The Deloitte Games predictions competition

[Xevious]

[Disclaimer: I work for Deloitte, but this has nothing to do with what I do there ...]

You may remember I ran a predictions competition for a World Cup a while ago, or a Euro championship, or something like that. Doing the same for the Olympics was a bit too complicated.

Luckily someone else has done it for us. Go to http://www.deloittegames.com and sign up, choose your teams and sports, then enter the rllmuk league using PIN 382015.

Bet I come last now.

[Mr Cochese]

I dunno man, this seems a bit like psy-ops to me.

[ZOK]

I'll predict that the winner will be The Man.

In every event.

Deloitte aren't an official sponsor then

[Mr Cochese]

My brother used to work at Deloitte. Do you remember a tall fella who used to work there who fucked off to San Francisco?

[deKay]

Completely unrelated to Xevious, I have a DVD full of Deloitte employee photos which was left in a refurbed PC I bought.

Still have the DVD. Did stalk one of the laydeez on Twitter, I'll admit.

Yes they are ...

But no branding on the site?

[Danster]

League name is comming up as Epyx Summer Tim??? Is that right?

[Mr Cochese]

You're not tall enough.

[Xevious]

Deloitte UK is the provider - there's branding at the bottom of http://www.deloitte.co.uk - but the global firm (which isn't actually a single firm) isn't a sponsor.

That's my team name (which is listed as the manager), the league should be called rllmuk.

[deKay]

You've clearly never met him. He's the tallest man alive.

HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE IT.

[Xevious]

HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE IT.

Deloitte.

Close enough.

HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE IT.

Like that 'Groove is in the Heart' band from a few years back.

I once suggested a football chant to a Spurs fan which went to the tune of that song but with the words "Rafa Van der Vaart".

[Danster]

Cool, registered with the rllmuk league.

If it's only me and Xevious doing it then I might have a chance of winning....

[Smitty]

I predict Deloitte will help a lot of rich people evade a lot of tax during the Olympics and beyond.

Toodles!

They've got around this. They're currently leasing some offices above the Stratford Westfield until the end of the Paralympics and have put up massive Delotte signs on each side. So when the TV camera pans back to show the surroundings you'll probably see their name.

I'm looking forward to coming second!

I think he meant on the website.

I'm presuming that we'll all get approved by the time the games start, Tim?

It's daft, even though I set it as a public group I still need to approve anyone who signs up ...

[smoothe]

Made mine. I picked Team GB in the things I know we're good at, Russia for the weightlifting because who doesn't love Russian weightlifters? And then Brazil in everything else because they're kerrazy.

[choddo]

I only got to pick 2 teams I really wanted. Pretty tough.

[Xevious]

The US martial arts team and the Bulgarian weightlifters?

Good idea for the Indonesian table tennis players though.

[Danster]

I see quite a few of us have gone for the British Cycling then!

[Smitty]

Oh just noticed that Deloitte are actual Olympic partners!

Official Tax Evasion Specialists to the 2012 Olympic Games. Superb.
