Mr Mosquito Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 I've just finished reading today's Western Daily Press (April 1st 2004) and featured on the back page - lo and behold!!!!! - Ian Hollowhead and Geoff Dungford. Dungford is probably the bigger fool after admitting pumping £400,000 of the Dungford fortune into the Gas just to keep the Gas in the football league last season The other fool, Ian Hollowhead, still maintains he is a staunch Gashead and reckons he won't even listen to the City fans this Saturday It's now up to us to create an intimidating atmosphere for Hollowhead, big head Bigknob and the hoards of blue hooped Monarchist Cockneys.

Mr Mosquito Posted April 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Look fella stop spouting this republican nonsense or you'll be the first in the tower after the reveloution. In 1661 Oliver Cromwell's body was exhumed from Westminster Abbey by Monarchists on the orders of Charles II and was subjected to the ritual of a posthumous execution - on January 30, the same date that their tyrant King Charles I had been executed. Cromwell's corpse was in fact hung, drawn and quartered. At the end his body was thrown into a pit. Cromwell's head however was detached from his body and displayed on a pole outside Westminster Abbey until 1685. Since then it changed hands several times before eventually being buried in the grounds of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, in 1960. ........I don't think you Royalists can do any worse to me in that bloody tower than was done to Cromwell's corpse PS page 8 of today's WDP features an article on Republicanism in Australia for your perusal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as for the Aussis - I don't want a bunch of vulger racist convicts in the commonwealth. I bought today's WDP in wonder at the piccies on the front page and page 7. I thought the Iraqis were hanging sheep carcuses from a bridge when in fact they're human bodies!!!!! These Iraqis are still not as ghoulish as the Royalists that did mutilate the corpse of Cromwell - in my honest opinion Marcus Bigknob reckons, WDP page 61, that Saturday's game is far more important than the game he played for with the Gas when he scored in front of the Atyeo stand. Bigknob was, apparently, a last minute signing for QPR from Rushden and Diamonds before the transfer deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WillsbridgeRed Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 I wonder how many Republicans are Catholic?

Umm to keep it City related - Ronnie Sinclaire , where is he now! You've just got to buy today's Western Daily Press Willsbridge. Great article on page 10 entitled "Danger's of USA's mission from God" - an awesome read. It explains the thinking in American government that goes back to the original Puritan immigrants that fled religious persecution in England !!!!!! A lot of those original Puritanical immigrants were, in fact, Oliver Cromwell's main supporters !!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that....Bristol City, like the punks of yesteryear, fly the flag for the underdogs. Strange how we're still here and the so called English 'super patriot' Thatcher has fled to live in the Republican USA. Against overwhelming odds the bulk of the 1970's/80's zidermen have survived relegation from Div 1 to Div 4 and the merciles/pitiless Thatcher regime to come back better and stronger than before. Are we SUPERMEN ?????!!!!!! 'cause I believe we are We are zider redz, we are zider redzzzzz Up the City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chivs Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Are you saying that Cromwell's head was kept on a pole for 24 years? That must have scratched a bit. Here's a question for you...were the places that recently voted for mayoral rule, as opposed to council rule, original staunchly royalist in the good old days? Oh yeah, is Wilson a royalist or what?

Guest WillsbridgeRed Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 America is having a wave of religious thinking morality right now, which in all honesty can only be a good thing. I'm hoping it will catch on here. However a militant Catholic superpower is dangerous - Spain and France being the 2 previously. Maybe we should be rebuilding the Navy? Seriously though America has always had a ruling elite of puritanical christians. They certainly have alot of influence, look at the whole Janet Jackson saga at the superbowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cromwell's head was indeed kept on a pole outside Westminster Abbey for 24 years as a warning to others not to oppose the Monarchy and partly to satisfy Charles II whose father Charles I was executed. Not sure about your second question regarding mayoral and council rule. As for Danny Wilson he had the chance of being the King of Ashton Gate last season but blew it in our last game against Cardiff in the play-offs Steve Lansdown is our 'King' for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Cromwell's head however was detached from his body and displayed on a pole outside Westminster Abbey until 1685. Since then it changed hands several times before eventually being buried in the grounds of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, in 1960. Interestingly, Cromwell's sister is buried in Longthorpe, Peterborough and the grave stone comments that the grave contains not only her remains, but also those of a relative. It does not state which one and the local reckon that is Ollie's head. (Not to be confused with Hollowhead whose dreams will be buried @ AG on Saturday)!!!!!

There's also a great mystery surrounding the actual burial place of King Harold - the last truely Anglo-Saxon King of the English who died fighting to defend his realm against the Norman invaders at Hastings. One thing's for sure - if you're a controversial leader your remains will be hidden to stop the burial place becoming a shrine to others with similar beliefs. I just hope Wilson and Co can bury the spectre of Hollowhead's QPR this Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any attacking vessel would have to sail through 3 miles of Avon Gorge with treacherous mud banks and the second fastest tide in the world against them. Plus assorted Bristolian heroes at the top of the Gorge and suspension bridge hurling rocks down at them Even if an enemy ship made it through to the floating harbour they'd soon attract the attentions of hoards of marauding City fans exiting Ashton Gate. Any surviving invaders would then have to explain their actions to the half-wit Bristol councillors in their comfy Council Chamber - they'd be bored to death with a politically correct lecture translated into their own language lasting for months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newboy Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Absolutely class! I bet you never get this kind of discussion on the argyle site.. "We're goin up" "Yeah. Stuff the brizzol druggies" "heh heh. yeah" "hey beavis..." Mind you, organised religion could teach BCFC a thing or two: (if you take offence at this, then I'm not having a go at your religion, just one of the other ones ) 1. Unquestioning support 2. Massive organisation/supporter wealth discrepancies 3. Massive influence with no need to practice what is preached 4. Out of date dogma with no need to make it relevant to society today 5. Corruption with no come-back Sounds fantastic. If City could do that, they'd be Man Ure! Allegedly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now Wilsbridge, you know the comfortable, and prosperous will never pay money to re-build our armed forces, God defend our way of life, naaah the trendy lefties dont want that at all, gave in to the PIRA, and signs of giving in to muslim extremisism too, while making our forces a shadow of their former size, shame they cant take our military skills out though, and its amzing how we get treated when the ###### hits the fan, abso-bloody-lutely amazing. Other countries are exactly the same, mainly worse, and now the USA calls the shots, and everybody moans!! If you want a seat up there with, put the money and troops up, not cut back, to spend on illegals fighting deportation, or stupid multi million pound enquiries no-one tells the truth at. The price of Freedom is eternal vigilance, and that, I'm afraid costs..close run thing in 1940, and todays world is much more dangerous, than a one knackered paperhanger, with a hygene and race problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
