He should do a new release no more than twelve hours after the last one.
There is so much one can do with tiles.

You can normally tell by looking at their boat, to see if there's a roof on it

Can be extended to "chuffed to bits" if one is really happy.

Invader news on new release tomorrow, by Coach on Nov 18, 2014 21:08:11 GMT 1, I believe "Coventry" was an old wooden ship. Really? I'm going to have to explore this further.
From a phrases website: "The origins of this phrase aren't known, although it is quite probable that events in Coventry in the English Civil War in the 1640s play a part. For those not familiar with the UK, Coventry is an industrial city in Warwickshire, England. It is well-known for its two cathedrals; the modern cathedral being built in 1962 to replace the old cathedral, which was destroyed during an intense German bombing raid in 1940.
In the 17th century, when this phrase is supposed to have originated, Coventry was a small town. It has been suggested that the phrase, although we now use it in an allusory sense, originated from people being actually sent there.
The story - and it is no more than that - is that Cromwell sent a group of Royalist soldiers to be imprisoned in Coventry, around 1648. The locals, who were parliamentary supporters, shunned them and refused to consort with them.
The first known citation of the allusory meaning is from the Club Book of the Tarporley Hunt, 1765:
"Mr. John Barry having sent the Fox Hounds to a different place to what was ordered ... was sent to Coventry, but return'd upon giving six bottles of Claret to the Hunt.""

It's mental. Not for the faint hearted. There are no seperate slip roads on and off. Just gaps that run out very quickly, to be replaced by concrete. Everyone getting on and off the ring road have to do so in the same gap!
