That second half made quite clear where we stand as a team.

How we prepare for and control the changes that West Ham will make now will show the measure of our team.

Yes, I was there - and I couldn't face going back to Gillingham again after that.

I admit I wasn't expecting this - a lovely start to the season.

All going rather well so far.

External shutters are a brilliant thing to keep homes colder. Wish I had them, but not often available in this country - thought I know some of the older buildings in Brighton have them.

For office/tech work I think so. Since Covid working from home has been fairly normal for some of the days of every week, so everywhere I know more or less leaves it up to the employees where they want to work from most days. Most people go in for some combination of the Tuesday to Thursday...

I'm not going in to work those days; nice air-conditioned office, but I'm not sure I want to place my faith in Southern Rail to get me home.

Our current tax system has plenty of annoying grab backs that end up with some people paying an even higher rate of tax than the 40% or 45%. Things like: - Frozen thresholds (worse in Scotland) - Child Benefit grab back between £50,000 to £60,000 - Personal allowance removal between £100,000...

Moving house is the real killer for this; now on my fourth house and got close-ish to paying off each one before then took on a larger mortgage for a new home. And each time I upper the term by a year or so, so I'm going to be paying back for around 30 years in the end, not the 25 I started...

Listening to this on the radio has been an absolute joy!

Leeds and Burnley are more likely to be weaker next year, I think, so one of those two. I think Leeds (and definitely Everton) would come straight back up again, but I doubt Burnley would...

Sorry - I can't bring myself to want Chelsea to win.

That last ten minutes was a bit dicey (for me at least), but that was a lovely match.

1913 is not a bad choice for Britain, either. We could avoid the Great War maybe. Re-running things, though, is likely to end up with the same result. It's not like re-running the 70s to now would have any path that meant we would currently had a large coal industry, for example.

It used to be the best connection to Brighton from where I lived. Don't go to Three Bridges and get a slow train, go one stop further and then get the fast train straight to Brighton.

We now have much more idea of what doesn't work at all.

Not really developing to our advantage.

Plenty of time yet...

Really wish I was there today: rain, some clugger visitors, new captain - proper football. Hope we get a hatful!
