Very amusing..This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show QuoteI often imagine the average Jambo Joe (or Julie) sitting in a flat with a stack of unopened envelopes blocking the front door. They have been cut off from reality long ago due to the phone being cut off and they have no electricity to watch TV.
However, they still put on a dinner suit every night and set the table for a four course meal. After they've polished off the Farmfoods cheese cake, and are onto the cigars and brandy, the conversation turns to finance.
"How can we afford this luxury, Joe", asks Mrs Yam.
"Why easliy Callum", replies Joe (not his real name). By buying Russian hats in the former Soviet Union, and selling them in the EU, we can make a substantial profit, thus meeting the spending requirements of established members of the gentry, like ourselves, ken?".
"But Wullie, I mean Joe, Mrs Methadone from Lochend says that you have to bring in more money than you spend, else you will end up in poverty, like her neighbours The Hobos".
"Pay no attention to the Hobos, or Mrs Methadone, my sweet. You see they haven't been brought up to expect the best. Faced with the choice of a lifetime of drudgery, they pay their bills out of fear. They do not have the imagination to see that you have to specualte to accumulate".
"Oh, but...."
"And another thing - don't interrupt me whilst I'm talking - or I'll be getting wee Robbo out of his cage, and you won't like that".
"Wouldnae be sae sure Joe, it's been a while since the back of the net rippled round here like it used to".
"Aye well, ah work hard ye ken, anyway. Thae Hobos believe everything they read in the papers. It's how the likes of us establishemnt types keep them down, through fear. Thir so feart of what might happen, they dinnae take chances, us on the other hand".
"Take whatever ever chance we git, oh a do love you Callum, hoos about washing wee robbo, and we'll go and have a wee game ower the park?"
"Ah wid wullie, it's jist thit ah cannae get oot the front door for aw they bills."

Or they could sell him at a knock down £200m due to his injury.

They never ask difficult questions about things like that, they're all too busy getting chubbies over the thought of signing another player from the Spanish eighth division who once scored a goal four years ago and has played two games since.
Anyone who asks a question like that will have been labelled a hobo and launched by Dexter anyway.

1) Yams agree payment schedule for outstanding debt to HMRC.
2) Driver gets injured.
3) Yams try to stimulate cash flow by selling entire season's tickets in August.
4) Revenue file court order asking for cash.
5) Yams say they've already paid (or words that might seem like that's what they mean).
Is this right?

This whole episode completely baffles me from the perspective of: what the heck are the jumbo fans thinking and doing?
It's crystal clear what is going on with Vlad and Hearts, yet they are all sitting on their hands doing absolutely nothing!!
I would be fairly pissed if they went under because as much as I love beating them at ER, there is nothing better than beating them at Tynie! The derby is, for me, simply the best game in Scottish football.
Administration would be the best way to go for the Jumbos but ye cannae tell them anyhing because they know best!!

Someone who can pay my fines

Vlads the greatest thing
Come on, come on, come on
Get through it
Come on, come on, come on
Vlads the greatest thing
That we have
Im waiting for that payment
Im waiting for that payment
Waiting for that payment to come
Oh my Vlady
Oh my Vlady
Oh why
Oh my
Tenner for some pills
For hiding from our bills
Waiting for the tax man to come
Tenner for the hearts
For screwing up my life
Lord I need to find
Someone who can pay my fines
Come on, come on, come on
Get through it
Come on, come on, come on
Vlads the greatest thing
Come on, come on, come on
Get through it
Come on, come on, come on
Vlads the greatest thing
That we have
Im waiting for that payment
Im waiting for that payment
Waiting for that payment to come
Oh my Vlady
Oh my Vlady
Oh why

Other than a post castigating, Shaun Lawson, there seems to be a dearth of our pink friends willing to contribute on this thread.

They seem happy to believe that there's actually nothing amiss and that HMRC must have it all wrong because a spokesman for Hertz says they've been paying their bills.
I'm assuming this is the same spokesman that told them about world cup stars arriving, new stands getting built and a world class DoF being appointed just before Jim Duffy strolled out from behind the curtain - so they're right to treat it as a non story.

STV reports on their problems. Merely trying to divert attention from the Celtic score. And the reporter is probably gay.
Their Official Website says it's all OK. They all bend over with their pants down.Every gimmick hungry yob,
