The sacred colours around the world

[AV82EC]

It's only a short step from there to My Old Man, which you can threateningly leave lingering in the air like a three day loaf after too many trips to the carvery. No-one wants to get to the second line of that outside the stadium, do they?

I had it in my wedding vows.

Vicar: "Paddy, I want you to say after me, "I said bollocks.""

Paddy: "I said bollocks"

Vicar: "Mrs Paddy, now say after me, "You're a c*nt.""

Mrs Paddy (turns to face Paddy): "You're a c*nt."

Exactly how it happened.

This made me laugh…..a lot.

I'm glad.

The credit must go to the comedic titan that is Paddy.

Does Scotland count? In the queue for coffee at the Landmark Centre nr Aviemore and encountered a family of Villans (cazoo top). Opening gambit - as always with me - is to sing "Every week we follow..." and see if they join in.

The Dad did, kids looked extremely embarrassed, as well they might.

Then from the kitchen behind the serveover came a strongly Scots accented "We've got McGinn".

Magic 👍

Brilliant. I do quite a bit of work in south Derby and see loads to villa tops around, the most my UTV’s get is the occasional smile, don’t think I’d I have the courage for a full on “every week we follow”!

I start ever so gently and with raised eyebrows, like a chorister about to start singing the descant in Once In Royal David's City, then ramp up the volume when they join in. If they don't I just keep going and force them to out of sheer embarrassment (for me, obvs). By the time we get to the "Allez Allez" everyone's smiling.*

* Except for the genuinely miserable sods who don't. Few and far between though.

I'd leave you hanging like a plucked pheasant.  No way I'm joining in a chant outside the stadium or a packed pub.  You'll get a nod and a mumbled UTV from me and that's yer lot.

Entirely fair Chris. But you haven't experienced my choirboy chops. You wouldn't be able to help yourself.

Not really related as it's all in jest, but I happened to be sat in the same train carriage as Lee about a year or so ago (until I was asked to leave).

He had a Villa pen & pad combo, which looked pretty worn, and a classic claret & blue striped scarf in his pocket.

The Latin Lions recently organised a reunion for Italian and English Villa fans at, appropriately, the villa of one of their members not far from Padua
