    [Misc] Northern Lights (Aug 24)

    Not until I si looking up did I realise how many satellites Musk has up there. I know it's 1000's but blimey, there seems to be at least 5 flying over at any one time. Meanwhile follow this for Lights latest https://www.facebook.com/share/p/GDSdSHPtqJU7Ckr8/

    [Travel] F**K SOUTHERN FAIL. Help?!

    Another 'as a side'. An electric company owed me around £700 and it took months to get it back. On my day off whilst doing the books, I'd call them and keep them talking for hours (back then it was real people in the UK). When they hung up I'd ring again. Reckon, based on 6 months/24 weeks at 6...

    [Football] Wayne Rooney’s Plymouth

    Whatever is said about Rooney, he was a great footballer. But getting his point over to players not of his quality isn't easy. I know how to wire a 3 pin plug, but teaching my wife to do it is damn near impossible. He knows by instinct when to smash a shot but teaching that to championship players?

    [Albion] New Sound System at the Amex.

    Was the sub DJ on again yesterday. He played this song, which I heard a few years ago when he played it before.

    [Football] The Championship.

    Do I sit down and watch Sheff Wed v Wayne Rooney's Plymouth this afternoon, or lay out in the sun and enjoy summer? Hoping it's onthe radio and then I can lay out in the sun laughing.

    [Albion] Villarreal friendly 10/8/24

    You need more sleep. It's not a league game. Through to the next round boys. Man City at Wembley here we come.

    [Football] Away Games Etiquette

    And there we have it folks. The 'I can't get a ticket for a game yet I've supported the Albion for ten years' theory knocked on the head. In reply, there are groups who get together in the middle to sing. Other than that it's generally own seats. But remember it will be all standing so if your...

    [Albion] Who will be the traditional pre-final friendly signing tomorrow lunchtime?

    I'm just hoping the players wear their names on the back of their shirts. QPR was mad, "who are you who are you".

    [Football] Clubs to Vote on VAR removal

    Just watching olympic taekwondo on TV. VAR has UHD pictures that can not only zoom right in but have 360 degree visibility. A foot to the head took seconds to decide.

    [Politics] Protests/rioting in lots of places

    Off topic, but Clitheroe nearby has lots of bars. When I asked why, the owners said that everyone in Blackburn comes over for a drink at weekends.

    [Politics] Protests/rioting in lots of places

    Looks like it needs more police. Picture from Evening Argus live web site.

    [Albion] [Caicedo] cleared out his locker at Brighton five days ago and has not been back at the club since

    In a recent chat, PBOBE mentioned we broke the transfer record twice when selling him. Must have had a 30 minute break clause with Liverpool.

    Same as I've heard. Why Queens Road?

    [Football] Chelsea moaning about PSR

    All of this reminded me of when FBS renamed Withdean to Palookaville for a game. OK, it was in the Championship, but were we pushing PSR a little bit back then. I'd imagine back in the day FBS paid a minimal amount, but still can we do it again for a bit more money?

    [Politics] Protests/rioting in lots of places

    Rumours about a protest in Brighton. I employ 3 students, all 100% legal but all foreign, and they've heard about a protest in Brighton. To be honest they are all shook up about it and want the day off. I don't want to give dates or place, but it's come back to me from many sources. DON'T GIVE...

    [Finance] Another query re lease extension.

    I'm on the opposite side of the fence, so to speak. One of my shops is in an old block of 2 shops and 13 flats. I have to pay a percentage of all repairs, and there are lots of them. On average it's around £5K a year per leaseholder that we all have to pay on the upkeep of a 200 year old...

    [Other Sport] Paris 2024 Olympics & Paralympics ***Official Match Thread***

    Had a quick skip through here and didn't see anything about the Skeet Shooting. Talk about nail biting penalty shoot out finish, first to miss loses, but we were robbed as our girl Amber Rutter was deemed to have missed when a slow motion replay shows a clear hit. Silver that could have been...
