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?

    Heard that halfwit Mingwall on the radio,trying to lecture on football economics? These people don’t do irony.

  3. The ludge has introduced a new initiation ‘rite’ since adminstration:

     

     

    Ostrich

     

     

    Ritual

     

     

    Ceremony

     

     

    Or ORC for short.

    because I am a sad statto type person for the football, particularly attendance figures, I am loving the additional functionality on the ONLINE TICKET OFFICE on Celtic website that allows you to hover over each of the sections and it tells you how many seats are available for sale.

     

     

    For example, right now section 137 , has only 4 seats left , from a capacity of 947.

     

     

    At this moment, we appear to have sold 55,524 seats for the Motherwell match.

     

    There are 5,278 seats available for sale.

     

     

    I reckon we are heading for the biggest attendance outside a huns game this season.

     

     

    If you can, get along and support the bhoys, show the MSM that we dont need no stinkin huns.

     

     

    saint stivs, not walking away.

    What a week; my sides are sore with laughter at the fantastically humorous content here this week!

     

     

    I can’t keep up; this just keeps getting better and better.

     

     

    Watch out though Bhoys and Ghirls… All that hate has got to go somewhere.

     

     

    Celtic and rANGERs are ying and yang; one has LOVE at its heart surrounded by Good Humour, fairness and Charity, The other has HATE at its core smothered in cheating, arrogance and violence.

     

     

    Keep up the Good Work Bhoys and ghirls and keep safe.

     

     

    Yours in Celtic,

     

     

    TB&F.

  7. Hately, who was Hull’s worst ever manager should comment about

     

    Dundee Utd

     

    Kilmarnock

     

    Falkirk

     

    Maribor and

     

    Malmo having a combined wage bill of around a third of the huns .

     

    AND THEY ALL PUMPED THEM

  8. Why is it that clyde ended up on many talkshows talking about celtic and Hateley’s banging on about celtic. This is hurting soooooooooooooooooooooooo bad. Hately, if you’re reading, we did not contribute in any way to the cataclysmic implosion of Rangers Football Club (in Administration), oh hang on what era did you play in ? The reason this means so much to us is that we saw many talented players go without (and managers) and we played by the rules of corporate law and it looks like your organisation didn’t. The sense of fairplay is very deeply ingrained in us humans.

    If there was an extended way of saying “Nail on the head” I would say it. I can’t think of it so nail on the head will just have to suffice.

    Sky, do we need it? :-)

    could the payment been a bonus payment for hitting a target but yhe reciever forgot it should have been subject to TAX?

  15. From previous article – Hateley’s an uneducated bawdag, and to hell with him. HOWEVER! If you are offended by his words as a result of buying the paper and reading them, or visiting their website and reading them then more fool you for giving them the revenues with which to pay this clown with. Starve them of their revenues and they will fail.

     

     

    I read the snippits Paul posted, and it does nothing to change my opinion of him. I won’t feel any anger towards him cos he ain’t worth the steam off my piss. Indeed, if he were on fire I wouldn’t piss on him.

  16. a lot to catch up with…

     

     

    tell you what if any of you have a quiz tonight we won’t be happy…. o)))

    Oh that would be so good if he was implicated, another one that deserves to be jailed.

    So,who is Declan…?

     

     

    Some folk suggest MWD,but he clearly lacks the pathos and the perspicacious command of the English language so evident in Declan’s fine submissions…

     

     

    Then I thought of SFTB,but I doubt he could come up with something as funny,and besides,he’s too busy attacking Kojo all the time….

     

     

    Mibbies timbhoy2,with a newly-acquired heavy amphetamine habit ? Nope,SAAB drivers would never be so irresponsible,

     

    particularly the handsome ones..

    I have emailed you my selections for tomorrow and selections for a set of games that kick off in under an hour, 19:00 GMT with some background info on the Friday games.

    Sorry Paul67 sped read the lead article and indulged in silly notions and wild speculation when legaleze was called for my bad feel free to delete in toto.

     

     

    As an aside i am astounded as always by the kind heartedness and generosity of my fellow supporters on the blog last night , even when the call for aid came from our bitterest rivals. The insistence in pledging anonomously was another indication of our true spirit.

     

    I shall raise a glass to you all later.

  21. Looking like a massive attendance of close on 60,000 will be in Celtic Park for the Motherwell match this weekend, possibly the biggest crowd north or south of the border with the exception of Manure.

     

    I see Thomas Rogne is up for a new contract which should be no problem. Surprised to learn this lad is still a mere youth of 21 years who plays with such maturity – what a prospect this lad is.

  22. Who was it that posted last year that Kenny Miller had that bad skin condition, vertigo?

     

     

    Was it Declan by any chance?

  24. Lots of things still bugging me, but one is this

     

     

    If it is really as bad as it appears to be, did it really matter who the administrators were? Was it agreed between them and Whyte that there’d be a few days grace before they started dripping information – specially the file that went to the police – to give him time to go to ground?

     

     

    OK another thing, Rangers could limp along for months or years while these legal wrangles are sorted out – that would suit me just fine. Is there anything to prevent them liquidating in the meantime? Can they be forced to stay in administration? Can liquidation be denied to a company which requests it?

  25. Is that an Orchestra I hear the Orcadian Orchard…this orc stuff is goan tae ma heid… ah need a brek…away tae walk the dug.
