Ah, the old 'Tiger Moth'...

Changing it's name to the 'Coventry Arms' didn't do it's shite-house reputation much good did it?

What a delapidated boil on the arse of pub-kind that place is...

But I do have a story about a time when I was in there...

They were blatantly advertising a Man City Vs Man Utd game one time...even though it wasn't on SKY or cable and was a 3pm kick off (one of the pub's many 'attractions' is illegal Turkish TV), when a mate of mine and I decided to check it out.

We walked in to the usual evil stares and threats of death and were preparing to run for the exits...

When all of a sudden their receiver box knackered up and a mini riot ensued.

Amongst the chaos, My mate and I had a word with the poor barmaid, and I was allowed to have a look at the set-top-box.


And I fixed it.

Riot stopped.

Of course, loads of other 'standard' fights kicked off during the match, but my mate and I were left in an untouched semi circle in the eye of the storm, because I was the 'bloke who sorted the telly out'

Nowadays I wouldn't dream of going in there unless there was a Captain Placid to fend off the oiks...

Fancy a pint later CP? (somewhere else, obviously)

*clicks damned hard btw*
