    [Technology] Out of contract with Sky - Tips ?

    I pay £62 a month for Virgin broadband and TV including Sky Sports and TNT. I think new offers are about £75. I think it's by far the best value out there. I get my money's worth.

    [Misc] Car Insurance and Parking Madness

    So this evening I walk past my car to find that I have a parking ticket. A bit strange as I have a residents permit (although not displayed in the window but that has never been an issue). I check my emails to find a request to renew that I must have passed by. No excuse really, I'll have to pay...

    [Cricket] Cricket- England tour of Pakistan- October 2024

    The wicket keeping things really bugs me. Always play your best keeper. It's only the Taylor/Knott scenario where batting is a tie breaker. Two almost faultless keepers. Better a keeper who takes the half chance off Williamson when hasn't scored than one who drops it but averages 36 and not 26.

    [Cricket] Cricket- England tour of Pakistan- October 2024

    He did well in his only Test last time out in Pakistan, on a raging bunsen in Karachi. But there does seem to be an obstinacy about England's selections sometimes. I'm not convinced that another strong showing here will be the sign of great things to come. He averages 46 with the ball in county...

    [NSC] Being an NSC Patron (Annual patrons, please read post 336)

    Hang on, I got that too. I thought it was just me. Cancelled

    [Brighton] Brighton North Bank - Palmeria pub Hove

    I asked them when the title of the pub was going up. They said they've been expecting it for a couple of years but it keeps being cancelled last minute.

    [Humour] Joke du Jour 🤔

    'came across a chap kneeling by a grave' This rather sounds like some sort of lewd sexual encounter, especially as neither seemed bothered by each other.

    [Other Sport] 2025 Women's World Cup Rugby at the Amex

    In 2015 I turned down the chance of a ticket for Japan v South Africa as I thought it would be too one sided and not worth attending. I was wrong, South Africa gave it a good go.

    [News] Chris Kaba .. Justice served ?

    Very much feeds into my point about folk not knowing the full facts of the case. It wouldn't be wrong to conclude that the judiciary feel it right to release this as too many try to make political capital out of it. I have great reservations about historical police conduct in the UK, but I would...

    [Cricket] Cricket- England tour of Pakistan- October 2024

    Just taken a look. The irony is that Farhan's 16 year old brother has been performing better, much better, in the County Championship. Michael Vaighan's boy, same age, also had an outstanding start. They may have done well to raid the creche for this game.

    [Cricket] Cricket- England tour of Pakistan- October 2024

    I get the feeling that the spinners may play a role in this deciding Test- as will the toss.... Picture: Cricinfo

    [News] Chris Kaba .. Justice served ?

    None of us know. We weren't there, we don't know the full facts of the case. We cannot judge from our keyboards and what is written online.

    [Albion] Thomas Tuchel **Appointed England Manager 15/10/24**

    I'm not at all outraged by it, but I think the manager should be English. I think Frank Lampard would have been a good choice. International management is not a heavy tactical game. The managers don't have players long enough. Many have succeeded without impressive CVs. The current Argentine...

    [Politics] The 2024 US Election - *MATCH DAY*

    I'm struggling to understand that. If it's a two horse race the one with the most votes wins. It should differ to FPTP because the same candidate is standing in every state. FPTP has a weak case in the UK. It seems rather nonsensical in the USA. If all are equal, every vote should be equal. A...

    [Politics] The 2024 US Election - *MATCH DAY*

    Just one thing I don't understand here. What is the logic behind an election where the person with the most votes doesn't win ? How can six or seven states determine a straight forward outcome in a different way ?

    [Albion] Shithousery

    One of the reasons I really like Jack Grealish among others. No point in getting wound up about shitehousery. Take Martinez at Villa, folk getting all annoyed. If he was one of ours they'd love him.

    [Albion] Newcastle United vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    I think those quotes frustrate me as much as I find them funny. It's more that folk should know by now that you never judge a team selection or a match until it's over.
