Have you considered marrying a rich Brightonian in a part of town you like?
My Dad moved to Worthing a few years ago and loves it. It's much cheaper than Brighton.
My Dad did 2 sets of his numbers twice a week and his uncles as well. My wife told him to stop buying 8 tickets a week and allowed him 1 set twice a week.
The first day of the national lottery myself and 4 mates all picked a set each without buying a single ticket. We had picked one correct...
Whilst the world has gone to hell in hand basket, the gap between rich and poor is at its widest in recorded history (strangely at its narrowest during my 1970s childhood), I love the fact the Albion are amazing and I can fill every moment of my spare time with Albion related shit on the...

Born in South London, moved to Shoreham when I was 4. All my mates would desert me for the Albion on a Saturday afternoon and although I wasn't interested in football I joined them for Barnsley at home the start of '85/86 and never looked back. Even went to Millwall away a week later.
