    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Nottingham Forest *** Official Match Thread ***

    Didn't think either team played that well. Forest are dangerous on the counter attack and pretty well organised in a low block. We had moments but only managed three shots on target.

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Nottingham Forest *** Official Match Thread ***

    I was in the stadium and thought he was our best player

    [Food] Restaurant 2024 thread

    We went yesterday. It's excellent. They were very busy so we had a long wait -- they apologised for the delay and offered complementary drinks -- but it was worth it. I had the Bibimguksu which was fine, my partner had the Soondubu which was even better, and we shared the Perilla Mushroom Toast...

    [Albion] Fab loves Welbz ♥️

    Worth adding that he's in incredible shape and shows no signs of slowing down. I can see him playing at this level for another two or three years. His engine is fine too. He's played most of the PL minutes this campaign and, just before he came off against Ipswich, he saw we were light at the...

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    If it is 2k for an afternoon at the football, then we're looking at about 60k a season and, given his salary is about 150k (before tax, etc), that amounts to more than half of his income. I called him a genuine football fan not an ordinary one. There seem to be three options here: 1, he doesn't...

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    He's a genuine football fan, who has had a season ticket for decades, and you're saying that he needs to ditch it because he's now PM. Presumably it was OK when he was Leader of the Opposition for you? Or when he was in the Shadow Cabinet? Or DPP? How else do you want to manage his time? That...

    Joao Pedro up-front, and Elvis Manu in reserve then

    Sounds ideal. It'll be awesome.

    I, on the other hand, am an enormous fan of False Lankum, and am yet to see it live. I'd want it to be incredibly live and, if so, it'd have the kind of effects you get at, eg, Godspeed gigs

    [Albion] Team for Forest

    If you're having Veltz, then you need Welbz and that can generate confusions such as Verbz.

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    Yes, the economy has had negligible growth over the past 14 years. The last figures released were flat. Public debt is the highest for about 50 years, leaving little room for manoeuvre, coupled with a recent spike in interest rates which we've been promised would come down for a while now, but...

    [Albion] Steele and Webster

    Baleba has been stunning this season, but his passing/decision-making really needs improving if he's going to get anywhere near his extremely high ceiling.

    [Albion] Steele and Webster

    Of our four CBs, Webster is the quickest (although I was there last night, I can't confirm either way certain passages of play -- something to do with sitting in the lower stand probably). He gave the ball away too much in the second half, but was far from alone in that. Won the ball back on...

    [Politics] Inheritance Tax

    How would taxing the recipients remove the necessity of probate?

    [Politics] Inheritance Tax

    Progressively, would be my answer. I often don't agree with @beorhthelm but have no problem with shifting the taxation from IHT to the recipient, especially if it entails the tightening of loopholes so it's more transparent.

    [Politics] Inheritance Tax

    Another way of saying this is that I'm more interested in policy/politics than morality (largely because the former creates the framework for the latter).

    [Politics] Inheritance Tax

    It's all perfectly legal, so I don't have a problem with it. I learnt yesterday that pensions are immune from IHT so, by the same logic, that's fine. Isn't the question, rather, whether you support the tightening up of loopholes so the revenue can raise more from IHT, or not? After all, I'm also...
