Ashley article nothing new to CovLive article except "Judge me by my skill not my colour" comment. Pure Ash.

The Donkeys want to add Alex King to their coaching team. Apparently he is unattached.

I've always referred to them as the turnip-counters on account of there being not much else to do in their part of the world.

Gloucester is in England where it's a swede. However in the USA it's a rutabaga :o

According to my Pirates friends the Donkeys are in the Midlands.
Rutabaga used to be an ingredient in HP Sauce.

That's not true. There are many popular past times in Gloucester which a good chunk of the people I worked with there got up to, such as taking drugs, blackmailing drug dealers into giving you cheap drugs, fighting in the street, trying to burn buildings down, drink driving, betting on whether people considering jumping off multistorey car parks will jump or not, adultery and breeding like rabbits.

And don't get me started on the service users.

Turnip counters? Is that not overly complementary? After all, that would suggest an ability to count.

Well if they came from the Forest of Dean, they would get confused as they had six fingers and toes.

Gloucester is there I had the most surreal discussion with a steward prior to the start of the match.

We were there early so it was quite quiet, and in amongst the discussion about the match and the fact we live in Coventry he mentioned he had been to Solihull, to buy a cow. Followed by, here is a picture of me with my cow.

I'm surprised the tractor could find its way to Solihull.

I hope you lot are not going to get started on Herefordshire.

That's just above London - right?

No  -  left.
Title: Re: TRP
Post by: St Bruno on July 23, 2020, 03:19:04 PM
Should that be - none left?
Title: Re: TRP
Post by: WonkyWasp on July 23, 2020, 03:38:12 PM
No.  Tho' to be honest there weren't  that many to begin with. 
Title: Re: TRP
Post by: St Bruno on July 23, 2020, 04:04:24 PM
Even fewer now, then.
Title: Re: TRP
Post by: Neils on July 23, 2020, 04:24:14 PM
Are you sure it is not right?
Title: Re: TRP
Post by: WonkyWasp on July 23, 2020, 05:01:48 PM
Middling sure.  It could have up and left, of course.
Title: Re: TRP
Post by: St Bruno on July 23, 2020, 05:04:41 PM
Well, on the balance of probabilities, taking all things into consideration and in the fullness of time, it is likely that the answer may be Yes. On the other hand.......

So right is right!
Title: Re: TRP
Post by: WonkyWasp on July 23, 2020, 07:02:21 PM
So it appears, but was anything  left out?  That's not right.
Title: Re: TRP
Post by: St Bruno on July 25, 2020, 11:31:22 AM
Of course, if that doesn't work, you can always poke it down with a stick.
Title: Re: TRP
Post by: WonkyWasp on July 25, 2020, 11:45:38 AM
But then it might go back up and exit left.  Or right.  Right?
Title: Re: TRP

No - down the centre!
Title: Re: TRP

Follow your nose and you'll be all right and not left.

PS>  HerTfordshire  IS on the  right - tho as far as I'm concerned it's not right  because HerEfordshire is on the left - which IS right ... as  far as I'm concerned.   Right?!

Post by: Neils on July 25, 2020, 06:39:30 PM
TE as in Awrence?

From where I sit one is on the left and one on the right. Right is beyond the donkeys and close to the sheep people.

Post by: WonkyWasp on July 25, 2020, 07:29:48 PM
Spot on - 10 out of 10.  We are the cow people, next to the sheep. Thank you Neils and St. Bruno et al for such a clever, enjoyable thread! You are very witty.  I wish I was even half as quick. Diolch.
