The usual lot are spouting hyperbolic nonsense about the build of #Coventry's #Binley cycleway. "Marooned", really? Complaining about blocking hospital access while saying it happens anyway? Misattributing issues from too many cars to a scheme that can help reduce dependency? That's the real madness.

The Selecter, Celebrate the Bullet, 1981 on Chrysalis

The Selecter were a Coventry band on 2 Tone; Celebrate the Bullet was their second album, following Too Much Pressure. Neol Davies, Pauline Black, and Arthur Hendrickson did most of the songwriting here, with production by Roger Lomas.

My copy—via Lucky Records in Reykjavik—is a 1981 Santa Maria pressing.

#Coventry Very Light Rail has hit #HackerNews. Since I have indeed travelled by bus through Coventry, recently even, I have tried to enlighten the Norteamericanos with various amusing facts.

Not the least of which is that they had to close down from full-duplex to half-duplex, with temporary traffic lights, one of the major bus routes from Warwickshire into Coventry in order to put up the demonstrator for a local councillor to sit in.

I haven't yet told them that this is but a few metres north of the site of the erstwhile Coventry Drone-o-port. (-:
