It was rather busy at the bar, so I chickened out and went for the budvar lager. Nice place, bit hipster. Highlight easily being the nice young lady in the cut off denim shorts that was directly in my eye line. Have now found a comfy chair in the old joint stock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you know me... I'm all about the hipster vibe Old Joint Stock - love that place. What a building. Back when banks were grand old places... like the Cosy Club, Lost and Found and the Apple Store. What's the plan for tonight? Bar hopping or setting root where you are? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Worked today, and will be at the hospital tomorrow. My mums appendix has burst. Monday, try and do the garden. P.S **** off Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted August 25, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 25, 2018 Just for completion for the many left wondering, we followed lost & found with a pint in the Victoria before catching the train. There was a lovely young lady sat on the other aisle of the train from me, I attempted my Fassbender on the subway in “Shame” gaze to seal the deal, but alas she elected to get off the train at the stop prior to mine. Ending the night in a local watering hole, before retiring for the night. Stay tuned for next weekend’s exciting instalment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played basketball, studied and caught up on some sleep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 Grateful of the extra day off tomorrow. Work is ok at the moment but just going through that stage where its boring me a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekka Posted August 31, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 31, 2018 I now have 10 days off work. It was a bit of a mad panic today trying to get everything tidied away but I think I managed it. I now have my folks hopefully turning up on Sunday (with the (very) old, but big motorhome) and then we're hopefully heading west (The New Forest, followed by Corfe Castle and surrounding areas). Tomorrow will be mostly spent cleaning up the flat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tegis Posted August 31, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 31, 2018 Daughter is progressing in the regional championship tryouts as goalie to represent the Skåne County in Handball. New cuts tomorrow. I'm absolutely bricking it. NFL roster-cuts have nothing on this 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted September 1, 2018 Author Share Posted September 1, 2018 Went out last night for a beer or two... number of people had been made redundant so was seeing then off. Still feel a bit drunk now! Today will be a lazy one, might go back to bed in a minute then off to parents for dinner later. Sunday - usual chores in the morning but then need to check out hotels in Saigon and Hong Kong and maybe get them booked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leemond2008 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Looking forward to my weekend I'm actually being sociable tonight and going to watch the league of gentlemen after work at the NIA, few beers before, get some tins on the way home and order a curry when I'm on the bus on my way home. Tomorrow - watch the villa get beat then I'll be staying up till the early hours of Sunday morning to watch the GGG v Canelo card live. Sunday get my head down for a few hours, wander round like a zombie and then watch the F1 (Singapore I believe) then I'll fall into a dark depression as Sunday evening draws to a close and I'm faced with the prospect of another Monday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 My pre-season kicks off on Monday and I am playing for another professional contract, something I am grateful for. I will be returning to my boyhood club and where I spent my early 20's before falling out with the head coach in oddly what was quite an amicable way where both of us respected each other, he just gradually stopped playing me even though I was our top scorer for lengthy periods over two seasons. I had to pull out of a coaching role which he had to pick up the slack for the reason for what happened and my exclusion from the mens team. New coach now and new beginnings, the club I have spent my recent years with have given me permission to train with boyhood club, who are now a division higher than the other. So I will just be preparing for Monday and getting some university work out the way, doing some reading, hopefully getting an Aston Villa stream working and if I have time I will volunteer with the homeless, but I am not on the roster for that this weekend. Tonight I was with a group of friends and we went for dinner, had some great discussion. It's a wonderful thing having people around you who add meaning to your life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted September 21, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted September 21, 2018 So anyone up to much? Fatherly duties for me, will see my daughter for the first time in five days. Doesn’t sound like a lot, but it’s been her longest time away for a couple of years. Will try and keep in touch with the game via you guys in the match thread. So fairly quiet for me. I’ve set the bar fairly low for you there chaps.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Birthday weekend. Birmingham clue Hq escape room, followed by Tandoori mix grill @Hen and Chickens (I’m sure @mottaloo and @Xela would appreciate that). Followed by pub craw round JQ. Probably find the AJ fight somewhere if can still see by then. Sunday, wallow in self pity 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
