Ha ha. And such a great word.

Yep, the Old Star is great. Recommended. They just create an easy, welcoming atmosphere and always a decent pint (and it always is a pint).

All this Two Tier nonsense. It’s so dull when people just parrot whatever is their latest party line.

A very welcome three points.

I read an interesting piece about Trump supporters who know his personality but they are unconcerned as their big picture is that the US is failing (for them at least) and he is one person who shares that view. I was chatting with a friend the other day and he felt as a white, middle-aged...

Smokers for Celibacy - Fleur Adcock Some of us are a little tired of hearing that cigarettes kill. We'd like to warn you about another way of making yourself ill: we suggest that in view of AIDS, herpes, chlamydia, cystitis and NSU, not to mention genital warts and cervical cancer and the...

Far too close to the knuckle …….. funnily I was thinking about starting a poetry thread.

Couple of pints of Harvey’s in the rebranded White Horses (formerly without the plural) in Rotters. I was going to say no longer Greene King (hurrah) but just checked and it is - but part of their hotel chain (boo). Food very good btw.

Under Milk Wood is meant to be listened to. It’s for voices. I started reading it but it only came alive listening to that Richard Burton version. Who couldn’t love Morgan the Organ and his liking for Johann Sebastian Bach. Every time.

I have considered Proust but I’m just not sure I’ve got it in me. I did have the most delicious madeleine earlier in the summer in south east France that gave me encouragement.

I think that’s brilliant.

I wonder what’s happening there. A couple of years ago it appeared Alford were looking to climb the divisions. When they put in a new stand I was told they managed to get some claret Burnley seats - perfect colour.

I gave up reading Dickens in the original text. I have read and really enjoyed abridged versions. I put it down to the originals being written for periodicals and so the cliff hanger element called for multiple characters and plots which for me didn’t make an enjoyable read. Perhaps it’s time to...

My sister in law used to buy me the Booker Prize winner each year for Christmas. I didn’t read Wolf Hall (not more from the well mined Tudor seam) and was about to give it and Bring up the Bodies to the library (unread hardbacks) when I thought it seemed a bit ungrateful not to give them a go...

We were going on a touring holiday and my darling had thought the time in the car might maybe easier listening to this. I anted to switch it off by the top of the M23 but we got as far as Leicester. Absolute codswallop to me.

Quite a few tbh. Sometimes books get written that I think should have been a magazine article, and I just question whether I’m actually that interested. Of course I am sure I have missed out on some classics but that’s ok.

Oh Loz, you think last season suggests Pakace were a better run club last season.

Really enjoyable afternoon at Lewes. Big crowd. Sun shining. Harvey’s. Two good teams. Great atmosphere. Terrace. Pint in hand.

The Isthmian Monday games were scheduled for 3pm which seems a worse time than 11am tbh. Broadbridge Heath rescheduled for Tuesday evening (again I’ll be at the Amex).

Rochdale at Withdean was the wettest I’ve been at a match. And I think it was 3-4.
