Update from Hell. Bellotti currently trying to sell it to property developers and do a deal to groundshare with Crystal Palace

Come to Glastonwick mate. 85 beers, spiky music and poetry and an official ban on Morris dancers and blues bands :) Maybe you have, in which case you'll know....

And then off to Brussels with Mike, Tim, Bomber and Jim to indulge our passion for Belgian beer and football and, indulging my silly Albania obsession, to cheer their no-hope national team on in a World Cup qualifying match. Belgium v Albania, Heysel Stadium, 17 October 1984. The...

Too right they are different types of votes. TU votes HAVE to be postal. I think it is an established fact that a far smaller percentage of the electorate would vote if they could only do so by postal ballot. The fact that the 'turnout' is taken into the equation and people are not allowed to...

Tories received 24% of the votes from eligible electors. They want to introduce a law outlawing strikes supported by less than 40% of eligible union members. Sheer, rank hypocrisy. Needless to say, their pet (free?) press doesn't point this out. Recommended reading: Robert Tressell's 'Ragged...

If everyone took that attitude kids would still be going up chimneys, there would be a 12 hour day and only 5% of the population would have the vote :)

Scargill? Met him quite a few times. Totally committed to the defence of the mining communities and the fight for better pay and conditions for his members, as a trade union leader should be. Adored by thousands in those communities who recognised that fact. Totally right about the...

Yes I do. Get over it :)

'This country' is comprised of various strata with mutually exclusive interests, Ian. If the miners had won we would certainly be a much fairer and humane kind of society where manufacturing still happened and there were a **** of a lot less coffee shops and call centres. In my opinion a...

If we ever play Donny or Barnsley again, do a detour to Goldthorpe or any of the nearby pit villages. If Boro don't go up, likewise Easington. See what happened to those places, and many, many more. .... UK miners produced some of the cheapest coal in Europe at the pithead. The reason some...

NEVER FORGET (Dedicated to the Orgreave Truth and Justice Campaign) I remember my stepfather moaning In the first strike in ’72 ‘Miners holding the country to ransom…..’ I was fourteen. I thought about you. You worked underground, often in danger. Hewed the coal we depended upon. He earned more...

WMIHP. Best song ever written. Agree with Mr North.

Great fun. Shame the Albion banned the Whitehawk Ultras' flags, 7 drums (fact: drums are obviously shit in Championship but great in non league) air raid siren, bugle and stylophone (yes, stylophone, a woman was playing one at the Weston Super Mare game) Shame the Ultras sat down so meekly when...

I reckon Kemptown voted Labour, it's Rottingdean etc to blame (and they aren't part of Brighton anyway) Still, who am I to talk - I live in Southwick, and an actual, literal dead dog - not a metaphorical one, a real, decomposing canine covered in maggots - would get elected here if it had a blue...

I think some people really ARE taking themselves too seriously! The whole PRBH thing including my comment is a wind up (I think you call it 'fishing' on here, and as a regular on Southwick harbour arm I can relate to that) Right now I want as much fun as I can get :)

We are different. Some people really want to think that we're no different from lots of other places in (the South of) England which are boring, suburban, pinched-face, narrow-minded, thick, selfish, cretinous, dull, ignorant, insular and instinctively do what the mainstream media tells them...

I'll be there, Whitehawk is great fun :)

I'm sponsoring a hole. I've asked for the sign to say 'Attila's Hole'. I've also asked Langers to take a picture of my hole so I can see it in all its glory :)

This seems to me to be sheer confrontational bloody mindedness for its own sake. And the Oystons claim, or claimed, to be socialists!!!!!!

The Green council don't have a clue but Caroline is ACE :)
