    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Wolverhampton Wanderers *** Official Match Thread ***

    The one I could never fathom (truth or lie) was @Solid at the back with his "game over" when we went a goal down in the first 20 mins.

    [Politics] Would you give the chancellor one?

    It's a yes from me with two provisos 1. She still has a pulse 2. She doesn't add VAT to her fee

    [Misc] A thread full of Iconic photos

    No, British GP at Silverstone, 1979 I think. It was to Kenny Roberts, his arch nemesis, that year. Edit: beaten too it. Epic race, that one ....

    [Help] High cholesterol

    I started taking statins about 30 years ago, a couple of years post type 1 diabetes diagnosis. My GP called me in and said my Cholesterols are a bit high and wanted to start me on statins. At the time I was on a very steep learning curve to understand what was going on with my body. I was in...

    [Help] High cholesterol

    No more than 2 eggs per week. Pastry, like pies, pasty, sausage roll, etc. not more than one a fortnight. Oh, and a daily Atorvastatin helps me too ....

    [Misc] Weight loss jabs - Mounjaro, Wegovy etc.

    Yes, I believe eating can be an addiction, not dissimilar to alcohol, drugs, smoking or gambling. To just say "stop eating so much / wrong stuff" is no different to saying to an alcoholic to just stop drinking, etc. Never has the statement "easier said than done" been so relevant. I'm sure...

    [Help] Unknown Tracker Alert

    No idea, but would add that the typical Bluetooth range is only 10 metres. Does this mean your stalker / assassin is less than 10 metres away? Eeek!

    [Cricket] The village / amateur 2024 CRICKET thread...

    Never mind spirit of the game, there is a specific law covering this. A batsman cannot be given out run out if he is out of his ground in the mistaken belief he is already out. IIRC this happened to an England player in a test match in the Carribean years ago. Batter was bowled but did not see...

    [Albion] Danny Welbeck.

    And who calls a sport football when 99% of passing or running with the ball is in the hand. Yes, I know kicking the ball is allowed, but I'd love to see the stats of how many times during a match the players actually kick the ball, American football vs rugby football vs soccer.

    [Politics] Inheritance Tax

    But pension pots have always been encouraged by governments to help relieve dependency on the state pension. How else can pension incentives be made if the tax carrot is removed? Would be short-termism of the highest order. Keynesium economic theory discourages savings as this takes money out...

    Is one angle. What about obese folk that have let themselves go and can't now get off the couch. If semaglutide helps then shed 20% of their weight that then enables them to get off the couch, is that not a good thing?

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

    Now hold on old chap ... I only mentioned Brexit as a comparison to the current Moldova voting that is alleged to have Russian shenanigans seeking to gain them some perceived long term advantage, and merely posed the question, could something similar have happened here. Not sure if I should be...

    Semaglutide is the underlying drug here, marketed under the names listed above. I'm a type 1 diabetic of some 35 years and all my blood vitals are decent, thanks to a cocktail of drugs, with insulin being my go-to life preserver. As I passed 50 some years ago and lifestyle became more...

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

    Is that like our Brexit referendum, only in reverse? What was our outcome? 52% to 48% - this one looks even closer. Now wondering if the leave (for us) was won with a bit of Russian persuasion?

    [Misc] Flight Simulators

    I did a 747 (propper) sim at CAE in Burgess Hill about 30 years ago. Another nod to Perry Air who looked after my dad a few years ago when he flew in their Tiger Moth. They showed great interest when they found out he had learned to fly in one with the RAF in the late 1940s.
