I thought the female Supt character was pretty weak, and the Slater gang a bit "Sweeney", but so far, so good.

"The whole public sector needs an overhaul", you said. But all of the points you make here are spot on.

James Corden says 'chubby' actors are shut out of romantic roles (BBC News) Is it because he's "chubby" - or just a talentless, annoying twat?!

I think that's how they tackled it in Brum recently, wasn't it? Get a city-wide Section 60 order. They did Operation Sceptre in Cov too, blitzing Hillfields for a week.

Whatever that patch of common is called between longford road and the canal, then - Sowe Valley Way??? Something like that !

Thanks FP

I started using it (the parking, not the word!) ages ago when you could cut through the building site at the top end (which was used as a matchday car park by the entrepreneurial landowner - but you could walk through for 50p) onto the canal towpath and up to the bridge near those flats then...

Just a quick one, anyone know if Blackburn Road (off Longford Road opposite the park) still available for parking on matchdays, or has it been subsumed into the exclusion zone?

No i wasn't implying that, it's just that maybe they are diluted by the negatives like the ones you described.

(Edited after reflecting on CvD's comment) Sure, our attendance record for the EFL Trophy at the new Wembley was broken yesterday, but if Oxford had been able to bring more, ours would have been close to what they had.

In general, away fans of any club are more the "die hard" types - NOT saying that those that only go to home games are not "true fans", by the way! So they will generally be the ones who make more noise. Yes, drink has something to do with it, but being outnumbered and wanting to out-sing the...

Pete, I could understand the issues the black community had with it in the 80s, when the police, and particularly the Met were well-documented as being institutionally racist, but that is SURELY not the case in this day and age? I accept the unconscious bias argument to some extent, but this...

It is being reported that the Home Secretary has given increased Section 60 powers to a number of police forces (including West Mids) where knife crime is seemingly spiralling out of control. Is it because i am a white, middle-aged, middle-class male who has never been in trouble with the law...

Desperately sorry to hear that, Otis. Be there for her ... My wife is due to be discharged tomorrow after her major abdominal surgery this week, and we just have to wait the couple of weeks for the pathologists to report on whether anything they took was malignant. What fingernails??

I don't tend to get too upset about celebrities and musicians dying (stiff upper lip and all that), often wondering what the fuss is about, but Ranking Roger's passing really hit me. I guess having seen him perform so recently might have forged that bond.

Dammit - beat me to it!!!

How may Solihull Mores are there??

Does CCC own the land that the Jag were going to develop on Whitley South, which will now be vacant for the foreseeable? In Warwick District, but CCC might own it ...

Was that one of the bits that the Leicester fans were lobbing over the fence at us back in the 80s?

So if SISU have got wind (pardon me!) that the JR appeals have failed in the Supreme Court, as this might suggest, would it be better PR for them to say "You know what, fuck it - let's see the colour of the council's money", before the decision of the Court was released???
