reaths17 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 At best I think what is happening is Journalists are asking if it OK to ask these questions and being told NO!!!! so none of them are reporting on the story but are trying to bury it, but the hard facts in the public domain are only peing published AS IS? but nobody is willing to go out on a limb, and ask anayway even to report we asked but the reply was "no comment". thats tells a story on its own. unlike when they didn't ask vlad, they just made a documentary about him. their not just no asking the questions, they don't want the answers and they don't want anyone else to know either. where's the documentary on sir david murray swindling in excess of ?100m from the taxman/people. there's never been a bigger or worse cover up. the fact this is still being avoided by the weegie media 5 years later but still the center of discussion by the footballing public of Scotland says it all.

Mikey1874 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 For what? Contempt of court if doesn't follow any Court of Session judgement for which we don't yet have a date. The issue is the financial regulators take the 30% rule (have to bid for all the shares once own 30% and they deem King as acting with the others - Leatham, Taylor and Park) seriously as its deemed 30% gives effective control allowing you to manipulate share prices and other dealings.

Craig Herbertson Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 A fiddle and a violin are the same beast, my friend, and said beast didn't exist in Nero's time. If the story has any merit at all, then he probably played a kithara or similar. Vitally important to clear up this technical question. redjambo is correct in that the kithara rather than a fiddle is the most likely instrument Nero used. But even though the story might be apocryphal, the account by Tacitus, of a vain performer reveling in the beauty of the flame has a real ring of truth and it states that Nero sang : Hoc incendium e turre Maecenatiana prospectans laetusque ?flammae?, ut aiebat, ?pulchritudine? Halosin Ilii in illo suo scaenico habitu decantavit. paraphrased as: Viewing the fire from the tower of Maecenas and delighting in ?the beauty of the flames?, he sang the entire ?Sack of Ilium?, dressed in his full stage costume. The Glasgow media could almost quote what follows for their future editions: Ac ne non hinc quoque quantum posset praedae et manubiarum invaderet, pollicitus cadaverum et ruderum gratuitam egestionem nemini ad reliquias rerum suarum adire permisit; conlationibusque non receptis modo verum et efflagitatis provincias privatorumque census prope exhausit. Furthermore, to gain from this disaster all the spoil and booty possible - while promising the removal of the debris and dead bodies free of charge - he allowed no one to approach the ruins of his own property; and from the contributions which he not only received, but even demanded, he nearly bankrupted the provinces and exhausted the resources of individuals.
