    Valencia recommendations

    Craft beers, and lots of them now. The industry is growing quickly and it's pretty high quality. Look for ("Er Boqueron" which is really made using sea water and tastes very refreshing with not a hint of salt! Not as cheap as ordering a draft beer but far more deliciouos. Loads of good...

    Buying property abroad

    Some great value in the Alicante and Valencia area at the moment. I know a few property agents if anyone wants a contact.

    Epsom Under 11s at Wembley last Sunday

    I wasn't the only Brighton fan cheering on Cleethorpes at Wembley on Sunday. A little lad was there in his Brighton shirt so I spoke to him after the game. Apparently he was there with his team, an under-11s side from Epsom. What a polite young man he was. Don't suppose the parents are here on NSC?

    Non League Finals Day

    Yes it is. Cracking value if you want to give kids a taste of Wembley.

    Non League Finals Day

    Is anyone else going on Sunday to check out Wembley ahead of our trip there next season?! I'll be supporting Cleethorpes Town. Tickets are still available at http://www.wembleystadium.com/Events/2017/Non-League-Finals-Day/Non-League-Finals-Day

    Villa tickets

    I got my refund today within hours of complaining on PayPal that their T&Cs had changed since the purchase was made.

    Villa tickets

    I've emailed them politely thanking them for advising me in good time but saying that I do not recall such a warning when I made the transaction and requesting a refund. No point getting irate about it just yet!

    Villa tickets

    I'm glad it's not just me who thinks they only mentioned Birmingham. Quite a shock to see that on the website today.

    Villa tickets

    Just received this from Seatwave: "We are unable to provide you tickets for this game as we are not allowing sales to anyone who has not purchased tickets with Aston Villa previously." Also looks like they will not refund the money they have already taken! Did anyone else do this?

    Pre season friendlies

    It seems they really enjoyed their mini-break to Valencia so I'd love them to return to the region for a pre-season tour.

    Watching the game today in Spain

    For NowTV to work you would need a good VPN. Where are you in Spain? Not close enough to me to come and watch it in the comfort of my lounge I bet! This normally works well enough: http://cricfree.sc/sky-sports-1-live-stream-ss-1 Russ (in Guardamar, Alicante)

    The rain in Spain

    Pretty nasty on the Alicante coast. We were cut off from our town last night but the sun has broken through at last this morning so might go out and see how much damage there was around us. Looks like we have paddy fields all around us! We did have one stretch of almost 12 hours of continuous...

    Seagulls Bar, Phnom Penh Cambodia

    Does anyone know if the Seagulls Bar in Phnom Penh is still going? I'll be there at the end of January. Searching online suggests it didn't make it as there are no updates on their Facebook page for a long, long time and no other online presence.

    22 Press-ups for Combat Stress

    Is anyone else doing this challenge at the moment. Ok, not too challenging, but I'm trying to do mine in interesting places, and I will still be doing this when we go to Derby. I thought if anyone else was doing it then a video of a group of fans doing press-ups together might work well!

    Spanish Second Division Strikers

    We've done well to get Ulloa and Hemed from the Spanish Second Division but not such rich pickings this year. Here's the top three: 1. Sergio León Limones scored 22 in 41 games for a pretty poor Elche side but could we really have a player whose surname is "Lemons"? 2. Florin Andone scored 21...

    The Official Where are you going this summer thread

    I was serious about Birmingham by the way. I'll be working at Birmingham City University for 7 weeks from the end of July. Hoping Villa away is very early in the season!
