Stressfull times on the boards for many posters - perhaps we should take a quick raincheck and chill a bit. How about this? It was a quiet Sunday morning, and all was well at the Robins family home. Football fan Adge Robins, an avid Bristol City supporter was just getting into the shower as his wife Peggy stepped out having just finished hers, when the front doorbell rang. "You carry on Adge" said Peggy, "I'll get it". Without time to put any clothes on, she grabbed a towel, quickly wrapped it around her and ran down the stairs. Holding the towel in front of her, she opened the door. Standing on the doorstep was next door neighbour Bob Banks, a fervent Cardiff City supporter. Bob was taken aback for a moment. His eyes widened and his jaw dropped as he spluttered "Hi Peg, is Adge there please?" Peggy said "Hi Bob, he's just got in the shower, can I do anything for you?" Quickly gathering his thoughts, Bob reached into his back pocket and pulled out a wad of £20 notes, and holding it forward said " Look Peg, there's £500 there, if you drop that towel, you can have it all" Peggy thought for a few seconds, and looked around to see there was no one about. Knowing she was a bit short and could do with the extra cash, she dropped the towel. Bob gasped. His eyes widened further and his jaw dropped lower as he stared for a full ten seconds before handing her the money. He turned around and left without uttering a word. Peggy quickly shut the door, picked up the towel and rushed to hide the cash away before running back upstairs. "Who was that?" shouted Adge from the shower. "Oh no one really" she shouted back, "it was only Bob from next door asking for you". Ah great, I wanted to see him" shouted Adge. "Did he say anything about the £500 I lent him?" A Bluebird comes out on top again.
I agree,the old ones are the best ones,except for ol' Sparkey,he thinks an "all nighter" means not getting up to pee!..
I was parked up at the traffic lights this morning and mini bus full of Cardiff supporters pulled up next to me. I tried to ignore the gestures they were making in my direction, then out of nowhere a 18 wheeler crashed straight through them killing the lot. I steadied my nerves took a deep breath and though that could have been me. So this afternoon I am applying for my HGV licence.
Dai and Taffy were coming out of a pub in Bristol one evening when Dai spotted a Sheep with its head stuck in the railings. "Look at that Taffy, we cant miss a chance like that" says Dai So Dai walks up behind the sheep, drops his trousers and does this business. Dai then says "Okay Taffy its your turn next" So Taffy drops his trousers and stuck his head in the railings......
What's this obsession with our sheep fellas? I suppose a hole bored in a turnip just can't be the same. We'll keep a few spare for you on the 14th - you'll find them with their heads jammed in the railings by the CCS away entrance. Make good use of them on the way in though, you won't feel like it on the way out when you're bottom of the league. Chopra's gonna get you in your first game and earnie's gonna get you in the second.............
There is a pre season friendly arranged between Rovers and city at the mem. Pre match, Maynard comments "These sags are so sh1t, I bet I could play them on my own and win". Carey pipes up, "I bet you a tenner you wont be able to beat them on your own". Nicky takes him up on the bet, and the rest of the lads head down the pub and watch for updates on SSN. The match has barely started when "Rovers 0-1 City Maynard (2) appears on the screen. Carey says "Crikey maybe he will do it!". The scorline remains the same until the 92nd minute when rovers level it through Jo Kuffor to snatch the gas a draw. The lads head back to Nicky to find him sat in the changing room looking absoloutly gutted. "Calm down Nicky, its only a tenner" says Carey. Nicky replies, "Its not that, I got a red card in the third minute".
Look Shiney, this thread has got nothing to do with your tedious relationship with the GAStronauts - this is real cross-border stuff. Anyway, beating fourth tier teams should be a piece of cake for a Championship club like yours..........Oh, hang on a minute...........
yes but as our main rivals we still have to wind them up becasue were in a higher league than them you know what i mean dont you oh wait...... there a league above you
Yup, right enough there Shiney - in fact a league above us both. Like you with your neighbours, they're doing their best to rub it in and I don't blame them - I'm sure if the boot was on the other foot, we'd be doing the same. We'll just have to live with it and give you lot over the Bridge a good shagging instead........ Anyway, back to the thread. Will you check with Natch to see if he got that £500 I gave to his wife? Yours sincerely, Bob Banks. ...........
....are you gordons dad and I'm still awaiting responces after your defeat at the mighty Bournmouth and the struggle you had to get a draw with Yeovil..
Sorry wizey - don't quite get your drift. Remind me again about our "struggle" to get a draw with Yeovil - the team that had just beaten you 1-0 a few days before. Oh yes, and there was Torquay as well wasn't there..........................
