    Coventry RFC 2019/20 season

    A farce. First it’s an immediate cut because the Championship clubs didn’t meet some unspecified target, then it’s a possible phased cut where the RFU don’t seem to have any idea what the purpose of the Championship is. Clue: The point is, like most leagues, to compete, avoid relegation, and...

    Wasps downward spiral...

    And to quietly support whoever they’re playing against, obviously. But then that goes without saying. :)

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Interestingly enough, Sarries have been right on it for most of their games, even after the relegation was confirmed. I think they’re playing with an angry, screw ‘em all, kind of siege mentality, and they’re tough to beat at the best of times (even without their England contingent). I’d be...

    Wasps downward spiral...

    I’ve got bugger all time for Wasps, but Dai Young comes across as a thoroughly decent bloke and I wish him well. There are more than a few football managers (I’m thinking Steve Evans here), who could learn a bit about how to conduct themselves from him - a rock-hard competitor who can show a...

    Storm Ciara

    Just walking out in the fields beyond Massey Ferguson’s, as was, and saw some power lines blown down a few hundred yards in front of me. I actually thought it was fireworks at first; it was very impressive, just like the movies. Had I been a bit closer it could’ve been interesting - I’d have...

    Death List 2020

    If you’ve got sufficient altitude then helicopters can kind of glide, it’s called auto-rotation iirc. But yes, lots and lots of very fast moving parts and ejection seats are tricky. :) I’d still love to have enough money to learn to fly one though.

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Not sure if Wasps are off the hook yet, though in truth if Saracens are spared I think it's more likely to be London Irish that come back down. The only thing that's saving the game from ring-fencing is the sheer greed of most of the clubs, which is kind of ironic I guess. I can certainly...

    I like it a lot, personally, both to play (a long time ago) and watch. Each to their own though, happy to differ on this.

    Blues Game

    I'm hoping this will be a bit of fun. Blues fans always seem like decent sorts to me, more than capable of having a laugh and a joke at their team's expense. That's something that most of us have learnt to do too. I can't work out whether we should sing "You're supposed to be at home", or...

    Working to Become Financially Independent

    As long as my taxes aren't funding it, I couldn't give a monkey's about what him and his missus do. If it makes more in tourism than it costs the public purse, then I've no great issue with having a King or Queen, in every other sense though it's completely redundant imho and there are bigger...

    Just out of interest, how? Did they acknowledge your contact? Did you get your pound back?

    Wasps Again

    Here's a question then, how many people do they claim to represent? It seems that you're the one getting angry and abusive here mate, at people expressing frustration with the trust. Your only answer seems to be 'suck it up' and you're getting a bit shirty with those who'd rather not. It's...

    Wasps Again

    Why are you apologising for them?Does criticism of the Trust's approach upset you for some reason? Is it too hard for you to grasp that there are other ways to find out the opinion of the members. It's very odd, this attitude that you're not allowed to complain about the Trust if you can't get...

    Wasps Again

    Democracy is won by establishing a process that can be seen to be fair, open and available. The Trust has any number of potential mechanisms to find out the opinions of its members online. Presumably they've still got our emails from when we signed up, but I can't remember the last time any...

    Wasps Again

    For me at least, the bigger issue is the non-apology. All that really needed to be said was that although no damage was done it's accepted that it was rather thoughtless and won't be repeated. Instead Wasps, not for the first time, have been made to look arrogant and inconsiderate (which is a...

    I was grumpy all afternoon that I couldn't listen to the match too. I got back in the house just in time to pick up the last thirty minutes, luckily enough. D'oh!
