    In the war; Henry Irving will endorse this fact.
    The People of Britain sang "Hitler has only got one ball"
    and would do the goose step and mock the Nazis

    I see to recall singing the hitter has only got one ball song at school in the '80s.

    Can't remember why now. Probably to relieve the grimness of growing up in Coventry.
    Coventry had more building bombed than anywhere else in Britain on a % of size. so i guess the song had been passed down from older Coventry folk.
    Where does the saying "sent to Coventry" come from?
    It's been traced back to the English Civil war and the first battle of Edge hill in Warwickshire in Oct 1662. Even thou the battle was a score draw;
    the Royalist who were captured by the Roundheads, were sent to the city of Coventry which was a parliamentarian stronghold.
    They were imprisoned and shunned by the locals.

    Not a lot of people know that.
    Well you learn something new everyday. I always thought it was derived from the Royal Navy where if somebody did something to upset their comrades they were 'sent to Coventry' because Coventry is the point on the map of Great Britain that is furthest from the sea.
    I thought it had to do with the guilds and livery companies, particularly those connected with cloth and clothing. Apprentices not considered up to snuff in their particular field in London would transfer to the next closest town (where standards were supposedly not as demanding) where there were weavers and mercers guilds etc in which they could continue their apprenticeship. That town was Coventry.

    Have you ever been to Coventry?

    If in doubt ask NLA he loves them almost as much as Charlton.
    Disgraceful. If you knew what the people of Coventry had to put up with you wouldn't be so quick to laugh.
    If only Henry Tandey hadn't been such a gent.

    Can't believe the first thing I did when I woke up this morning, before even having my morning bladder empty, was to check this thread. I really need to get a life.

    Huh.

    Trouble with men is they can't multi task...

    Is that @cabbles engagement ring she's wearing?

    If so, she needs to know - it looks like it's made of plastic.
    Was this photo taken before you started inciting riots?
    Ask @praqueaddick he was there with a few other lifers. @paulie @addickinsw16
    It wasn't JUST me sir, they did it too.

    It's just a bit of water retention and loose muscle, don't remember him having the Lego hair and goatee 20 years ago though
