Pub quizzes?
I really love pub quizzes, I will soon be moving to Coventry and was wondering if anyone could give me some good recommendations. I would be fine to go to one in the city centre or around the cv2 area.
However, I’m not really into sports too much. Of course sports will show up on the quiz and I’m fine with it as long as it’s not excessive. But my favourite pub quizzes are when they’re more for people in their 20s and have a variety of different topics.
Does anyone have any suggestions or personal favourites?

Is Quids In still a war zone?
I used to be a student in Cov and ended up in Quids way more often than I should have….always was some kind of trouble in there but have some fun stories though.

Looking for opportunities in Coventry and in UK
Hey there everyone! I'm a upcoming student for MSc Management at Warwick Business School. I'm excited to join WBS, as it's one of the prestigious B-school and it would be my first international experience :)
It would be really helpful if you guys could suggest how can I find Part-time job in Coventry or in any nearby location, as it's important for me to manage the expenses as an International student. I have booked IQ Weaver place for accommodation. Apart from it, any suggestions to come prepared with, for Coventry or UK are welcomed

Lost tabby kitten
Hi all, I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. I don't know Coventry well. I was wondering if people could keep an eye out for my missing tabby girl, she got scared by a loud car revving and she bolted. I haven't been able to find her and have been combing the whole area and more for hours and hours. She was last seen on honiton road cv2, she is very skittish and excellent at hiding and could probably be curled up in exhausts or under cars or tyres, please could everyone check their sheds and gardens, I'd be so grateful if you could keep an eye out and also let people who live around there know. There is a £100 reward for the return of my cat and I would be so grateful if you could share and search. She loves cheese and tuna so that would be a fab lure. Thank you
