You're really selling the place Yets

Its got a sports centre shaped like an elephant

If you look at it from an as yet, undiscovered angle

The Burges is the street where its really happening though I walked up there in my lunch break and some man fell out of a pub with stab wounds all over his torso.

You get fantastic karaoke starting at 10.30am in Club Release as well, everone in there is fucked by 12

He's not exagerrating folks! One place I haven't dared go in yet.

Having said that I'm going on a Far Gosford St drinking spree tomorrow evening. Last time I did that there were people already staggering and screaming by 8pm.

I want to go to the carry-jokey bar

 

[Yetman]

Yeah I had to leave

And no, you really dont want to go there Zenie.....seriously....its in the middle of one of the main streets in Cov and is full of the absolute pits of society every day by 11am, dole day is even worse - they are all there in their mad trousers blasting out terrible renditions of 'I will always love you' while slow dancing and drinking one bottle of WKD blue that probably gets topped up with bleach every 2 minutes to last em the morning.

Fuck there sounds like a story ther Pm's!!

The place sounds great, a bit like the social club in Shameless

I wanna go

Be warned Club Release has a strict dress code: heavily stained tracksuits only.

 

[Yetman]

The social club in Shameless is like Pacha compared to this place Zeen. The amount of weird mullet sporting sockless freaks in there is unbelievable - they are all snogging and shit as well, its disgusting, you can see them as you walk past with your bacon sarnie or whatever while DJ Nigel shouts 'are you ready for thiiiiiiiiis' and then plays 2Unlimited while they try and breakdance but just end up falling over while holding onto each other and you look on shaking your head, thankful that there are still levels you have not yet stooped.

It has to be said that Coventry isn't one of the prettiest cities in the UK - but you can't blame the place for that. What was once a beautiful medieval city was bombed into near-oblivion during World War 2 - and to add insult to injury it suffered from some seriously misguided rebuilding in

My Grandparents- on my mums side, were in Coventry on the night of the firestorm. They were in a convoy relocating the factory my granddad worked in. They stoped in Coventry for the evening meal and wondered about sleeping in the trucks there or pushing on. They decided to go on…

a wise choice. it's really interesting hearing the stories of people still in cov that lived through it. truly horrific.

We played a show in the arts venue. Architecturally, it's a bit of a tough city to love although the cathedral was a moving experience.

 

[Fuzzy]

excellent. we've still got the hangover from the 1950s architecture and choice of materials in vogue at the time, coupled with what were novel concepts in urban planning at the time. unfortunately time has told that sticking a noose around the city centre in thr form of a ring road doesn't really allow the city centre to grow.

The ruined cathedral is a crater never to be filled, a place to contemplate forgiveness.
