You mean Paul Owen.
Paul King sang 'Love and Pride' - and whenever I see a TV ad for 'Oven Pride' I am reminded of said shit record and think to myself that the makers of Oven Pride missed a trick when they failed to use the song on their ads. As you were.

As the risk of revealing myself as the whiny beakering bitch I am, my biggest waste of time is spent trying to reason with the mother of my child. I'll try not to mention it again as I am painfully aware of how tedious it is for me let alone anyone else.

Alt: Anyone with a physical tic or speech impediment should be forced to stand in a bin in the middle of the office and have kettles of boiling water poured over them whilst all the other staff do impressions of them - the person responsible for the most cruel/accurate of which gets sent home for the rest of the day with £50 for the boozer. Team building, you see.

Gravel Pit is actually about the town centre

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Wed 9 May 2012, 8:57, Reply)

It's about their nans' growlers.

A gravel pit would be a marked improvement on the City centre

It's a hotbed of talent alright.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Wed 9 May 2012, 8:48, Reply)

There have been a few
The Specials, The Selecter, Hazel O'Connor, Kristy Gallacher in the music shere. Clive Owen the actor and Gez McGovern (design Director of JLR) also hail from the lovely Coventry.

Yeah, we always seem to celebrate the wrong ones ^ and overlook the real talent though:
Philip Larkin, Delia Derbyshire, The Sorrows, The Orchids, Lee Dorrian, etc.
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Wed 9 May 2012, 9:03, Reply)

Lee Dorrian is a splendid fellow
whose expert knowledge of obscure late 60s/early 70s British psych/rock is pretty much second to none.

And as we know, Don Fardon is certainly a superb Brit soul/rock vocalist.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 9 May 2012, 9:08, Reply)

It seems a bit odd that Lee Dorrian, one of the men responsible for the rise of grindcore in this country
Is an expert in such a field...

Who, Don or Lee?

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 9 May 2012, 9:16, Reply)

The Specials and the Selecter had their hearts in the right place
but I put it to you that their actual records were shite, especially when held up against the proper Jamaican ska which inspired them.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 9 May 2012, 9:12, Reply)

Indeed. Their best songs were covers.
Jerry Dammers would make my list, but not the others, as he refused to join in the reunion rehashing of former glories preferring to look forward rather than backwards, with his Spatial AKA Orchestra.

He always did IIRC!

Sadly the fluoridation of Coventry's water supply came a little too late for our Jerry.
