    Does it include a tour of the old Woolworth's store?

    Didn't know the Jag was still going. Didn't it close down for a fair while?

    Bloody hell, not been in that place for over 20 years. Blast from the past.

    Coventry city centre

    Yep. 100 times better. Out of the 3 altogether (Natural History, V&A and the Science) the Science one is by far the worst I would say.

    Please tell me more on Wilko's moving to a new store. :) My wife works there. No word at all of moving, only of giving up the first floor for restaurants and having just the ground floor for the store. Be very interested to know if you've heard different.

    Visiting a Doctor.

    No, never had that, hotrod. Always been in for how ever long it has taken. Think one time last year I was in with the doctor for a good 25 mins or more. They had to ascertain 3 opinions. :)

    That's where the restaurants and new water park should help. Oh and on the museum front, I think I hold the world record. Took my daughter to the Science Museum in London last year and we were literally in there for 12 mins. Walked in one end, walked straight through and back out again. She...

    New Dr Who

    Both great actors though. Not particularly drawn to their movies, but you usually get a top notch performance from them. Cruise has become a bit samey and stale though lately I would say.

    So why open 9 new restaurants? They are saying that the 3 there already at Cathedral Lanes are all doing well and that is why 9 more are happening. Why build them if hardly anyone is going to the city centre?

    I have just mentioned some stuff that is happening if you care to have a look. There is also the water park opening next year in New Union Street and that should be a big draw.

    Lovely old cathedral and two great museums. St Mary's Hall is great too and Fargo is lovely. The Old Grammar School is nice, as is the old Ford's hospital. Where successive councils have gone wrong over a number of years is in building around all the nice places and not including them by making...

    Please tell me where I said there aren't any. I most very clearly haven't said that. I see beggars. I see no more beggars though than I see anywhere else, so let's not just pretend this is a Coventry problem. Always find there are very lazy stereotypes thrown about when it comes to Coventry...

    I don't usually venture down by the swimming baths. I would suggest though that people go to Manchester. You will be absolutely stunned.

    I don't think Clarke is a bad player, but the one thing he isn't is fast. We can beat him hands down with pace.

    I was in the city centre Tuesday and go at least twice a week. Usually 3 or 4 times. Where are all these beggars? Try going to Manchester. Think on Tuesday I saw 3 or 4 beggars in Coventry. In Manchester and this is probably a vast understatement, there were at least 200. It was every 10-12...

    New Dr Who

    Yeah, Anna Friel is another one I always like to watch. Richard Beckinsale was indeed Richard Beckinsale, but I always warmed to him and first remember him from The Lovers, with Paula Wilcox, so for me he was in three programmes I all liked, obviously the other two being Rising Damp and...

    Robins seems very much the type who wouldn't stand for any player not making challenges out there on the pitch.

    New Dr Who

    Yeah, get your point, but I specifically watched this show last night BECAUSE Jodie Whittaker was in it and I liked her in Broadchurch and in Attack the Block. Sometimes you can just watch an actor in anything and everything they do because you like their style of acting. I have always been the...
