A customer of mine has asked me if there are any papers/magazines featuring our play off matches and the Wembley Final etc ? She has a brother in Australia who's a City fan, and she wants to send him something about our promotion. I haven't seen anything yet.

Fair comments. But some things get ingrained in your mindset from your upbringing, and they can be hard to budge. But as I've written on here before I'm a firm believer in you can change by thinking differently as I've proven in my life. But as I've got older I like to think I'm easy going and...

There was a famous magician decades ago called David Nixon. My mum was shopping in town when some people stopped and shouted " look there's him of the telly " It was David Nixon,he was on at Coventry Theatre. My mum loved seeing someone off the television, and he was the Paul Daniels of his day.

I know the bloke you're on about from the Craven. Gez Tracy. He's been there for years now and became a father for the first time last year. Loads of Cov lads go over to drink in his bar, its very popular with Coventrians.

I've mentioned before Houch about my son who's got a dope addiction,but he is trying hard to kick the habit. Well we were queuing up on Monday to go in Wembley, when a copper with a sniffer dog stopped my lad, and with a few stewards took him to one side and searched him. I thought shit he's got...

No not Barmouth. A lovely place called Aberdaron in North Wales. Great for walking/hiking rugged and windswept.

Our block in Bell Green should be knocked down by now for the renovation of the shopping precinct, but it's next year now. They've promised me a bungalow and compensation. Nice ones on Winston Avenue down the road, so fingers crossed may get one there ? Full of druggies and piss heads round here...

This was about 10 years ago in the pub. I read in the paper he suffers with depression and has problems etc. But he may have had a bad day last week ? But he should never forget his fans.

I was in the Old Crown on Windmill Road a few years back playing pool with my son and his mates. When one of them said the boxer Ricky Hatton is in the bar.I thought he said he was on the telly fighting in a bout, but no it was Hatton himself.He was on his way to Brum for some show and as he...

On Danny Bakers radio show this morning it featured the question of who have you unexpectedly seen while on holiday or away from your home etc ? Not necessarily a famous person, just a surprise encounter. It made me recall the time I was on a break in North Wales a few years ago. I was on a camp...

In Bell Green last week where I live, in broad daylight in the afternoon with shoppers milling about, two blokes were arguing and shouting at each other, think it was drug related as seen them around the flats before. Out of nowhere two little kids aged about ten ran up and kicked one of them...

Must be my age/generation but this event creeps me out. Saw a couple of young blokes recently walking hand in hand,and it shocked me. But should I be ? Maybe I should move with the times and accept it is "normal " and not be so prudish. If my dad was alive and saw two blokes holding hands he'd...

Spot on. I was shattered on Tuesday after our Wembley heroics, and said it will be good to have a rest from it all. But now I'm back to normal and want to go through it all again. Thankfully the World Cup is coming soon.

Good choices. But where's a player from current squad ?

Here's my favourite X1 with one player from current squad. Glazier Danny Thomas Stuart Pearce Jim Holton George Curtis Ian Gibson Terry Yorath Denis Mortimer Marc McNulty George Hudson Tommy Hutchinson A team with steel and toughness, skill, and with loads of goals in it.

Select your X1 and stick him in then.

Gibbo. What a player, along with George Hudson my favourite footballer from that era. He liked a drink too !

This is my X1 from the promotion winning team of 66/67 with 2 players I'd put in from the one who got us up this season. Glazier Kearns Bruck Farmer Curtis Machin Doyle Ian Gibson Gould McNulty Rees Obviously only older fans would know of the players I've chosen apart from Doyle and McNulty. But...

There's a woman down Walsgrave who's about 70 and has a great figure. She knows it as well and I saw her walking down the road with a young bloke,I thought it was her grandson,but found out it was a boyfriend. It wasn't Daz was it !

She looks good for her age.
