PHILINFRANCE Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 As I suggested earlier, the quote in James Clavell's novel would have been in the 1970s so I assumed that D&C would have 'cribbed' from this. It now seems it might have been the reverse. My apologies, by the way - I seem to have an awful (and unintended) habit of hijacking threads with my trivia!

Rudolf Hucker Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I have a 'disposable' email address which I have used over the years only to receive any and all communications BCFC related. This includes season tickets, OTIB etc. I've had this same email address for well over ten years. Today at 12.28pm, for the very first time ever, I received an email to that address containing the Bristol Rovers Weekly Newsletter. Am I alone in suddenly receiving this? Suddenly, I don't want to look in my inbox because I feel that its integrity has been defiled. Has Bristol Sport been hacked? Is it WikiLeaks? Is it Russia? Is it the Jordanian Secret Service?

I’ve nothing against your right leg. ......trouble is neither have you. (one legged man auditions for Hamlet) One of my favourite sketches of all time. One leg to few as it was known and it was Tarzan not Hamlet. Peter I noticed that, Mr. Spiggott. When you have been in the business as long as I have you come to notice these things almost instinctively. Now, Mr. Spiggott, you, a one-legged man, are applying for the role of Tarzan - a role which, traditionally, involves the use of a two-legged actor. Dudley Correct. Peter And yet you, a unidexter, are applying for the role. Dudley Right. Peter A role for which two legs would seem to be the minimum requirement. Dudley Very true. Peter Well, Mr. Spiggott, need I point out to you where your deficiency lies as regards landing the role? Dudley Yes, I think you ought to. Peter Need I say without overmuch emphasis that it is in the leg division that you are deficient. Dudley The leg division? Peter Yes, the leg division, Mr. Spiggott. You are deficient in it to the tune of one. Your right leg I like. I like your right leg. A lovely leg for the role. That's what I said when I saw you come in. I said "A lovely leg for the role." I've got nothing against your right leg. The trouble is - neither have you. You fall down on your left. Dudley You mean it's inadequate? Peter Yes, it's inadequate, Mr. Spiggott. And, to my mind, the British public is not ready for the sight of a one-legged apeman swinging through the jungly tendrils. Dudley I see. Peter However, don't despair. After all, you score over a man with no legs at all. Should a legless man come in here demanding the role, I should have no hesitation in saying "Get out.

I wonder who they are playing today? (fingers crossed) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_players_with_the_most_goals_in_an_association_football_game#England That Tranny v Oldham game; as you'll see was at Christmas. In the return game either the day before or after, Oldham beat Tranmere 4-1 Both games were in the 35-36 season and at holiday periods; TR v OA - Christmas and the Luton game at Easter.My Dad once told me that following a 8-3 home defeat, Rovers asked the Bus company to reroute, or renumber, the number 83 service from passing Eastville. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need a bigger ground, you know. Build it and they won't come (well it was a nice day, wasn't it?)

JBFC II Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 They had a party on their Matchday thread at us dropping to 11th, the same 11th in the championship that they haven't reached in nearly 60 years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
