Usual Suspects. Not a really old film,but usually watch it at least once a year.

3 bars is what I was told to check for when buying. Like I said check out 'Which' magazine and see what they are saying.

Got a Kitchenaid coffee machine about 6 years ago after a visit to Oz. Mate out there advised that if buying a machine you needed to check that it was rated at 3 bars (whatever this means). The Kitchenaid was expensive but worth every penny. Superb coffee every time. Get my coffe online from a...

"My wicked wicked ways" by Errol Flynn. Couldn't put it down.

Been there quite a few times on a Saturday night for a meal and a few pints. Always found the food to be good and the staff friendly and helpful. Good selection of aleas as well.

Did one a couple of years ago round the Med on P&O. Very well organised but the internet connection was shite!!! Went when the kids were at school so we didnt have the problem of hoardes of uncontrolled kids running round. My only other gripe was that you dont get enough time ashore to really...

I remember the original Miners Arms getting pulled down and the one that is in the picture getting built. Could be wrong but i reckon it was around the same time as the M6 was being put through just up the road.

Sorry to take it off topic but can still remember where I was when I heard John Lennon had been shot. Can still remember the bloke that told me too!!

I seem to remember a guy who i worked with who was called Botterill. I know he lived down Windmill Road and am pretty sure his dad used to be a butcher. By the time I knew him I think the shop had closed and they were living in it. He got his dad an ex company van as well if I remeber correctly...

Fantastic picture Houch............that really brings back some memories. Seem to remember that the one that came out in the lower ground floor of Owen Owens had light brown tiles on the walls. They all seemed to disappear one day!!!!

Love the pictures Houh, really brings back some memories. Remeber going swimming on a Saturday at the baths and either going to Fishy Moores or the cafe in Pool Meadow afterwards. Does anyone else remeber the underpasses that used to be all around Coventry. Am sure one of them used to come up...

Earlsdon is a pretty good place to live, although there are far more students about thanks to the expansion of Cov Uni. Plenty of decent places to eat and drink and only a ten minute walk to Chapelfields if you want more traditional pubs. Memorial park is just around the corner as is the train...

Hello Al and welcome. I don't usually post and tend only to come on here to see who Grendal is winding up. Been to Melbs many times and have to say wandering around Fitzroy on a sunny afternoon sinking a few cold ones has got to be one of the most pleasurable experiences life can give a man...

House of Cards has got to be one of the best things I have ever watched on TV. Kevin Spacey steals just about every scene he is in. Could not stop watching it. Started watchin Sons of Anarchy but the plot lines got sillier and sillier as it went along to the point that it lost credability...

Really good article about our plight under SISU in The Guardian/Observer written by Daniel Taylor. Worht a read but almost brought tears to my eyes!!

Met him on several occasions. A really nice bloke, true gent. Condolances to his family.

Have done shifts myself many years ago and it nearly killed me. The only thing that kept me sane was the ability to go out and sink a couple of pints when the occasional opportunity arose. Initially the wife didnt get it, thought I was being a miserable git, but explained that just a couple of...

They used to have their own pubs as well. The Attleborough Arms in Nuneaton and the Market Tavern in Bedworth were both Davenports pubs.

Even remeber that as he sung the song the words appeared on the screen with a little pointer to the words so you could sing along. "Beer at home means Davenports!!"

Remeber it well. My Granny used to have a crate of Davenports every week. Still got one of the pld wooden crates in the shed. Reckon the old bloke who used to say "cheers" at the end of the advert was Mr Davenport himself............well according to my Granny it was!!
