Cocktail umbrellas are, in my experience, far more dangerous than regulation umbrellas.

Not in China they aren't.

Umbrellas are recycled over there and when it rains - and I mean real Asian rain, not that poncey drizzle we get in England - women appear out of nowhere like the shopkeeper in Mr Benn, flogging umbrellas, both telescopic and the full golfing version. These often have holes in the fabric and exposed prongs so the average Chinese citizen has a legal and lethal weapon with which to gouge the eyes of somebody approximately 6 inches taller.

Dr Tony will understand this.

You're making me nostalgic for getting my eye poked out Paul!

Our Tone tweeted pics of him giving shirts to Clancy and Rice (BCC leader and Lord Mayor) today. I know Clancy's a Villa fan, not sure about the mayor. Opening talks about buying Aston in its entirety no doubt.

I am a fan of Big Tone and fans of other clubs have praised his presence on Twitter to me, been impressed so far.

A sub editor would be nice, the Savile stuff and even that odd tribute to Dalian yesterday are things we could have done without.

But you take the rough with the smooth. Better that than Lord Lucan Lerner.

What went on with the tribute? I must have missed that.

I like that he has been sending messages of encouragement to the players. The other day it was Jack. Today to Tshibola. Simple words not to give up and keep fighting.

I reckon it's Peter Schmeical, in a Claret & Blue Mini.
