    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    If Orban’s serious about seeking peace, he should be talking to Russia’s great Tsar. Conceding all stolen land and paying for Ukraine’s restoration should merely be a starting point, but Ukraine needs SO much more than that. Repairing / restoring infrastructure is one thing. Repairing millions...

    [Finance] Premium Bonds - prize pool increased again - you ever have any luck?

    £75 from max holding. Not exactly turning cartwheels, but better than a mallet in the vitals.

    I’m at Rome, and the delay is estimated at 4 hours.

    [Football] Things Gareth Southgate might be good at.

    Dunno, but his only football management achievement up until now, is the fact that his tactical ineptitude won the last Euros for Italy. Unfortunately he wasn’t their manager at the time. I’ll never forgive him for that.

    I just hope that you weren't a couple of miles away from your house, when you saw the wasp !

    [Misc] Giant Wasps

    Giant wasps ? The album's not great. The singer does tend to drone on a bit.

    [Albion] Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall **Singed for Chelsea 02/07/2024**

    We'll be priced out. We invariably are for quality established players. We're okay though, when it comes to under the radar signings.

    HWT and I will offer ourselves as a cheaper alternative to KDH and Jimmy Somerville.

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    I suppose the Russians are entitled to defend themselves, in the face of extreme Ukrainian provocation !

    [Music] Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe.

    Have a feeling I saw Brinsley Schwarz at 'The Richmond'. Saw him & Bob Andrews on stage with Graham Parker on a few occasions. Wish I'd seen Dave Edmunds. Some of his singles were great.

    [Travel] Learning a foreign language in the comfort of your own home.

    I thought about it, but I live in Shoreham. The walk between getting off the 700 and the college is not to be recommended in a monsoon, and we seem to be getting them quite often. There's nothing on offer around here. I really need something on my phone, whilst I'm travelling between Shoreham...

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    Am I over reacting, or is there some great news coming out of the G7 summit ?

    [Travel] Learning a foreign language in the comfort of your own home.

    Think I need a learn Italian app on my iPhone. I don't want to get locked into a lengthy, expensive contract. I don't expect anything for nothing. Repetition might be tedious, but It may help basic Italian to percolate through my addled brain. Please can anyone recommend a decent app. I don't...

    [Football] Eric ten Hag is safe.

    The club is rotten to the core, and has been since the Glazers bought it, siphoning off millions, and reducing it to a laughing stock. Their current manager must be pretty competent to ever win a match with a squad of mercenaries, most of whom couldn't care whether they win or lose. It'll take...

    [Albion] Khvicha Kvaratskhelia

    How can we afford not to ? Just think of the revenue from replica shirts. It doesn't matter whether he's any good, or what position he favours, just focus on the revenue that shirt sales will generate.

    [Travel] Learning a foreign language in the comfort of your own home.

    Thank you all for some fantastic constructive contributions. I knew NSC wouldn't let me down. The winter evenings can be long and tedious. Hopefully I can pick up some of the basics over the next few months, and blitz it then. I spend a lot of time on the 700 between Shoreham and Brighton, and...

    [Travel] Learning a foreign language in the comfort of your own home.

    Can anyone on NSC recommend an online course that will help me to learn very basic Italian ? My girlfriend and I are going on holiday to Sicily next June, and I want to be able to master the basics. Me attempting to communicate in Italian will probably be a humiliating experience, but I’m up...

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    The repression under the Russians must simply have been a living nightmare. I really can't find the words to describe the endless misery that the Hungarians were subjected to by their liberators. I visited Momento park when I was in Budapest. It was a harrowing experience.
