WTFiGO!?! Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Like Mandela, I walk the long road to Ashton - no, that's not right is it? As for Latin, I am fluent. Or should that be: "I ut profluenter Latine loqui" ? I'm used as a business translator with A Roman firm dealing in time-travel machines. I dropped in on 1905 the other day, the message from the lads on that run is that they are delighted we're doing so well right now as well. Left out some of the more depressing info between then and now as I didn't want to upset them. Did tell them all about John Atyeo, though. You could see Billy Wedlock was in awe, hearing about a fellow legend. Told them about the gas but all context was lost about the hilarity of them being non-league as that's all they know right now anyway, bless 'em.

WhistleHappy Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 OK, this just popped into my head, haven't done it myself but no doubt there's a few cup-tied Otibers out there with nothing much to do today. So (I've no idea if this will work) The challenge is to imagine a walking route to Ashton gate using roads in alphabetical order only. Starting from anywhere in the Greater Bristol area - furthest walk wins. Off you go then, see you at the Gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
