Breaking: BallinEurope is not based in a coffee shop

January 25, 2016

While this site’s fondness for the odd beverage or 10 is well known, most of our readers associate that with drinks of the alcoholic variety. Today we ended up with something best described as a little out there. Karl, who owns my regular haunt for a caffeine fix Coffee Angel, DMed me with a rather surprising message. You see, this arrived at one of his stores

Now while I love a fine caffeinated beverage (my usual call is a double espresso) and I usually call on Karl’s cats to provide it, I don’t actually live in Coffee Angel nor is BallinEurope formally located there. To use the Wifi there, one has to go via Facebook and I spent about a year and a half checking in (much to the chagrin of my friends) before realising there was a skip check-in option.

Now I have a theory as to how the chaps that mailed this sent it to Coffee Angel but I’m holding off on revealing it for now because I want to hear exactly how the chaps that sent it came up with sending it there. In fact, this is literally the first piece of physical mail BiE has received from a source other than Basketball Ireland and they always fire stuff to my day job’s address.

In case you were wondering, the letter was a press release from All In Sport ASD to inform me that Curtis Smith has been appointed commissioner for the 2016 All In Sport Summer League.
