    F1 2019 Season Thread

    Of course I don't want anyone to get hurt, but let's face reality - the bits that get put in the newsreels and people want to see are the crashes - they're the exciting bits. Why so many people turn in for the opening lap or so then switch off, or just have it on in the background. Why I liked...

    It is a fascinating subject and it's like with a small child when everything is either wrong or right as it's a simple way to understand things, whereas as you get older it becomes a lot more nuanced and you understand circumstances can lead to it. With the teenage brain etc I think in general...

    No, she'll be looking at ways they can make money from the law businesses etc. I find the pair of them incredibly shady and false. To think his son was being considered to being parachuted in to replace Robinson...

    I agree - I prefer someone to say what they think rather than what people want them to hear, even if I fundamentally disagree with them. Corbyn is sort of the polar opposite to JRM - both had a sheltered upbringing from opposite ends of the political spectrum that has led to them being...

    That independent group now has more MP's than the DUP - that £1bn looks like money well spent! For the party with the reputation for sensible handling of the economy they sure can waste funds as well as anyone. And as those in that independent group are leaving their parties for going too far...

    Paying for Godiva Festival / Council Overspend

    But quite a few times in the past we've had people not know if they were going to go until the very last minute. If you don't have the option to just walk-up on the day I know a lot of people just won't bother. And if they make walk-up an assumption that you're not from Coventry and you have to...

    Can't believe they've thought this would be a popular decision. Apart from the Ricoh stuff there's been a fair bit of council business over the years that leaves a lot to be desired. Definitely smacks of the 'jobs for the boys' attitude. One thing I want to clarify here is what exactly do you...

    Paying for Godiva Festival / Council Overspend

    I really don't know how you'd get people to prove they were or weren't residents in Coventry. Are they going to check everyones ID on the way in. Do you have to bring your council tax bill or a utilities bill (even though most are now paperless)? Mad idea. You'd either have to charge everyone or...

    The 'not so obvious' hot babes thread!

    There's a few of the Horrible Histories lot (new and old) I think are alright. Martha Howe-Douglas, Alice Lowe, Jess Ransom and Louise Ford.

    Maybe she's not and never has been mentally fit to make these decisions for herself, and why she was able to be recruited to extremism. That is another kettle of fish and arguably one that her lawyers may argue in the future too. But on the face of it for me at least the issue is her lack of...

    Of course someone with faith has morals. It's just a matter of why are they doing a particular thing - is it because they FEEL it's right or because they're TOLD it's right. Weirdly the only surefire way to know if its a moral decision is if it goes against the doctrine. On the other side, of...

    I agree. For those who go on about 'Christian values' it's actually scientific reasoning/proof tempering the worst of these values down that has made it more forgiving (but there is still a lot of prejudice in Christianity). Before science Christianity was extremely violent and unforgiving (as...

    But that legislation would mean potentially millions upon millions of people wouldn't have a state. Not an automatic citizen of the country you're born in. Not an automatic citizen of the countr(y/ies) your parent were born in either. So not a citizen anywhere. Essentially what you're saying is...

    Does that just apply to their children who weren't born here? I thought being born in a country gave automatic citizenship? Otherwise that could potentially leave lots of people stateless, which is also illegal under international law I thought? Which takes precedence?

    Match Thread Luton Town vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Sunday 24th Feb

    It was tongue in cheek. I know he did give some praise to MR (even though the tone sounded like it was being said begridgingly). Besides, I thought he analysis was OK, and better than some others they have on who just repeat the same point over and over again based on their idea of football from...

    Thanks but no thanks

    Decent point OSB. I can only guess that is how the FO have looked at the situation from a legal standpoint. However, I would've thought that the person in question would have to actually have that citizenship before any other could be revoked and leave said person stateless. I'd have thought...

    Don't claim it's a complete run down of the saga, but it covers the most salient parts compared to the original transcript. At the start the council bent over backwards to get the stadium started and completed, filling in for some extremely shit decision making by our then owners and poor...

    I consider the MM/GR part of the BR era. To be entirely clear I should have just used pre-SISU.
