Not been Woodway Park for about ten years. Grace Academy Coventry now.
I used to have kickabouts there - are you referring to the ones off Woodway Lane? I believe there used to be a running track owned by the school - that land was then sold off and became the Woodway Park of today
I'm referring to the playing fields in the middle of Woodway Lane - it's commonly referred to as 'Woodway Park' since there is a playing area in it as wellNot been Woodway Park for about ten years. Grace Academy Coventry now.

I can certainly resonate with that in some areas, but I think it's more a general apathy and work ethic really holding me back. I'm competitive, possibly too much so at times, but if I'm challenged, I'm much more likely to excel.Just out of interest are you a perfectionist? Procrastination is often a sign of it because the anger and frustration of not doing something as well as you like is so huge the slight remorse of not doing anything and wasting time is far preferable.
sounds like David Brent popping back into the office after being mad redundantI miss the people and contact when I left my company - they knew my sense of humour and we had great banter - worked with many people around Europe and felt lucky to have met so many - keep in contact with some but I am very conscience that they are working when I ring and I don’t want to intrude on their time !

As I work for myself my customers are my workmates I guess. I'm planning retiring next year. I've got to know so many on the round there are some who don't want me to finish, I suppose they are so used to seeing me over the years. But Ive said if I'm still fit etc I'll carry on ? Probably snuff it up the ladder ! Land in a heap with my head in the bucket ! They'll say at least he went as he would have wished. At least we don't have to pay him now.
I've been slowly rehearsing for it. Doing some half days to see how I get on etc. And as we've had some rain that also has laid me off. I've enjoyed writing football articles for the 2 magazines I write for, plenty of research etc. But still unpaid. And listening to plenty of music too.if you do retire B how will you fill your days?

Great question!! I’m most proud of my children rather than anything in my own life. I’m constantly disappointed by how I fail at most thingsBeen talking about an ex City player on Twitter today Bobby Parker. He used to live by Cardinal Wiseman fields growing up, and would join in our kick abouts there. He ended up playing for Cov City and captained England's youth team too. But his career tailed off and he ended up at Carlisle and faded away from the limelight. Got me thinking. Do you reckon you have fulfilled your potential in a chosen career, or in life ? Or have you also failed and ended up frustrated at what could have been ?

You said it - you are proud of them - whatever you did it was the right thing - a constant faliure is a continual trier - not such a bad thingGreat question!! I’m most proud of my children rather than anything in my own life. I’m constantly disappointed by how I fail at most things
I think they get bored after a couple of hoursHe's an entertainer first and an employee second, yeah.

I assume you mean the old Wiseman Running track near the Black Pad? When they built the nearby Barratt estate in the mid 90s the council seemed to stop maintaining it completely. I used to play there occasionally.I'm referring to the playing fields in the middle of Woodway Lane - it's commonly referred to as 'Woodway Park' since there is a playing area in it as well
Yes that one - am I right in thinking that the athletics track was 'grassed over'?I assume you mean the old Wiseman Running track near the Black Pad? When they built the nearby Barratt estate in the mid 90s the council seemed to stop maintaining it completely. I used to play there occasionally.
No track there anymore.Yes that one - am I right in thinking that the athletics track was 'grassed over'?
Not too dissimilar to me. Should have studied and gone to Uni which is a bit of a regret and then knocked around doing Admin jobs for about 8 years before a change in my personal life saw me head off travelling which I then did quite a bit of between 2006-2015.I coast along tbh. I could have stayed on in school and went to university but I lack drive.
I've found myself fortunate to be in a well paid job where I'm the odd one out amongst my colleagues in having no degree or A levels (apart from a specific professional qualification).
If you can blag your way then why not - exams ain’t everything - if you are earning a decent crust - carry on remember Alan Sugar was a barrow boy - no exams !Not too dissimilar to me.

In that time I literally stumbled into the office I am in now and since then have grafted my arse off and got myself a couple of promotions into a Regional Manager position and now earn half decent money and still get to travel (off to Slovakia in the morning!).
However, can be awkward when I continually get asked what I studied and my answer is well I have an NVQ 2 in Business Administration whilst managing people with degrees from Russell Group universities!
Yeah well I think it just got overgrown than designed outYes that one - am I right in thinking that the athletics track was 'grassed over'?
Too be fair I didn’t blag it and have earned it but yeah I have no problem with not having a degree, it’s more the perception that anyone of a certain position must have a degree.If you can blag your way then why not - exams ain’t everything - if you are earning a decent crust - carry on remember Alan Sugar was a barrow boy - no exams !
Obviously a degree isn't irrelevant, but I hate people who pre-judge based on qualifications. If you're a decent manager, they won't (or shouldn't anyway) care.However, can be awkward when I continually get asked what I studied and my answer is well I have an NVQ 2 in Business Administration whilst managing people with degrees from Russell Group universities!
