    You are right but it's not Horlicks it's . . . . . hot chocolate hot chocolate drinking chocolate drinking chocolate hot chocolate hot chocolate drinking chocolate drinking chocolate hot chocolate hot chocolate drinking chocolate drinking chocolate hot chocolate hot chocolate drinking chocolate drinking chocolate hot chocolate hot chocolate drinking chocolate drinking chocolate hot chocolate hot chocolate drinking chocolate drinking chocolate hot chocolate, the drink that's as warm as mink.
  3. I don't usually comment on transfer rumours but I think someone at City must be keeping an eye on our physio.
  4. Today's Monday, Today's Monday, Monday is washing day Is everybody happy? You bet your life we are!
  5. We may have lost 8-3 but the match was so bizarre it could have gone either way, honestly, we might easily have won 3-8 on another day or it could have been 6-6 nobody really cared because the Rovers fans were on board with my barmy solutions and knew I was dangerous when backed into a corner like Charles Darwin.
  6. And a right pair of ravers they were, too.
  7. That was never proven and Robin Perry settled with me out of court.
  8. "in Warren's biography he relates an incident where he flew over Barrow's Holker Street field and commented "I own that".
  9. We have electrostatic turnstiles now.
  10. You'd better get off before it is repossessed.
  11. You were asked about what you fear Mr Al-Quidi is doing behind the scenes. Some supporters fear he is about to pass control of Rovers to a Liverpool businessman with experience of sewing mail bags.
  12. No further communication between Mr Al-Quidi and Mr Cheever-Loophole of Lavignac/Conygar after their carrier pigeon was shot down over Turkey. Or it might have been that their Turkey was shot down over Equatorial Guinea. I couldn't hear properly because the horse had laryngitis.
  13. I have to admire your pluck in challenging that credulous mob on the Rovers fans forum. Many have wondered how such seemingly incompatible characters as Mr Al-Quidi and Mr Barton could find common purpose and the answer may be that they are both, in their own way, Gaslighters. Here is an interesting article from Forbes magazine. Gaslighters: Aggressors Playing The Victim One of the ways that gaslighters/narcissists exert their power through playing the victim. In relationships, gaslighters play the victim in order to manipulate and guilt their partners into doing their will. On a global stage, when gaslighter "plays the role" of a victim, it takes on a different tone. A gaslighting leader who plays the victim rallies supporters into defending the gaslighter against a perceived enemy. This serves two purposes—to distract from the gaslighter's behavior and to keep the perceived enemy off-kilter by quickly switching from an aggressor to a victim. The gaslighter attacks whenever someone questions or criticizes the gaslighter's behavior—and whoever stands up for those who question the gaslighter are similarly attacked. However, when the pressure is on the gaslighter, they play the "poor me" card quickly. What should you do when you go from being attacked by a gaslighter to being painted as the aggressor by the same person? You could immediately defend yourself, but you run the risk of looking like you are validating the gaslighter's accusations. If you stay silent and wait for the gaslighter's comments to die down, damage may already have been done to your reputation. This is exactly what the gaslighter seeks—putting you in a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation. That is where the gaslighter gets his power. Controlling through playing the victim gets the gaslighter as much attention as being an aggressor. Maybe a combination of defense and then laying low is the solution. State the truth, with verification of that truth—then let the gaslighter's comments ride out their impact. When a gaslighter makes enough swings from aggressor and victim towards the same source, others start to notice the pattern. Then people will immediately question the source when the gaslighter acts as if they have been "done wrong."
  14. South Gloucestershire Council did put in a bid of 46 million but Mr Al-Quidi turned it down. Oh, sorry, wrong thread.
  15. Bond Barton bust-up being laid bare by beleaguered burghers of BS7
  16. We are working on it Jim. Something like Mr Al-Quidi asking Curtis Warren to lend him a few bob.
  17. March 1967 and City are playing Derby County in the pouring rain at Ashton Gate. A corner is awarded to the home side and Jantzen Derrick takes up an unusual position in the centre circle. As the corner taker ambles slowly towards the ball Jantzen unleashes an incredible sprint into the penalty area and from about 12 yards out, without stopping, puts head to ball sending it screaming into the net with the goalkeeper motionless. I was there on a scouting mission. Running the eye over Marina Dolman.
  18. Hilda tells me someone has created a Muriel of Rovers' "greats" on the outside wall of the East Stand lavatories. Mr Al-Quidi is naturally at the forefront but unfortunately the artist ran out of paint so his flies are left undone.
  19. I'm not sure whether any bookmaker would offer odds on a Rovers player being red carded next season for fighting with a team mate but it might be worth a flutter.
  20. This wouldn't have happened in my day Bath City FC @BathCity_FC 90+' A scuffle at the end of this one, as Rovers players allow their frustrations to boil over. [3-1] #Romans
  21. Just had a message from Merlyn. In light of record season ticket sales the announcement has been delayed while they look at increasing the stadium capacity.
  22. As an AIM listed company Conygar will delay their announcement until the markets have closed and the rotten fruit has been taken away.
  23. A whisper that tomorrow is the day Conygar Investment Company PLC will announce their purchase of land owned by Wholesale Fruit Centre (Bristol) Ltd together with the site development plan to include a 28000 capacity football stadium.
