Markman Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 The temperatures plummented and so for the first time ever I decided to take a flask of Bovril to watch City. I don't even like Bovril but it had been made for me by my better half who was just being helpful and so I thought it would be churlish not to take it - so I did - and I was frozen and so I drank it. Of course that was when we go on our unbeaten run and now I have taken a flask of Bovril to every game since.Now I know it makes no difference in the real world but until we lose I guess I am stuck with this - anyone else caught in a trap?

Nibor Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Thank goodness for that - how much Bovril is it safe to consume?I can confirm from personal experience that it is absolutely safe to consume no Bovril whatsoever.Beyond that I'm afraid you're entering a murky and dangerous world of experimentation.Just say no.Nibor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonsKev Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 I don't personally have any. However my old man never has a haircut throughout the football season and has been doing that for as long as i can remember. Mind you he has very little of it anyway.

gazareth Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 My friends and I have had a Starburst ritual at every game since 2000 or something. We have one starburst each every time the match clock reaches a multiple of 10 (including at kick-off). We feel extra lucky if we all have the same colour!
