    Photos of West terrace

    Was probably David Smith - might explain why he looked utterly devoid of energy during every match!

    That would be my assumption!

    Stevenage fined for sexist chanting

    Any prizes for guessing what they were chanting to the female assistant referee? It's particularly classy given that it was their "Women in football day" Stevenage given £5,000 Football Association fine after sexist chanting towards official

    City Centre Stabbing

    People (in general, i mean) seem to blame the police for not locking up the kids who have knives, but they can only arrest and charge them. It's the wankers in the court system who are too lenient. There was a thing on the radio last week about a woman whose daughter had died in a car crash...

    Things that annoy you

    Sorry to hear about your cat, Craig. I get anxious when ours (hasn't been with us that long) comes in having been beaten up by the local tabby! Must have been terrible to witness. The problem with microchips is that they are only any good when you get hold of them (as when your cat goes...

    No Interest Whatsoever

    Of course! It's kind of a bizarre question given that I have said i have "no interest whatsoever" in just ONE entertainment medium. It's like asking the many people on here who have said that they aren't remotely interested in cricket (for example) "Do you understand the attraction of any...

    Mad Cow Disease

    NB: There have been just two confirmed or probable cases of variant CJD in humans in the UK since 2012.

    Mad Cow Disease

    Sorry, this is utter rubbish! The amount of rainforest and other woodland cleared for the growth of coconut and banana palms, coffee and especially GRAIN crops, which are now being used more and more for biofuel (which still produces CO2 when you burn it, unlike when you eat it) than for the...

    No Interest Whatsoever

    I misread this, and thought you had no interest whatsoever in your two daughters!

    No Interest Whatsoever

    Gaming. Never understood the attraction, especially amongst supposed grown-ups, and get quite irate when people suggest that "e-sports" should be in the Olympics. And i could put betting too, but i actively despise that, and campaign against it, so I can't say that i couldn't care less about...

    Fighting discrimination through discrimination

    It was pre-internet days, Shmmeeee, so i'm not sure it would be in the archives much, but i lived there from 86 to 00, and the City Council's "PC gone mad" stance was legendary. They famously put up a "Midwinter arboreal decoration" in Town Hall Square. Known to the rest of us as a Christmas...

    Godiva

    Obviously BBC CW were praising it to the skies this morning (to justify themselves being there all weekend). But it's no surprise that the spin put on the Council's puppet mouthpiece would be positive, no matter what happened. Organisation of event? Coventry CC Security and arrangements...

    Fighting discrimination through discrimination

    I totally agree with this sentiment, Bazza. Moreover, the workplace is NOT the place to talk about your sexuality, no matter what that might be. It is IRRELEVANT as far as your work goes, and it is just a waste of time! As far as the colour debate goes, i saw the [black] comedian Reginald D...

    Old expressions your parents/grandparents used

    I heard a plausible story that it started out as a Stratford saying (and now in more common use - as most idioms are, for no apparent reason). "Bill's mother" was Mary Arden, who famously lived at Wilmcote, to the west of Stratford (i.e. the prevailing wind direction). So if the skies were dark...

    Old expressions your parents/grandparents used

    I heard a relatively young person use this term not so long ago, but my parents used it all the time. And the "n****r in the woodpile" - still no clue where that one comes from!

    Women's World Cup 2019

    Just watched the ENG-SWE 3rd place play-off, and holy shit, if those are the third and fourth best teams in the WORLD, i won't be watching for another 10 years until the women's game gets better. The quality of football was atrocious! There is no way we'd put up with that if the Sky Blues played...

    Rules you would change

    If there’s clear space between the last defender and the attacker they’re offside. If any part of the body, leg, arm, etc is still in line, they’re on. Easy!
