    Council removing traffic lights

    It sounds like the Albany Road/Butts junction a year ago when the lights went out and there was a free-for-all. How no one was killed then was a miracle.

    No match report on the Coventry Telegraph website!

    The match report was in good time tonight so I was able to post a link to it. (I always give credit to the Telegraph where warranted). I post links to this forum too but not directly as it might antagonise the other site owner.

    Cov Telegraph Censorship?

    I've had comments deleted for no apparent reason. They are often humourous but in no way offensive. On the other hand I've seen comments left intact which were deliberately racist or inflammatory. Go figure?

    Prediction League Banter 2011 / 2012

    It looks as if Trond failed to forecast any results this week which leaves the rest of us in with a chance? :D

    Confirmation of why I want to get out of this place

    I made a similar observation in the Telegraph's forum once and got slated by a Green Party candidate. When confronted by several Big Issue sellers in the space of a few minutes, (my personal record is five!), what is one supposed to do? Buy one copy from the first then studiously snub the others...

    No match report on the Coventry Telegraph website!

    Thanks but in previous weeks I've usually been able to post a link on Saturday night: http://coventry.villagebuzz.co.uk/viewforum.php?f=17

    No match report on the Coventry Telegraph website!

    How long does it take them to post a simple match report? I often post a link to the Telegraph report at Coventry Villagebuzz (a site I have no formal connection with) but this weekend I'm unable to. It's bad enough having no local news reports from the Telegraph between Friday and Monday, it...

    Prediction League Banter 2011 / 2012

    That's correct. Only two weeks ago I managed to revise a prediction with just ten mins to kick-off.

    Obscure gaming thread

    No shit, I'm still playing Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds/Clone Campaigns for the PC which was released at least ten years ago! It's essentially a graphic revision of Age of Kings/The Conquerors. Here's the best bit, there's a hack available online which allows it to be played with modern...

    Bad joke corner

    A lady walks into Harrods. She looks around, spots a beautiful diamond bracelet and walks over to inspect it. As she bends over to look more closely, she unexpectedly farts. Very embarrassed, she looks around nervously to see if anyone noticed her little woops and prays that a sales person was...

    dropped external hard drive

    Everybody is different but my external drive is for backups only. If that's also the case with you then you may as well dump it now and buy a replacement as it will never be safe to make backups on it again.

    Fave Chippy in Cov

    My all-time favourite was Zuleika's Plaice in Minster Road. That has long since changed hands so for fish and chips I now visit the Spon End Fish Bar but for chicken & mushroom pie and chips I use Gill's in Broomfield Road.

    Why Are they Always Greek?

    They mostly are glorified kebab shops these days. The fish and chips are just a sideline. We're lucky to have even those. The former Greek fish and chip shop in the Butts is now a pizza parlour, the one at the western end of Spon End (opposite the Black Horse) is a Balti House and the one in...

    Why Are they Always Greek?

    It was probably to do with the influx of Greek-Cypriot refugees after Cyprus was given home rule? The ones who had worked for the British government were no longer welcome there. The Greek owners have all gone around here. They're mostly Turks or Turkish-Cypriots these days.
