Something completely different

A new feature on This Is Bristol is 'Friday fun', an idle glance at some light-hearted findings on the wonderful world of the internet which may or may not have any connection with Bristol.

The product of being placed in front of the world's most effective communication device and being expected to ignore it is too much for some at Evening Post HQ and so in this weekly article we will endeavour to share some of the fruits of our browsing.

Why work when you can be distracted by:

A musical tribute to former Bristol Rovers striker Bobby Zamora. He may not have played a full 90 minutes for the Pirates first-team but he notched 90 goals in 117 starts for Brighton before breaking into the Premier League with Spurs, West Ham, and now Fulham, incurring some £6.4million in transfer fees in the process. That's something to sing about.

The marvellous archive of football trickery on YouTube, even if it has been ever so slighty computer assisted:





News of Bristol City's connection with Kenya's bid to qualify for their first World Cup finals. The fact they need to top a group containing Nigeria with its wealth of Premier League stars appears not to phase a former player from Ashton Gate. And he's sharpening up his new charges with a friendly match against Iran.

And finally, Bristol Rugby may have that sinking feeling as they fall away from the rest of the Guinness Premiership, but they are yet to plumb these depths...
