    The windmill in soon street

    It's the Old Windmill. The Windmill was in what is now known as Upper Spon Street and was demolished in 1970 to allow the school to be expanded. Likewise there was a Dyers Arms and an Old Dyers Arms, the latter of which still survives.

    An English national anthem.

    Not for long though, a majority in Northern Ireland want to change it: http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/54-say-ditch-god-save-the-queen-for-northern-ireland-sporting-events-34377456.html

    Bolton Wanderers

    Building a huge new stadium eight-miles outside of town probably didn't help much.

    Film Thread 2015

    Just watched The Last Witch Hunter, it's the kind of film you expect Nicholas Cage to be playing the lead in rather than Vin Diesel. I got the impression it was shot for the new 4K UHD Blu-ray release because apart from the visual effects it had very little else to commend it. The sound mix was...

    Antisocial Neighbours

    They can still harass you even after they've been evicted, they just get their ASBO friends in the area to act on their behalf. It's almost impossible to prove who's behind it and the police aren't about to devote huge resources to finding out. I also know of Whitefriars tenants who've...

    Antisocial Neighbours

    In most case there are just two options: 1) Begin a feud that will last for years and even if you eventually win the misery endured in the meantime won't have been worth it. 2) Move.

    What rubbish! According to that logic Geoffrey Robinson can't have sex with anyone in North West Coventry. Hardly, I'm not now or ever have been a supporter of the Labour Party or the loony left. And while a girl over 16 can consent to sex, a dead pig certainly can't.

    Why is it? She was over the age of consent and in no way related to him or in a position of control by him. I suppose you think everyone my age should restrict themselves to geriatric partners.

    Indeed, the man of a thousand accents. I actually fell off the sofa laughing when the French invaded in WW2 landing craft and were met by kids riding shetland ponies. I half-expected to see Daleks rolling off the landing craft and Spitfires flying overhead as well. In fairness though, it still...

    A "dog's dinner" you might say. Ant-Man was a waste of time as well, it's put me off watching anything by Marvel. It's like watching the same superhero movie over and over again just with a different name.
