    [Misc] Don't open this link unless you have time to waste

    I could list the northen line in order on both branches and perhaps the Victoria line but I'd struggle with the rest, it's such an incredible network with so many stations in a relatively small area.

    [Sussex] Northern Lights...

    We booked Tromso for Whale watching, the fjords and northern lights (among other things). Ended up seeing everything but the northern lights! As much as I'd love to see them in the UK I'm not sure it would get anywhere close to actually seeing them where they're at their most vivid.

    [Albion] Albion adds over £600m to the local economy

    I wonder what a 40k city centre stadium would bring in. The club would make huge sums from conferences and live music events alone and those guests would bring in 10's of millions more to the city.

    [News] Croydon

    I appreciate it's always been a sightly unfashionable place and had a higher crime rate than comparable sized towns but it used to have a busy and vibrant nightlife. Away from the loafer and moschino shirt hang outs like the blue orchid, South End had a host of bars and pubs with decent live...

    [Misc] Evolution as a species. Where are we going?

    Humans will be extinct as a species before we'd see any noticible evolutionary changes.

    [Albion] Positives from Today (Everton)

    One huge negative is that Palace are now 3 points behind us with 4 games that on paper look very winnable.

    [Albion] Positives from Today (Everton)

    When we're in a different period I try and look at the bigger picture. That bigger picture looks pretty damm good at the moment, despite this difficult period we still find ourselves in the top 6 with more wins than losses/draws. A win on Thursday could very well see us top arguably the...

    [Albion] Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    Might not have been our best performance but back in top 6 and picked up a point against a team who I was convinced we'd unfairly lose to.

    [Albion] Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    A narrow loss today I feel. Not convinced we have an answer for teams who sit back and look to counter. Would just be good to keep the injuries down for next Thursday

    [Albion] Sean Dyche pre-Albion press conference

    This is exactly how I took his comments, just provided a bit of balance. Shows that he has a decent understanding on our journey to where we are now.

    [Albion] Sean Dyche pre-Albion press conference

    To be fair and it won't be a popular opinion but we spent hugest sums of money getting into the premier league and signed lots of duds along the way. We quite rightly get praised for our recruitment strategy but people rarely reference how we got there. Whilst it includes the stadium and...

    [Albion] New proposed fan zone

    You could be right of course but there was no incentive for them to let in more people as they were paid the same regardless.

    [Albion] New proposed fan zone

    I worked in a pub that had a strict capacity, on the weekend the doorstaff counted ins and and outs. The capacity was 280 and it felt packed to the rafters more like 1000, I think its deceptive.

    http://www.horshamseagull.co.uk/2011/07/dicks-bar-at-amex.html?m=1 This blog says 200 which sounds about right

    [Albion] New proposed fan zone

    No idea of the capacity of dicks bar but my experience in pubs whatever the think the capacity is you can normally at least half. I wouldn't be surprised if the capacity is maximum 300

    [Albion] And these are the sentences for stabbing somebody !!!!

    I mostly agree with your POV but I think wounding with a deadly weapon should carry a mandatory custodial sentence regardless or age. I appreciate one did get 5 months but I think at least a year is appropriate, these convictions are neither a deterrent or provide much oppertunity for...

    [Albion] Was there a better site than Falmer

    I dont know anything about transport or have any solutions for what is clearly a huge issue on matchdays but there's probably at least 400 thousand pasenger journeys being paid for by supporters a season. This deserves better planning and investment from the transport providers IMO.

    [Albion] New proposed fan zone

    Agreed would be better to apply for match day use only then apply for a change of use later. No planning expert but seems to be the normal way people go about things. Start with the gentle peck on the cheek and go for smashing the backdoors in later

    [Albion] Was there a better site than Falmer

    What about this site, definelty enough room for a stadium, central location... just need another 10 Caicedos and jobs a goodun. On a serious note, a 30 plus thousand seater stadium somewhere in Brighton would have been a huge boost to the city economy but we'd never have got to that point...

    [Albion] New proposed fan zone

    I hope when you're watching the big game, noodles dripping down your chin, a slut on one arm table football handle on the other, tapping your feet to Elton and off you're tree on NOS you'll spare a thought for those poor bats who've been randomly hitting things since 2011
