149366222_extra_large_medium Thank you, Hermoine. It's always great to come back to the same coffeehouse and know you'll give me the same great cup of mocha every day of the week. However, I notice today you decided to include Splenda packets. Care to explain why you think I would need it?

Gyi0063424937_medium_medium Aye! Alan, pleasure to see you, as always. Looks like the squad had a productive training session today. Say, I have an idea I wanted to run by you. I'm trying like mad to generate more income for you to buy players before the window closes, and I'm running out of options since the locals seemed to not like my idea of selling the rights to St. James Park...

149366222_extra_large_medium_medium Go on...

149366222_extra_large_medium_medium_medium ....

Gyi0063424937_medium_medium_medium_medium_medium Well...? :-)

800px-angry_woman_medium Oh, did I do that? I'm sorry, maybe the next time you'll remember to take the garbage out like I asked you to do this morning. Now, you were saying?
