The Deloitte Games predictions competition

[Xevious]

What are your views on Tax Efficient Supply Chain Management, Smitty?

He doesn't have any. He's just trying to wind me up, which is a shame since instead I'm just amused by how little he knows regarding what companies actually do.

Why is it that you city parasites can never be honest about what you do? Why so shy?

The strange thing about Xevious and people like him is that they feel themselves to be civic minded people. The drivers of our society, even.

I asked my mate the other day whilst we were dodging tax (which is actually a physical thing, the tax man comes in and you have to avoid his balls of fury, a tad like wipeout).

Apparently, it's pronounced "Del-oi't"

[boxoctosis]

HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE IT.

PwC.

This would be an awesome Fall album title.

You have until this afternoon. There are a few of us on there now.

Careful you don't click on the link that takes you to the Deloitte website where it tells you about the things they do, since that's obviously a closely guarded secret.

The US martial arts team and the Bulgarian weightlifters?

I was completely out of cash and ideas!

Bloody Italian Fencers (is that a word?) is what I really needed.

[carlito]

Say "delight" in an Irish accent and you are gold.

I think they were pretty expensive. But yeah, six points in one go would have been handy ...

But then we shouldn’t be surprised. I’ve long argued the four biggest threats to democracy in the world are PWC, KPMG, Deloitte and Ernst & Young because they are, together, the biggest global network designed to undermine the revenues of democratically elected governments with intent to ensure that those governments can’t command the resources needed to deliver the services their electorates want and expect which action on their part has to surely undermine democracy and faith in it faster than anything else could.

We’re just seeing that writ large in this speech.

Respectable people like Xevious and his dodgy employer are responsible for plenty of suffering in the world - but he feels the real villians are people who go to protests and cause a bit of trouble.

Instructive.

Does he even work in the tax division? Deloitte do actually do other stuff you know.

You could just save time and admit that you don't know what accountancy firms do. Not that I work in the accountancy part of it.

No, I don't work in tax. Of course, that matters not to Smitty.

[Xevious]

Not the best start by me there ... still, at least I'm not on zero!

[choddo]

I am frankly astonished I've managed 6 points.

Equal Bronze - i'd like to thank my trainers and my bus and all the people who I saw on the street whilst I was on my way here today! You've all been so supportive, thank you all!

[stefcha]

I came in here expecting some info on an upcoming athletics meet but instead just got to read some bile from Smitty and to top it all I'm still not 100% on the Deloitte pronunciation. Fuck's sake

Big high five to we bronzers.

Is it okay to jump in the pool now?

[MaffewE]

I only just noticed I won. Woooooo!
