Hi from California
Hi Guys,
Happened upon the site while Googling for a decent image of one of the old club badges to get a tattoo of - apparently I'm not the only one who doesn't want ribbons. I'm 35, originally from Devon, now living in California. Dad's side of the family is all from Lancashire though, and most are Bolton fans. I used to see more of Bolton at Torquay/Exeter than at Burnden Park as a kid, but nowadays I try to get to the Reebok anytime I'm in the country.
All the best, Justin
PS. I still haven't found an image for the tattoo, I know it's been asked in other threads, but any help would be much appreciated.

There's a badge set shown here which, when enlarged, gives a reasonable image. Not that I'm encouraging tattoo's, mind !!

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

Well, Bruno, he may live further away from LA than you do from any town in the UK - so he may have to rely on the same sources you do. Qui le sait.Bruno wrote:I've heard LA is a right shit hole, is that true?

Or, living in the same state as LA he might be an occasional visitor and so will have an opinion on the topic - how about we just let him speak?Montreal Wanderer wrote:Well, Bruno, he may live further away from LA than you do from any town in the UK - so he may have to rely on the same sources you do.

Thanks for the help I'm living in Oakland right now, and work just across the bay in San Francisco. I get down to LA once or twice a year as well. I have a few friends down there who are great, but personally I'm not a big fan of the city - the six-hour road trip isn't much fun either.bobo the clown wrote:Welcome. Whereabouts in Ca. ?

San Francisco is a great city and I love the coast north of it (all the way to Canada) and south to Monterey. Never been to LA though, so have no opinion.William the White wrote:Paid a trip to Oakland to catch the A's a goodly time ago on a nice three week tour of the state.

On the west coast of N.A. there is kind of a subculture that includes N. California, Oregon, Washington State and B.C.. L.A. and S. California is excluded along with Alaska.
