    So out of touch with Premier leagure football now

    Hold up a mo, if you don't like football what on earth are you doing following Coventry Cit.... ah, actually, now I come to think about it... :)

    High Mileage Diesel

    Needs to be grey, or flat blue if one of the really, really old square ones. With a dog guard and a Labrador in the back, and a holder for your hat. That's what proper Volvos look like. :)

    High Mileage Diesel

    If you're driving a Volvo Estate then the odds are that you're approaching the age when the next step in life is a hearse. :)

    Just run in at 240k mate, I bet that was because you were caning it every time you borrowed it! :)

    You can take a horse to water, but a pencil has to be lead.

    C'mon mate, I know it's fun to wind up Italia :) but you're not really telling me that there's an equivalence between how refs are treated by players in rugby and in football on the back of that bit of research? Again, genuine question, name another sport where officials are expected to...

    You could be right mate, it's not an unfair point, but even watching from the stands these days it seems like every decision is met with some kind of obvious dissent, and any big decision results in a crowd scene around the ref. And some of the diving these days just seems flat out ridiculous...

    I know where you're coming from, but in reality rugby's a pretty broad church. There are plenty of working class players mixing it up out there too. I think the difference is in the culture of the game and what's accepted and expected. Disregarding rugby for a moment, name another sport where...

    Wasps current finances & hope

    I agree football's certainly gone soft in terms of the wimping around, faking injuries and diving etc.. However the behaviour towards refs and linesmen is worse now than I can ever remember it. I'd be embarassed if my four-year old threw tantrums like players (and some managers) do nowadays...

    Love snow

    No pension for me, sadly, I was merely a temp/contractor at Rover, Jaguar, and then Jaguar Land Rover. Back in the day I thought everyone in Coventry worked for one of those, or if you were unskilled, Chrysler/Talbot/Peugeot. :) I know people who worked at the same desk for four or possibly...

    It's a shame your thought processes aren't as clear as your conscience. Clearly the fact that CCFC will never own the Ricoh has an absolutely massive impact on the club. With regard to CRFC they're doing pretty well and looking very good for promotion this year. I wonder how much better they...

    Love snow

    With all due respect HH (i.e. not wanting to get laid out) ;) imho whilst they probably were underrated, there's no way a Frontera would be as good off-road as a Land Rover product of any given era. I suspect either a difference in tyres or in driver ability/confidence, possibly both! I used...

    Nomadic my arse. Surely we've done all this before!

    Mediator appointed..

    I don't think it matters what SISU say in the accounts, at least as far as the mediation process goes. You could flip this around and actually see it as good news. Any side who are seen by the judge as not doing their best to work towards some kind of solution, are likely to get short shrift...

    Any runners out there that use smart technology?

    Runkeeper and Share My Run are a couple of apps I've heard of, but I think there might be others you can use these days too. Good luck on the run mate. :)

    2-year old killed in hit-and-run, McDonald Road

    I'd have to say that I'm not in favour of a zero limit. I don't see the harm in a pint at lunchtime, for instance, and driving afterwards. I don't do it often, but I have and I will again. I've done a lot of miles over the years, used to get paid to drive back in the day, and biggest danger I...

    High Mileage Diesel

    That's OK, I can't normally tell whether the Audi driver behind me has their foglights or main beam on because they're always right under my bumper. Usually they're so close that I can smell the driver's aftershave! Grrrrrrrrrrr..... ;)

    Cov City Fans Jailed

    I think that's about the truth of it Moff, but for me these are some of the worst kinds of offences - unprovoked violence against a total stranger. If we aren't putting people away who are doing this, then with the biggest prison population per capita in Europe, who exactly are we locking up...

    Cov City Fans Jailed

    Good idea, a bit more like this... Nick as Hannibal, HH as Mr T (obviously), and I think that means I get to be the good-looking one who gets the girl. :) Can anyone here fly a helicopter?
