Car Transporter

[Farnboroughblade]

Coming off the M3 into Farnborough a couple of weeks ago, I noticed a car transporter coming in the opposite direction probably coming out of Blackbushe Car Auctions. It was just turning dark and what stood out was a large illuminated Sheffield United badge at the back of his cab. Now this may seem trivial to many, but when you live in exile, seeing something like that makes you bloody proud to be a Blade. If the driver of the said vehicle visits this site and reads this, then 'well done' sir, it looked bloody brilliant.

Red Volvo going on to m62 westbound from M1 7am this morning?

Yep, I think that's the one.

Hi Farnborough - small world as I’ve worked there on and off over the last 3 years on the Aerospace Business Park and am currently waiting to hear about a contract for another Farnborough company.

I go into the Business Park regularly. Farnborough is bit of a soulless place. Would prefer to live near the 'Lane' any day. Lived here for over 20 years, let me know if there's anything I can help you with if you get the contract.

I've seen that around there, as a regular visitor to Farnborough - the Aerospace Business Park

WTF is wrong with you? The requirement on seeing another blade in 'foreign' parts is to shout "UP THE BLADES!". You should have turned around, followed him, motioned for him to wind down the window and shouted it!

That's the problem with people these days. No bloody manners!

I completely get this. There was a guy going into Waterloo in one of the Shoreham St Magnifique tee shirts the other day, made my day it did.

Shoreham St Magnifique

Great song - "............and where the wens-day-ites lay dead at our feet"

must have been early 70's, but perhaps earlier - anyone?

Deffo earlier!
Certainly remember it around 67-69 time.

I saw a car at Harlech beach last week with a blades sticker on and I wanted to leave a note with ‘na, na, na, na he’s a blade and and he’s a blade’ under the wiper for them to find but our lass initially looked at me as if I was weird. Later on though she said ‘you’d love that if someone did that to you, wouldn’t you? You should do it’. Alas I had no paper.

I do like seeing blades in strange places though.

I sing this on a daily basis to the pigs at work, they aren't keen on the dead bit

 

[BigBed]

I keep seeing a silver landrover direcovery, a grey focus st and a white bmw X1 with blades badges on the windscreens, every time I look through the window in a morning

 

[HighfieldBlade]

I have it on good authority that a coach with 'Sheffield United FC' livery is being used by Kent County Cricket Club. We must've sold to them but they haven't got round to respraying it yet.

In Spain 2 weeks ago, driving out of Moraira and i saw a van with a big Blades sticker in the side window. Nearly ran the poor fucker off the road trying to get his attention!! Our lass went ape shit

 

[Northyorksblade]

Was in Santander yesterday in Harrogate and one of the staff came up to me and said, 'Best game I've ever seen Saturday'. I thought he was a mind reader until I remembered the Blades baseball cap I was wearing. Didn't have time for a proper chat as he was taking a customer into a side room.
Going to the game Saturday and there was a 5UFC car in front on the A1 at Wetherby.

Well, it certainly trumps wearing a Blades football shirt on holiday. I must say, I know what you mean. I think our team bus looks great with that huge silver Blades badge on it. Looks classy actually. It's a great logo imo. Far better than a cartoon picture of a nocturnal bird imo.

I shall keep my eyes peeled for said transporter when in the "M3" area - which I am most weeks. Although not in Farnborough per se, but very close by. If you see me, give me a wave. But I don't have a huge Blades badge on my car, so you might not recognise me.

There's a car down here with both a pig badge and a Blades badge in the back window.

It gets a fat ignoring to, simply because having the pig badge makes it soiled.

Have the shop stopped selling the proper round stickers? I don't want to use Amazon, as you'll either get one in blue or it will say 'SHEfILD UNTED 1998' on it.

Still comes out on a London Away Day.

The pinnacle is “I’m a Rambler”. A full pub singing that down a London Bridge backstreet is Blades Utopia!

Just doesn’t make sense. Having a Blade badge and a badge of the porcine infidels?!

I don't get it either. It's either one of those families where a Blade has has some sort of 'arranged marriage' to a grunt and there's some or other contract to have both stickers up (and thereby, negating any allegiance) or their marriage is completely dead and barren and she (or he) have lost their minds and gone over to the dark side.

Can you imagine, let's say, pulling Nicole Scherzinger and then using her bathroom the next morning and discovering she has a pig toothbrush? Long shot I know (her having a pig toothbrush, like) but ... imagine the dilemma?

See, there's another one.

She peels it all off, bronzed, toned, lean frame and all the equipment required for a spot of high intensity counterpane hurdling, and it turns out she has a pigtat on, or around her undermeats or on her clonks?

What to do?

We should start a twitter/fake news campaign the Scherzinger is a pig fan. See how far it gets. Bet any money there's a hefty swathe of Unitedites who'll instantly boycott Muller Lite and shitloads of pigfans who'll suddenly like the Pussycat Dolls' music.

the evidence is there 'don'tcha wish your striker was hot like Rhodes......' can't believe I missed it

You are absolutely correct, it was down at Essex a couple of months back. Amazed it didn't get bricked by the locals given it was a T20 night and most of those who attend are gormless spammers. I think they use the same travel company as opposed to selling the bus.

 

[metalblade]

Yes the Blades coach comes from down south I have seen it coming up the A1 before away games a few times . Our old team coach went on to take Barnsley and Chessie on tgeir travels.

I'm 55 shortly, bald and not very rich so I had to stop at "pulling".

No, they had some in last week.

How come this post has gone from a Car Transporter to having sex with Nicole Scherzinger within 25 threads!!!
