Last day on Arran. Views of Ailsa Craig, where the Hamilton family built a castle in the 1500s. Fancy that.

Lovely stuff.

Deep respect to the Jehovah’s Witnesses insisting on sticking to their regular patch despite the somewhat incongruous popup display that’s now backing them 🤘🦇

That would indeed be the basis of the terrorist plan, but they would not factor in the planned tear up between rival Cockney firms on the 47th floor.

This plan is obviously bullshit, but I would totally watch a Towerblockuster/Football Hooligan movie that was 50% Die Hard and 50% The Firm.

Jason Statham would be the leader of the Hooligan firm that ended up saving the day by thwarting the terrorists.

This movies absolutely must get made.

A point off the CL places, and we gave all you jokers a 4 game head start. #avfc

Fantastic performance from Villa, all over the pitch, but the best bit was Onana finally looking like a £50m footballer. #avfc

Craig Hamilton @craighamilton.bsky.social · 3d

Brilliant first half from Villa. Gutted to be missing this one, but looking good from up here in Scotland. #avfc

Craig Hamilton @craighamilton.bsky.social · 3d

Liverpool are all over the place and are getting completely out fought, all over the pitch.

Whatever Slot is doing he should do more of it, because this is really, really enjoyable to watch.

Brentford doing the Lord’s work.

Lovely stuff from Sunderland.

Craig Hamilton @craighamilton.bsky.social · 4d

Thanks very much. I hate it.

A new EP is lobbed hopefully into the howling online void today. Tracks by The Walkmen, Pixies and Electric Six are all taken out behind the barn and given a good seeing to. Available via streaming whatsits and as a CD over on Bandcamp.

Let’s have a look at this one again. And again, and then again from another angle. And then another angle. #avfc

Who decided to schedule this Spurs v Villa game at 2pm? It’s completely interrupting Sky’s extensive build up to the Liverpool v Man U game that doesn’t kick off for almost 3 hours.

Has anyone seen this dog?

If someone supports a big football team but they aren’t actually from that place, I will never fully trust them on anything and there will always be a small, irreparable hole in any respect I may subsequently develop for them.

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?
