Yep, I'm a bit of Devoto nerd. :) Listened to Jerky Versions of the Dream again recently after a break of some years and it sounds dated though in way that the Magazine stuff doesn't. Also have the Luxuria albums.

Have you read the Dostoevsky novella 'Notes from the Underground' which influenced Devoto heavily on 'Song from under the floorboards'? I found it hard-going but generally like his other work (you may know that Crime and Punishment also gets a name check through Raskolnikov in Philadelphia on...

It's a painting by Odilon Redon. He did some scary stuff worse than that! :) It's also the cover for the Magazine single 'Give Me Everything'.

When you were mediocre in your first few jobs would it have been fair to say that you'd never be any good?

I'd make the argument to you that if you are considering buying you should go for it before proof of signings - or at least before the cheap prices go. Two reasons: 1. Look at Mowbray's track record: we can assume that he'll bring in the right players. 2. We don't yet know the impact that...

Nope, I'm your nemesis.

Yes, I've also been told something secret by an inconsequential person that I shalln't reveal on here.

<<Insert weak pun here>>

It's been confirmed he has sobriety. This is why he cannot play in Scotland.

Nope, Michael McIndoesn't.

. I'm guessing you're a 'glass half full' man?

Thatcher's a tricky one. She did an awful lot of good things and was PM during a time when the country needed steering away from the abyss. On the other hand, I hated it at the time and she could have certainly achieved the same with a little more empathy.

Rather than guess the signings, almost all of which will be completely wrong, it could be better to guess unrealistic new blood. I'll kick off with Heath Robinson and Salvador Dali.

Sorry, Skyblueweeman - was being sarcastic. Also, thought about writing "No shit, Sherlock". :)

Are you a bookie? You seem to have inside information...

He also looks good - keeps it simple.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIGYP8quJo0

Is Thomas still a kid? He's 22 this year, so if he is, this is his last year of being one.

I'm really pleased to read that it has improved since I was last there. Also good to read that all the restaurants were full one evening - must mean things are picking up. :) I told a small white lie - I was in Pool Meadow about 2 years ago. Didn't recognise it. Of course it's probably...

I suspected as much. He hasn't played for any big clubs as far as I know. When he yet again failed to get a game at the end of the season I thought 'Must be gout'.

I left Coventry in 1981, having been lucky to be there during the punk revolution, enjoying the fantastic music scene at that time. Two (at least) fanzines: (Alternative Sounds and Private Enterprise); gigs every weekend with some great bands (Urge, Wild Boys, Specials until they became famous...
