    This seems to be a often mentioned one amongst experts isnt it, as a bit of a gem

    Maybe this could be a Xmas purchase

    Whisky drips from Satan's anus. Awful stuff. My hatred stems from downing a litre of Bells when I was fourteen and nearly dying as a result. I had my stomach pumped and the vomit was coming out of my hooter. I'll never forget that.

    Now vodka is a different story. I loved the stuff.

    I am not a big fan of spirits although I have always been partial to a vodka and orange.

    Over here they pour the dose in front of you and you receive a very healthy double for around £1.50<party>

    As @TwoWrights seems to like a beer perhaps this thread can become a bit more active.

    Years ago, us playing today's opponents Coventry would have meant a visit to The Rocket, this was bang outside the station. For home games they would open well before 11. It was alright and a good opportunity to brace yourselves for the awful walk to Highfield Road with the underpasses which were a nightmare to negotiate.

    Never really drank in Coventry, I was usually the driver and we'd stop somewhere outside of the city then travel in. We were the first away team to win at their new stadium, and afterwards had their local radio station on while waiting in traffic. One pillock came on saying they should be beating teams like us with ease, and we weren't fit to be in the same league. Oh how we laughed. :emoticon-0138-think

    The mighty Coventry!

    Having said that, London laughed when they won the cup in '87, totteringham are the most despised club in London.

    The 'no one got bombed like us in the war' Coventry, which is bollocks. Outside of London, Hull was the most heavily bombed city/town in the country. The censor kept it quiet and just reported 'a north east coast town was bombed'. It also had the last civilian fatalities from manned German aircraft of the war, 13 killed by fragmentation bombs and machine gun fire on 17th March 1945. :emoticon-0138-think

    Ouch.
    Poor losers the Hun. Machine-gunning civilians from the air.

    Coventry did have the best away kit ever though - the 'chocolate' one of 1978 :1980_boogie_down:

    Speaking of Coventry, last weekend whilst at a shopping centre on the Central Coast of Nsw here, a British guy seemed to be curiously checking out my shirt/jersey as he walked past, once realised it was CAFC he was all smiles as he said "refreshing to see a real shirt', I said you probably thought it was Liverpool from afar right.

    He pointed to his chest flashing his Coventry jersey, great little exchange it was from a stranger - in the far corners of Australia and due to being a Charlton fan.

    Footballer fans are genuinely a friendly bunch - can’t speak for all though <doh>
