Wonder if they kept the receipt!!!!

I give it "Ten Minutes" or so until this thread is invaded. I thought I didn't care until I realised just how amused I was when they dropped out of the basement last year. I was having this discussion with a Sag mate on Facebook last night...he is always very quick to bite and didn't disappoint when I commiserating them on narrowly missing out on taking Chesham to a shock replay! My last comment in the thread sums up how I feel about them nowadays... Naturally a little bit of context is missing, but you get the gist I'm sure: ".......The original post was because despite the fact the Gash haven't been actual rivals for some fifteen or so years it still amuses me as much when they fail miserably as it does you when we fail. It just so happens that it hasn't occurred so much to us in comparison over the last two years. Are you telling me you'd keep your mouth shut if the shoe was on the other foot and city had lost at home to Chesham? Of course you wouldn't, and neither would I expect nor want you to. That's what the rivalry, such as it is, is about. As I was posting it I guessed you'd get the hump. It wasn't the point of me posting it. I'm a city fan with city mates who would share the humour, but I'll be bollocked if I'm gonna moderate my posting just so a few sensitive souls don't get upset! Do that, and the rivalry dies there and then. See ya tomorrow night! smile emoticon

Club ownership rules rule them out, surely? SL/Bristol Sport would not be permitted to own two clubs in the English professional game, regardless of how amateur we consider them to be!

Don't be silly....of course he has....to acknowledge that he doesn't means that we would have to drop our pitchfork mentality!!!

The trouble with them playing their few 4 fixtures away is the logistical nightmare that it causes not only City, but Bristol Rugby as well, as it kinda forces us to be home for those first 4, which causes issues for POTD fans who can't shell out 100 in a month for match tickets. The fixture list compilation is extremely complex as it is. You add the rugby into the mix as well, and it all gets very messy. Ground share with someone - not us - seems most likely I would say depending on how big a delay we're talking about here, unless they can reach an agreement with Sainsbury.

Agree his delivery is much better. Disagree that we'd miss his height in the box. For a big guy he's bleeding woeful in the air! Keep him taking the corners, for sure.

Only if he was signed as a keeper....I hear he's static on crosses. Anyway - where did you hear that we were linked with him......?!?

What did he do to it....I don't remember....!

It's a tricky one though and I don't think you can compare the "every man" to the footballer. I would want everything I'm owed because I earn in a year less than most of them earn in a week and therefore have a mortgage to pay. There is no excuse for a footballer at a decent level to have a mortgage. They could pay off my mortgage in two months. With that sort of money, if a footballer has a mortgage then they're bloody irresponsible with their money. Footballers live in completely different worlds to the most of us in my opinion. There is no exuse for a higher league footballer to ever live in poverty.

A World renowned expert in the sounds of European Wasps is walking down the High St. one day when he spots an advert in his local record shop for "Wasp sounds from around the Globe". On further enquiry he discovers that a vinyl recording of this subject has just been released and a few copies are available in store there and then. Naturally, being a World renowned expert in the sounds of European Wasps he is curious and asks the young chap behind the counter if he can have a listen to "Wasp sounds from around the Globe". A few seconds later the World renowned expert in the sounds of European Wasps is standing at one of those little sound stations with his headphones on and a puzzled expression on his face. He removes the Headphones, walks back to the counter and catches the young sales persons attention. "Excuse me" he says, "I'm A World renowned expert in the sounds of European Wasps and I've just been listening to "Wasp sounds from around the Globe", and I must say, there appears to be some mistake. Those are no Wasp sounds with which I am familiar". The young man dutifully checks the recording in question and assures the World renowned expert in the sounds of European Wasps that he is indeed listening to "Wasp sounds from around the Globe". Puzzled,the World renowned expert in the sounds of European Wasps returns to the headphones and once again begins to listen. After a few seconds he once again returns to the counter and accosts the young fellow there. "Excuse me" he says, "As I mentioned before, I am a World renowned expert in the sounds of European Wasps and I've just been listening to "Wasp sounds from around the Globe" and I have to say again, those are no Wasp sounds with which I am familiar. Are you certain I have been listening to the correct recording?" Slightly exasperated by now, the young man checks the disc currently Playing and with a slightly sheepish grin confesses: . "Oops, sorry Sir, I seem to have played you the Bee side" :coat:

Right Now? Mika - Grace Kelly (and the album is cracking too!) Other than that, it's gotta be a bit of Bohemian Rhapsody... And of course there's the guilty pleasures of B-52's - Love Shack and Good ol Chesney!

Apparently, The Verve's The Drugs Don't Work is officially and scientifically the most depressing song of all time!! This is on account of the amount that it slows your heart rate etc. I'm so glad to see that our hard earned goes on meaningful research rather than ridiculous things like cures for cancer!!!! But I agree anything by Cantplay and (not)Keane just sends me to the brink. Incidentally, are they like a Clark Kent/Superman duo...? Their "music" is identical (i often cant tell which is on) and i'm not sure they've ever been seen in the same place as each other... hmmm... Or it could be a Milli Vanilli thing!!! (not)Keane miming to Cantplays songs! Or it could be that they're both utter tripe! Hey...can someone help me down off my soapbox please? Anyone..? Helloooooo?
