    Things that annoy you

    People who want a publicly owned broadcaster to have it's non-existent funding withdrawn because they didn't like a programme that it aired. Cancel culture gone mad.

    Selling the water and the oil and the council houses went well. Yeah, sell more publicly owned assets. Yawn.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It is really funny and scabrous. If you have a local library still open after (call me) Dave and Gideon's austerity, go and borrow it. Well worth a read.

    Cov city centre

    Donald Gibson (chief architect of Coventry city centre) was a visionary who deliberately prioritised pedestrians over traffic in his design. The fact is that when you're the first, mistakes are made and improvements are implemented in subsequent designs. The huge crossroads at the bottom of...

    Cov city centre

    Popped in last Sunday to see Dippy. Had a pint in the Golden Cross, a pint in the Yard and a nice feed in the Noodle Bar. Had a lovely afternoon, but it didn't even cross our minds to do any shopping. The city centre needs to be primarily an experience destination, with some shopping. Not the...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    This, if true is profoundly distressing. Starmer has to play to the Tory press. The fact is that with two progressive parties and one regressive party, in a FPTP post system, the Tories can split the progressive vote. FPTP needs to go...

    But, but, but...Those profits are paid as dividends which go into your pensions. Rinse and repeat.

    Just to be slightly pedantic. I believe that STs are released on the 3rd. If you want to keep your current seat(s), best to renew on the 2nd.

    Moving from BT to Sky

    Missus had the same issue with Virgin many years ago. She bit the bullet and went to Gmail. Forwarded a few important emails to the gmail account and she's been fine ever since. £7.50/month for email is a disgrace in this day and age.

    Yeah, ST holder too. Nice fella, he's off to Glastonbury this year, but he's local enough to sleep in his own bed every night. Lucky bugger!

    I think you'll be okay if you don't mind where your seat is. I've always gone for an aisle seat as being in Block 15, I need to nip down to the bogs every 15 minutes to powder my nose.
