Twinning success
Just spotted that the fooball team from Bolton's twin town Paderborn will make their debut in the Bundesliga next season.
Re: Twinning success
They'll probably enjoy a relegation battle, just like us!
Re: Twinning success

The above post is complete bollox/garbage/nonsense, please point this out to me at any and every occasion possible.

Re: Twinning success
Horwich is twinned with Crowborough, Daniel!
Bolton is twinned with Paderborn in Germany and Le Mans in France. Hence the naming of Paderborn House and Le Mans Crescent in Bolton town centre.

Re: Twinning success
Nobody mentioned OUR football team. Vertigo said, 'the football team from Bolton's twin town Paderborn'.

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Re: Twinning success
Crowborough's where Arthur Conan Doyle used to live. I remember driving through it past a pub called The Deerstalker. Unimaginative dimwits.
May the bridges I burn light your way

Alimentary, my dear Flotsam.

How do you know that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle didn't get the idea for Sherlock's hat from seeing the pub?!Bruce Rioja wrote:Crowborough's where Arthur Conan Doyle used to live. I remember driving through it past a pub called The Deerstalker. Unimaginative dimwits.

Sherlock Holmes (according to something I read last week) never wore a Deerstalker in the books.
Holmes was first seen wearing a deerstalker in Sidney Paget's illustration in The Boscombe Valley Mystery, although Sir Arthur Conan Doyle never wrote Holmes as wearing one specifically, though he did describe him as wearing a "close-fitting cloth cap" and in Silver Blaze as wearing "his ear-flapped travelling cap". The idea of Holmes wearing the countryside hat in his city-based stories, as many have depicted, is unlikely, as Holmes is known to be fashionably aware and would never commit such a fashion faux pas.

1) Well, if he was really fashionable he might have been a trendsetter.
2) It's all made up and doesn't matter anyway.
I used to think Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was black because when I was about 9 years old I had a copy of The Hound of the Baskerville's and it had a foreword written by Trevor McDonald. I just assumed the picture included was of the author.
