Had a very brief scan – a slow mind like mine needs time to digest stuff like that.

     

     

    Great work though! Thanks

  16. I really hope Celtic absolutely demolish motherwell today.

     

     

    My prediction is hooper first scorer and Celtic to win 4_0

  17. Looking forward to skelping the Motherhuns today, team looks strong even without Broonie…

     

     

    Enjoy the game Celts Worldwide…

     

     

    Sammi to score….

  18. Another 3 points from what, for me was always going to be a difficult game- we can’t win 4 or 5 – 0 every game, as much as I’d like it…..

     

     

    Anyway can you guys help out?

     

     

    A while ago – before digital T.V. ITV used to have texts for football in their “oracle” teletext. I used to look at them but never contributed (for a reason which would take too long to explain). All football supporters texted in, but there was one texter I remember called FRANNIE FRAY BLANTYRE. Is he still around – in these sites?

  19. Marrakesh Express on

    I got involved in a typical pub debate today.

     

    You know, the type of argument that gets you all nostalgic, especially supporting CFC where we are all old enough to remember Lisbon. Anyway, the topic was…’who’s the best out and out goal scorer/poacher/finisher/No.9 we have ever had.

     

     

    I’ll cut out some of the brain work for you and put The King (Henrik Larsson) at Numero Uno.

     

    I’m taking the liberty to leave Dalglish our because he was never a CF. (he was too good)

     

     

    Anyway, my top 5 are:

     

     

    1. Henrik Larsson

     

    2. Joe McBride

     

    3. Jorge Cadete

     

    4. Charlie Nicholas

     

    5. Frank McAvennie.

     

     

    Just an opinion….
