  1. Miss all the not rights off here as well. But i also wonder how many have asked for a refund. And how many will renew next season. Fingers crossed all this shit storm goes away .
  2. 6am alarm, first train out of Howfen. Or Mini buzz to Piccadilly. Bacon barm - 7.35 rattler- losing at cards. Euston station - Walk to Spoons - Breakfast and a pint - Walk / Tube to various pubs. Sod the itinery . Late getting in ground. Half time - hugs and nods . Checking watch . Walking away - get in pub. 3 pints later looking for positive points. Back to Euston. Crash out . Piccadilly - Home. God i miss it !! And every other not right that does it with me. Those i know and the well known faces we all see throughout the seasons.
  3. Woah hang on , weeks ago a few of us started to go the hotel on matchdays . Around 6 of us ; usually turning up for the second half ( bit like London away days). Plenty of room , table service . Ok we have to shout at each other but it is putting cash into the hotel. Took advantage of the buy one get one half price meal deals. Bumped elbows with Shazza n Emma. No riff raff. Hope last night was a success , Ashburner St and Mr Smith went ( seperate tables ) . I know Miss Speak ( yes please , cracking rack). Asked where the rest of us were . But will get full report on the evening later today. Remember every bit helps the club at the moment. COYWM
  4. You must have spent years stalking me. Bloody uncanny
  5. Bon - at free trade hall mc/r 1978/79. Fantastic gig. Our kid still has his ticket
  6. Went to Burnley , 2 weeks ago. Had a wander round for 2 hrs . Market - roughly 10% occupancy. ( did buy a Disturbed woolly hat) Visited 2 record shops absolute shite ( we are so lucky to have Xrecords). Did pick up a copy of Going for The One . £5.50 . Big Primarni - was 100% better than our Muslim sweat shop. Rest of the town centre reminded me of Harwood Shopping Centre before it was levelled, or Walkden which needs levelling. Worst town centre ever is of course Worksop . Those who were there now. Beltin Trackside Bar though. Best social town centre right Now . Westhoughton !!!
  7. Due to its complexity , so far it has not been performed at a gig. Hopefully one day. God i am missing gigs.
  8. Arm chair - led football clubs. And if nothing else comes of this current shit storm . I cannot stand watching BWFC on ifollow. Would rather spend £150 on a 18hr day out to London , Birmingham or Rochdale to witness the Wanderers lose . Than spend a tenner and watch them win away on tele.
  9. " empire of the clouds " Sums it up perfectly. Listen and learn. Nowt to do with Wigan . But a fantastic description of the worlds biggest airship. And its all true. Checks out historically.
  10. One of the faces from the 70's , 80,s . Always a loner . 100% Bolton though , home and away. Some bottle though never went under the radar.
  11. What pisses me right off is the downright number fiddling going on. Theres no way London Boroughs can have such low figures. Loads of places now have long since passed the point where Bolton hospitality was locked down. Another one will kill off numerous small bars and restaurants. All i ask is for a level playing field. Yes i know , its a bloody impossible job at the moment and Labour are so pleased they lost last year But all this smoke n mirrors and hindsight bollocks is doing my box in.
  12. Ran into our Shazza , Emma and Ian Evatt at tea time yesterday. Shazza - said she now realises how small her tele is in her front room , compared to everones on Wanderers Ways. Emma said things will work out Reet. Ian said " 35 thousand people on a Saturday but no one allowed in the stadium is so wrong" Plus he will get it right on the pitch. At 7pm KD turned up ,had a photo with Ashburner St and then went to meet Jussi in Fannys. Had a meeting booked today with Stellios.!!! All the above is 100% true. Photo evidence available on tw$ter
  13. You have enough on ya plate. There is a local firm that will fit a ladder and board it out for you. May be called loft n ladders. Did mine whilst i was at work. Neat job . No mess. Reasonable
  14. Whats in ya morning brew ? Vodka !!
  15. Just about to listen to it. Ta for the heads up
  16. You had to bring Tenerife into it. I am missing that place. The SAX bar at 10.30 any night of the week. Heaven on earth . Live rock music , tasty beer and barmaids.
  17. Made the charts for 7 weeks. Highest 14. Was the second single to chart. The B side was better about a pigeon in Trafalger Square. Incidently from memory i would have thought " long haired lover from Liverpool " would have been your choice😭
  18. Its a good idea and i would go along with it. But take into consideration . Not every one could stay at home. Carers , Hospital staff , Police . Are we also going to shut all food factorys and storage warehouses ? 7 days notice would be needed. In that time all shop purchases would need to be rationed. Would we put military on the streets ? I for one could do it. Binge listen to numerous albums and watch Sharpe . Anyone else up for it ?
  19. Sound of Silence - whilst stood in 1ft of mud on that slope at Download , was a thing of beauty . Even the bloody rain stopped after battering it down for 3 days. Yes i agree not their strongest song . But it is moving .
