    Things that annoy you

    US actor 'staged attack over salary' Does so much damage to those that genuinely suffer from rape/racist/homophobic attacks. A true victim now risks not being believed. Also annoyed because there are more instances of white people making up black attackers, especially in the US. There's enough...

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

    I've decided for this game I think it'd be wiser to bring in Meyler for Bayliss - I think we need that extra combativeness in the middle with Kelly. Bayliss is a bit too lightweight and not the best defensively and I think Bright offers a bit more in that attacking position. Still can't decide...

    Is this what we have to look forward to

    I think expansion of HR would've been extremely costly and seen numerous legal battles. The issue of more people and travel to the residential area would've been more of a concern. The stadium was getting old and upkeep costs would've probably made it just as cost-effective to totally knock it...

    As has been said, it's more to do with her party than her. If she became a Tory then the same people who've voted for her continuously for years would all of a sudden despise everything she stood for. It's why democracy has become a joke - it's not about people making informed decisions, it's...

    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?
