    The Flying Standard

    I had an aunt who worked as a pharmacist for White's, and yes the "merger" with Boots led to a fairly rapid loss of all mention of the old brand.

    **ALL USERS READ THIS, ACTION REQUIRED ASAP** - Sky Blues Talk forum statement

    Disappointing that Trish "Sausage" Adudu didn't mention us on her programme this morning. They frequently repeat stuff from Alan Partridge's evening show on the next day's breakfast travesty, especially where the Trust are concerned, it seems!

    Holy crap - that is something of a turn-around! You've had an impact, Pete!! But a TINY bit of credit to CWR for not ignoring our statement completely, which they could have.

    The Flying Standard

    Holy Shit - i used to drink in the Last Plantagenet on Granby Street in Leicester when i lived there. Pretty much before 'Spoons was a "thing". Maybe trying to focus on a core market, or lose pubs with giant square metreage which will cost them dear. Looks like they are being sold off, not just...

    So if we have had responses from Trish and Lego, why the fuck haven't they broadcast anything about it? They fucking would if it was the Trust or Johnson!

    The Flying Standard

    So reading deeper into this, it has been sold to a "private investor" (for £3.2M), who were advised by Coffer's. No more detail about the investor or why Wetherspoon have chosen to sell the place, and i have to say i'm quite surprised they are letting it go (unless they are merely selling the...

    BBC Coventry and Warwickshire will it's name and presenters role.

    Holy Christ, listened for a few minutes this morning to see if there was any mention of our "open letter" (which there wasn't, of course), and she seems to be morphing into Rustie Fucking Lee! I'd be perfectly happy to see all BBC local radio scrapped if it meant presenters like her being out of...

    OK, thanks Grendel. I'll stop frothing that BBC CWR is as much of a hotbed of anti-CCFC fervour as i thought it might!

    Back to the frothers for a minute, does anyone know if the wanker James Alexander "@JimmyHillsChin" on Twitter is the same James Alexander who appears to work for BBC CWR (this afternoon reporting on some Harry & Meghan shit)? If he is a BBC employee, he really needs to temper his language and...

    BBC Coventry and Warwickshire will it's name and presenters role.

    Thank fuck for that - i'm opposite to Rob: i can't abide her vacuous nonsense on my drive to work. Might start tuning in again in the mornings now. Shame they had to go through the "experiment" of having her and the air-head Jo Tidman (she didn't last long without a script, did she?) replacing...

    Pinch of salt time, then?

    The Flying Standard

    Looking at Coffer's website, it doesn't look like they buy and sell property in the leisure sector, but provide advice to those who want to. What's the source of this report, Garrison?

    What's it say on the front cover of your passport, and the details on the photo page?

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Was previous three seasons, if i remember the reports correctly. But the issue of Sarries players still being selected by England when playing in the Champ, you have to say that would be a daft default position for Eddie Jones & Co to take. With the greatest respect to teams in the Champ...

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Double-edged sword this, i feel. It's absolutely right that Prem Rugby have acted firmly against teams that break the rules (are you watching, football?), but on the other hand, our hopes of seeing the insects get relegated and go bust have gone down the toilet.

    Working to Become Financially Independent

    Isn't that Gold and Dave? I'm with Shhmeeee on having a publicly funded broadcaster to provide the news service (aka BBC News 24 - but to include things like Match of the Day, and other sports current affairs stuff) and subscription for everything else. Their sport offering is currently...

    Indemnity Amount

    In the same way that you can buy indemnity insurance for that, i'm sure you could buy cover for legal charges too, but i may be wrong. You can't insure your business against fines imposed by courts for (e.g.) H&S breaches or negligence claims. (And that, kids, is why good H&S might cost a bit...

    Indemnity Amount

    Never been quoted to my knowledge, and given the number of NDAs in place, i would be GOBSMACKED if anyone had mentioned it. It's just guesswork/made up!
