  1. Hi General. Happy 4th july, have ou own celebrations today with my sons 16th birthday Been lurking for a while reading this thread, but as i had nothing to add i've stayed silent till now, but now I've made my appearence I'd first like to say I hope your enjoying the Villa ride, and the more pessistantly extreme elements of our support are not cuasing too much frustration. My question is regading the Holte Hotel when it is opened, I guess as things stand its a free house. What are the plans regarding the manangment of the Hotle Hotel? is it going to be managed inhouse, handed over to a management team with the ability to run all aspects as they seem fit, are the club looking to do a tie in with a brewery in some way (I think traditionally it has links with M&B, but Ansells would provide a similar local link, even though its no longer brewed in Aston) or will full control of what beers they sell be maintained, enabling them to exploit the ability to have guest beers etc.
  2. my music folder is on shuffle, "of montreal" by the stills has just started, so if i'd have done this post a minute earlier it would have been "don't take my sunshine away" by sparklehorse
  3. After a little thought on this matter I've made a decision today, that I think I'm going to take up smoking after a lifetime of being a non smoker, but only on work days and when its nice out, i quite fancy a nice 10 minute break in the sun every hour, so i've had a quick about turn on my opinion on this matter, hurrah for the smoking ban.
  4. I've got a few mixed feelings on this and i'm a non smoker and always have been, and yes i've experienced the anti social behavour of some smokers, but somehow this legislation doesnt quite sit right with me.
  5. I'd put wolves then west brom closely behind, then miles behind cov and blues with walsall bringing up the rear.
  6. will it hell, i'd be surprised if it was anything but solid mahognay with gold handles, after all ellis has never had a problem spending his earnings (for want of a better word) or the clubs money on the best for himself, i half expect a sealed glass coffin, displayed prominantly somewhere within the ground.
  7. strangely i think i would. not sure why, cause i think the usual weirdos and brain deads they have in there would drive me totally fruitcake in no time at all. I wouldnt enjoy some of the skeletons that may come out in the press, and fame (or rather infamy) doesnt interest me, not that i think i'm worthy of more than a footnote for longer than i would last, but i think it would be something to do jsut for the hell of it.
  8. oh and old crest as mentioned before, the one you'll find on the 57 replica shirt, you used to see it on a wonderful stand that some egotistical pants pisser ripped done and replaced with the B&Q superstore stand
  9. I seem to recall something about this (that Villa did adopt the City of Brum arms) at some stage, but I've got a feeling that happened late in the 1880s and was a brief appearance. As stated earlier, the Villa lion was almost certainly present beforehand, and afterwards of course. Just curious about this, what year did Aston become part of Birmingham. wasnt Aston brought under birmingham control in 1911, so why would they bear the city of birmingham crest in the 1880's
  10. well we would be most unfortunate to get another egotistic useless pants pisser in, who insists on doing everything at the club (no matter how badly), or employing his own personal botty lickers to agree with him, so maybe not.
  11. err yes, it was. but like ian, can't find anything on a paul vidmar!!
  12. a friend of mine was telling me that our average finish in the prem is 6th... he was shocked.. I think this a confusion of facts, our average league finish in the prem is around 8th, but I'm sure we have the 6th highest points total in the premier league though (based on total points accumulated over the lifespan of the league).
  13. THE RIGHT SIDE Now let that be the end of it
