Did you hear about the fat, alcoholic transvestite - All he wanted to do was eat, drink and be Mary. After a night of drink, drugs and wild sex, Jim woke up to find himself next to a really ugly woman. That's when he realised he had made it home safely. Paddy says to Mick, "Christmas is on Friday this year". Mick said, "Let's hope it's not the 13th then." My mate just hired an Eastern European cleaner, took her 15 hours to hoover the house. Turns out she was a Slovak. Since the snow came all the wife has done is look through the window. If it gets any worse, I'll have to let her in. I've been charged with murder for killing a man with sandpaper. To be honest I only intended to rough him up a bit. After years of research, scientists have discovered what makes women happy. Nothing. Two women called at my door and asked what bread I ate, when I said white they gave me a lecture on the benefits of brown bread for 30 minutes. I think they were those Hovis Witnesses. Seven wheelchair athletes have been banned from the Paralympics after they tested positive for WD40. A mummy covered in chocolate and nuts has been discovered in Egypt .. Archaeologists believe it may be Pharaoh Rocher... Two Indian junkies accidentally snorted curry powder instead of cocaine. Both in hospital...one's in a korma.. The other's got a dodgy tikka! In the first few days of the Olympics the Romanians took gold, silver, bronze, copper & lead. Sailing results are in, GB took gold, USA took silver and Somalia took a Middle aged couple from Weymouth An Englishman has started his own business in Afghanistan ! He is making land Mines that look like prayer mats! It’s doing well! Prophets are going through the roof!! Japanese scientists have created a camera with a shutter speed so fast, they can now photograph a woman with her mouth shut. A boy asks his granny, 'Have you seen my pills, they were labelled LSD?' Granny replies, bugger the pills, have you seen the dragons in the kitchen?! Little Billy asks his dad for a telly in his room. Dad reluctantly agrees. Next day Billy comes downstairs and asks, 'Dad, what's love juice?' Dad looks horrified and tells Billy all about sex. Billy just sat there with his mouth open in amazement. Dad says, 'So what were you watching?' Billy says, ' Wimbledon ..' A woman standing nude in front of a mirror says to her husband: 'I look horrible, I feel fat and ugly, pay me a compliment.' He replies, 'Your eyesight is perfect.' Wife gets naked and asks hubby, 'What turns you on more, my pretty face or my sexy body?' Hubby looks her up and down and replies, 'Your sense of humour! An elderly couple is attending church. About halfway through, the wife leans over and says to her husband, 'I just let out a silent fart; what do you think I should do?' He replies, "Get a new hearing aid"

Had an Irish mixed grill !! New potatoes, roast potatoes, boiled potatoes, mashed potatoes, waffles and hash browns with chips. Got a text saying: "Congratulations you have won either £1000 cash or tickets to see Elvis Presley. Press 1 for the money, 2 for the show....... "A man walks into a crowded bar with a loaded gun and shouts "who's been shagging my wife?" voice in the back shouts" You don't have enough bullets"..... My wife just asked me if her appendix scar made her look unattractive. Apparently the response of "don't worry babe, your boobs cover it" wasn't the answer she was looking for. Scouser went to court accused of having sex with a cat. The judge dismissed the case saying that in his 30 years as a judge, he'd never known a scouser put anything into a kitty! A bloke from Barnsley wakes up with a sore arse. He goes to the shop and says to the shopkeeper "nah then, does tha' sell arse cream?" The shopkeeper replies "That we do Lad, does tha' want a Magnum or a Cornetto?" My wife is suffering from depression. She phoned me the other day and said "I feel like jumping in front of a bus and you're not doing anything to help". So I sent her a timetable. I cannot stand people who think they're worse off than everybody else. My mate Don is brilliant. He had a bad accident where he lost his voice and both legs. Does he make a song and dance about it? Does he hell!

Just to remind us, even though we're going through some tough times at the moment, things still could be worse ! Sainsbury confirm store not being built http://www.thewestonmercury.co.uk/news/business/sainsbury_s_announces_it_will_not_build_supermarket_1_4260691

I'm intrigued what role Colin Sextone is playing, I'd be surprised if he had invested any money ininto Rovers. I'd have thought more likely there for his experience of our battle to get Ashton Vale, which in turn wouldn't seem like they are expecting a take over???

The rats are deserting! James Fuller has turned down a new contract and signed athree year deal with middlesex

Spotted that to, anyone who hasn't seen this watch the guy in the white t-shirt after Portsmouths first goal

You should visit Taunton when Glamorgan are in town for a T20 !

See post above r/e the draw

Finshed the sentance

Agree with the above, it doesn't really matter who starts the thread. Did find it amusing in the past where there was a "Matchday thread" then an "Official Matchday thread" ! It's good that Havanatopia starts this, but like Ian said above anyone can start a thread

Easiest way I found it to set up a photo bucket account - it is free. On my mobile for example I select the picture I want to upload on here, then just copy the link it gives then hey presto picture appears

Assumedly this is a similar thing through all levels of court cases? So basically "someone" would have been there for Rovers?

People saying that it is a positive sign that Burges Salmon are taking this case forward, but there someone will ALWAYS take a case on (as an example even Lee Rigby's killers were represented in defence). Surely this is just on a larger scale ?

Am still waiting to see where my brick ends up !

From the thread linked above, this reply is brilliant ! I went to watch Bristol v stade francais a few years back. Arrived at the ground but when inside the seat for my ticket did not exist. My wife's seat was there but not mine. Seemed that it had been removed from the end of the row to facilitate space for a wheel chair. Due to the fact it was a sell out the stewards fetched me a stool from the bar to sit on. So maybe we should all bring a bar stool to. Lots available due to the amounts of pubs closing down. Would add to the ambience in my opinion!

Solves the dilemma of going to finals day or City match

Oh yeah - oops. Mixed up the failures

Has to be a wind up ! He was training with Forest last week - bit of a come down !

I'm intrigued how you define "showing them support"? Should we shop only in Tesco? The mess they are in now is down to their own mistakes, morally Sainsburys have wormed out of a contract, but it was widely recognised that they wanted out in 2013, for some reason Rovers were badly advised that their case was "watertight", but that is their problem !! Didn't see them trying to help us in the Ashton Vale fiasco, so feel no need to get involved in any way with this. JPT was an ok atmosphere but not anywhere near the best !! Shall we start a campain to get Hartlepool back as we had a brilliant atmosphere against them once in the past? Being an "old git" I'm sure that you will clearly remember all the underhand tricks Rovers pulled back in 1982, that reason alone is why I am more than happy to see them disappear. Personally, don't miss them or the rivalry. I expect we already have a whole generation of supporters that have not watched City have any rivalry with them

We need to have a competition who can get a photo of a rovers fan (wearing a shirt) in a Sainsburys store!

This fact has been lost on many !

Found this written on the Evening Post site, finally someone has some sense of it all !! http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/BRISTOL-ROVERS-DECISION/story-26891234-detail/story.html Mr Higgs has shown a total lack of respect for the fans. His tenure has been an unmitigated disaster. He has shown his derision on the lifeblood of the club, it's fans, by closing the official fans forum, diluted the share scheme by re-issuing shares to the point that 1 million of fans money doesn't even get a measly 2% of the grossly inflated valuation of the club. He has been very economical with the truth and perpetrated that this contract was watertight yet it has been shown, beyond any shadows of a doubt, that it was anything but. This was supposed to be Higgs area of expertise. He was supposed to be the man who knew, who is an expert at building and the regulations yet the contract was described as a colander rather than watertight. There was a definite cut off point and Sainsbury's made the club aware of its decision not to buy as far back as 2013. Higgs reiterated this watertight comment when interviewed by Geoff Twentyman, on radio Bristol. He even banned an ex director for questioning him and being critical, now proved right by the way, of Higgs and his reading of the facts Nick Higgs has shown himself to be so cut off from reality that it beggars belief. He has lost any credibility he may have had with this failure to deliver. The unprofessional manner of even draughtiness this contract shows him to be unable to delegate, to people who may have been able to put a contract out that was not open to interpretation and allowed Sainsbury's to wriggle out if it. Regardless of the very poor way Sainsbury's have conducted themselves, the fact remains that the law was and is with them. That is fact. That Higgs felt that if he shouted long enough and loud enough, that he would prevail just shows how very out of touch he really is. I think his refusal, even at this point, to accept defeat shows him to be incapable to run the club. Appeal would mean getting leave to appeal firstly and then the appeal itself. We are talking years and not Months plus huge sums of money to undertake this. His money is guaranteed back as he is using our only asset to find this. If he is allowed to pursue this then the clubs very existence is in jeopardy. He has lost any credibility, has no integrity and honour and is a tyrant. I use string and emotive words and it's necessary. An unmitigated disaster, no more, no less. He cannot be allowed to borrow even more, against the ground, to put on the roulette wheel of the justice system. He is single handedly taking the club to the brink of not existing. We have enabled him by not criticising and in not questioning with enough vigour. It's a sad day for the club and even sadder for us long suffering fans. One has to ask, is this man addicted to drama ? Seriously. The Wycombe saga made us a laughing stock and it was bad enough being relegated out if the FL. much of the goodwill that other clubs had for us is now gone. I see that any truly decent man would do his part in bringing in new investment and walking away. I saw today's verdict as the only way he could be partly forgiven, had the verdict gone our way but now this is done, I see a dead Duck chairman who has holed the good ship Rovers below the waterline yet he still doesn't accept the verdict of an high court judge. You cannot make someone buy something they no longer want to buy and they made it abundantly clear they no longer wanted to buy, a long time ago. So much has come to light now that it shows we were not told the truth and much was misrepresented to the point that one has to wonder about his mental health. Go now please Higgs. You have done enough damage and when you tell us that without you there would be no Rovers, you only inflame and already very hurt fan base.
