Guest maxie Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Before we get carried away by the thoughts of what might happen over the course of the next 7 days, let's just bear in mind a few facts about Bristol. We have a pathetic public transport system Our local newspapers are no more than comics that take about 2 mintues to read Our claim to be a contender for European City of Culture 2008 was a joke We have no decent concert hall We have no Olympic sized swimming pool We have a council that took months after the election to decide who wanted to rule We have laughable traffic management This year's panto "star" is Julian Clary Our rugby club went bust twice One of our football teams promises much but when it comes to the crunch never delivers Our other football team flirts regularly with joining the Conference It costs the earth to live here but our public services and education standards are amongst the country's lowest We've talked about a tram system for 20 years but that's all we ever do... talk Bristol is just the place where successful sides' supporters come for a riot pre or post appearing at the Millennium Stadium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 So............judgeing from your post,you must applying to be elected to the City Council.

City Rocker Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Bristol is widely regarded as being among the nicest cities to live in the UK, as proven by the huge number of non-Bristolians who choose to adopt it as their home. What lets it down though, is the ###### whinging losers who moan about tram systems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest east_dundry_red Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Before we get carried away by the thoughts of what might happen over the course of the next 7 days, let's just bear in mind a few facts about Bristol. We have a pathetic public transport system Buy a car! Our local newspapers are no more than comics that take about 2 mintues to read Dont buy it then Our claim to be a contender for European City of Culture 2008 was a joke so was newcastle's! We have no decent concert hall Do we really need one? We have no Olympic sized swimming pool Yes we do its called keynsham rigby club after bad rain (just outside of brizzle but close enouth! We have a council that took months after the election to decide who wanted to rule Well i did offer to run it! We have laughable traffic management Buy a motorbike! This year's panto "star" is Julian Clary He's funny! Our rugby club went bust twice Leave the rugby club alone! One of our football teams promises much but when it comes to the crunch never delivers Just like chelsea! Our other football team flirts regularly with joining the Conference thats their problem! It costs the earth to live here but our public services and education standards are amongst the country's lowest Do what I'm doing...... GET AN EDUCATION SOMEWHERE ELSE! We've talked about a tram system for 20 years but that's all we ever do... talk Where would it be put exactly?

cider head Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 We have a pathetic public transport system = not bothered i drive. Our local newspapers are no more than comics that take about 2 mintues to read = but make great toilet paper. Our claim to be a contender for European City of Culture 2008 was a joke = yeah and a very funny joke as well. We have no decent concert hall = nothing worth paying to see unless your in to plastic pop idol pop stars. We have no Olympic sized swimming pool = no Olympic swimmers that are any good so don't need one. We have a council that took months after the election to decide who wanted to rule = don't they all We have laughable traffic management = but the road rage makes up for it. This year's panto "star" is Julian Clary = could be worse! could have been ray greydon ooppps so he was! Our rugby club went bust twice = blame the gas but don't like rugby much anyway. One of our football teams promises much but when it comes to the crunch never delivers = they will Our other football team flirts regularly with joining the Conference = this is bloody fantastic, don't knock it. it costs the earth to live here but our public services and education standards are amongst the country's lowest = cause all the dippy students have moved here clifton is full of them. We've talked about a tram system for 20 years but that's all we ever do... talk = because no one wants it. Bristol is just the place where successful sides' supporters come for a riot pre or post appearing at the Millennium Stadium = NO COMMENT I'M ONLY HAVING A GIGGLE WITH YOU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest maxie Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 I was obviously being too subtle fpr this Forum. All I'm saying is that it is typical of Bristolians to receive - and meekly to lie down and accept - second best in everything to do with Bristol. Replies like "stop whingeing" and "well, move then" just prove my point. So don't get hysterical if, at the end of the next fortnight or so,we haven't got promotion. It's just the way things happen to be round these parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimmerD Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Namely? ummmmm Massive Attack (City fans) Portishead Tricky Roni Size Quote from a BBC site: "Bristol's music scene has a reputation for innovation, experimentation and quality. In the past the city has been home to a wide range of artists who've drawn their inspiration from the city's wide ranging musical cross-currents. Most of us remember the heady days of Bristol's trip-hop scene in the late '90s when Portishead, Massive Attack, Roni Size and Tricky broke through into the mainstream. " Ok so we may not have dominated the scene, but the City was seen as being the most influential musically for while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
