Ah, ok, fair enough. That makes sense. I thought they were implying it was like a home game for them as they were making by far the most noise.

I'm in EU, about halfway between the halfway line and the South.

I thought they were singing "Is this the Etihad" ie seems like a home match. Which I thought a bit rich as I don't rate the atmosphere at the Etihad at all. Last time I was there I heard nothing from the City fans until near the end. But OK, might have been the Emirates. Maybe both.

Exactly. When the singing spreads around the ground it's obviously audible. I even join in myself. The Albion-Albion chants were great. But when just the NS sings it's usually not loud at all from where I am, and if you're in the middle of the away fans I'm sure you hear nothing at all (which...

They can’t hear it. I’m a block and a half past halfway, towards the South. I didn’t hear TB's blue and white army at all. Apart from Albion, Albion the first thing I noticed from the north was You’re not singing anymore, after Pedro's goal. We only ever hear loud Brighton singing when it...

Ground ivy, I think. Google it and see what you think. You could use PlantNet app to see if you get a better answer.

I'm in favour of planned, managed immigration regardless of numbers. If we have the infrastructure and facilities to accept X number then that's fine. Most immigration isn't permanent. If people want to come here to study (putting money into the education sector) or to work in industries with...

1) I agree with you that immigration is needed. 2) I've no problem with the WFP payment being taken away from those, like me, who don't need it. I object to WFP being taken away from those who do need it. 3) This government actually created the WFP crisis. Whether they're willing and able to...

I said illegal / undocumented unplanned immigration. I’m all in favour of planned, economic migration and as long as it has the consent of the people at large, we should embrace it. Even a Reform voter is surely happy to see an Indian doctor if it means they can get a GP appointment.

Whether it’s palatable or not to the more left-leaning here, the fact is that large scale immigration, especially 'illegal' undocumented immigration, is the root cause of this political shift to the right — certainly in Europe. You’ve been told this constantly. Constantly. And you've been told...

Only read the first few posts of this thread but how sad to see so many turn on Roberto. Yes he (apparently) had a row with the board over player investment here but he still gave me the most thrilling couple of seasons I’ve had as an Albion supporter. I love the bloke and always will. And...

I appreciate there are obvious financial benefits to continuing to work but for me personally, retirement has been wonderful and gives me a much better, happier life than working ever did. Perhaps the one thing I miss is the camaraderie and banter of workmates in a close team but there were also...

I’m no expert, just going on various references to gall bladder issues on things like Reddit and Facebook groups. You’re still statistically highly unlikely to have this problem (I read a 1 in 200 chance but don’t quote me on that) but yes it’s associated with sudden sharp weight loss so...

I have QPR associations too. They were my team growing up in London as a boy/youth and I still look out for their results. I married into a Brighton family (in-laws from Pevensey) in the 90s and used to get taken along to matches when we visited. Later moved to E Sussex and graduated to ST...

Ah ok. Sorry, didn’t realise. Actually, just googled it and can’t see any reference to it so must have closed down.

I’ve just listened to that too. Or most of it. I’ll go back to it but Mitchell’s voice got a bit annoying. Yes it’s funny though and very educational!

It’s not specifically a Mounjaro issue. Gallstone problems are not uncommon for people who lose a lot of weight in a relatively short period of time. People who have bariatric surgery are particularly prone. Mounjaro, Wegovy, Ozempic etc users all have relatively high incidence of gall bladder...

I’m sure there probably are a few around. But when I was growing up in the 70s I’m sure they were quite a fixture in most towns.

I think the days of those Conservative social clubs are largely over. When we moved to Eastbourne my wife joked about there probably being a Conservative club on every street corner but apparently there isn’t even one these days. Yes, membership of all the main parties is down. I think a lot...

I think “smash Starmer” is an exaggeration as is all this stuff about her being a loose cannon / street fighter / attack dog / right wing nut. These are all silly labels and Guardian-style caricatures. But certainly she is capable of being an awkward customer. And being a young black woman will...
