I also recall a copper being shot dead here in Coventry in the 70' s I think ?

And Stuart Pearce was nicknamed Psycho then!

Watched a programme on Harry Roberts who shot dead 2 coppers in 1966. Another bloke shot dead 1 policeman. I remember as a kid standing on the Spion Kop with City fans singing " Harry Roberts he kills coppers." He got released after being inside for 50 odd years. The death penalty had just been...

Last home game of the season recently had a good drink with my mates before and after the match. Felt like shit the next day, in fact took 2 days to feel better. Signs of getting older !

I used to be in pubs most nights, but slowly reduced it down. I like a good drink on a football day, but can go 3 or 4 weeks without a drink and don't even give it a thought. I know some who can have 2 pints and that's it, but I wouldn't bother going in the pub for that.

Wasn't McVicar an ex bank robber ? I'm sure I watched a film with Daltrey playing him in the movie ?

I wonder what Lemmy would say about Daltrey ? Or Ozzy Osbourne. I went to an Ozzy gig in Leicester years ago and he was that out of it He kept disappearing off stage, we all knew he was taking something, but it's Ozzy Osbourne so thats what you get !

I just keep away from the pub. My problem is when I go in them. 2 pints leads to 10 and I smoke too which is strange as I hate cigarettes. I used to drink most nights years ago my life was centred around pubs. For me staying out of pubs seems to be the key, as I don't like drinking at home much...

You're probably right as I've lost mates who carried on drinking when they should have eased up. I myself cut down as it was getting out of hand. I guess we dont like to see our flesh and blood partaking in stuff we deem wrong !

My son stopped smoking weed for a bit, took up boxing and loved it. But alas the addiction has proven too strong and he's back on it. I can't judge him as I've had problems with drink although I'm okay now. But he knows I don't like him smoking it, but he's a grown man so he has to accept he's...

Roger Daltrey of the Who stopped a gig in America when some fans in the crowd were smoking dope. He shouted at them to stop as the smoke etc affected his voice, and he was allergic to the stuff. Not very rock and roll seeing the Who were a rebellious band years ago. But I hate the smell of dope...

I said to my son the other night come and have a look at this going on outside. A group of kids were smashing the bus stop shelter up with a couple of people waiting there. The glass is still there today they've stopped cleaning it up as it gets smashed again. The kids love the attention.

Never watch it as where I live in Bell Green you don't need to, as many people live their lives in public. You can get a woman shouting at a bloke while shoppers are moving about, calling him a bastard for bonking her best mate. Beggars and drunks asking for money, and youths looking for...

I think the more brazen you are these days and thick skinned you can get away with a lot. Take Danny Baker for example. You'd think he'd keep a low profile for a bit over his dodgy royal baby tweet, but not at all as he did a gig in Nottingham to a full house, and got a standing ovation. Which...

I think Jigsaw were at the Walsgrave pub on a regular basis?

My sister went on a few dates with a member of Cov band Jigsaw. They played a lot at the Walsgrave pub on Ansty Road.

Thanks for those pics Houch. I saw Quo at the NEC 20 years ago on a New Years Eve concert. The whole place was rocking and they are great live. As for Skynrrd I've never seen them, but love their music. My mate got 2 tickets £150.00 each but his pal can't make it, so he asked me to come instead...

I'm going to the NEC in June to see Lynnrrd Skynnrd and Status Quo. Obviously new line ups, but should still be good. But watching Quo on bbc4 tonight doing a boring acoustic concert from a few years ago, tedious tosh !

Was that you on five live this morning ? Nicky Campbell show. If so who out of the 4 clubs were you implying shouldn't be there? When pressed you never said ! Liverpool ?

Depression ?
