    [Politics] People You'd Rather See As Leader of the Tory Party/HMG

    Yes, don’t deny that managing Brexit is difficult but I cannot support May for two reasons. Firstly, she’s clearly no leader. Her speeches are terrible and she usually looks terrified at any set piece occasion. Secondly, and worse, she’s politically cowardly. It’s perfectly obvious that no one...

    [Albion] Which new Albion player has impressed you the most?

    Bit ironic given the hammering they got after the failure to get a striker or two but a well deserved accolade. If Locadia does the business then we really will be going somewhere (hopefully right up the table next season)! Ryan for me though is the best (just). He’s saved us a load of points...

    [Help] A request for advice concerning a bizarre car 'accident' and insurance kerfuffle

    Hastings Direct are possibly the worst company I’ve ever dealt with; shambolic administration and totally incompetent so I wouldn’t draw too many conclusions from that experience. My daughter used them and had an accident (totally her fault and admitted as such). We were still dealing with the...

    [Albion] To reach the next level...

    I still think they’ve got the talent to step up to this level though I agree neither have pulled up trees yet. March has been the bigger disappointment for me. He looks totally devoid of confidence and is a shadow of the player he’s promised to be in recent seasons. Knocky has shown flashes of...

    [Albion] To reach the next level...

    Kind of a circular argument. Given the money available to all Premier League teams, most of them will be able to improve year on year. The question really is where are we weakest? Defence is clearly pretty solid already. Attack is probably ok, if Locadia works out, though we can hardly expect...

    [News] Doddy’s Dead

    No, I admired his stamina but my wife and I went to one of his shows in Worthing about five years ago and left after half an hour or so without managing to laugh once. Couldn’t wait to get out to be honest. Maybe he was having a bad night but there didn’t seem to be many other people laughing...

    [Albion] How much of our success is down to Chris Hughton?

    Don’t have any concrete evidence just what was reported on NSC (hardly a totally reliable source!). Whatever the reality, our signings last summer have been uniformly excellent. My only regret is that we didn’t get Locadia and Ulloa at the same time. If we had, we might be totally safe by now...

    [Albion] How much of our success is down to Chris Hughton?

    Thought I heard there was some discord after last summer’s failure to sign any striker though it wasn’t a very public falling out? Running any top club is a big team effort these days but clearly Hughton must take a large share of credit for recent success since by most measures we’re...

    [Football] Jack Wilshere

    Wilshere is exactly the sort of player we need in midfield I believe. Very positive bringing the ball forward, comfortable on the ball and can go past defenders at pace. We often had two or three players trying to stop him and he still came away with the ball more often than not. Stephens and...

    [Albion] Schelotto injury

    Have watched the clip several times. Kolasinac clearly knows that Schelotto is there and going to head the ball. The nature of his challenge is bound to put Schelotto in danger and is at least as bad as a high boot or swinging an elbow at another player in my view. Only possible defence is...

    [News] The question reporters SHOULD have been asking stranded motorists

    Understand the argument re needing to work though risking your life and others for the sake of a day’s pay seems a bit disproportionate to me? What I don’t understand is when people don’t make any effort to prepare for the conditions e.g. take warm clothes, food and drink, bring a spade etc...

    [Politics] Brexit

    Spot on. By far the best of her three speeches and seemed to be aimed as much at the swivel-eyed Brexit loons as the EU? Suggests that the pragmatists in the Cabinet might be holding sway over the hard-liners? Think the DUP are likely to be concerned though as there was a hint of a “special”...

    [Misc] Does anyone use one of the 'small' suppliers for gas & electric

    Been using Avro for over a year. No problems with them as long as you’re computer literate and use the Internet for your account. Did a price comparison after first contract expired and found they were still the cheapest though I went back to their customer service and they suggested an even...

    [Albion] Where can I drop off sleeping bags for homeless ?

    If they do, I’ve found an app called Streetlink which enables you to let the local council/charities know there’s a homeless person who may need help..... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    [Albion] Player ratings vs Swansea (h)

    It does look like the team has got the plot with Izquierdo too and are getting the ball to him quickly behind the defence. Didn’t look like they trusted him earlier in the season. Now he’s sought out so often Knocky’s not seeing the ball for periods of the game, at least that was the case...

    [Politics] Will Brexit Actually Happen

    Don’t think being in the customs union implies freedom of movement; that’s a consequence of being in the single market BUT it would mean we can’t do our own trade deals. Interesting to find out what the many Brexiteers on these threads regard as their own red lines and the likelihood of...

    [TV] McMafia

    I enjoyed the series overall and found the storyline both gripping and probably realistic (don’t have much experience of the Russian Mafia!). I did find James Norton very one-dimensional though. He glided through the entire series with barely any change in his standard inscrutable expression...

    [Politics] Will Brexit Actually Happen

    I’m increasingly of the opinion that we’ll either end staying in the EU (probably on worse terms) or leave with no deal at all as the incompetence of the Government and contradictions of our red lines (e.g. Irish border, which has now become absolutely key due to the power of the DUP) play out...

    [Help] Help needed - child with anger problems

    Haven’t read through this whole thread but it might be worth looking at diet. My stepdaughter has ADHD and is a real problem child (now 20 and still very, very difficult). I’m convinced that this has been made considerably worse by her diet which has changed from being pretty healthy to 100%...
