Love the Wig & Mitre. Good grub too. Well worth the hike up Steep Hill, and the nearby Brown's Pie Shop ain't too shabby either (from memory). Not so fussed about The Magna Carta though, but it's not bad I guess.

Very lovely this morning. Yes, me too (fair weather, but not so much lovely. Begging your pardon for being such, sir, but I'll just keep despising all that Wasps stand for until they fuck off out of Coventry. Which probably means until the day I croak, eh?

That's me finished with the club then. (Not that I have much to do with them now, with Sisu still around).

If you could believe all such stats W*sps will be playing CRFC in the RU Championship next season. I Believe...

Decent night out in Tin Hat nowadays TBF (no clubs now - suits me sir, I'm getting too old for that shit - but quite a few decent pubs since Marstons started selling them off to small breweries, and there are now two very decent recent start-up 'micro-pubs' selling lots of good ciders, one of...

Yep, used to know a few in Sharnford too (but left there in 2004).

Oi. We need our webbed feet due to all the spilt tears round here. I was born in Rugby BTW (lots of Le*****er fans there). Moved to Cov. Back to Rugby (ish), moved to Southam, back to Cov, moved to Hinckley (ish), back to Cov, moved to Treacletown (for a mercifully short period of time), back to...

Oh, and I was at 78 Sea Road and there's a gooners fan there now, so nip round and give him a slap...

Which one? (House I mean, not Point!). Say hi to gary in the point caff from me. Are they making any progress on the new 'observatory' thing? It just seems to stumble on forever. Should have been finished about two years ago. Also, I can recommend a good cheap plumber a few yards from you if you...

And that voice. God, that feckin' voice....

Sorry - missed this. Bleak in winter - check. Annoyingly busy in summer - check. Full of Forest, Leicester, Derby, Sheff U and Sheff W fans all year round. Enough?

Lived in Chapel St Leonards until recently, but moved back as i couldn't stick it any longer! (Lincoln itself is lovely BTW).

That'd be a nice change.

No, far from it. I was at that charity match too (we'd moved to Cov by then). Wasn't up to much as a ground IIRC. Nice enough now though, and if, as Jon Sharp keeps telling us, the facilities are to be improved, it should be an excellent 8-10000 capacity facility with covered stands on both...

That's what I thought. The Co-op Funeral Home was just to the side of it (opposite side from the grandstand) back then too, so it all adds up. Didn't know they'd since fenced it off though. Very sad.

As I recall it this was the main reason Town folded. I was born in Rugby and used to watch Town on odd occasions at Bilton Road. The Co-op owned the land at the time (may still do so for all I know) and decided they wanted it back to develop it. If you look at it now, many, many years later...

Small Faces I think you'll find - but fine list nevertheless!

Pete Brown and Piblokto! (The exclamation mark is theirs). Combine that with the title of their seminal album: Things May Come and Things May Go, but the Art School Dance Goes on Forever. Doesn't get any better than that...

Thought it was just me! 'Delilah' from the Total Balalaika Show disc is well worth a listen too. (Like a proper saddo, I have the Three Disc Collector's Edition DVD set. :(:happy:).
