Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has managed to register his image rights on the off-shore tax-efficient territory of Guernsey. Income received there for use of his rights everywhere else will not attract the kind of tax mere mortals pay in their daily lives.
Pellegrini, 60, developed a genial personality to combat profound ugliness, an affliction which has affected him for decades, so news that his image has commercial value is a wonderful boon for the multi-millionaire. Manchester City will also benefit as any monies they pay for use of their manager’s image will not attract tax or National Insurance contributions.
Uefa president, Michele Platini, who has never had to worry about ugliness, now has a different challenge. Whether or not to abandon his well-meaning Financial Fair Play aspirations, or get ugly on those who try to usurp his best intentions.

That went down well :))
Does anyone here remember Paul Baxendale-Walker?
If so, i have a funny story concerning him today…
Dbbia
‘Rough Justice’
Pity Sir Robert Watson-Watt strange target of this radar plot.
And thus, with others I can mention, the victim of his own invention.
His magical all-seeing eye enabled cloud-bound planes to fly.
But now by some ironic twist it spots the speeding motorist
and bites, no doubt with legal wit, the hand that once created it
I wont bore you with the details, but the introduction should provide enough amusement…
Introduction – the hunny bunnies club
1. Paul Baxendale-Walker (who also goes by the name Paul Chaplin) was formerly a barrister and then a solicitor specialising in tax law. Some people might have found that exciting enough, but since 2005, when he acquired and ran a company making pornographic films in which he also starred, he has been active in the sex industry. He describes himself now as a wealthy man living a playboy lifestyle. Those who are interested can apparently find details in the pages of Loaded magazine, which he purchased in May 2012. His lifestyle involves essentially casual relationships with multiple sexual partners, a group or club of women known as his “hunny bunnies” to whom, in return for their sexual favours, he makes lavish gifts, including money, clothes and holidays, as well as providing flats and cars for their use.
2. The defendant, Natasha Eustace, currently aged 25, was one member of this club. According to Mr Baxendale-Walker, they had what was no more than a casual and (on both sides) non-exclusive sexual relationship beginning in the summer of 2010 and lasting until December 2011, at which time their sexual relationship ended, although they remained friends. In August 2012 they agreed to give their relationship another go, but this did not work out and the attempt ended in October 2012, after which they remained merely friends. According to his evidence:
“She was never anything more than a TV stripper and glamour model, who provided sex and occasional companionship in exchange for a comfortable and conditional standard of living which I procured for her. … She is only one of more than a dozen girls for whom I procure the provision [of] housing, cars and other benefits. The provision is always conditional on my satisfaction with the relationship. As soon as I am no longer satisfied, the use benefits are withdrawn.”
3. Miss Eustace gives a different account. She claims that they had a loving and close relationship, which lasted until the beginning of 2013, and that although there were arguments over Mr Baxendale-Walker’s sexual activities with other women, it was intended to be a long-term and faithful relationship which would eventually lead to marriage, which was discussed on more than one occasion. That might seem an implausible claim to avid readers of Loaded magazine, but e-mails produced in evidence suggest that there was or at least may have been something more to the relationship than the less than gallant evidence quoted above. For example, in an e-mail dated 29 April 2012 Mr Baxendale-Walker assured Miss Eustace (among many other things) that:
“I do care about you.
More than anyone on this fucking planet. More than anyone has, or ever will in your life. …
There’s 1,000 different ways to make the genuine love that you and me have work.
That bit inside you that makes you want to sabotage relationships, [including friends] has succeeded in fucking up the most amazing relationship in your life. …”
4. He said that without her (at that time their on-off relationship was going through one of its off periods) he felt “like my right arm’s been torn off”.
5. Again, in a rambling and emotional e-mail dated 1 June 2012 he stated (again among many other things) that:
“You know I fell in love with you. You know I never stopped and you know I am deeply in love with you still.
There is just something in you that from the start touched me in a place I had never felt even since I was a child.
It is the Natasha colour of my soul. I guess it must always have been there, but it took you coming into my life to awaken it.
Since then, my life has not been the same.
It can never be the same.
The specialness of who you are has opened my heart as I never knew it could be.
That is an amazing, beautiful, thing. …”
6. The e-mail goes on in similar vein to speak of the emptiness of Mr Baxendale-Walker’s playboy life, describing his other girlfriends as “the shit girls”, and contrasting them with his genuine love for and commitment to Miss Eustace (“I had fallen in love with you, real love, love such as I have never known. Love that changed my relationship to the fucked up addict-like world I had created with BB [his pornographic film company] … I was committed to you”). He described also his desire to have a faithful relationship with Miss Eustace or, as he put it, to “go 1 on 1”, and the fulfilment which (while it had lasted) this had brought him:
“Tasha, I did it. I went 1 on 1 with you. Totally. It’s what I wanted to do. It was all 1 with deciding to get out of BB. Fantastic!
But then babe, I’m sorry, but you turned round and said you didn’t want to do it. You said maybe it’s better if we all just have open relationships and see whoever we want. …
When you did that turn around, I fell to pieces. In Jan 011 I thought I had found a new world: getting out of BB, being solely with you, together.
You touched my deepest love, my soul darling. I had this flood of feelings I had never felt. All good, real, profound. …”
7. Mr Baxendale-Walker concludes the e-mail by insisting that he still loves Miss Eustace, that without her he is lonely and desperate, that his only desire is to “fill your life with love and kindness and happiness and fun and togetherness”, and pleading with her to give their relationship another chance (“I want to spend my whole life with you building love”).
8. While these e-mails would not necessarily win any literary prizes, and it appears that there were e-mails at other times which imply a lesser degree of commitment, they do have a genuine ring which at least suggests that Miss Eustace may well have been rather more to Mr Baxendale-Walker than just another stripper who would have sex with him in exchange for temporary material benefits. It is not possible to determine on this application the precise nature of the relationship but, whatever it was, it formed the context in which Mr Baxendale-Walker provided (or procured the provision of) housing and motor vehicles to Miss Eustace.

Is that not the porno guy that was “advising” the Oldco currents?
currents = Currants ;-))
Delaney’s -it’s the way he tells them…
How can anyone possibly follow the goings on down govan way , with all the players in this debacle .
‘It is the Natasha colour of my soul.’

…………………………………
Tusker, you are not the first, Robbie the Pict had the same problem, and but for me noticing his comment and the absence of his name he wouldn’t appear on the list of “signatures” as a supporter.
Please, please, persevere and use the contact information at the foot of the box where your details go. This reads:
” If you continue to experience difficulty please email your details to petitions@scottish.parliament.uk and the clerking team will add your signature.”
Don’t give up and please ask the clerking team to pass on your difficulties to the petitioner (Me).
If you can go on Facebook go to my petition website at:
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Secret-Society-Membership-Declaration-by-Decision-Makers/1380320142194441
and give me your full details and I will contact the clerks, but they will just say “I don’t understand this did they have difficulty with the CAPTCHA?”
I think the CAPTCHA for my petition was dreamed up at Grand Lodge! Don’t be put off and keep refreshing till you get one that is legible.
Don’t listen to the CAPTCHA Sound symbol as it sounds like someone drunk drowning in a bath of custard.
Keep up the good work in Thailand.

I now have my original ticket spare, Main Stand WS 2. Nearer to directors box.

Any takers at £28…..
