    City of Culture Bid

    Some councillors ARE CCFC fans. I can see absolutely nothing wrong with that. It's a fact.

    Bikers 'roar' through the city

    Yep. That's them.

    City of Culture Bid

    True, but I don't believe they are anti Coventry City. You have to remember that many councillors are indeed City supporters.

    City of Culture Bid

    I don't believe that the council ARE anti CCFC at all. I think they are just anti the current owners of CCFC.

    Bikers 'roar' through the city

    Live: Bikers roar through Coventry for funeral of Tyrone Evans Anyone else seen them today. Supposed to be a ride through the city as a mark of respect for a guy who died in a quad bike accident. Up to 300 bikes riding around the city. Only trouble is, we encountered them this morning as they...

    Coventry city centre

    The plans are up in Cathedral Lanes re the Upper Precinct development. Grab yourself a free sausage or bacon batch and drink and you can have a look round. Was in there this morning and eavesdropped on a conservation. One guy there was in charge of south part redevelopment and he was talking...

    City of Culture Bid

    Well it's always a drama at the City, so I think we qualify on that front anyway and it has often been said that Biamou is like Bambi on ice, so there's a bit of ballet right there. Think you will also find that Andy Thorn was acting manager.

    Where have you been?

    I have seen it, but always thought it was for scholars and staff and not for the general public type plebs like me. Might give it a whirl.

    Where have you been?

    Yeah, I didn't think much to the dinosaur one. Just found it dull. Did you ever get to see The History of Us? One whole gallery documenting the history of the world by a street artist. It was so humourous. I went 3 times to see that.

    Where have you been?

    Can I just add, I am pretty sure the Declaration of American Independence wasn't signed with a pencil. Much more likely to have been a crayon or biro.

    Where have you been?

    Yeah, agree, but I don't think we can just look at plane and pencil museums and assume they are boring. Like you say, they need to make it interesting. Example: 'This aircraft engine is blah blah blah size and has blah blah blah pistons etc.' Boring for me. Add to that though, 'And this plane...

    Things that annoy you

    If it's from last year it's probably too late to claim.

    Where have you been?

    I disagree to a point. I would just go and spend less time there. I would guess if the watch museum is small (guessing it is), I would just assume to spend a lot less time there. Same as when I went down London the other week. Like history, not so bothered about science, so spent two hours in...

    Ryan Haynes for left mid

    No, I think that was because he looked in the dressing room mirror before kick off and found out he was ginger.

    Where have you been?

    Not just a shop, Nick. It's also a museum and people have come from all over the world to visit.

    Where have you been?

    The watch museum sounds great. I guess it all depends if you are fascinated by Coventry's history or not. I am guessing not in your case, cos all you do is slate the place. As I said before, I have not the slightest interest in cars, but love the transport museum. I am not bothered by watches...

    Where have you been?

    Only two unfortunately. Was down to go to the Weavers House on the last open day and had it down on my calendar, but completely forgot. Have meant to go to the watch museum too, but I do keep seeing them at events here and there. Still no excuse. I love my history and I love Coventry's history...
