Downloaded this film from BBC iPlayer. Recommended. I'm biased because it's about maths and includes the music of Keaton Henson. But I think it holds up.

I cannot think of any.

OK, so I've been on the red wine since 6:00. But how fucking brilliant was Bowie? You're supposed to be able to know which is your favourite album and yet I don't even know which Bowie album is the best. I always say 'Hunky Dory' but just listen to some others and they are immediately as...

When he was a child, he fell out with his imaginary friend and had him arrested. He trains weasels to do circus tricks as a hobby. His favourite weasel is 'Crafty Sam'. He loves Wensleydale cheese but refuses to eat it in case it makes him look less masculine. He uses his beard trimmings to...

I was astounded when the LIBOR scandal broke, as I'd never seen any evidence of banks behaving in this way. At the time there were claims that Brown had instructed the banks to do it. Well, it all seems to be coming out now. Libor: Bank of England implicated in secret recording - BBC News

Firstly, horrible that there has been another terrorist attack. But what an overreaction on FB. I haven't worked in London for 2 years and even when I did I wouldn't be on Westminster Bridge - never, in 30 years of working there. And yet I've been asked to tag myself as safe on FB 10 times...

Just because I had 30 mins I looked up the population of the 20 biggest cities on Wikipedia. I determined how many top flight clubs are in each city and then divided the current position in the league of the worst team in that area by the population per team - as some kind of calculation on...

Hurrah! The Six Nations start today. I don't watch much rugger but I love this competition. And it's also a sign that the Winter is nearly over.

Can you think of a completely different team that might even now escape relegation from our position? For example, I think Man City could do it. Or Chelsea.

If, under some bizarre hypothetical situation, SISU agreed that they would sell the club to the fans for 1 penny but only if 100 Coventry fans agreed to a severe spanking on the arse, would you volunteer to be spanked? A doctor would be on hand to administer to any stinging skin and we'd...

As we seem to be settling into a pattern of selling the cream of our youth team as they start to get into the first team, I'm interested in the costs to the club to generate the income. If we assume we train the kids from 8 to 18 (random assumption) and we recoup £1.5m per year from sales, how...

I do a bit of online selling to supplement my wages. This website is a portal to several low cost couriers. Two weekends ago I sent 5 parcels with them, paying slightly less than Royal Mail, I followed the instructions to the letter - enter the mass - select a service - acknowledge that the...

Jaguar has announced that it plans to significantly grow car production and invest heavily in electric cars and battery technology (partnering with Warwick Uni). Although they haven't mentioned any numbers speculation is that it could create over 10,000 jobs in the Coventry area. I think this...

Nick's already shared on another thread that he gets in touch with his feminine side when he's had a few (note - this is not true). Glen gets very happy and optimistic and Grendel almost certainly sings "The Red Flag" at 20 decibels and tells everyone what it will be like after the revolution...

... is now out. http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/all-about/coventry-city-fc Hope it's true.

This is quite fun http://www.clubwebsite.co.uk/news/2016/05/19/22-amateur-footballers-versus-11-professionals/

I know, not funny; but it had to be done.

Photo from CET site. Having worked in the City for more than 25 years, this picture represents, to me, the rat race I have come to hate: 1. The senior who is working on 10+ projects at a time, takes the plaudits and presents the results; 2. The two juniors, who do all the hard work and long...

Is it a coincidence that all the games we have lost since autumn have been the ones that Clapham has insisted we play "the Clapham Way"? He has probably insisted that we play without shape in defence and quite possibly is the reason for the poor form. Jamie - do the right thing and resign.
