    FA Cup Semi final - gaps at Wembley

    Distinctly lacking atmosphere though. Need to move semis back to neutral big grounds and keep Wembley special for the final

    Cllr GGeorge Duggins

    To be fair to Cllr Duggins, the application for Woodlands (has a kind of a ring about it, don't you think?) or anywhere else, and pre-application advice would all have been handled by the planning officers. The councillors only get to see it when it goes to Planning Committee, and then for...

    New Statement from SISU re. Council

    But at least we can all be closet Worcester Warriors fans for the day - they are fighting for their Premiership survival too, and if that was at the Wycombe Insects' expense, i'd be extremely happy!!

    Woodlands

    There are literally hundreds of very similar school buildings of that style all over the country, so there is no merit in listing all (or any) of them. But judging by its vintage, it would cost a fortune to remove all the asbestos from it when they knock it down!

    Woodlands

    Was just saying it needs to be taken into consideration when planning. Shitty or not shitty, if it's listed it is regarded as being important. Lower Precinct is listed, IIRC!

    Woodlands

    A new building in close proximity to a listed building must not adversely affect the character, appearance or setting of the listed building

    Woodlands

    I didn't know Gary Ridley was a Woodlands Ward councillor. As leader of the Tory opposition group on CCC, he has been co-signing most of the press releases along with Duggins. Unusual to have consensus across the party divide, so i wonder if he has known about the impact on his ward for some...

    The 'Very obvious' hot babes thread!

    Ditto Hannah Waddingham (Shame, Shame nun). They're just not my type, but i recognise that many of you won't agree!

    The 'Very obvious' hot babes thread!

    Extraordinarily symmetrical face, but i'm afraid she doesn't do it for me.

    Woodlands

    Coventry City Council Planning Committee "Agenda item 1: So we've had a MasterPlan submitted about building a 20,000-seater football stadium on the site of the former Woodlands School on Broad Lane". "Who's sent that in then?" "A company called SISU Capital Ltd" "Tell them to do one" "Next item ..."

    James Corden

    His wife is rather lovely so he must be doing something right!! Jack Black is another ugly fucker but he got to play the romantic lead opposite Gwyneth Paltrow in Shallow Hal. Corden is just bitter!

    Things that annoy you

    Think it's called "up-cycling" - the otherwise-fine Kirstie Allsopp is the queen of this, especially for Xmas decorations and presents. Absolute shite!

    Line of Duty

    I thought the female Supt character was pretty weak, and the Slater gang a bit "Sweeney", but so far, so good.

    "The whole public sector needs an overhaul", you said. But all of the points you make here are spot on.

    James Corden

    James Corden says 'chubby' actors are shut out of romantic roles (BBC News) Is it because he's "chubby" - or just a talentless, annoying twat?!

    I think that's how they tackled it in Brum recently, wasn't it? Get a city-wide Section 60 order. They did Operation Sceptre in Cov too, blitzing Hillfields for a week.

    Matchday parking

    Whatever that patch of common is called between longford road and the canal, then - Sowe Valley Way??? Something like that !

    Matchday parking

    I started using it (the parking, not the word!) ages ago when you could cut through the building site at the top end (which was used as a matchday car park by the entrepreneurial landowner - but you could walk through for 50p) onto the canal towpath and up to the bridge near those flats then...
