  1. I subscribe to The Digger and can thoroughly recommend it. Great reporting that the likes of the Record should be doing but are too scared. Can’t remember how much the year’s subscription was but every week it has me gripped.
  2. The Herald now skimming PnB for its content: https://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/24216506.ex-spfl-manager-recruiting-backroom-staff---without-club/
  3. Phone your insurer, get put through to a call centre in Glasgow (of which there are a fair few); or phone your insurer and get put through to a call centre in Mumbai (of which there are a fair few). which one costs more do you think? Insurance is nothing but a burden and only of any utility when you need to claim on it. And it’s only when you need to claim on it that you recognise its value. If you’re lucky, that’ll be never. Go with a meaningless Elephant, an RAC branded product or a Shiela’s Wheels, save the £100 or so. But when you do need it - which is usually a fairly high stress situation in itself - I reckon the extra premium might well be worth it.
  4. Certainly slow with you old chum. 600 posts in a 17 year old account. Do you hibernate?
  5. There’s a lot of people on here who’ve clearly never left the Clydeside Expressway to head south over the Kingston Bridge. Bit of a giggle being above a six storey warehouse on Washington Street going round a single lane 90 degree bend at 50mph with only a barrier seemingly made out of angle iron between you and it.
  6. I don’t disagree with any of that. The bit you’re missing though is that one camp wants (needs) to be in total control to trouser the money they think someone will pay for the club. I now reckon though that anyone enthusiastic enough to want to put their hard earned into LFC is actually going to deliberately wait for the Admin event to ensure all these (apparently) toxic characters are well out of the picture before they do.
  7. I'll admit to being a lurker on this thread lately. I find the whole McIlvogue/Martindale/Ward/Sumner/Hogarth/Rankine feud grimly fascinating. However, if these sock puppet accounts that variously pop up and are then ignored by others with both sides claiming to be ITK about it all are representative of the levels of debate and discourse that are going on behind the scenes then I'm afraid, for Livi fans, I fear your club is truly in deep deep trouble. And bear in mind this opinion comes from a Rangers fan with a not-so-long memory... Both factions seem to think they are sitting on a pot of money that can be realised the moment they have rid the premises of their opponents. I suspect however the reality - probably arriving at the point where relegation is confirmed - is that this has already become a zero sum game for everyone involved. Bring on the denouement....
  8. I think we can determine that on here there are a lot of slavish devotees to 'following the manual'. There is no need to put preserves in the fridge, irrespective of what it might say on the label.
  9. ^^^ offshoring the Danger Family Wealth Trust to The Canaries as we speak.
  10. You do have to wonder about what the thieves were thinking they would do with Gary. It's a fairly conspicuous piece of kit and when the rozzers eventually come knocking at the door to enquire how you might have come by it I doubt the 'I got it off some chap down The Barras' would quite wash. And then there's the risks involved in getting it back to the layby to dump it. They're bound to have been on someone's dashcam.
  11. Do you mean the manager search pantomime or @VincentGuerin ‘s dogged determination to rubbish the conjecture of someone who claims to be itk when he himself is even less itk?
  12. If you are wont to poach your eggs the whites stay together much better if a) they are as fresh as possible and b) are at room temperature when they enter the water. And why you would then want to put chilled brown sauce on them I do not know. Just a wee grind of salt and pepper for me, thank you.
  13. Since posting that it’s been troubling me that, 30 years down the line from me being a horned up student myself, this is still my immediate train of thought.
  14. Rich milfy type with a decent tan - what’s not to love about that when you’re a horned up student? With bonus points as it’s yer pal’s maw.
  15. Think the boy missed a trick. He could’ve offered to share with her.
  16. Which won’t work unless you’ve a PIN number.
