Coventry today (1 Viewer)

[Terry Gibson's perm]

We went to the motor museum, Hebert art gallery and the cathedral today and had a great time. Really cheap or free and load to do.

The motor museum has a few different cars out from storage which I hadn’t seen before.

Had something to eat in the slug and lettuce which was very nice and then an ice cream in the old fire station

Really impressed and nice to see the centre changing most of it for the better.

Went to the Herbert Art Gallery a few weeks ago with my wife and son. She, as a native Coventry was surprised to learn so much - topped it off with a lunch at SHIN which does awesome Japanese food if you're into it.

The city can be a great little day out

 

[Adge]

Hurry up and get there if you haven’t been-after the City of Culture the plug is being pulled on the funding of both.

Do like those 2 museums, try to go every few months when the exhibits change. If you walk around that bit, the cathedral and the nice bit it's really nice.

Sister was a manager there and has just took her redundancy.

I knew there were going to be (senior) management cuts but I hadn't heard anything about them closing. Would be a massive mistake to close either let alone both.

Indeed. It suits her as she has been there 26 years so can afford to go. Yes they are/were having a restructure and wanted her to stay on in a “new position” which was being created for more salary. What it really came down to was that whoever was taking a “new position” would just be carrying the extra workload from the people that have left. Thanks, but no thanks.

I live in Bell Green and in the past few months they've opened a Dominos Pizza and a Betfred bookies. So if you're hungry and fancy a flutter Bell Green is the place to be !

There's a newish Polish/Ukranian restaurant in Far Gosford Street, opposite Fargo.

Went past, but there is no menu in the window. Looked on the internet and can only find the menu in Polish.

Used the option to translate into English and this is what I got.



Sensors? Living with a bubble and apple? Bloods with meat meat? Poultry wood? WTF!




Diapers in broth?



Siberan Children??

Knits with pear??

Poultry Turtles????

Winnie sauce????

Definitely going to book!! Salivating at the very thought..

That seems bloody expensive, Otis! Pelmeni for £8.20 is outrageous. Salo and bread, Borsch - both £4. My missus says she'll make those for you for half price. Your wife should be able to make all of those.

Yeah, missus can make all that, but it's for her birthday.

I'm using my birthday money to take her out. She's been a bit homesick of late.

Misses all the scandal and nerve agents I guess.

 

[skyblueinBaku]

You're a vegetarian, Otis. What will you eat?

 

[Otis]

You're a vegetarian, Otis. What will you eat?

Obviously the diapers in broth!!


There was a salad on the menu. The only thing I can see, but just want the missus to have a nice meal that reminds her of home ......

cold and fashionably late.

 

[vow]

You're a vegetarian, Otis. What will you eat?

Vegetarian Siberan Children.

 

[Otis]

Vegetarian Siberan Children.

Can't eat children I'm afraid. They have gelatine in them.

 

[skyblueinBaku]

Here's the menu, Otis:

Oh, cheers for that. That's totally different to what is on their website then.

And I can't stand cabbage!

 

[wingy]

Revenge Is a dish best served cold! !

 

[wingy]

It was also a fairly decent album by the Eurythmics.

You want me to slip a nerve agent into her salad?

Have a look at the reviews for the restaurant on Tripadvisor. Some are not very good.

Yeah, did look. Most of them I saw though were more about service than the food.

 

[clint van damme]

not unusual for a new place. Probably best to give it a couple of weeks for the staff to acclimatise.
