Yes, that's my standout moment. When Darling arrives in the dugout and Blackadder says "Here to join us for the Last Waltz?" And Darling replies: "Yes. Kinda hoped I'd see the whole thing through. Go back to work at Pratt and Son, keep wicket for the Croydon Gentlemen ...... marry Doris." So...

I only qualify as a Brighton fan via a residence qualification. (Moved to Sussex in December 1965). Coming from the Croydon area and from a staunch Palace-supporting family I naturally supported...... Chelsea.

My favourite is Boris the Animal ("it's just BORIS!") from Men in Black III. (Played by Jemaine Clement, better known as being one half of the Kiwi musical duo 'Flight of the Conchords'). I just loved the way he spoke, and I still use one of his lines when things go wrong: "Good plan; didn't...

Also makes a mockery of those who (when people complain about the Amex atmosphere) say "Oh all Premier League grounds are like that". We know we can turn it on for 'big' games, Liverpool fans can turn it in for humdrum league games against non-elite opposition.

3 cds by the Brighton band Pog. (This was in the summer)

Exactly. All fans are very one-eyed when looking at results and always focus on 'the ones that got away'. Yes we should have beaten Wolves and Ipswich, but on the other side of the coin we got the rub of the green against Man U and Newcastle. So we could be 3rd - but we could also be 12th or...

Oh definitely. As do Horsham, Lewes, Hastings and a lot of other Sussex non-league sides. I myself used to go and watch Worthing back in the early 80s, indeed in the 82/83 season I saw every round of the FA Cup - I started with Worthing, and after the defeat at Oxford I switched (back) to...

Yeah, it was definitely Connex who were the operator when the application was being prepared. I remember having a pint with Lord B whilst he outlined the issues.

Actually I think the balance is about right. When our kids were younger we used to take them to the Bugle off Lewes Road. Children were allowed in one room and had to be gone by 9 o'clock. Nowadays we take our grandson to the Swiss Cottage in Shoreham. That's full of kids. Everybody knows it and...

Well I hadn't seen it so thanks for posting. Interesting that he states that his ambition is to see Worthing in the football league. Unlike some do with Crawley no one can claim the Worthing isn't geographically or spiritually, part of Sussex, so I wonder how that will affect the Albion? I can...

As for others my annual payment has just renewed. Looking forward to meeting all the other patrons at the Gala Dinner which, seeing the entertainment lined up, I think will be the highlight of our all-expenses-paid trip to the Caribbean.

Some corrections: I didn't say it was a shitshow every game I specifically said weekday matches. I also said that 'to a large extent' the system worked. And at no stage did I say the club was responsible. My sole point is that 'it is what it is' and the potential for these problems were glossed...

Well the railways had been privatised by then, so we did know what the future would hold (all costs cut to drive profits). The point I was making was that the whole 'travel by train' argument was glossed over, people just talked about 'getting to Falmer', the differences between weekend and...

True, they're in your head whether the advert is crap or in the Ridley Scott 'Hovis' class. The point is that when I (and others) do want a particular product we say "Well I'm not getting Product X because they're adverts are really irritating". The fact we're 'aware' of them does them no good...

The planning days were so long ago that it wasn't Southern when the process started - it was Connex. I remember the great and still-missed Lord Bracknell saying that the whole transport side did have a lot of holes in it that the club were glossing over - such as saying that 100%, yes 100% of...

Well I'm with you - and I avoid Go Compare for exactly the same reason. Well I did, but I might use them in the future as their ads are now less irritating than Compare The Market which has flogged those meerkats to death. But yes I do avoid products where the adverts are irritating. (As a...

Ah thanks, so it was WW2 not WW1.

Blimey, what is that statue? Look like a replica of Nelson's Column. It also looks like it's from WW1 and an encouragement to buy War Bonds. I wonder how long it was there for?

[As it's Halloween I thought I'd bring this old joke back from the grave ...] I'm going to a Halloween fancy dress party tonight, and I thought I'd go as Count Dracula. So I went to the Novelty Shop and asked the girl for a Dracula outfit. She rummaged around the back, and then presented me...

The lake's still there - no boats. The railway's gone. If I was just being an old fogey I'd appreciate it - all those vulgar attractions have now gone. We stop and walk our dogs there occasionally on the way back from my mum's, and looking at it from a narrow, selfish dog-walkers perspective...
