Off to Florida in October with the missus and my two daughters and my brother is tagging along too as he's currently single and didn't have any holiday plans of his own. 

Staying just outside Kissimmee centre only about five miles from Disney.  Already paid for flights, villa and park tickets - just need to get saving about a grand to 1500 each for spends now (hoping to get some good bargains on trainers and clothes over there).

Kingston is safe enough if you know someone who can show you around.  Being a reggae DJ, I've got a lot of contacts over there and when I go with the missus shortly after yourself, in winter 2017, I'll be going to some recording studios there to get what they call "specials" or "dubplates", which is where a singer or rapper cuts a track with your own name in it bigging you up.  

The Rae Town district of Kingston has an oldies music night every Sunday night from about 9pm until the sun comes up again and many UK, US and European visitors attend that.  It's just some bloke who sets his DJ stuff up outside a bar and people dance in the street.

If you spend the entire holiday in the Sandals resort, you won't see the real Jamaica.  

If the tickets for VP aren't too expensive, that's an option for me. 

I read autobiographies/biographies, mostly of musicians and sportsmen and women.

Most recent one was a new one on Sir Tom Jones, highly recommended if you like him as it goes into a lot of depth about his life as a child and young bloke before he got famous:

Oh and I've got these too, the top one's gonna need updating soon

The latest Mungo's Hi-FI album, Serious Time,  is one of the best reggae albums of the past twenty years.

Also check out the reggae and soul podcasts from some bloke called DJ Greedy G, he's not bad  http://www.djgreedyg.podomatic.com

What's your plans?

Watching it in the pub or at home with mates?

I'm in South Yorkshire and asked on the Yorkshire Villans FB group if anyone local was watching it in the pub.

Got no replies though, guess they're all minted and off to Wembley.  Not all of us are lucky enough to be able to afford to do it.

I've been supporting the Villa for FORTY years this year since I was six years old and just wanted to watch the final alongside my fellow Villans.

But I'll be watching alone at home I guess with the missus telling me to turn the telly down etc...............

The missus and the kids are off to Orlando in the Autumn.

Me? I'm cashing my ticket in and getting a cup final ticket instead 

Grealish MOTM for me. Outstanding, his best performance so far.

Kieran Richardson's a legend, give him a new contract lol 

Grealish man of the match?

They were begging Gerrard to score there on BT, biased bastards.

FFS he's been great all night and then hits one like that............... could've been the winner that.

I'm 46 in a few weeks from now and a few stones overweight.  

I'm gonna have to avoid the rest of the season.......

TEKKERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU F**KING BEAUTY

COME ON WE CAN STILL WIN THIS.

HEART ATTACK IMMINENT LOL

We've lost a game we should have won 3-1 or 4-1.  I've supported this club for 40 years and this is right up there with the crap team of the mid to late 80s.

That's it, we're down. Useless c*nts.

Kieran Richardson should be done under the Trade Descriptions Act.  No way is he a Premier League footballer...

Joe Cole?????????? FFS

F**KING USELESS.

WE SHOULD BE WINNING THIS EASILY.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Oh, hang on............

TEKKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Going down.  As long as Randy Lerner owns this club we're doomed.
