Mr Stan Drews's definitions
1. Large Roman house usually found in bits under a farmers field. Usually accompanied by an 'artists impression' of how amazing a few dug up stones looked in 100AD.
2. Laughable football team from the really-shite side of Birmingham. Over inflated sense of self worth after a donkey called Peter Withe scuffed in a lucky goal in 1982. Supported by idiots and glory-hunters from the whole of the West Midlands who have no sense of irony and genuinely believe they are a 'sleeping giant'. Were allegedly a top team during the era of silent films. Weirdly, also supported by ex-Etonians (incl. Cameron, Johnson and the Prince of Wales) who can't of ever have been to Aston and who clearly have a thing about fading Victorian institutions.
