SH Panda defo either has a subscription to the digger, or more likely is the editor of it
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.

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.0 -

The Rangers supporters calling other supporters puppets. Oh the irony.
Posts must be slow over on the old firm boards.
Certainly slow with you old chum. 600 posts in a 17 year old account. Do you hibernate?

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.

We've been around the block a couple of times before with admins and near admins, seen it, got the T-Shirt. This sort of shite goes on every time too, fans picking sides, only this time i don't think anyone is actually sticking their heads in the sand refusing to believe we've got problems.
The veiled accusations, giving us the picture of one side of the grievance, without telling us exactly what is going on gets tiresome though, and because we're not just willing to accept everything they tell us is 100% gospel they get the hump, and start chucking insults at us, which doesn't help their cause any.
From what i can gather they're both accusing the other as being at it, dipping their noses in the trough of our Premiership pot of dosh, Ward is saying Rankine was double accounting with his loan total, and Hogarth was helping himself to more than he was due from a loan. The Rankine/Sumner & Hogarth team are saying Martindale & Ward are despots, bullying them and others, using up the club's money in Court cases, and all sorts of veiled accusations.
Our reality as fans is, neither are taking the club forward and we'd be better with all this internal shite coming to a conclusion, both sides to leave Livi, and a new owner to take over with an investment plan to take us forward.
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.

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....

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.

By all means argue for an idealistic objective, nothing wrong with that. However it’s not achievable.
I think it’s better to advocate for something more realistic that could win public support and have an actual impact.
There is not going to be a global solution, however wonderful and worthwhile that would be, and sadly even a U.K. approach is going to be determined by a Conservative or a conservative Labour government so I don’t see it being as radical as it could and should be. I don’t think an Independent Scotland is going to be some utopian Socialist Republic but there’s a chance that it might be willing to take a bit more of a progressive position.

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.

Is this still going on?
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?

what do you put in the fridge EGG holder. Tatties? Sauce sachets...
Good work on getting your 5-a-day I see Slippery.

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.

Good point, well made.
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.

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.

Similar scenario with a guy on my course at uni. His parents, who lived in Dubai, bought a flat and covered the mortgage and his pal (they were stuck at the hip, never see one without the other etc) moved into the 2nd bedroom paying rent.
But they then turfed him out in the middle of a semester when the mum decided she wanted to come and live in Edinburgh for a few months
The two of them never spoke to each other again after that
Think the boy missed a trick. He could’ve offered to share with her.
