    Advice Please: Summer Jobs for Student?

    So then, 16-year-old daughter is just about to finish her GCSEs, and is looking for a job full-time/part-time/flexible, over the summer. I'm struggling a bit to help her - I must confess I thought it would be pretty easy. This place is always a good source of information, some of of it is even...

    Dol-y-Moch - Planned Closure

    Just in case this one has passed you by, I thought it might be worth making people aware that the Council are working hard behind the scenes to close down Dol-y-Moch. For those who haven't been there, Dol-y-Moch is an outdoor education centre in North Wales that's been used by Coventry children...

    Taking the kids to the Southend Game... Advice needed!

    OK then, I've never taken the kids to a game at the Ricoh before, so apologies for the daft questions. I'm after a bit of help, where's the best place to sit given the youngest (at five) might find it a bit daunting? Also, what's the best way to buy tickets for kids these days - I normally...

    Wembley Parking

    I'm going to have to drive down on Monday by the looks of it. Just wondered if anyone here had any advice on where to park. More than happy to walk 20-30 minutes or possibly even a bit more, especially if that dodges a bit of traffic. Any hints or tips welcomed, with apologies if someone has...

    Parking at Port Vale

    Left it late, as usual, but heading up in a bit. Not been there before and just wondered if anyone had any tips for parking near the ground? I don't mind walking a bit, but like I say not really familiar with the set up there. Cheers for any advice, and Merry Christmas everyone! Three points...

    Give us a job...

    Hi all, Sorry to have been a bit quiet over the summer - a lot going on, family bereavement, redundancy, getting even fatter etc. Anyway, it turns out that even a bloke with my vast technical skills and charming if overly-modest personality needs to work sometimes if he wants to eat. ;) On...

    Parking in Nuneaton on Sunday?

    Hi all, just wondered if anyone could advise where might be a good place to leave the car tomorrow to collect on Monday. I'm going in on the train (hopefully!) and wanted somewhere to leave the car that's close to the Nuneaton station. Appreciate that there's a car park there, but I'm...

    Should the team run out to this tune...

    I can see where the Marseille fans are coming from with this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOMXpMIAlOo In truth, I think our season is almost worse than theirs - at least they've got a cup semi-final to look forward to! :)

    Wasps want to play on Saturdays...

    The football club might still get fixture priority (because Wasps are currently obliged contractually to provide that), but if you're a Cov RFC supporter this is worrying... http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/wasps-rfc-could-play-home-9059066 Wasps statement: "The club will...

    Buy Walsall tickets online - print or collect tickets?

    Quick question, has anyone bought tickets online, and if so can you print them off or do you need to collect them from the stadium? I'd ask the ticket office, but obviously there would need to be someone answering the phone for that to work. They don't want to make it too easy, eh. ;)

    Councillor Response to Wasps Sale

    The response I've just received from a councillor, in reply to my email sent prior to the vote. I've stripped out the names, but looking at the original document properties, and the style of writing employed, I think that this is a generic letter that everyone who emailed a councillor will be...

    Listen to Fisher on CWR this morning.

    I can't quite put my finger on this - sounds a bit like they've doubled the medication. ;) Sort of passive-aggressive, being nice, but without actually being nice, I think. I don't mean this in a horrible way, I guess it's a 'we are where we are' speech. Have a listen for yourselves...

    100% of ACL, 250-year lease, £20m. C'mon Mr Fisher!

    Surely this represents 'ownership' of the Ricoh in its broadest terms. This is what SISU wanted, and it's a lot less hassle than building a new, smaller stadium further away. Tim, if you're reading - get a formal expression of interest in now and shoot down this Wasps abomination!

    Judicial Review - How many days will it be in court?

    Apologies if this is already out there somewhere, but I just wondered if anyone had seen anything official about how long the JR is scheduled for in court? I might try to pop along. I'm not really fussed about the detail, but I'd like to see what Joy really looks like in person. ;)

    What Happened to the Mark Labovitch Thread?

    So there I was, with the post of the decade in repsonse to the Mark Labovitch "Someone's cousin met ML" thread, only to find it had gone missing... http://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/44614-Mark-Labovitch ... are there dark forces messing with your server, Nick? :)

    Fixture pile-up. Eight games in March.

    And so it begins. The 'home' game against Walsall is now on Weds 5th March. http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/sky-blues-fixture-wrangle-walsall-6684034 Doesn't look like SP will be very happy about this or that it helps the play-off push. Given there are already...

    Timmy Failure - Mistakes Were Made.

    Dunno where my kids got hold of this book from, but I think it could be a million-seller in Cov. Timmy Failure, Mistakes Were Made. Sad thing is, they still are. I'm hoping Timmy Failure's next book is Crime and Punishment. ;)

    Admin: ACL v SISU, where it might be heading...

    I think ACL's recent offer to let CCFC Ltd play free at the Ricoh whilst in Administration, and TF's absolute insistence that the only way forward for the club is for CFFC Ltd to exit Admin as quickly as possible, gives a clue as to where all this is going. Fisher and SISU will clearly only...
