Random Stuff!

[58terminus]

C'mon 58, are you seriously saying that Birmingham is alone in doing such things ?? Every city around the world is looking to impress when it hosts a big international event and Brum is no different.

Brum is financially broke mate. Somebody is going to have to pay and it ain't going to be the visitors.

The last time I saw a working fountain was when it was contaminated with fast food debris, fag ends and beer cans. Maybe times have changed and people have more respect but I have doubts but the budget should concentrate upon venues, hotels and getting the basics sorted before tarting up the stuff that should already be good for visitors to the city.

We need the fountain. The video below is why.

There are lots and lots of people in this country who are broke, it doesn’t mean you can’t treat yourself once in a while.

Yes it will be us the taxpayers of Birmingham who will pay, and ?

I will also pay by spending two weeks in the city attending the games with so much pride.

Just when you thought I'd disappeared I'm back to post a couple of photos of the model airliner collection! Few new ones in there including some rarities like the JAT DC9 which was the first aircraft I'd flown on since the sixties when I flew to from Birmingham to Pula in the late 80s . Another extremely rare one is the Lufthansa 737/100 one of which I saw at Birmingham as a diversion in 1978.View attachment 15255View attachment 15256

I was looking through YouTube this evening and was recommended a video by X-Check, reviewing ATC in the new Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. Isn't that the BHX tower that the youtuber has used as the header for their video?

BrumX, I'm pretty sure it's not a scrrenshot from the sim but good to see a photo of BHX used.

So sorry to hear the loss of Ron Saunders. He brought the very best from a legendary Villa side and manages the Blues to boot. A fantastic manager and a true gent.

We KRO on for you Ron. Rest in peace.

Sad to hear that Jim Smith has passed away, so soon after losing Ron Saunders too

Went on annual pilgrimage by LNWR to London for drinks with ex workmates. Noticed at all stations we stopped, including Watford, West Midlands Trains signage saying Direct Services to Birmingham Airport, or words to that effect.

Blues are drawn away in the F.A. Cup 4th round to either Coventry City or Bristol Rovers so if it ends up being Coventry Blues will be away at their own home ground?

You can always rely on them to be different.
