    I think I was at this one - a mid-week evening game? I drove over with a mate from HH His sister was based in Aldershot with the army (nurse) and got us tickets. Seem to remember it vaguely but it was nearly half a century ago ....

    [Food] Quality Street

    Ooooh, missed this first time round The fact that I selected SEVEN probably says more about my chocolate addiction ... Currently on a Revels trip - they are AWSOME ! Mixing fruit with chocolate should also be made illegal - it's just plain WRONG

    [Brighton] new Documentary tonight about the Brighton Bombing

    Best man at my wedding and good mate was Simon Webb, also a Fireman, based IIRC at *Preston Circus* and on watch that night. He was on national news when they pulled Norman Tebbit out of the rubble on a stretcher. He was one of the Firefighters on the front of the stretcher, can't remember if...

    [Football] Would the Premier League be better off without Manchester City?

    F1 had a money problem years ago with the wealthiest teams buying success. There were some new rules put in place to limit testing etc which did help level the playing field. Maybe the answer is to give every club a budget to buy players, a la fantasy league. Then the focus may switch to...

    [Albion] We look such a poorly coached team

    Indeed ... Whilst I agree that opinions are what make this site, some (first pager contributors on this thread) should heed the mantra of: better to be thought a fool than to post on NSC and remove all doubt.

    [Brighton] The Pink Coconut mid 80s

    Simple workaround to avoid this. Me and my mates used to find a group of girls in the queue and ask them to pretend to be our girlfriends just to get past the bouncers and in the door. Always worked, never got refused ...

    [Politics] Shoreham Pilot - Flying Licence Appeal Rejected 17/10/2024

    Forgive me if I have, but where have I defended Andy Hill? I can't and wouldn't - indeed the words of my last sentence "lifetime ban on flying would be my decision" should clarify my stance on his application to regain a pilot's licence. The Hunter he was flying that day was a two-seater, one...

    [News] Middle East conflict

    I'm not a betting man, nor a military general, but my personal view is that if Hamas had any real intention of using the Israeli hostages as bargaining chips they would have played that card by now. A year of Gaza carnage would have bought most to the negotiating table, but seems not the Hamas...

    [Politics] Shoreham Pilot - Flying Licence Appeal Rejected 17/10/2024

    Crikey mate, awful lot of error in your comment. 1/ The flight path was not along the length of the road - AAIB report states "The manoeuvre was continued and the aircraft struck the ground on the northern side of the westbound carriageway of the A27 close to the central reservation with a...
