A serious preview. I am going down to this game and will be visiting some of my old haunts from some years ago when I spent 3 years in this lovely city.
I hope to see Rovers back on their winning ways with and a one match winning streak. At late notice I went to Rotherham last Saturday and we were woeful. It was a poorly set up team yet again playing the sort of football the players clearly feel uncomfortable with; why oh why do we play this suicidal passing game at the back?
I am desperate for JDT, Greg B and his legions of new support staff to do well. But as they say in the Crown Court “the jury is out”. In my opinion the jury is well and truly out and we are in need of some good results to save JDT from wrath of the boo boys. I realise we are 5th and still in the play-off places but quite frankly the football has been appalling with at best 3 good displays all season: Blackpool away; Swansea away and Watford home.
So in brief: “pull your socks up JDT” and “do some business in the transfer market GB” - if he thought George Hirst was the answer then good help us!!
So what of the fair city of Bristol? It has some beautiful architecture, and also some of the roughest estates in Europe. It is a city of culture and yet it is inhabited by some of the most left wing smelliest individuals I have ever set eye on, or have sadly come within smelling distance off. I have no problem with radicals and reformers but Bristol has more than its fair share of Extinction Rebellion and tree hugging oiks. They are as mad as hatters.

Bristol is renowned for some strange stories, and this is one of my favourite true tales…..
Alfred the Gorilla arrived at Bristol Zoo in 1930 and soon became an animal celebrity. His fame grew to international proportions during World War II, and after his death, he remained an important mascot for Bristol.
Following his passing, Alfred was mounted by taxidermists and was taken to Bristol City Museum for public display.
He still resides in a glass case, but for a short time in 1956, he went missing. The kidnapping sparked a public outcry.
Police scoured the university for Alfred, and even threatened to press charges, but they couldn’t find him. A few days later, Donald Boulton, a caretaker at Bristol’s University’s student health service, had the shock of his life when he entered the patient’s waiting room and was faced with the stuffed gorilla, which had been left in the centre of the room.
This was a mystery until 2010, when estate agent Mr. Morgan, died at the age of 79 and a family secret involving him and two university friends was revealed: they had stolen Alfred!
Finally revealing the secret they had to keep for over 50 years, along with a collection of photographs kept as a record, Mr. Morgan’s friends and family revealed that the gorilla was stolen as a prank between him and two friends for University Rag Week. They kept him in hiding for a few days, posing with the animal and dressing him up for pictures. They were reluctant to admit their thievery in case they were prosecuted.

If you catch a bus in Bristol may I suggest you take some toilet roll with you. It is not to wipe your bus seat or the hand rail but to wipe your very own bot bot; wet wipes are not allowed and on the spot checks take place
A bio-bus fueled by human and household waste operates a 15-mile route four days a week between Bath and Bristol.
Bristol’s ‘Poo Buses’ went into regular service 25th March 2015. Powered by biomethane gas, the bus uses waste from more than 32,000 houses.
Operated by First West of England, the bus fills up at a site in Avonmouth, where the sewage and inedible waste is turned into gas.
The bus, which can seat up to 40 people, was unveiled in Autumn 2015.
The reason it only runs 4 days a week is due to a shortage of ‘soil collectors’. Bristol Council are trying to recruit additional staff. Apparently Burnley Council are planning a similar initative and it will be a 24/7 bus service given the amount of shit available across their town.

I do not have a clue as to the result. I would be better off trying to predict how many times Prince Harry has had sex in a field. But go on then…………
I predict a 4-3 victory to the Rovers
I will finish with a bit of smut. Guess which is BB and ‘Blue‘ Kate; and which is Prince ‘Stag’ Harry and his older bit of stuff?

I will give you a clue. Prince Harry is the ginger haired rampant stag.
Love, BB
