Like you, I had a great time as a teenager, although it was in the early to mid 90s. We were all over the place! Nowadays I’m like some sort of stupid Cov ‘ex-Pat’. I get accused of constantly banging on about the place. The Specials have been a big part of this romanticising. My dream is...

Exactly this. It’s part of being a Coventrian…which I still consider myself to be even though I ain’t lived there for nearly 30 years.

Yeah, really enjoyed that. Also thought I Saw the Devil and Oldboy were very good. Of the ones I’ve seen they’re all kind of odd/find humour in things that seem unusual to me. Different cultures huh? Whatchya gonna do! Turns out I probably haven’t seen as many as I thought…...

Sword in the Stone?!?! Transformers?!?! Bloody luxury! My dad used to come home at Christmas, after his 25 hour shift down t’ pit, and beat us with sticks…etc etc etc.

Just seen this…hope your old man is all ok now. All the best.

Ah ffs. That’s really sad.

Correct!

Went to my first ever game the other week…Wales vs Australia. Front row seats in the Principality Stadium. A really amazing event. Completely lost on me! I didn’t have a fucking clue what the hell was going on. I made my excuses to get the drinks in as often as possible. Slightly surreal...

Get those stories made into films! I Really liked Parasite. I’ve enjoyed a few Korean films over the years…Memories of a Murder comes to mind. Although I also remember being baffled by it.

I always thought it was spelt with an ‘F’. You live and learn!

I thought it was really dull until Mbappe’s 2nd goal…81st minute? Then it was incredible Tbf.

See, I had the exact opposite response…I read the reviews, thought I’d love it…turns out I thought a film about drumming was absolute shite. For similar responses see Black Swan. Watched The Thing (the one with Kurt Russell) again the other night. It’s still great.

Or it will be the kick up the arse the team needs to push on and clinch the title! My point is, it’s meaningless and kinda silly to say such things.

Well, I didn’t hear or see any of that but what a load of fucking shite. We’ve got form for that this season…same as fucking Millwall.

Get in!

So, like 200?

Be interesting to see if they can muster any excitement from the locals there. Not a million miles from us, so people will likely be au fait with their shenanigans. Also, and perhaps more importantly, they’re a 2nd division team now.

I watched that Michael Moore documentary a while back, Sicko, which is about people with insurance and where the companies refuse to pay, for a variety of spurious reasons.

In terms of tax/welfare in the US I’ve always thought that they do essentially pay the equivalent amounts in taxes, just to insurance companies. I guess the difference is they can choose whether to pay health insurance or not?

You’re a window cleaner? £60k a year?! That must be one hell of a round!
