    [Albion] Premier League 25-27/09/21

    Let's hope that this result combined with our equally magnificent win tomorrow doesn't persuade Spurs that we have the manager they need.

    [News] There's no need to panic buy petrol

    The only positive about this is that people have far less capacity to (safely - though that's another problem with petrol) store fuel than they have for toilet roll. Once the cars are full, they remain full. So I would hope that if supply continues more or less as normal, then by midweek things...

    [Albion] The BEST Albion night ever!

    I just told my wife about this and she is complaining I’ve not bet anything.

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Swansea City *** Official Match Thread ***

    Hope we can have a bit more of a go at cups this year - this is a nice start.

    [Albion] We’ve only gone and finished....

    Seeing as our highest ever finish is 13th (in a 22 team league) or 15th ( in a 20 team league) - anything at 12 or above has got to be wonderful. This poll really shouldn't lump 1tth to 17th as one value, as 11th or 12th would be great.

    [Football] The Premier League Departure Lounge

    Enjoying being in a higher position is fine - we all know it may not last, but if we can't enjoy it while there, when can it be enjoyed?

    Insulate Britain protests

    My problem with it is that I don't believe they would stop if they got what they wanted. I'm not sure what level of insulation would be sufficient, but I would bet that if that was happening to some extent they would either: a) Say that it wasn't enough, or b) Find some other reason to carry...

    [Albion] To Avoid Potter Bashing - The Staying Up Tracker - season 21-22 Final Update - 11 ABOVE

    Ahead of the Europe tracker. Let's keep to this trajectory.

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Leicester City *** Official Match Thread ***

    That was both lovely and terrifying to listen to as we got closer to Sussex, driving back from dropping off a university son. Fantastic win - but I'm sure on the radio it's ten times worse than it feels in the ground - especially with those disallowed goals!

    [Football] Jimmy Greaves RIP

    A fantastic player who never quite got the respect he deserved due to missing out on the World Cup Final squad in 1966.

    [Misc] The Great Resignation and career changes

    I wonder how we've been doing with getting our children to get that work/life balance? It's the work side that I find they aren't clued up about. My situation is fairly sorted out, but it's definitely not the case for my now (nominally) adult children. I tried to persuade them to not go to...

    [Misc] The Great Resignation and career changes

    The train commute was immeasurably improved over the pandemic; back when hardly anyone else seemed to be going to London I enjoyed often being the only person in the train carriage. Recently the trains are getting busier again and - horror of horrors - I've even had people sitting next to me for...

    [Albion] Premier League 11-13/9/21

    A nice few minutes for Everton fans. Burnley do have that going down look this season - but then, they had it last season too and didn't then.

    [Albion] Premier League 11-13/9/21

    That top four already has the look that it's going to stay more or less the same until the end of the season.

    [Albion] Brentford vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    Nice to see this game we're doing the exact opposite of last season - looking maybe a bit less likely, but getting a result.

    [Politics] Poll- Just vote, No discussion-New NHS and Social Care Tax-Are You OK with it

    Not fused, really. I think every political party wants to spend more and as a consequence wants to tax more. Everyone against this wants to tax more elsewhere - but when they get that chance, will they put this tax down again? I doubt it.

    [News] What was the first news story you remember?

    I do remember really loving the 1979 general election because of all the posters and billboards. We went driving to relatives houses and I remember enjoying seeing the different posters and bigger boards in fields and gardens everywhere and how exciting it all looked. It wasn't the first as I...

    [Brighton] New Churchill Square vaccination centre opens today....and closes due to protesters

    Most of the anti-vax people I know are all what you would call "alternative culture" with pretty much a hippie vibe rather than a political one. Obviously you can extrapolate from who I know to the population as a whole, but I do think in Brighton there is quite a crossover between conspiracy...

    [Albion] Premier League 28-29/08/21

    Nice symmetry on the early table for Tottenham and Arsenal.

    [Football] Manchester City's week

    Announcing in advance when someone will be leaving almost invariably means they will be leaving before that point.
