  1. Past hour
  2. Nope. Can’t recall the first one of Liams I did but as @1960maaan said, it seems to be appreciated so I’ll keep doing them if I have time. Its been interesting both because you can see that a change in demeanour leads to better answers (I don’t think there was a Pearson change in demeanour against results that was as clear) and because Piercys bit is always good value (I tend to want the RB bit to be done so I can get to him). Title of thread is pretty clear so if it’s not something people are interested in they can always skip past
  3. Today
  4. I think there is a difference between the target and the expectation, the target at the start of the season is always the top six, the expectation is the most likely finishing position, the two aren't necessarily the same.
  5. Being held in Germany I recall a Bristol version held at the Bristol club in Bristol just before one of the tournaments(2010?) Also several were held in London prior to the Ukraine/Poland tournament in 2012
  6. Rare, perhaps, but not unheard of, certainly as far as I am concerned. Back in the late 1970s, I used to play Sunday morning football and, in order to reach our home pitch, it was necessary to cross St. Paul’s in Bristol, passing via City Road or Newfoundland Road, both of which at the time were largely inhabited by Caribbean families. On numerous occasions, I have recounted to friends and family, the vicarious pleasure I felt in seeing whole families of black people, dressed in their Sunday best, walking proudly to Church. I am not too proud to admit that, on occasion, I had a tear in my eye when I saw, and frequently heard, these families, sometimes extended families of perhaps ten or even twenty people, adults and children alike, walking proudly to whichever Church it was in which they were headed, practicing their hymns en route. I assure you it used to be a glorious sight and, likewise, I don’t recall having seen a similar spectacle amongst white people. Here in France, I frequently come across markets catering mainly for the black African population. They are, for me, a wonderful sight, but apart from the array of ‘strange’ fruits, vegetables and spices, the bright colours of the clothing the women wear is amazing - in an extremely positive way. I encounter Arab and black people on a daily basis, and have no problem with either, and why should I? Nevertheless, I can’t help but notice certain traits, peculiar to these people, traits that were not common among the white people with whom I grew up in Bristol. Have you ever heard a black African man laugh? The sound is amazing; a deep, roaring noise that comes from the pit of his stomach and seems to make everything around him shake. It always makes me smile, just like that old song ‘The Laughing Policeman’ often makes me chuckle. So, various personal observations of black people, which I assure you I don’t consider negative and mention only because they stick in my mind as being different from most white people I know. You must draw your own conclusions as to whether my observations and comments are racist.
  7. Yesterday
  8. He also said "we probably don't want to have that many more season ticket holders" To me that's concerning.
  9. Hi Porto, Many Thanks for your response, and my apologies for my tardy acknowledgment and reply. Firstly, No, we have not already done the centre, nor have we ever visited Porto. We have visited the Algarve and Madeira, both of which we loved, and I visited Lisbon many years ago on business. This time we intend to spend a week in Porto, some days in the town itself and others exploring the neighbouring areas, including the northern suburbs as you suggest - and lazy lunches in local fish restaurants is very much our thing. We are both keen on walking, so envisaged taking a metro or even a train away from the centre and walking back, preferably along the coast - my wife has this strange desire to walk the Camino Portugues, but that is probably for another time. We shall certainly try and take up some of your suggestions, though, and Thanks for your help.
  10. Just renewed my season tickets for next year. Same seat at Ashton Gate. I guess it's easy enough to move it to the HPC if they don't sell many but...
  11. The pod will be an interesting listen regardless of the NP in or out split during October which was probably polling at 80% in. I expect Nige will paint a picture without actually breaking his NDA...an older head and all that. I thought warnock and pearson were good value on sky last night covering the Leicester game.
  12. Was there for that one, one of the better away days with the Farm in recent years for sure! Have to hope Cribbs help us out v Larkhall, although tomorrow night will be tough before we even think about the weekend.
  13. Ha, I used to use sewing machine oil on my Technics SL 150 deck, with its Sharp cartridge - I shall have to check on the specs.
  14. They're things contracted though Moving games isn't I personally can't see it happening It may end up being a glorified out of season tournament like we get now, but nothing more
  15. Aye, one of the good ones. There`s hardly any left now., the place is just full of mealy mouthed career politicians who`ve never done an honest day`s work in their lives.
  16. Will be interesting to see how many central lower Lansdown tickets become available now. Just under 250 corporate tickets for sale
  17. I think you've added the wrong URL, this link is about the Swindon area
  18. I know that two years past since the message was made ,but I think that the problem is still relevant even today.
  19. Nothing wrong with that from our point of view but doubt he will sign Things can be both possible and highly unlikely!
  20. Concept good, but 5x is hardly a cap is it, if the only team over it is Chelsea!
  21. Manning looked like he couldn’t be less interested in him when asked in the presser. “has looked decent in training this week, tbf” basically = “he’s been ******* crap usually” !!
