Momentous day for me - my 1,000 day streak. I worked out a few weeks ago that today would be my thousandth, so I've been counting down the days. I started on 31 December 2021 and am on a 100% run. I got a 3 today and have a respectable average of 3.60 - pretty pleased with that. I also do...

I've used Reboot and Repair on Carden Avenue for a couple of fixes. They're very reasonably priced and pretty efficient

I've played chess since I was about 5 or 6 years old and have played reasonably regularly ever since but not obsessively - have never been in a club. Bridge, on the other hand, I played and played: at school, at uni at bridge clubs, at tournaments, at people's houses. In the past, I could...

I missed this thread originally but I'm pleased to see all the indications are that it's going well. If I'd seen it, I would have pointed out that four of my friends have had breast cancer and all four made a full recovery. The one thing I will say is that she has you standing by her. That...

Your loss. I've seen him twice on stage - in The History Boys and One Man; Two Guv'nors - and he was excellent in both. Two superb plays with an equally superb cast.

Romane i domum!

Just to make it clear, I'm not suggesting that I'd do it but the Sussex management team have been very clear about giving young players a chance (hence no overseas players for the One Day Cup). I was just wondering whether they'll take the opportunity to give a couple of youngsters a game...

I asked for a bottle of water at the Ipswich game and they gave me a pint of tap water instead. I reckon that they can't handle the removal of the top. It would be good to have water dispensers in the North Stand - not sure why they're only available in WSU, it must be because of the walk to...

Loved it today. First time at Broadfield but I've seen them at the Amex and Withdean. What a performance - could easily have had six or seven. Seike was clearly the star, not just for her goals, she was a constant threat (she won't be with us for long), she linked up well with Kirby too. I was...

Love Fulham, that stroll through Bishop's Park and the river close by. Not great for atmosphere though. Newcastle has a fantastic location but the view is abysmal. I quite like Wolve: near the city centre, decent way view and reasonable buzz around the place.Probably top has to be Anfield. A...

I wonder if Uncle Tony has stats on cricket players as well. It would be great to come up with an undiscovered gem as an overseas player - someone at about the third of the price of an established big name but does a lot more. Or an under-appreciated county player: don't forget that when we...

Was it a Varndean School coach? Our car broke down on the way to the ground and had to hitch a lift on the motorway. Got a lift from Jamie Baker, the then Argus journalist, but had to find a way back home. I went round the coach park to find a coach that would take me home and got a lift from...

Don't know about Corrie but he was great as George Fairchild as the patriarch of the Fairchild family in the much-missed Brass

The worst case scenario is that we go into the last game 19 points ahead of Middlesex. It also means that if we draw with Gloucs, we're promoted.

I've never heard that phrase in my life -where has that come from? It's as black as Newgate's knocker is the phrase I've learned

We're going to struggle to get any batting points - unless Simpson does it again (and we can't rely on him all the time) The only consolation is that this looks like a tricky wicket and a lead of 100 could be a mighty big one

Pretty sure that wouldn't be worth the cost. Didn't help Surrey when they got in Shakib Al Hasan for the Somerset match. And Sussex are a club that can't afford to turn the floodlights on: why would they splash out for such a risk?

At the moment, our worst case is that we finish the match 15 points ahead of Middlesex. Every batting point we get increases that margin as does every batting point that Middlesex fail to get. If we could get three more points and Middlesex are out for 440, then that margin is 19 points going...

Bizarrely, in the days when I ate meat, liver was one of the few things I did eat
