  1. 12 hours before that picture was taken he was hanging off the back of a hotel room door with an apple in his gob.
  2. I've lived in Germany, Holland and Canada, and within England I've lived in Surrey, St Albans, Stratford-upon-Avon, Birmingham, Cheshire, Manchester and Lancashire. I've met some wonderful people over the years, many of whom have themselves moved on to far-flung places like Cape Town, LA, Nottingham Without FB, I'd have lost contact with lots of people who I really like. It would just be impossible to keep up with their lives if I was reliant on email, phone calls or worse - letters.
  3. If we're looking for bright sides, we'll be able to play Leicester again next season.
  4. I work from home and I'm still embarrassed to walk into the office tomorrow.
  5. At Christmas, my brother-in-law bought me a selection of craft beers. They were nice, but a couple of them looked a bit strong so they've just been sitting there. I'm now sitting here with a pint of beer that's 10% abv. Villa have done this to me.
  6. Probably depends on the 5 figure number written above the dotted line.
  7. When was the last time you enjoyed watching Villa for 90 minutes?
  8. Been excited about this match all week. Might turn it over and watch QVC.
  9. Liking the look of Amavi and Green so far, athletically, and stylistically -
  10. He's just completed his medical at Burnley.
  11. Agree - let's hope that's the case. But I chose Birmingham as it's home to many of us, and if Islamic terror is such a threat why are we all still ok? I could have chosen Warrington, Manchester, Belfast. It wasn't exactly an isolated incident. We could go off topic debating the religiousness of loyalists and republicans, but it's easy to point to the Orange marches or confession to show that religion has a role within it. Anyway, back to America...
  12. Almost certainly, I'd say. A good few years back I read the memoirs of Sean O'Callaghan - "The Informer". He talked about how he grew up in the deep south of Ireland and truly believed in "the cause", but as he rose up through the ranks he found that much of what the IRA were supposedly against, as a Catholic organisation, was actually their raison d'etre. Prostitution, drug running, arms dealing. It was this that prompted him to become an informant - he felt betrayed and tricked. I'd be shocked if ISIS, Boko Haram, etc aren't exactly the same. Populist with a hidden agenda. Like Trump.
  13. I don't think 9/11 was specifically targeted at Christians. The pub bombings were carried out by a group who identified themselves as Catholics fighting against loyalist Protestants.
  14. Trainspotting 2 has a handy reference to the fact this lot is still rife. As if we didn't know!
  15. The Birmingham pub bombings in 1974, which killed 21 people and injured 182.
  16. Here's a commemoration of 21 innocent people killed by Christian extremists in Birmingham - I can't find anything commemorating the victims of Muslim extremism in our home city.
