    Coventry city centre

    Tend to agree with you about Sainsburys, but remember hearing at the time the council offered Sainsburys several different sites around the city centre which they turned down. When the council mentioned compulsory purchase Sainsburys made it clear they would fight it all the way through the...

    What are you currently listening to?

    Sorry to take so long to get back to you Torch, had a look and it isn't on there. There is a fantastic version of 'Sing' which I think was done by Travis, a couple from Tom Petty, Times Like These' by Davd Grohl et al, a fantastic version of 'All I Want is You' U2, but the best track of all for...

    NHS malware attack

    No doubt Nissan have cleared it up a damn sight quicker than a lot of the Hospitals have, so they may very well have had better more secure systems..................probably put in place by the SAS!!!!!!

    NHS malware attack

    Speaking as someone who works in the NHS, this is just symptomatic of the whole organisation. The IT systems that I have encountered are really quite poor compared with systems used by social services. Not at all suprised something like this has happened, was just a matter of time before it...

    Coffee Machines

    3 bars is what I was told to check for when buying. Like I said check out 'Which' magazine and see what they are saying.

    Coffee Machines

    Got a Kitchenaid coffee machine about 6 years ago after a visit to Oz. Mate out there advised that if buying a machine you needed to check that it was rated at 3 bars (whatever this means). The Kitchenaid was expensive but worth every penny. Superb coffee every time. Get my coffe online from a...

    The Greyhound - Sutton Stop, Cov

    Been there quite a few times on a Saturday night for a meal and a few pints. Always found the food to be good and the staff friendly and helpful. Good selection of aleas as well.

    Cruising the Med

    Did one a couple of years ago round the Med on P&O. Very well organised but the internet connection was shite!!! Went when the kids were at school so we didnt have the problem of hoardes of uncontrolled kids running round. My only other gripe was that you dont get enough time ashore to really...

    Pictures of Cov in the past and Coventry Pubs

    I remember the original Miners Arms getting pulled down and the one that is in the picture getting built. Could be wrong but i reckon it was around the same time as the M6 was being put through just up the road.

    Pictures of Cov in the past and Coventry Pubs

    I seem to remember a guy who i worked with who was called Botterill. I know he lived down Windmill Road and am pretty sure his dad used to be a butcher. By the time I knew him I think the shop had closed and they were living in it. He got his dad an ex company van as well if I remeber correctly...

    Fantastic picture Houch............that really brings back some memories. Seem to remember that the one that came out in the lower ground floor of Owen Owens had light brown tiles on the walls. They all seemed to disappear one day!!!!

    Pictures of Cov in the past and Coventry Pubs

    Love the pictures Houh, really brings back some memories. Remeber going swimming on a Saturday at the baths and either going to Fishy Moores or the cafe in Pool Meadow afterwards. Does anyone else remeber the underpasses that used to be all around Coventry. Am sure one of them used to come up...

    Relocating to Coventry - advice welcome!

    Earlsdon is a pretty good place to live, although there are far more students about thanks to the expansion of Cov Uni. Plenty of decent places to eat and drink and only a ten minute walk to Chapelfields if you want more traditional pubs. Memorial park is just around the corner as is the train...

    Introduction

    Hello Al and welcome. I don't usually post and tend only to come on here to see who Grendal is winding up. Been to Melbs many times and have to say wandering around Fitzroy on a sunny afternoon sinking a few cold ones has got to be one of the most pleasurable experiences life can give a man...
