Well that and the fact that's its about what a sh!t hole Coventry is (was).
It's not really, it's about urban decay in all of Britain's cities, in particular Liverpool and Glasgow. The Specials were on tour when the song was written and witnessed particular incidences of decay, violence and poverty in both cities and the Brixton riots were ongoing as the lyrics were being finalised and the song recorded.

For sure. A massive hit at the time, it very much summed up the zeitgeist of the early-Thatcher-era in Blighty.
According to the Grauniad's Robert Kitson, we'd want to keep an good eye on Danny Cipriani too, who apparently has been playing sublimely the last few weeks:

Hang on, he's an inconsistent player. He was terrible for Wasps for most of last season.
Ruddock's tackle stats consistently too low for me to be taken seriously as a Six Nations blindside..... Ruddock's defensive stats don't stack up. - All Blacks Nil, Jan 15th, 2014

It's a new destination for me, any suggestions?
Am tempted to wait for OLSC charter info.

I normally do Dublin Gatwick return Ryanair, then Gatwick Toulouse return Easyjet.

Hi Eddie
Couple of us have booked airfrance Dublin to Paris CDG then Paris Orly to Toulouse leave at 6am arriving 1pm Sunday. Cheapest we could find on day of. Coming back same way Monday morning.
Montpellier beat Toulouse 66-15 in the Top 14 this afternoon. Toulouse fielded a very callow side and were already 21-3 down when their no.4 was red carded for a tip tackle in the 17th minute.
Bath seem to be in a bit of a state. They've released a statement saying that Booth and another coach are leaving at the end of the season, and that Blackadder has signed an extension but will be replaced by Stuart Hooper after that. I think the statement was meant to provide certainty but to me it just looks like they're a mess.
