Jonny ,
You dont just go for a beer with the Captain . It's more of a Wearing a beer with the Captain . Especially at Cup Games.

Regards , EW

Its going to take you a long time, doesn't the MX5 go from Birmingham to Bristol ?.

Good Evening Brian , always nice to see you , hope to bump into some time during or before the Cup Game , as a Benter you are not really a Wiganer , so i excuse you .

.

Did you hear about the Wigan lad who thought Genitalia was an Italian airline

Or the Wiganer , who thought the Taj Mahal was an Indian Curry house on Poolstock Lane





.

Or the two Leyth lads on a night out in Barbarellas. They spied a couple of young ladies, but a mate warned them off by telling them that the girls were lesbians. Undeterred, the lads walked over with their best chat up line "Where abouts in Lesbania do you live"?

Keep the clean ones flying ........

Yes pure genius

In a recent interview, writers and producers Matthew Graham & Tony Jordan expressed their disappointment at having 'looked over' Leigh as a suitable setting for their hugely successful BBC TV drama 'Life on Mars' starring John Simm and Phillip Glennister set in 1973.

Although successful, the drama overspent considerably and Jordan claimed 'Looking back we could have saved millions setting the show in Leigh, savings would have been made within the props and costume departments'.

"We spent needlessly when the authenticity that we were looking for was already available and on show in Leigh" Jordan added with regret.

Belter.

Three Wigan Lads walking home after a night out in town take a shortcut through a graveyard. First lad trips up over a gravestone and says '' that fella was 73 years old when he died....!" "Blimey" said the second lad, just as he himself tripped and fell. "This fella was 97 when he passed away and his name was John Smith", "Blimey" says third lad, just as he himself goes flying over another gravestone, "This fella was 157...!" What was his name ask the other two simultaneously..?" He bends down, striking a match in the gloom to see the name on the stone, rising slowly he says..... " His name was Miles……………….. from Newcastle."

What day is the game

Friday

Haven't seen it myself, but been told its been confirmed for Friday 19th at 8pm.

Good evening Charlie, sorry to be late answering your post, I myself will be catching the train from Atherton so there is a chance Salford lad will be on the same train,
What worries me if perchance there is a bar on the train we will not get off before Southport which is the end of the line.

We have a winner!

Some of the comments from the leythers (01942, WN7) on here are comedy gold. Next time you get paid, if you work, no doubt it's at the British heart foundation or a butchers stall (because that's all there is in Leigh) just remember, all that HARD EARNED TAX is going towards our lovely new shopping centre to replace the galleries. But don't ever say we don't give you anything, last year, we donated wigans Christmas lights from 1976 to you and even let you have your very own nandos!!!

You never told me you work on a butchers stall.

Bless, hasn't got the hang of this has he.

Nice!

Most of your fans have been a great laugh with the banter, then there's the odd few who don't get it and are extremely defensive and have this odd superiority complex.

Very odd behaviour.

He doesnt , hes the one playing the flute on Bradshawgate



.

In fairness though it IS justified

Don't think you'll find any Leyther singing the praises of our retail prowess, but in comparison to Manchester, where we all shop-especially Harvey Nichs- Wigan has the same problems.

Marsh Green makes Higher Fold look like Knightsbridge

Neither have you if you think my post was serious, you obviously haven't read the other thread on the same subject have you?

Bless
