There was another Brighton reference in Morecambe and Wise around the same time. Eric came onstage with a sign saying 'Luton for the Cup'. Ernie said something like 'can't you think of anything funnier than that' and Eric turned the sign around and on the back it said 'Brighton for the Cup'.

I have Myeloma blood cancer and am immuno-compromised so minor infections can become serious quite quickly. I usually manage to get an appointment but have to be really assertive and dramatic about the risks which I hate doing. The alternative would be a wait in A&E but a 5-minute consultation...
I voted American punk because, using a wide definition of punk to include Television, Patti Smith etc, I listen to it more these days than British punk. So the vote was cast purely on the basis of the music. However the impact that British punk had on me at the time, leading on to things like...
This seriously pisses me off as well and they never get asked to provide any evidence to support the claim. Essentially what they are saying is that the sick and twisted views of Tory party members are representative of the wider country.
As I have savings and no debts I would benefit from them going up but hope they go down as so many people are having a very tough time. I have always taken a similar view on paying taxes and can't derive satisfaction from accumulating personal wealth at a time of growing public squalor and...
In the past I accepted that human error on the part of refs and linos was part of the game. It only became an issue when a pattern of bias seemed to be involved. That doesn’t mean that I didn’t get annoyed but the sense of grievance didn’t linger and things did seem to balance out over a season...
I was on a 2-week school exchange to St Jean De Luz in the south of France where I didn’t get any UK news. On the way back I bought a British paper from a shop near Gare Du Nord and saw a picture of Clough in a deckchair. It was unbelievable. I really can’t think of an equivalent now as no...
Not forgetting the bryclreemed and toothless John Milkins; a goalkeeper who looked to be in his 60s. My heart would sink when low budget Southern Soccer came on when I had been expecting The Big Match.
I remember him doing that as we pulled away from Oldham and Blackburn. Stations in the North West seemed to have bricks conveniently piled up by the tracks.
I remember being on the Special to Bristol Rovers away in the 77/78 season that never got to Bristol. It was an evening game and when we reached Bristol Parkway we were told that the match had been postponed due to bad weather and the train was turned around and we headed back to Brighton.
Probably2/3 times a week on average but I am retired now and I read a lot and it crops up directly and indirectly in novels and historical books. I just finished The Master and Margarita which is set in the Soviet Union but which features a storyline about Pilate so this week it has been much...
