    What is going on with the Tory leadership contest?

    Bollocks.... she got off lightly.... no matter how valid your protests may (or may not) be, in the current climate if you go careering round a dinner containing high level VIP’s and MP’s, then you’ve got to expect some ramification. She’s incredibly lucky there wasn’t any security present (or...

    David Speedie

    My dad recalled playing league pool against him (at one of the Social clubs in Foleshill) and he was indeed smashed.

    Sorrento

    I noticed quite a few English in Verona.... particularly in the bars around Hellas.... The Americans always seemed to be headed towards Venice.... Actually apart from Verona, I can’t remember noticing any English anywhere (although it was October last time I went, despite the very...

    Running

    Ran in the 3000mtrs in the midland league at Godiva today. Standard was pretty immense. I ran 10mins48 (which for all the parkrunners is bang on 18mins pace for 5km) and I could still only finish 8th out of 9, and was lapped by two people.

    Diego Maradona

    To be fair to Napoli, they had a fair team.... after all, his strike partner was Careca, who I would compare to Romario.... and at least a couple of strong midfielders.... I’m not saying what he bought to them wasn’t astounding.... he’s my greatest ever player too, and it’s almost certain...

    Another fatal stabbing in coventry

    Understand what you’re saying... but after the amnesty, there’s no excuses when the gang-members are automatically locked up. They had their chance to give their knife up.

    Another fatal stabbing in coventry

    I understand the comments from so called “experts” that you can’t just lock people up and hope it goes away, you need to get to the root of the issue... However something needs to immediately be done, to protect the public... I would have a National two week amnesty, where knives can be handed...

    Running

    It’s at the Godiva Harriers track at the Warwick Uni. There’s track events on all afternoon from about midday... think I’m off at about ten past 4. Next proper race (I.e on the fells) is the Snowdon Uphill on 28th June. From centre of Llanberis to the summit of Snowdon. I’ll be hoping for...

    Running

    I’m making my track debut for Godiva on Sunday afternoon, in the 3000mtrs.... Never raced on the track before, and only ever raced such a short distance in a cross-country relay. Just hoping not to disgrace myself, and hopefully get myself just under 11mins. Had the opportunity to do the 3000m...

    St Andrews travel, parking & drinking

    There is a service through Malvern/Malvern Link, to New Street, something like hourly. If I recall it takes around an hour, passing through Worcester and Bromsgrove.

    Any business minded people who can help/give advice?

    You obviously know the area well... but as someone who spends a fair amount of time there myself, I’d certainly consider the Beddgelert property as a first choice, even though it’s more expensive (if you can afford it). It’s right in the thick of it for the Snowdon tourists.

    For anyone who knows the Lake District... I did the Fairfield Horseshoe Fell Race yesterday in warm weather... one of the most famous hikes in the Lake District.... 60th, 1hr46.

    Government orders congestion charge on Coventry roads

    We've had Tesla in this week, pushing their electric cars.. And there may be a push for us to become an ambassador type company for them, having charging points etc.... No doubt the high-spec cars are impressive (and even fast) and the benefits to company car drivers are decent.... But the...

    Our 400mtr rep session was slightly different tonight... 12 reps, split into 4 sets of 3 reps, each set getting approx 5 seconds quicker.... only 20 seconds rest after, rep 1, 40secs after rep 2, and 60secs after rep 3.... The aim being that by the 4th and final set of reps you are up to...

    Ajax

    My boss at my old work was a die-hard Wolves fan... followed them home and away through all the bad years... Asked him about his hopes for this season.... he said he doesn’t want to end up in Europe as it will be bad for them.... whilst I can understand his point, what is the point in...

    What will they cry about

    Yes it’s certainly not over and you’ve got to fancy Portsmouth at home to score at least one (hopefully they get about 9)

    What will they cry about

    I can only imagine the lower attendance is due to the disappointment of missing out on automatic promotion.... Whilst it’s very poor from the self-titled massive club... let’s not be too hypocritical... after all, if I’m correct we didn’t exactly pack the stands out at home to Notts County...
