My accent has grown stronger down here and I find myself purposely talking with more Boltonian slang me owd cocker (just for the look of "WTF did he just say?" on their faces). Bolton to the core - so much so they gave me this nickname down here. They tell me I never shut up about Bolton but I can't see it myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Alf Hartigan Posted December 14, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted December 14, 2020 Must admit, the older I get, the more I want to speak with a Bolton accent. That lad Neil, on Bolton FM on matchdays makes me think though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I always looked out for hibs results as a kid growing up. Most of my mates are hearts fans tbf and I do nowadays probably go to more hearts games than hibs, mainly always just for the carry on. Ive got a season ticket at Livingston now so spend more time watching them Than any other Scottish club and enjoy a day out there (albeit not this season!) with that affiliation developing due to my last job where I was at all the home games as we were sponsors so I was responsible for entertaining clients and just liked the feel of the club it’s a proper community set up.

Site Supporter Steejay Posted December 14, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted December 14, 2020 Fook me, I got a job teaching English at a school in Malibu in the 80’s. Thick fuckers couldn’t understand me at all. 18 doesn’t have a ‘d’ in it. Butter doesn’t have a ‘d’ in it. I didn’t last long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep (Aye), fair play to Livvy. They’ve done well over the last few years building a club with all the competition around. Helps give the community a sense of pride. 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youri McAnespie Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 The Pubs - The Whites - Burnden... My first game against the vermin there at the Reebok (missed Everton). Helicopters buzzing around. And hatred. The pure hate on Black Sunday. Scrumpy in The Man and Scythe Barred from the pub about 11 times. Rice and Three. Bella Pizza.

Well location-wise, I think where the old Water Place was would be ideal. Built of double-ply imported Persian sandstone bricks, with the cavities chock full of pig heads and gammon slices. The size of a football pitch, with a green dome large enough to house a score of elephants. Topped off with a crescent moon made of pure gold. 4 minarets, one at each corner made of ornate marble inscribed with the teachings of the Prophet (PBUH). Each minaret must have a PA output loud enough to reach the outer edges of the BL postcodes so that the Call to Prayer can be heard by the faithful across the borough. Double parking will be permissible on all routes and the Head Imam, the top dude, will have all his sermons preceded by a fanfare of car horns. No infidels.

Bolton is different to it's neighbours, I like the local humour, my Birth Certificate states Haslam Maternity Home and I have "Made in Bolton" tattooed on my belly button 🙂 My brother was born there. Perhaps you remember him, his name is Graham. He was very small, with a bright red face. He looked like Winston Churchill. He's not changed much to be honest. I'm posher than him, I was born at Heaton Grange. We were both born within the sound of the Town Hall clock and can claim full Boltonian status.

Youri McAnespie Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) My dream mosque? I reckon on the old Arndale site. A lifesize statue of Abu Hamza - 8 minuretes, and footwashing facilities where the (knocked down) cenotaph was.

Return the budgie cages but just have them as a stoning facility for frisky Muslim ladies who’ve been caught at scout road chippy having forbidden sausage suppers.
