I’ve been sent a brain teaser. What legal reasons would someone have to discretely pay another individual £500k? The people are not currently in business together, although the recipient previously worked for the sender. No goods have been provided.
It’s a puzzle.
Looking for legal reasons only, no crazy illegal notions or wild speculation about real persons, this is purely a theoretical exercise.
Apparently I’m being sent a moral dilemma tomorrow: Will the recipient, with off-shore accounts but living in interesting times, declare the £500k?

This is what you are looking for?
Very funny.
Isnt it peacefull in our world when they cant play the whataboutery game anymore
Ciao tutti ——
Lovely day —spring is in the air —way down south .
The £ 500 k is old news . Just one more example that dubious practice was everyday practice for a” big businessman ”
Pay for some insurance —– cover your ass. Full time falsehood is very tiring and stressful- share the burden and involve others.
Long walk on a sunny beach -soon come .
Enjoy !

Just so you know, there are other teams raising money for Vanessa as well.
http://www.justgiving.com/teams/vanessariddle
So far £468k has been raised.
Only £32k to go. If everyone at the game gave just a pound, the total would be raised.

Off to the game……. Hail Hail

Warning!, Long passionate post incoming,
Lately Ive been waiting on hearing the dulcet tones of my wife screeching *GET UP!! its 7 o’clock!!! then I realise this isnt a dream. I dont know how many of you feel like that. For the last ten days this has all felt like a wonderous, marvelous, beautiful dream. But it’s real! and I can’t quite believe it. I still can’t.
Normally I can string more than one sentence together. Not lately though. For the last ten days I’ve been like a giggling child who has found the preverbial jelly in the fridge and snuck a spoonful of gorgeous green lime joy. Waiting to be caught in the act by a furious mother and recieve the wake up call of a slap around the lug.
It has taken 10 days for me to get to this point. The point were I can actually narrate my feelings properly. I am alive to witness the demise of an instituiton, an element within our society who have commited crimes of bigotry, intolerance, violence and murder against our family.
I never thought this day would ever come and here’s why.
As a 7 year old boy I was ‘lifted’ into my first game at Parkhead by my dad and uncle. It was April 20th 1977, I held my dad’s hand in fear and excitement as he took me further and further down between a sea of bodies and noise until suddenly the most majestic thing I had ever witnessed, forever changed my life. An expanse of green, shining like a jewel, glittering in the brilliant floodlghts took my breath away. A wall of noise erupted, so loud it shook me to the bone. The Celtic Song had started and what seemed like a million people bombarded my eardrums with raw emotion. We beat aberdeen 4-1 that night. It was the perfect introduction to my extended family.
As weeks and years went by and the older I got the more I was understanding. I would hear my dad and uncles talk about ‘them’ and wonder what they were talking about. For a while I thought they were spies. As a young boy it was natural to think like that but one day I asked my dad ‘whats a hun dad?’ I was around 9 at this point and probably asking the exact same question every Celtic fan of my age was aking their dad’s.
In hindsight I have to admire my dad’s fake revulsion at the question. He knew it would be coming, he just didnt know exactly when.. He admitted as much one night when we were reminiscing. ‘Who told you that word?’ A boy at school called me it, what does it mean? Without hesitation, he picked up a newspaper and pointed at a picture and held his finger to his lip to warn me to stay quiet. It was a picture of Gordon Smith who was just about to join ‘them’. ‘Thats a hun’ he whispered.
From that day on my innocence of ‘them’ was gone. Any chance I had I read the football pages with my dad. I was football daft and just couldnt get enough. Everything changed though in the mid 1980′s.
All through my teens and into my early twenties I used to think I had cursed us. It was the era of souness, butcher and murray. It was also the era when to be a Celtic fan was mocked. It was mocked everywhere. At work, on tv, in the papers, everywhere. Bigotry was rife, secterianism was something we didnt have a problem with according to authorities. It became all to apparant what was going on. We had our elements of defiant singing at games but nothing in comparison to innocent boys being murdered in the street because of the team they support. I sat and watched the politicians do nothing. I wished for ‘them’ to disappear.
That innocent boy who entered Paradise as a wonderstruck 7yr old had finally realised who he supported. In the institutions eyes I had chosen the wrong team and there wasnt a damn thing I or any Celtic fan could do about it. For years I was told to go home because of who I supported, even though I was born in this country, raised in this country and regard myself as Scottish as a haggis. I wanted them to die. I wanted every one of their supporters to know hurt. To feel it, to experience the years of suffering they had put me through.
But bigotry, secterianism, violence and murder wasnt enough for them. They wanted my family dead. they wanted everything I love dead. Their media prostitutes spun their party line and sang and danced when the thing I loved most outwith my direct family was about to die. There were no words of sympathy or support, no pleas for help, just words of hate and derision.
But the fightback began in the most unexpected of ways. A little man I had never heard of, with a squit, glasses and a bunnet. I watched him on the news and the years of hurt began to evaporate day by day. He was me, he was you, he was every single one of us. He could do what I so badly wanted to do and he did!.
And now, how the tables have turned!
Which brings me back to, is this a dream? I have waited 25 years to see these last 10 days happen. For others it is longer, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 years. I can only imagine the elation you all feel. I have sat, engrossed, witnessing the extinction of 25 years of abuse, mental torture, hate and bigotry before my eyes. I have watched ‘them’ plead to be saved by the instution that has protected them for so long. I bear witness to their hurt, their pain and I hope it hurts!
You have hurt and abused me for too long for me to have any sympathy for how you feel. My wish is that your team is liquidated. For the thing you love to be no more. For the titles you cheated every other team out of to be stripped from your history because that is what you deserve for your treatment of not only my club and family but also this nation.
I just wish my dad was here to witness it

Another quote from The Herald:
“The saverangers.com campaign launched by the side’s three main supporters’ groups said they had managed to receive nearly £9m in pledges in less than 48 hours, and dismissed fears many of the pledges were not genuine.”
Aye, they are confident that Mason Boyne, Herr Ratzinger et al will actually come up with the money they have pledged.

I do have some doubts about the veracity of Fr Sean Murphy, Vatican City pledging a substantial sum of money too!!

I don’t think Padraig Pearse or Thomas Clarke will be making good on their £2000 pledges either.
Mort
There is no Old Firm!
Just about to head to Celtic Park and really looking forward to the game…..what an opportunity to send a clear message out to the other teams in the SPL ….bring back the fear factor!
My son is one of the guard of honour selected to wave the teams onto the park……question of the day can I get my picture taken with the team.
Everyone be careful and enjoy the game and a special thanks for all the superb posts.
Last laugh Mark Hately managed to lose more Celtic fans with his delusional article yesterday!

well spotted. heard it last night and can’t stop singing it.
today could be the biggest crowd of the season outside of a game against the huns.
Heading towards 57,000 sold now.
Get yourself along if you can, its going to be a jelly and ice cream day.

I doubt they will ever get £500 from either Zipper T Doodah or King Ludwig the Third of Bavaria either.
finbar42 at 12:48
£500 pfft, cheapskates.
I know for a fact that King Ludwig’s son Prince Hoodwink has just pledged £2,000

No kidding! Tee hee hee
Mind you now that we’ve all done the obvious we should maybe really make it hard for them by pledging under names like ‘Fraser Campbell’, ‘Kyle Donaldson’ ‘Muir Johnstone’ and various other interchangeable sur and christian names.
You can do two pledges just by changing the name around:
Campbell Fraser/ Fraser Campbell
Lol
Football Focus presenter just pointed out the first four teams in Scottish Premier League spells out HMRC. Good old aunti Beeb – furra change!

Just on, Any team news
Having watched Aberdeen for 45mins there, the only way we will drop points next week is due to our own profligacy
They are a very poor side with zero goal threat
A quick thank you to Jock Stein, Billy McNeil, David Hay, Wim Jansen, Martin O’Neill, Gordon Strachan and godspeed, Neil Lennon, for making Celtic the most successful team in Scottish Football in my lifetime.
Pete Zahut and Fritz A Grandoldteam won’t be honouring their pledges either.
…..Club Secretary, matchday announcer and “Physio” Doig Urqhart, has announced that the venue for annual sash-bash has been moved due to overwhelming demand for tickets from upstairs at Chaplins, Paisley Road West to the nearby Boys Brigade Hall……
Get along early and don’t miss the banter from Club Legends “Nissy n’ Naisy”……

You’ve got a better idea.
MBB’s lawyers are now playing Pimpernel.
Taggart to young raw English Detective at murder scene: “We don’t have ligatures in Maryhill”.
When the detective talks about the victim’s “undergarments”, Taggart: “Are knickers no good enough for you?”
