SirWalterSmithLegend 206 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 unless im mistaken the times have a woeful sales rate at the minute! I think someone posted the sales on one of the Rangers sites and like every other paper the OC has worked in its dwindled since hes been there.RC as you always tell us is for tims, so obviously he would be doing well there.I dont really understand why you have been getting excited about this. It shouldnt matter if Daffy duck wrote the blog, it was the truth about an arsehole!Im not excited, at all, its very boring. Ive already said it was refreshing and i enjoyed reading it.

RM Monitor And Standards Officer 112,580 Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Heres a great article involving David Leggat A retired teacher who spent four days trapped in a freezing toilet says he survived by dipping his feet in hot water.David Leggat was stuck in the bathroom at his bowling club with no food or contact with the outside world after the door jammed behind him.The 55-year-old, who spent 16 hours of each day in darkness, was eventually freed after cleaner Cathy Scollay heard his cries for help and raised the alarm."There was no reason for anyone to come looking for him," she said. "David looked awfully grey and shaky when he came out but he managed to walk up the road to his house."Leggat's ordeal began when he went to use the toilets at the Kittybrewster and Woodside Bowling Club in Aberdeen, England.He became trapped as the outside handle of the toilet door had fallen off a few days earlier. When he went into the bathroom, the inside handle jammed.The unmarried bowler, who is the club's wine convener, said he quickly realized he was in for a long wait as the club is rarely used in winter.The retired English and history teacher told Aberdeen's Evening Express newspaper: "I had nothing with me to eat so I sipped cold tap water to keep me going. "I did a survival course once and knew I had to keep my feet warm, so I kept running a basin of hot water and putting my feet in to send the heat through my body."Club secretary Bob Ewing was called and used a screwdriver to open the door."At least there was a toilet to use," Leggat told the Evening Express. "The only thing I regret is not getting trapped behind the bar." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont care what it is he writes, the fact remains he does not work in the mainstream mhedia yet several posters are tying themselves in knots claiming he does. A wee freelance article here and there or some freelance match descriptions is fuck all compared to what Creep does and that is in no way a defence of the OC, i despise that bastard.The only articles i can find of Leggoman are from 2009.

He is still a journalist and a member of the NUJ who writes for the Express and Sunday Express doing match reports of a weekend.I am struggling to find a reason for you making a mountain out of a molehill to be perfectly honest.Spiers is being protected by Linklater (among others) and was hounded out of the Herald by Charlie Gordon for being a snivelling,conniving,workshy piece of shit.As Leggat has alluded to on several occasions the new overall Editor (Dinsmore) may not be as protective of this Odious Creep once he sees for himself how little journalistic work he actually does for his over inflated salary and ego.
