I always think of Reggie PerrinIt's not what you think. :)
We had a training session with all partners and managers just outside Paris and, having been married for about 10/20 years each, the partners wanted to go to a show in Paris. So, many taxis and a good few beers in Paris later, we were walking to the Hippopotamus cabaret show (bare-boobed cabaret obviously) and, asking the senior Dutch partner where we were going, he said Hippo po TA mus (tbf that's how you say it in Dutch), rather than Hippo POT amus. Trust me, after a few beers it was funny. 20 partners and managers walking drunk in Paris giggling like schoolgirls stayed with me. Show was fine, but being unmarried, I was more interested in Dutch girl's real available boobs. He was OK, the senior partner, though, took it in good spirits, and let me take a white Opel Manta GTE with black windows and a black sunroof as a company car. Until he actually saw it, then he told me to park it around the corner away from the clients when I was visiting :)

Now that , my friends , really is cheating !!When Utd and LFC had their match fixing scandal United's solicitor was on the panel investigating United! He found the club did nothing wrong and never bothered to interview key people because he 'trusted them'. Football hey?
I go into a lot of detail about it in an article I wrote a while back for subscribers to my website:
Match Fixing – Manchester United v Liverpool: A Long Read
Liverpool and Manchester United meet this weekend (17th January 2021) in the Premier League. It's a game that throughout the modern era has been played between two major clubs, hoping for success. This has not always been the case of course and in 1914-15 a notorious game between the two teams...gjfootballarchive.com

No mate. Imagination is more fun!If you really want to know, I can DM you. I have tied up the thread for long enough. I could write a book about Hannah, though .....

Can somebody post a link to PB's 2 part article about the 115 charges. I can't find it. Thanks
A thumbs up whatever would most definitely be frowned upon.You know if you were just mentally rich, and I mean incomprehensibly rich, could you as a private citizen sponsor city for £1bil to have your name on the front of the kit? Maybe a picture of your with a thumbs up or whatever?
Or would that be frowned upon by the paragons of virtue in charge?
