    I think that was its peak Series 6 went down hill after that - 'Gunmen of the Apocalypse' remains my favourite episode

    By complete coincidence, Rob Grant left the show after series six

    Personally, though, I think series five was the show at its peak, given that one gave us Quarantine, Back to Reality and The Inquisitor

    Gunmen of the apocalypse is a great episode but my favourite is probably the one where they are on a planet where there is a war between good and evil waxdroids.

    I have a sneaking suspicion he’s most likely sat on a yacht right now off the coast of Florida and the Bahamas with Uncle Joe, trying to get more transfer funds signed off.

    If not, I’ll be venting my spleen come Thursday if little else happens and suggest perhaps it’s time for ENIC to decide if their project has come to its inevitable conclusion.

    We are talking about spending profits in a ltd company.
    WTF do two directors need a face to face when a phone call suffices ??

    If, as I expect, Levy is having to ask for a (to pick a figure out of the air) £50m advance to cover transfer fees due to our summer strategy previously being based on receiving a Eriksen-shaped windfall, I'm going to suggest that showing such willing that he'd jet off across the world to ask face-to-face is a better idea than getting on the blower and asking Lewis for some cash

    Certain business types much prefer face to face dialogue, especially when it involves a lot of capital. This is not unusual.

    Take it with a pinch of salt, but apparently Reports in Portugal are saying we’ve agreed a €60m fee with Betis for Lo Celso

    I can’t take Twitter right now. Several accounts all reporting we’ve finally agreed a fee for Lo Celso - just rehashing each other’s posts.

    I guarantee within the hour, they’ll reel those back in. Close season is pure agony.

    Yes I would agree with SUL I travel many miles each year because face to face is still what people prefer when making important business decisions

    Not that it’s important but I prefer it running my own. Far easier to close deals when someone’s sat right there in front of you and the pressures on to make a decision.

    You had my hopes up until I saw the source, as Castles is Tier 76

    On the other hand, Record are Tier 3 and they're saying this...

    That's the drummer from Gallows, if anyone's wondering why he's got the blue tick. THFC ST for 22 years, apparently.

    This thread is so messed up right now. It’s a weird cocktail of Lo Celso and Red Dwarf posts.
