Would a bit of of claret and sky blue not improve the overall image here?

 

[Ray Finkle]

Just so there is no prejudice

Thanks Ray. Very fair-minded which, as a neutral in the Birmingham football scene, I applaud.

Im not a football fan at all, however whilst walking through town today i noticed the AVFC shop on New Street has closed down, things must be bad.

Maybe they should replace it with a WBAFC shop, our only West Midlands Premier league representation.

Ray, merely in the interests of fair play, a footie shirt with vertical blue and white stripes would please us Baggies fans. And remember, if what locals say is true, the Birmingham city boundary runs down the centre of the pitch at the Hawthorns -- so it could be said we are legitimately the third Birmingham club. And, i forgot, the only one in the Premiership....

How could I forget The Baggies?

I think adding blue & white stripes is far beyond my editing capabilities, it took me long enough to work out how to change the colour

To make up for it you can have two images

If anyone on this forum is unsure

Maybe should have put this in video thread, but don't know why it IS a video.

I'm sure most people will remember that Virgin Atlantic advert from a few years ago.......

...I came across this parody for Best Western Hotels. Maybe it's just my sense of humour but I found it quite funny

Arsenal playing their usual trick against Bayern Munich at the moment. They now have a lot to do to get beyond this round...........but they never do.

Obviously it's only a prediction but lets hope that it's accurate.

BIRMINGHAM IS SET TO DEFY THE ODDS, SAYS JLL

http://www.bqlive.co.uk/property/2017/02/01/news/birmingham-is-set-to-defy-the-odds-says-jll-8597/

He said: "The city is looking very attractive with investment yields well ahead of most comparable cities within Europe including Barcelona, Cologne and Milan and growth in residential sales values are set to outperform London and the national average."

Ian Cornock, JLL's lead director in the Midlands reiterated this point, saying Birmingham was now being heard by government and had become very visible on the world stage.

"We've invested in our city's infrastructure and amenities and as a result have seen a lot of overseas attention which we expect to continue in 2017, particularly from the Chinese.

The second phase of the Left Bank development has been recommended for approval.

The article suggests it will be 'Birmingham's tallest residential tower'. I'm assuming that they mean purely residential as I don't believe this will be as tall as the Holloway Circus building, which of course houses a hotel?

I guess that the current tallest residential buildings are also at Holloway Circus.These are pretty tall but not pretty.
