You can get on with life without needing to behave quite like this. Where's the social distancing, where are the masks, and why is there such a huge queue if the pub have managed it properly through bookings? It's completely unnecessary and calling it out as a bit stupid isn't being a killjoy...

Where's the social distancing, or the masks. Why are the pub allowing this to happen instead of having a booking system? It's this kind of stupidity that will cause another wave. If people have got the time and money to go out drinking on a Sunday night it's their choice, but this looks like...

A low-rent racist thug, always has been, always will be. Taking money out of the far right has always been an easy exercise; a bit of overt racism, a lot of fake outrage when you get shut-down or called out, and then a request for cash to support 'free speech'. Ker-ching! :)

Me either, OSB, though if I'm completely honest it sure cheers me up to think that they might! Ah, I don't really want them to go bust, I just want them back in London where they belong, imho, and the Coventry clubs to thrive in their absence. One can but dream...

Afternoon OSB, hope you're well. Always good to read your analyses. The auditors are saying that there's a risk regarding the 'going concern' without Richardson's ongoing support though, aren't they? Or have I misread? Appreciate CCFC still probably have something similar in their accounts...

No Wasps logos visible anywhere. That is all. :)

Doesn't read well to me. Losses up, bond covenant breached bringing increased risk, auditors question ability to continue as a going concern without Richardson pumping in more cash. Oh dear. I think investing in bitcoin would probably be a lower risk option! :)

Also, just to add, with other local Councils closing their centres - if you really wanted to get more money out of Dol-y-Moch, you'd market its services to them. It's got a great USP in business terms - experienced, teacher-led, outdoor education, designed specifically for schools. Why the...

Just to pop back in, the Council are pitching this as a consultation about restructuring and moving to a more 'commercial' mode. But it's a far more significant change than that, and closure either now, or at a later date is patently not off the table. If you set Dol-y-Moch up to fail by...

Just in case this one has passed you by, I thought it might be worth making people aware that the Council are working hard behind the scenes to close down Dol-y-Moch. For those who haven't been there, Dol-y-Moch is an outdoor education centre in North Wales that's been used by Coventry children...

I was distraught too. CCFC and CRFC winning somehow took some of the sting out of it though. :)

It's never going to trump my bright orange MK3 1.6L though, is it. Shiny Vinyl seats, fake leather steering wheel cover, optional removable gearstick. £150! :)

You could make the case that the Maxi was some way ahead of its time. Not many 5-door, 5-speed hatchbacks in those days. My personal experience with the older early Datsuns was pretty hateful, not much better than the brit equivalents and probably worse for rust. My old Hilux is probably...

Another one I'd never heard of in truth. For all that BL and Rover etc. got hammered, there was a lot of talent and innovation in those companies. My dad had a Chrysler 180, and also the slightly posher two litre. Really nice cars, rare even then in this country, I think. I haven't seen one...

I'd honestly never heard of these. The twin headlight version is a good looking thing, imho, kind of like a shrunken 2.5PI. I'll add it to the list :) I vaguely recall SA and Australia did some interesting things with our motors, sticking V8s into things like Cortinas and Sierras, if I recall...

Are you implying that some random Italian bloke knows more about cars than me? I'm hurt. :)

I completely agree, but as with all things it's each to their own I suppose. Big flashy sports cars always feel a bit ostentatious to me, but I've always liked understated fast saloons. Jag, imho, were the kings of this for a while... I'd still have an E-Type if one was forced on me of...

And for classic cars, in this order please I'd have: Mk2 Jag - Just the most beautiful car ever built, imho. Mk 1 Escort - So simple, so pretty, so much fun to drive. Mk 3 Cortina - Because it's the one that sticks in mind as having the most laughs in when I first started to drive. They...

I love these, rare as hen's teeth nowadays. I borrowed a mate's 2.3 Viva for a while, even rarer, but basically the same car. If you get a chance, have a look on YouTube for Gerry Marshall. I never knew much about racing, but he used to drive these sideways for a living before drifting had...

I miss big Cyrille. He was an awesome player, and by all accounts a terrific person too. Keep those match reports coming if you can, Steve, it takes me back to the days when I couldn't wait to get hold of the pink to read the report on the game I'd just watched! :)
