  1. Revolut card is the way to go, keep your other cards in the room safe, load just what you need for the day onto the revolut card via the phone app .....and don't lose your phone!
  2. She also booked one of their players for a foul he committed in a game 4 years ago.
  3. How awful hopefully it didn't spoil holiday and you didn't have anything of great value in your wallet - guessing 30 euros, bowls club membership card, pack of condoms 4 years past their use by date, and a signed photo of Gary Johnson with the eyes gouged out ! ??
  4. And the old Debenhams 1950's building has 4 floors albeit with very high ceiling height - unsuitable for direct conversion, energy costs etc, - the building would have to be stripped out to a shell, new layers of flooring, windows repositioned etc. The cost would be astronomical for a smaller return. Or an accountant either
  5. Remember Tristan Plummer was going to be the big star ( u17 England international etc) , but he never got another EFL club after being released - played non league for several years including WSM.
  6. Nigel, welcome. It's well known that you left Bristol City after a fall out with the owners - in hindsight do you now regret throwing Jon's brand new packet of crayons in the bin?
  7. I think this was a factor, as I understand Coppell wanted to sign Kitson and Ingermarsson - 2 players who had done well for him before - but SL vetoed the signings because they were too old, too expensive , and would have no value at the end of any contract..........SL then signed James who was both old and expensive! James himself has said that he didn't meet Coppell until after he'd signed
  8. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Cilla Black, Jamie Carragher, Lily Savage, your boys took one hell of a beating - can you hear me Jimmy Tarbuck? Your boys took one hell of a beating !!
  9. But not forgetting to plan a bank robbery to pay for it
  10. The Wickwar villagers campaigned for ages against the new developments ( fair enough it's their village) but what made me laugh was when one of the first new 4 bed houses to be be built and occupied ( right next to the cottage on the corner) immediately stuck a "Say no to new houses in Wickwar" poster in their window! The ultimate NIMBY- buys a house on a new development and immediately objects to anyone else doing the same. The one shop Wickwar had is now a private house as you say but an even bigger tragedy was the closing of Wickwar real ale brewery....I've now got to go to Uley to get my weekly polypin!
  11. As Ron Walker said in his excellent Sky Sports article "a club perpetually searching for its identity."
  12. Their breakfasts are tiny- and who puts cherry tomatoes on the vine on a fry up plate? I live in Charfield and I don't see many van men, the car park is full of large SUV's. My next door neighbour runs a small company who do work on mostly local construction sites and he takes the crew out every Friday for a fry up and the builders ( always the good judge of a decent breakfast) choice of venue in this area is Tortworth Farm Shop - his guys don't rate the VBC or the Hideout at Leyhill !
  13. It's a girly place - I wouldn't bother unless you like this stuff..... Meanwhile...proper grub you choose!
  14. Agreed, anything - a football club, your house, car, or something you're selling on eBay is only worth what someone is willing to pay. Other clubs - some already mentioned in the thread - have attracted buyers so clearly he's overvalued the club/Bristol Sport. It must be an ego thing, with a nett worth of over £1 billion whatever he gets won't affect him or his family or his grandchildren who will still have enough to enjoy a very privileged life, and given he appears disillusioned with elements of football club ownership, and his son's unwillingness to take it forward in the longer term..........why not lower the price and move on??
  15. Did he greet you " Alright Drive !"
  16. Quite a detailed analogy there bud, in fact too detailed !! ........anyway hope your early Aldi shift has gone well
  17. Champagne moment - Joe Sims sofa interview with Jon, It was such a reassurance to learn that the club is in such capable hands.
  18. You've done it now.......I'll give it 30 minutes before he starts. It was by the way
  19. No different to the barge in the back on Nhaki on Friday, there's no consistency.
  20. Whoooosh Half a dozen retired people hunched over the laptops spouting absolute bollox .......... you'll be in good company.
  21. Let's hope the radio is already tuned to RB then, or you could be in for a boring afternoon
  22. Why ? Can't he get a proper job?
  23. Unfortunately it looks like Cott's will be relegated for the first time in his management career. But to his credit he took on a club that were dead and buried and he has improved them but he hasn't any real quality to work with or enough time to turn it around. A lot of managers wouldn't have touched them but he has given it a go. If he wants to stay I'm sure he'll put together a team to have a real go at getting back up - he has a great knowledge of every EFL player and he'll find a few good characters to turn them around.
