    [Albion] Crawley tickets

    But no mention whether there is/isn’t any park n ride in place. Not handy when all the parking is already sold out

    [Football] Team GB men’s football team for LA 2028?

    These need to be kept. It’s subjective shit like dressage and street dancing that need to be chopped IMHO

    [Other Sport] 2024 Tour de France

    Agree. Also saw a comment on coverage (though can’t remember who) saying that cycling has widened its appeal tremendously over the last few years and they’re getting athletes in the sport who would previously taken their abilities elsewhere. As the pool of talent gets bigger it also gets better...

    [Travel] Tourism Backlash

    For 20 odd years me and Mrs S owned a second home on the Costa Blanca. It was in an urbanisation aimed specifically at second home owners. We loved it and used it. We also rented it out though we did notice that the urbanisation was very quiet whenever we went there. I did mention to my local...

    [Food] World's Best Chocolate Competition - The Nominations

    Red bounty or blue bounty? Significant difference

    [Albion] Lallana On Brighton Departure

    Agree that a lot of what he did wasn’t easy to appreciate from the stand. The best I saw of him was in the 3-2 win over Man City when only about 8,000 of us were allowed in. All the time we were behind he was always involved in getting attacks started and you could hear him geeing up players...

    [Misc] Advice on elderly parent / (possible) dementia / hospital discharge type stuff

    My thoughts go out to you Bozza. as others have said this sounds like dementia but you really need to get a diagnosis. That in itself will open doors. We had the same problem 4 years ago with the mother in law. It’s better to be on the front foot and picking where you want her to go rather...

    [Albion] Brighton v Chelsea highlights 1973

    Thanks for posting. This was my first ever Albion game, 7 years old up in the west stand with my dad because the guy who normally sat next to him couldn’t go. I don’t really remember much about it except the awful Chelsea kit and the fact that we lost. My dad later told me that he had to...

    [Politics] Voter Identification.

    If that arsewipe Rees-Mogg says it was a targeted law then surely that proves it wasn’t. If he told you the time you’d have to check your own watch

    [Politics] Voter Identification.

    You’re saying it’s targeting young people, yet others are saying it’s more likely to affect older people. Personally I think it’s no big deal at all. If you don’t have the proper id you had ages and plenty of guidance to get it or use a postal vote. There are plenty of things to moan about with...

    [Politics] The NSC 'up all night' election night *** OFFICIAL MATCH THREAD ***

    Well in those places also having local elections they first have to separate the voting slips for those from the PCC ones as they all go in the same box. Here in Goring they will then find at least 2 spoiled ballots for the PCC count courtesy of yours truly and Mrs S

    [Politics] Voter Identification.

    Is that despite the fact that it’s clearly written on the polling cards which came weeks ago?

    [News] Government smoking ban.

    Isn’t that what the US “imagined” in the 1930s? All it did was drive alcohol production and sales underground and fuelled gang violence. Is that what you want?

    [Albion] Jan Paul van Hecke - contracted to June 2027

    But not long after that kept Haaland under wraps when we drew with City

    [Football] Euro 24 play-off: Wales v Poland

    Same for me. My dad was born in Porthcawl so I kinda feel obliged

    [Film] Next James Bond?

    Absolutely with you. However most of the films would be 18 rated. For example in “From Russia WithLove” the scene with the gipsy girls fighting in the book has has them naked versus the somewhat less steamy film version. I like your thinking

    [News] Veterinary costs under investigation

    I spent 5 years working for an insurance company who provide pet insurance. One major concern there was that they had to hike their prices to cover the ridiculous increases in vet bills. The usual pattern is that independent vets remain reasonable and focused on the care of the animal. Then...

    GOUT!

    Probably nothing wrong with it, just I would rather not be on long term prescription drugs if I can avoid it. I also understand and sympathise if this is your only option, it’s just one I’d rather not take if there’s a better alternative

    GOUT!

    Thanks for that, like you I’ve always tried to avoid actual prescription drugs when gout has reared its ugly head. Definitely don’t want to end up on allopurinol for ever. I only get the very occasional attack but as well as cherry juice/cherries and hydration I also find it useful to have a...
