Villa Get Randy
As an Englishman, I am obliged to be amused by ‘double entendre’ and therefore, the ‘Carry On..’ series of films. In actual fact, I’m not really a fan of those films but I do, like any other citizen of Albion, still giggle like a 12-year-old at sexual innuendo!
To get to the point: there were a few interesting articles on the takeover of Aston Villa by US businessman Randy Lerner in this morning’s Times, but I have to highlight the following introduction to a piece by Patrick Kidd:
WITH a name that makes him sound like a character to be played by Sid James in Carry On Driving School, Randy Lerner is bound to become the subject of a few imaginative chants from the Villa Park faithful.
Thank you Patrick. Mr. Lerner’s name was amusing enough beforehand; now, I’m not going to be able to see or hear it without thinking of Sid James‘ wonderful “mwah-hah-hah-hah-hah” laughter!
