    Things That Don't Annoy You :-)

    I struggle with the self service checkouts at supermarkets. Something always goes wrong with scanning, bagging or needing assistance and it all ends up taking twice as long as it should. So in the spirit of the thread, checkouts staffed by human beings do not annoy me at all.

    Clean Sheet Statistic

    Think that's what I was trying to say WM :)

    Clean Sheet Statistic

    Stats can be selected to shape any argument. I could point out that in our most successful season 1969-70 when we finished 6th in the old First Division, only 58 goals were scored over 42 league games. We also had 15 clean sheets but neither stat proves anything. You still need to score one more...

    Things that annoy you

    The words 'analysing' and 'analyst' in themselves create a frothy moment for me Wingy. Fed up to the back teeth with these so-called experts droning on to justify their continued employment, seemingly intent on being the main story themselves rather than the story they are describing.

    Match Thread Luton Town - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 28th Oct

    Maybe Haynes is an option for us against teams who park the bus, either on the overlap for Jones as with the first goal, or getting to the bye line and crossing the ball low into the box as he did against Gillingham in the first game back at the Ricoh. Not really had that option this season.

    Same year as me but don't recall him especially, just a name amongst many.

    Whilst on the South Coast last week, we spotted a Wimpy and decided to try it out for old times sake. Thought the name disappeared years ago. It was like travelling back in time, even with the Bender in a Bun...and not a McAnything in sight. Staff were very pleasant, more mature and very...

    More basic than that Otis, it's the McVegan served with a vegan McFeast sauce.

    And don't forget the vegan burger they are currently trialling....can you guess what it's called?

    Coventry RFC Thread 18/19

    Trusting your maths here as the BBC website still only shows half the results let alone any league tables. Think we will need as much of a points buffer as possible for the very tough schedule from late November until early January. Not that any cracks are beginning to show....long may that be...

    Good to know SB but not much use after the event :-) Car park was close to where we needed to be so just drove in. It was virtually full so a good revenue generator for someone. Didn't spoil a good day out in a thriving city.

    £20.50 for 4 hours NCP parking in the middle of Brighton today. Daylight robbery.

    Welease Bwian!

    Not quite as impressive but had an enjoyable afternoon watching the swell at the entrance to Littlehampton harbour/marina. Also quite a bit of shingle thrown up onto the prom at Bognor.

    Where have you been?

    Wasn't the actor who played Doberman the voice of Benny the cat? Used to enjoy watching both programmes.

    Phone in Tonight - Potentially something "big"

    Well if he is any good we wont really know. Reckon he has a better hand than the other player though.

    Showing my age here but Ernie Bilko is a cultural icon

    Phone in Tonight - Potentially something "big"

    Maybe Mark Hornsby is a poker player and his cards close to his chest?

    We have just booked our appointment for the next parents evening during the first week in November. It is all been done on one evening and appointments are for 10 minutes duration. There are 28 children in the class, so if everything runs on time it is nearly 5 hours straight through for the one...

    Wish they were away permanently. Anyway on a point of order, I thought this thread was for winning teams??

    Only in North Yorkshire.

    I wonder if it was the same village where many years ago, long before sat nav, a stranger to the the area stopped a passer by and asked him 'excuse me, how do you get to Sainsburys?'. 'My brother takes me' was the reply. Nowt as queer as folk.
