    Wasps current finances & hope

    No. This can't be true. I clearly remember that Councillors lined up to tell us that Wasps were going to build their training base in Coventry. One of the added benefits of having them here. Surely no one involved in this deal would've been lying to us? Italia, Italia, wherefore are thou...

    Double decker crash

    I must confess that at least in part I do feel sorry for the driver. He's got dementia and reading between the lines he's had problems for a while. He didn't have to keep putting himself forward for work, but who knows how much of it was down to his illness. One of the symptoms I've seen in...

    Double decker crash

    I doubt it's just because of his age, Nick. It's more likely to be his health in general, particularly if he's in a state where he wouldn't be able to follow or understand proceedings. It feels right, to me at least, to have a trial of fact so that the whole situation is exposed. Personally...

    The Coventry Telegraph

    For me, that's already the case. Just can't be bothered with the CET site any more, it's just too painful...

    Iggy Pops

    It's Nick's call at the end of the day, but I'd have left him on personally. The bloke did my tits in often enough, but he was generally well-mannered about it at least. Plus he was a useful early warning system - when he popped up unannounced you always knew that the Wasps PR machine was...

    Another potential terror attack at Westminster

    Bollocks. With apologies, anyone who comes up with that sort of shite is lazily parroting the kind of Daily Mail crap that's all too common nowadays. This pretence that you need to be right wing to believe in law and order is ridiculous and anyone who chucks it out without thought deserves...

    George Thomas to Scunny

    Politely differ. If he blows his ACL tomorrow and never properly recovers, or simply ends up dropping down the divisions by never quite fulfilling his promise, that cash will come in quite handy.

    Things are changing - nothing stays the same

    Hmmm. Sixteen stories though. Twice the height of the flats in Spon End. The height of the tower at Massey's for anyone who remembers that. That is a hugely dominant structure that I can't quite see as in context for that location. Where the hell is everyone going to park? I'm old enough...

    Match Day Routine - 2018 Edition

    Old Red Horse for a couple of pints. Get to the game late. Pint at half-time in the bar below the East Stand, watch the start of the second half on the telly. Couple of pints in Strikers. Get the pink, which for some reason always used a slightly blurred font. Couple in the Brewer & Baker...

    Robert Jarni Article

    Me and my avatar like the way this comes around every now and then. Never put a foot wrong for us did Jarni, one of my favourite ever players. :)

    4K TV's

    Hey SW, I've literally just bought the 43" version of this on Amazon for £299, though now I can only find it for £310, sorry... I don't really know a great deal about TVs, and this is last year's model, but I can connect it to my hub via an RJ45 lead and get stuff like Netflix, Youtube and...

    The Cycling Thread

    Thus bringing me up to a mighty 52w. Almost enough to light a small cupboard, except in the far corners of course. :)

    The Cycling Thread

    I hate those skinny buggers that can just fly up hills. On the upside it's much easier for car drivers to see me when I'm climbing, what with my wider profile and bright-red glowing face. I just wish those ambulances would stop following me around. It makes me nervous... :)

    The Cycling Thread

    An absolutely fair point mate, but trust me, I need to waste energy. It's that or cut about 4,000 calories a day. :)

    The Cycling Thread

    Funnily enough, I'm contemplating taking the SPD-SL pedals off my road bike, and going back to old fashioned normal pedals. My reasoning is that I don't really like being clipped in, partly for safety, but also for comfort. Also, really I'm riding to get fit rather than to get fast. More than...

    Sisu' latest accounts

    So basically you're saying the mis-reporting of this is stupid, rather than malicious? Does that make it any better? Funnily enough, the "don't have an anurysm" type of response is in itself a kind of empty frothing. It adds nothing to the debate, but hey, if it makes you feel like you've won...

    Sisu' latest accounts

    But the point here is that these are SISU's accounts, and not the club's. It's been spun as being an outrage that SISU made a juicy profit out of the club, but as OSB has flagged that's not necessarily an accurate interpretation. So this is either very lazy journalism, or someone who is...

    Ponticelli

    I've not googled it, but in my memory I've actually got him as a lawyer rather than a P.I.? Same actor was also in a personal favourite film, Vanishing Point. <Insert own football-related gag here> :)

    Stomach turning

    Much as I despise Tommy Robinson, I'm sure he's not having a great time in there. He's broken the law and he's paying the price, that's all that I ask. I don't need him to be beaten, raped or terrified, but that seems to be the kind of prison that you'd want, at least for the people that you...
