What? Are you inferring that i am someone else and actually like/want Wasps here? Take a look through my posts on this thread.... the sad fact is, i'd rather Wasps go tits-up than CCFC make it to the Premier League. My post above was in response to calls for Wasps to be punished for the...

The point is.... as much as all of the above are (at best) broken promises, and at worst a complete misdirection of Coventry taxpayers money and possible fraud???? ....none of them are really within the remit of the RFU or whoever it is to punish Wasps for. As far is i'm aware Saracens were...

This made the 10pm/10:30pm midlands news last night. I didn't stay up to watch, but i assume the CWR article was picked up by BBC news.

Its not the "insight" we want to hear, but i suspect its probably the views of the majority of "dedicated" Wasps fans round here. And as much as it pains me to say it, he's dead right about the vast majority of Cov/Warks public not giving a toss about it.... clearly i think its an absolute...

I for one welcome the input of our new Wasps friend. I dislike the club and will be as pleased as anyone else on here if/when they fail... but a bit of insight (however much we may disagree with their points) is welcome.... otherwise its just us gloating every time they lose or have a poor...

Certainly no harm in building any kind of links with Loughborough... that is one of the elite sporting universities. Its one of the very top athletics/running unis and has an olympic academy there. Would do no harm in building some links with B'ham Uni either if it is possible, as they are...

Knocked out another 8 miles/2700ft on the fells this morning. As i started i noticed a very fit/fast looking runner climbing the ridge a couple of minutes behind me.... held him off for a couple of miles before he caught me... turned out to be one of the top fellrunners from Cumbria, and his...

quite chaotic few days running-wise. Bashed my elbow up whilst "looking after" my two nephews on thursday, was in total agony and supposed to have a 23 mile fell race today. Went out and did a 10 mile "test run" last night on the fells and decided i would do the race, but not be able to push it...

I was there watching last night Rich.... a handful of clubmates running. Was a good night for it.

I wanted Leicester to win the league..... as someone who grew up on the Villa rivalry, i really can't get on board with the Leicester hatred, and was happy for them to give a bloody nose to the "big clubs".... which given their attempt to destroy English football with the Super League, i stand...

I ran in the track league for Godiva today at Abingdon. 10:46 for 3000mtrs Strange at these short distances where the margins are small... i'd have been ecstatic with 10:40 or quicker, but unhappy with 10:50.... and i was only 5 seconds off either of them! Back to familiar territory next...

Start off at a pace that you think is a little too slow and you could easily maintain..... and then "change down another gear"...... will feel very easy to start, but will enable you to gauge the correct pace. If you want to be more technical about it, then run a 3km/2 mile effort as fast as...

club night last night with the new group... 5 x 1 mins 1 x 3mins 5 x 1mins all off 2 minute rests. 10.5 miles. Another club session to come on thursday.... will be my first time on the track with the new group, and no let up in the pace, as it will be 10 x 300mtrs

Raced the Welsh 1000 Metre Peaks race in Snowdonia on saturday.... this starts at the sea nr Aber Falls, and goes over all 5 tops in Wales which are over 1000 metres in altitude.... Actually, i ran the "short" race this year, which starts on the A5 at lake Ogwen, and only goes over the three...

I like the idea, but the image somehow looks like it was cut and pasted together out of bits of different kits... especially with the sponsor running over the tramlines... That said, i'm sure it will look fine in the flesh.

From a later era,, but i do remember some of the characters from the West Terrace in the 90's.... There was some posh student with a home counties accent, really loud, an absolute wanker if i'm honest but the main attraction was his absolutely stunning girlfriend (who never spoke a word)...

I originally had an account on lichess, which is where i hit 1850 (1870 to be precise)..... but although i liked the interface of the platform more than chess.com, i didn't really like the community... always seemed to be people trying to take-back moves, or just let the clock run down rather...

I have ratings from 1994-96 on there of 78D, 69C, 69D..... however these appear to be the "revised ECF rating"..... i would need to convert these to the "traditional ECF rating" (no idea how to do this), and then multiply that value by 7.5 and add 700, to get to an equivalent online rating...

Yes i remember the name well.... i actually emailed someone at Nuneaton a couple of years ago re entering into some local tournaments... but you apparently need to be registered and graded to play in them.... So its just been online chess for me. managed to reach a high of 1850 online, but...

I was in Nuneaton Chess Club as a young teen. Played Whoberley often. When i was at school the top three schools in the area were ourselves (Goodyers End, Bedworth), Good Shepherd (probably the one in Cov but i'm not sure), and Bentley Heath (Knowle)
