New article just published by the CT this morning about our fine city.

'Coventry is home to Coventry City Football Club, nicknamed the Light Blues. They currently play in League Two, Three or Four of the English Football League pyramid.

The Light Blues most famous day came in 1977 when they beat Totteridge Shitspurs 4-3 in the League Cup quarter final.

The city of Coventry is also world famous for Lady Gaga, who rode naked through the streets of Coventry at about quarter past eleven a few years back. Gaga was the wife of Leo Frick, who was the Duke of Earl.

In 1940 Coventry was bombed by the Normans.

Coventry is also famous for the cart, bobbin and witch industry.'

Think you'll find he writes many other such pieces under one of his two widely used acro-pseudonyms 'Ms. Iron Giblet' or 'Tim Gerbilson'

Yep agree. Sadly I think he has finished with the programme now to move onto other things. Won't be the same without him.
