    Not even pretending you can't hear your wife/partner when they're going on about something you're not interested in?! ;)

    New cars

    Normally I drive it without a break, especially on the way to Coventry. If I do stop it is never for more than 5 minutes, sorry to disappoint you. I didn't know what caused the fire at Luton, it was a question.

    New cars

    I drive 335 miles each way for a home game, an EV would be no use to me & that's before I think about whether they are green as it is claimed. Aren't batteries recommended to be replaced after 10 years/100,000 miles at how much, £15k - £20k?, and then what about recycling the damn things. Aren't...

    England - Lee Carsley Era

    It is ridiculous that pundits say that England have to win either the Euros or a WC, even the FA have said Tuchel's appointment gives them the best chance of winning the next WC. I just want an England team to play in a positive, attacking style & not the turgid, defensive shite we have seen...

    When the Americans re made Fawlty Towers they did it without Basil & called it "Sybil by the sea". Guess what, it was shit!!

    New cars

    If I didn't have such a long drive to home games my next car would be a classic car from 60s or 70s. I hate all the technology on modern cars & will never have an EV as I'm not convinced they are the green option they are supposed to be

    They've got to score 111 in 10.4 overs to qualify for semi final but looks like they're trying to get all out in 10.4 overs

    Did you see the 2 fielders run into each other trying to stop the ball? Some of the fielding in the tournament has been comedy gold

    I watched both series over the weekend & thought it was very good and Alma's mother was brilliant. I have no experience of prison/drug/care services but if that's what they are like then they really do need sorting.

    Things that annoy you

    My friend has a Harley Davidson trike and it's road tax is £340 pa but if he bought the equivalent Harvey Davidson motorcycle it would be £120 pa. How do they work out car/motorcycle road tax? It can't be emissions and it can't be weight so how is it done?

    Road closures

    On Saturday I headed back to M6 through Bedworth and the A444 has the outside 2 lanes for anyone wanting to go down A444 or north on M6 closed. Is this part of the road closures and if so what purpose does it serve as it delays people getting on roundabout and heading anywhere but down the A444?!

    Coventry gigs

    My facilities are the car I use to drive the 335 miles to the CBS. I suggested taking a change of clothes but she has made up her mind & there is not much that can be done to change a woman's mind 😉

    Coventry gigs

    I think the gig starts at 8 but my friend lives in Birmingham and is meeting with others in Coventry at 7. With the ongoing traffic issues she'll be lucky to be home by 7, she didn't get home after the Spurs game until 11:30!

    Coventry gigs

    Mike Peters from The Alarm playing HMV Empire on Saturday night, a friend is missing the game as she doesn't think she can get home and back to the gig in time after the game & doesn't want to probably miss the last chance to see him live.
