    [Misc] Bicycle wheels

    Defo. And get the ones that go round and round very quickly. The riders that I've seen on the Tour de France use them.

    [Misc] Unordered Parcel arriving - scam?

    The OP doesn't actually say that - said "not her name". I do know someone who was targetted in a similar way whereby a scammer managed to order an iphone from his mobile phone account (not his credit card). It was sent to his address and a short time later the scammer phoned him and asked to...

    [Albion] Amex pitch size reduction ?

    There are TIGHTER standards for euro games - I've taken this from uefa.com website ...... A subsequent amendment in 1897 stipulated that pitches should be 91–119m long and 46–91m wide, albeit with greater precision required for international matches (101–110m long and 64–73m wide). Today, the...

    It's so that visiting West Ham supporters will feel more at home, needing binoculars to see the players.

    [Misc] Short nostalgia video for 50-60 yr olds (+/- 5yrs)

    This was forwarded to me recently - it made me and my friends smile :) A clever song that will bring back memories of your childhood in the 70s and 80s... apologies if you've seen it before but it was new to me.

    That won't trump the customer's consumer rights. The 10 year guarantee only runs from the ORIGINAL installation date (unless you have used a very unusual contract).

    [Music] Songs about or referencing footballers

    Match of the Day by Genesis. Never a single, but worth a listen. Written 46 years ago but could have been written yesterday, were it not for the line "We paid £400,000 for him, you know"

    [Humour] The Official Dad's (of toddlers) thread

    Whilst in nappies, when they needed a poo, one of mine used to sit in the corner of the room and squirm and grimace - we thought they were trying to 'go' but like yours, they were desperately trying to hold it all in. A bit like the first time they had their hair cut - burst into tears and was...

    [Humour] The Official Dad's (of toddlers) thread

    What worked for us, with twins in their first year, was sleeping in shifts. Wife went to bed at around 9pm having done the majority of caring while I was at work. 9.00pm to 3.30 am it was down to me to do everything, but I was able to get a bit of a doze here and there or at least rest my eyes...

    [Humour] The Official Dad's (of toddlers) thread

    Paraphrasing Rod Stewart 🎶 "The first year is the hardest" After a couple of years you'll suddenly think to yourself "We don't have to change nappies any more (or buy them!)" and "Isn't it lovely to see her running around smiling and laughing". You've presumably already had the "We don't need...

    [Albion] First visit to The Amex yesterday.

    My son supports Brighton because we have a family friend whose son used to work at the club (in scouting). Also, around the time that he was getting interested in football, he thought it was cool to see his name featuring prominently in headlines in the sports pages: "Murray scores winner...

    [Albion] First visit to The Amex yesterday.

    Hi All I'm not strictly a BHA supporter (BOO) but my teenage son is, and I just wanted to say what a pleasure it was for us to visit your stadium yesterday, to mingle with your supporters and the stadium staff and to chat on this helpful, witty and (relatively) polite fans forum. The advice...

    [Help] Parking (not near the stadium) - advice please

    Aha! I stupidly looked on the club site under "Parking" which clearly states "Park & Ride facilities only available when booked in advance" But they mean the EDF Hove P&R has to be pre-booked (and is now sold out). What is now clear, having found this invaluable forum, is that I should have...

    [Help] Parking (not near the stadium) - advice please

    Thank you all so much for your prompt answers ! :) The P&R options (which I would have favoured) are sold out, but you've given me reassurance that I'll be able to park somewhere near Lewes station. I'm coming from Essex and I'll be aiming for noon on the basis that even if there's an hour's...
