Sometimes we do really simple things really, really brilliantly.

What an excellent move.

For once we are in complete agreement  ;D

If Carlsberg did football clubs .......................................

Aston Villa, Definitely the best football club in the world! (okay, so I changed one word  :) )

I like it for two reasons:

(i) excellent publicity for Villa
(ii) it'll really annoy Small Heath.

This is brilliant, coupled with the £1m donation the other day it really is great to be a Villa fan sometimes. Now let's get the fotball right and all will be good in the festive season!

It's not going to bother Small Heath fans who very likely don't know what a library is so won't have had cause to go by it.

Cue some knob head Nose and a rock or two.

I hope not - we insure the place and I have my bonus to think about!

A fine building made to look resplendent.

Well done Villa P.R.

The article on the OS mentions Villa running literacy and learning programmes in the new year so I guess we'll get those knuckledraggers au-fait with libraries before too long.
