The Right Honourable Les Q Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Can I just remind fellow reds NOT to buy your seasonal refreshments too early, too soon before the furtive season, as the temptation to crack one open is hard to resist. When you have time on your hands and not enough to do. And I appollogise if my pots and replyes this afternon have been a bit much for one or too. Lovely stuff, mind, this mulled scrump...warms the cockles, it does. Love you all. Up the City. U Reds! Les *Few spelling mistakes there.

marksy Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 There's no point in me buying any refreshments at the moment Les, regardless of the time of year. If only i could break open a tin or bottle of something nice. I've gotta look after the liver for the time being. When you have one tonight Les, think of me sat here watching T.V. with a pint glass of Aldi spring water with a dash of orange squash. There you go, you reap what you sow,it seemed like a good idea at the time ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Right Honourable Les Q Posted December 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Crack one what?! Filthy old git. This is not the place to reveal what you get up to on these dark afternoons It took a while to warm up, Mabbsy, but very satisfying in the end, on a cold, winter's afternun. Have one yourself. Cheers! And up the City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Right Honourable Les Q Posted December 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 One is waiting until later. Once the cricket starts it'll be red wine time "You're forever growin' bubbles, Curly bubbles in your hair. They fly so high, they reach the sky, And like my jeans they ...." Went a bit wrong, that.

T R Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Ah! loves it, then on for a bit of Wassail http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wassail Do you think the club would plant an apple tree at our new redeveloped ashton gate, so we can do some celebrations for the new season with cider. Hopefully this would bring us better fortune. Who's going to be the queen at the top of the tree then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this would bring us better fortune. Who's going to be the queen at the top of the tree then? Alas, I doubt apple trees would get planted at AG, as when the ripe apples fall to the ground those men in fluorescent jackets would perceive it to be a health and safety issue, tiz then an angry apple and can be picked up as a missile and not food Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a pity really, but it is something unique in the football world to have. We could celebrate the new season with a few jars of cider and sing songs like this beneath. We need to change the wording slightly, like city tree instead of apple tree, and cup fulls instead of cap fulls. I can also imagine dolly being the first apple queen, placing the toast that has been dipped in cider on the branches, as a gift to the spirits and also a gift to the robins. Yes this probably wouldn't happen. Now I have given this idea away I expect another team will do this first. "Apple tree, apple tree, we all come to wassail thee, Bear this year and next year to bloom and to blow, Hat fulls, cap fulls, three cornered sack fills, Hip, Hip, Hip, hurrah, Holler biys, holler hurrah." Now I am thinking about it, it could also be a good spot for the city fans that are no longer with us, we could raise a few glasses to them in their memory. Anyway, I think I need another drink.

Rich_s Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Ah! loves it, then on for a bit of Wassail http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wassail Didn't the Wassail Queen have to be a virgin? It doesn't say it in the wiki article but I remember as a kid going Wassailing in Axbridge and it was discovered that a virgin wasn't at hand. At news of this a slightly worse for wear buxom peroxide blond mother of three came forward and instead placing toast in the branches, actually, for reasons I never quite understood, pulled down her snow-washed denim skirt and knickers and urinated against the base of the trunk much to amusement of an appreciative audience. It was probably a variation of Wassailing unique to Axbridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you tell kids today, and they don't believe you Mind you, it might be fun to tell the NIMBYs that was a traditional ritual on their village green. They might just be Green enough to fall for it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
