    [Football] Fulham - Riverside Corporate launched

    Yes and no. Although Newcastle fans (in their club's shirts) were seen in the Riverside this season. The away section remains the same bit of the Putney End. @Commander STs are relatively good value (mine was about Β£480) but matchday tickets are very high.

    [Politics] Inheritance Tax

    There was an article in Private Eye a few issues ago about the huge amounts of IHT avoided by rich people buying agricultural land as that is exempt from IHT, which has led to significant increases in land values. It would seem more equitable to target active tax avoidance schemes like that...

    Agreed. Even better that Charlie and Paul Cooper are massive Cottagers. Paul and I even follow each other on Twatter.

    [Football] Fulham - Riverside Corporate launched

    Thanks @Willow . If I appear on the defensive, it's because there's been a lot of flak heading Fulham's way over this. The simple facts are that in London, Fulham are competing with some genuinely big and successful clubs with much larger fanbases, grounds and corporate sponsors. The current...

    [Football] Fulham - Riverside Corporate launched

    Thank you. I did look at the Tunnel Club website but the prices aren't shown. May I be as bold to suggest that if the Amex had been built say, where the King Alfred is, this is exactly what the Albion would have done? Edit: I've now found this thread. I rest my case.

    [Football] Fulham - Riverside Corporate launched

    Thanks for the heads-up, @Paulie Gualtieri . The Fulham Focus thread on Twitter is pretty disparaging of it and most Fulham fans I know will never sit there and are pissed off that the toilets in the Hammersmith End haven't been significantly upgraded since the 1970s. Even with some of the...

    [Food] Favourite/ least favourite tv/celeb Chef ?

    Quite a few seasons ago, I bribed my daughter to come with me to see Fulham against some unexciting Midlands team with the prospect of lunch at The River Cafe. What I didn't reveal until we emerged from Putney Bridge tube station was that I meant the greasy spoon opposite which shares the name...

    Oh @Bozza , I know exactly what you're going through and I've suddenly got something in my eye as well. A room in my house is filling up with what I've retained from my mum's and I've still got a few more trips up to her house until I've got to the stage of calling the house clearance company...

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    It looks like the PM will be promising a bonfire of regulations today at the Investment Summit. Unless this is just the already trailed, consulted on and underwhelming changes to planning policies and procedures, we back in the territory that led to the 'one in, two out" doctrine of Eric Pickles...

    [News] Middle East conflict

    There was a demo down on Hove Lawns near the Peace Statue this lunchtime with hundreds of people remembering the thousands killed by the Israeli state, with someone reading out the names. And about 30 people holding Israeli flags and Union Jacks. Loads of plod there and seemed to pass off...

    The brand Dry Robe was originally invented by a North Devon surfer / surf lifesaving bloke who got his mum to make one. I did buy another brand of changing robe but couldn't get on with it. After decades of getting changed as quick as I can on freezing clifftops, it just doesn't make sense to...
