    [Misc] Who is a genius ?

    I've met Trevor Baylis a couple of times - in fact, I did some work for him once (a very small amount). He was a nice bloke but I wouldn't have called him a genius

    [Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

    It's not a metaphor, it's a simile 👍

    [Albion] Was there a better site than Falmer

    Yeah, that's the mane thing

    [Albion] Was there a better site than Falmer

    Sorry, I was just thinking on the hoof.

    [Albion] Was there a better site than Falmer

    If you think that local train companies are beyond criticism then you must be new to NSC. I reckon that SASTA vies with the government as the most unpopular, non-football organisation on here. Surely the main problem is that the club has absolutely no leverage over Southern. As someone pointed...

    [Technology] ai Writing??

    AI is a complete pain. I'm a professional writer, worked mainly as a journalist but have concentrated more on copywriting lately. My revenue has dropped considerably in the last couple of years as clients have found that Chat GPT and its competitors will supply words to order. They may not...

    [Cricket] ICC Cricket World Cup 2023- Final- India v Australia

    Just looked at the fixtures and, amazingly, England could still qualify for the semis. There would have to be a lot of results going our way and would obviously need to improve our run rate but it is, mathematically possible (Narrator's voice "Possible in theory: not a chance in practice)

    [Albion] New proposed fan zone

    This was pointed out on the Facebook page so there's by no means a unanimous objection. But there is hard core group of people who either hate football or hate the way that the stadium has inconvenienced them and will object to anything proposed by the club.

    [Albion] New proposed fan zone

    The Coldean Facebook group is already calling for people to co-ordinate responses to object to this. It looks like there'll be plenty of objections from local residents (I imagine something similar will be going on in Moulsecomb and Falmer). I'm sure that support from Albion supporters will...

    [Albion] Was there a better site than Falmer

    I didn't say that - but it's certainly something that would have had an effect. So would the knock-on effects of Covid, that would also have had an effect. And that's something else that the club couldn't have envisaged.

    [Albion] Was there a better site than Falmer

    To be fair to the transport providers, it probably wasn't envisaged that we'd leave the EU and face labour shortages in so many areas. But I can't believe people are suggesting places like Waterhall, Toads Valley and Beeding - areas that would be wholly reliant on cars. Can you imagine how...

    [Travel] Trains tonight

    Yeah, I'm staggered that more people don't cycle. I left Hove Rec just after 7.15 and was in the ground by 7.55. Coming home, I clapped the players off and was back home (not Hove) at 10.20. I live quite close to the ground but I'd cycle wherever was. I used to cycle to Withdean as well as it's...

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs AFC Ajax *** Official Match Thread ***

    Some herbert snaffled my bike light, that was stressful on the road back. Bet it was someone from Ajax, all bike mad

    [Politics] Sir Keir Starmer’s route to Number 10

    Incredibly, the last time that a government got a majority of the votes cast was in 1935. Time for the Tories to unveil its Baldwinite strategy

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

    Absolutely. Every journalist is well schooled in media law and anything slightly dodgy is pulled apart by an editor. I've been sued twice for libel: once when we had no grounds to print the story (the plaintiff dropped the case though) and the second when we did have grounds (and were...

    [Albion] 23 years ago…

    It was a pretty miserable day. I remember coming back late and having a row with my then girlfriend: we split up the next day. I blame Chesterfield.

    [Misc] Have you put the heating on yet? (2023/24 edition)

    Not on yet. I'm still in shorts at the moment. It won't go on until it's time to switch to trousers

    [TV] Netflix - What's good to watch?

    Really enjoying Bodies - great storyline but does Stephen Graham ever get a day off, he seems to be in everything? Looking forward to new series of Lupin too. I saw that it was on when I was over in Marseille and looked forward to catching an episode but the flat didn't have Netflix. I'm glad...

    [Other Sport] Wasps moving to Kent

    What a load of codswallop It would be great to have top class rugby near Brighton, can't see it happening though (can't see it happening in Kent either) Mind you, Harlequins Women have played at Horsham so there is some previous but it would be a bit of jump to get some professional men's team...
