    City of Culture Bid

    Doubt it. Think the bid is judged. It wins or it loses and after that it will be forgetten by the judges.

    Money talks. But, it is not everything. Good will does help.

    City of Culture Bid

    earning it yes, but dragging the City through pointless ( up to now ) JRs probably doesn't count as earning aplace in our culture. Being outside of Coventry doesn't take away my history or culture btw. What cause am I fighting? I am saddened that CCFC isn't up there at the top as "sports" in the...

    City of Culture Bid

    A couple of hundred thousand pounds? On the other hand JRing the city through an out of town hedge fund may be seen as detracting from culture or loyalty to the city.

    City of Culture Bid

    Yes actually they have to be involved otherwise they will hardly be mentioned. I think Lady Godiva has been around for over 900 years and is very well known. She paid in with her good deeds long ago.

    City of Culture Bid

    It certainly helps. Why didn’t we do something to help promote the city and get seen to be doing something- even if we don’t have a Cheque book at the moment?

    City of Culture Bid

    It means that’s where we are today. In 10 years it may be better - or not- but no one judging gives a toss what may happen in 10 years.

    No one outside of Cov gives a toss on the background.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    We’ve done well economically during our time in the EU. Ask the leavers how big our economy is. Germany reckons on paying up to 3bn a year extra as a result of the UK not paying in. Probably less because the EU will reduce the budget. Not much in the real world. The refugee crisis was not...

    They are and through that getting constantly talked about, which in turn builds their brand.

    City of Culture Bid

    City showed little interest in getting involved at the beginning. I had contacts with them and pointed out that Wasps were going to grab the lim

    City of Culture Bid

    That would have nothing to do with the present sales pitch which is trying to sell the city. No one looking at the presentation gives a monkey on why and how Wasps are here. They are here at the moment of placing a bid and have no known plans or reasons to leave ( at the moment).

    City of Culture Bid

    What have we ripped up? Adding a successful sports club is a plus in a presentation. That it isn’t a fourth division club which loses to teams like Forest Green at home in the presentation should come as no surprise. Wasps don’t pick the team for CCFC or allocate budget. Yes, it as a crying...

    It’s our city. The council is only a part of it.

    I thought city joined the bid recently. Or at least they said they were happy to support the bid.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Yes it is a shit paper. It says leaked documents show that the EU will have to give us a good trade deal, but later it won’t have to give us a good deal because of Corbyn‘s stance. Which is it? And the EU has not said they want to give us a bad deal anyway. We won’t get such a good deal as...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    It is trivial compared with our GDP for years to come. Or our exports to the EU in the future. Far more important is the final deal on leaving.

    What an embarrassment!!

    Sounds awfully depressing. Glad I’m not watching this :-(. Saw Leipzig beat Porto 3:2. Great game. Porto were in sky blue and lost. Used to the Sky Blues losing unfortunately.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Not really. I agreed about the candidacy, but pointed out that the campaign from Trump was disgusting - and yes there was Russian interference which was apparently well targeted. According to both Facebook and Google. The Russians thought it was worth it. Whether that was a deciding factor will...
