Wall Writer Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 This Toffeetalk board idea is taking off it seems. You should get those documentary makers in to do a docuseries. I’m sure it’ll be just a successful as that one Ricky Gervais did before he became famous, when he was still a manager in that company.

Popular Post Cornish Steve Posted May 13 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 13 5 hours ago, StevO said: Oh no, I’ve been way too important to make the tea for a long time now. True story. Decades ago, I attended a meeting with a company founded by an entrepreneur named Andrew Ory. His company was based on an operating system he'd named Oryx (an alternative to Unix). We were meeting with four VPs of the company, and we were all wearing suits. During the meeting, in walked a scruffy individual, in jeans and T-shirt, with a tray with teapot, cups, and saucers. He poured us all tea but, to my surprise, stayed in the room. At the next break, since I try never to overlook anyone, I went up to him, introduced myself, and thanked him for the tea. He shook my hand and introduced himself as Andrew Ory, founder and owner of the company - and principal tea maker. You're never too important to make tea - as Earl Grey proved.

You’re never to important mate you know that better than anyone, I make tea and coffee at work mostly as an excuse to have one myself.

But I mostly work from home, if I don’t do it I’ll be thirsty. Until two years ago I had apprentices in my teams for the previous 13 years. Tea is their job. When I ran the family business, I made the tea for everyone on site. But fuck me, a tongue in cheek comment. Now I’m explaining the gag.

London Blue Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 FFS Moshiri, just sell the damn club to people with actual money, who will run us properly. 777 are like a team of hustlers playing the "Three Cup and ball" game, here's the takeover money, Opps now its gone. Standard here's the money for wages Opps its gone. Premier League washing their hands of the whole affair, sooner they have a proper commission to replace them the better.

Haiku Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 So there's still time for 777 to borrow money they don't have, get the shares, put the club into administration, sell every asset that can be sold, and spend the rest of their lives peacefully on a sunny island. Sounds great. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
