Remember sitting outside The Jolly Colliers drinking Vimto while the old man tucked away a couple of pints!! Can also remember watching the construction of the M6 by the side of The Jolly Colliers in about 1968ish.

Should never have hired Jim Smith. An act of utter desperation from a Chairman who didn't have a clue!!

Was that Bobby Parker at the back? Whatever happened to him? Remeber him being touted round as the next Bobby Moore!!! Fantastic memories!!!

Think someone got on stage when Tom Petty was there but could be mistaken.

That sounds right, it would have been the Black Rose tour the second time I saw them. Am sure the first time in 1977 they recorded the video for 'Don't Believe a Word' at Cov Theatre.

Thin Lizzy at Cov Theatre twice. First time was about 1977 and they had a band called Clover as support. They were Shite!!!!! Had Huey Lewis as their front man I think. Second time was about 1079 I reckon. Joe Jackson at Cov Theatre about 1978. Excellent night. Tom Petty and the...

JR.............when does the physio start?

Still don't see how that team went down!!

It does depend on the subject being studied. She needs to check out what kind of reputation Coventry University has for teaching history. Opinions will differ, but it will make a big difference when she comes to getting a job in the future. Employers take these things into account. Get her to...

When my kid were growing up we had a collie retiever cross. He was fantastic with the kids and great company. He was also very useful as he would bark at anyone who so much as looked at the front door, but was smart enough to know when to pack it in. Very inteligent, loyal and a fantastic family...

Have never understood how this bar has ben allowed to operate such an arbitary door policy over the years!! It's basically, "If we don't like the look of you for what ever reason, you ain't coming in". Only in Coventry would such an attitude from a bar owner be tolerated. Would this be accepted...

What was the punishment when Alan 'saint' Shearer kicked someone,quite deliberately, in the head while they sat on the ground? That was utterly dispicable, but as he was an England international at the time it was all glossed over. Double standards from the...

Suspect we are still paying off several ex managers. Heard last week that we are still paying Strachan!!!!!

A lad at work is a Villa fan. Really upset him today when I said in a nice loud voice, "I think the Villa are too good to go down". Accused me of tempting fate.:laugh:

Brian Roberts. Danny Thomas Paul Dyson

Sad to say, but the city centre is a shit hole. The Burges looks absolutely awful, really tatty. It's such a shame, it could be so much better. It looks like a street that the council has forgotten all about. Remember how it was in the 70's and 80's, a lot nicer than it is now. Very upsetting!!

Am sad to admit it but have not been up for a while. Can't stand the thought of giving any more money to SISU, knowing full well they are running the club into the ground. They are just bleeding us dry!! Don't know what the answer is, but as an individual, I won't throw more good money after...

Not Bablake, I ain't made of money!!!!! It was Finham, which we were reliably told was one of the best state schools in Coventry at the time. Not so sure myself. Have since been told that the Headmaster has a similar attitude to Dyslexia, therefore nothing gets done. Breathtaking really!! Bit...

Exactly right Otis, she was very good at maths but couldn't even begin to get her head around languages. At the time I put it down to lack of effort on her part. Have since heard that one very prominent school in Coventry does not even rocognise it as a condition!!

My daughter was dignosed with dyslexia not long after she started University. It was spotted by one of her mates who had a bit of knowledge about the subject who suggested she get tested. Turned out it was quite profound, and the report that went with the diagnosis said that over the years she...
