Blades fans in Rodrigues?

[FMBlade1]

Hi guys, MASSIVE Blades fan in Rodrigues, Indian Ocean:

Was wondering if there are any fellow Blades there in bars etc so can watch the Blackpool and QPR games?

Cheers x



(p.s. in all seriousness, which Blades fan can make the claim of going to the most remote part of the world?)

I was once wearing my Blades gear (under a few layers!) In Listvyanka.

Listvyanka is on the western shore of Lake Baikal, in dark cold Siberia.

Not saying that can't be topped, but nonetheless pretty remote.

My personal shout would be Guam, but you can bet there's a few blades that have been stationed out in Antarctica or something

Mauritius for me, not the most remote but looks close to Rodrigues on the map

Stuck on Mare Tranquillitatis at the moment. Any pubs here showing the Blackpool game? Preferably with a bit of atmosphere?

Don't think electric-trickery has reached Lincolnshire yet has it.

We have running water though - it's called the Trent.

Currently with Tom on Mars. Just took this pic of him. I'm in the Jeep thingy.

Wait a minute ... that flag's not flying right. I'm calling fake.

Sheffield 6. I went for a pint in The Shakespeare. Neanderthal man was alive and much in evidence in there.

Is Gaini short for Gainsborough?!

Seeing as this thread looks like SEB's holiday album, here's one of me in the Republic of Kiribati a few years ago. I've lost a bit of weight since then mind you!

It is indeed.

I have a work colleague who calls it that.

 

[Sportbilly /Detroit Blade]

It is indeed.

I think the last time I was in Gainsborough was when I went on a school trip to Gainsborough Old Hall in about 1986 !

Actually that's a lie as I had an interview at the Ping factory sometime in the late 90s!

It's a lot better since the highwaymen were removed from the Ramper Road recently.

I guess you venture into Lincoln if you need anything "big", as opposed to Scunny?!

Lincoln is a bit more upmarket with all those posh coffee shops on steep hill.

In Scunny you know when you're in the posh part as you might see a lady with her tattoos spelt correctly.

Don't venture into Scummy unless I want a dose of the clap. I work in Lincoln so I'm there once in a while.

Come off it Scunny and Gainsborough must be about the same on the clapometer?!

THANK YOU. Can't believe it took as many as 13 replies to reach this point!

Nowhere particularly remote, but the ifollow coverage often used to feel like I was.
