Pope to drive past Villa Park
« on: September 19, 2010, 12:57:36 PM »
My Mate reckons the pope is heading off to Oscott College this afternoon. If he heads down the Walsall road and takes a right up College Road do you reckon there's any chance of him sprinkling some of his holy stuff out of the left hand side window to blow over Villa Park?

Do helicopters have windows you can wind down?

I'm afraid my knowledge of helicopters is restricted to Airwolf.

Well I know Villa Park is a great place but I can't (and don't want to) imagine the Pope having a wank over it out of a helicopter window.

Maybe he's in one of those open doors type helicopters - Apocalypse Now style...

 I was at the Mcdonalds on the College Rd getting a drive thru, & had to wait for the Popes cavalcade to pass, There was a serious amount of security as well as uniformed types.
 Does anyone know if the Popes visit was the reason that West Mids Police let Albion /Small Heath play @ 3pm on a Sat, as they couldn,t police to "big events" on a Sunday?
I,ve had to go from Sutton to Harborne & back to day, & never seen so many police out & about

He came by car, seems my pontiff ITK was a little off-message. I took the kids up the road to see him, they were very excited, not as excited as when they went to see Peppa Pig mind.
