A few tickets still available

When I was a hard-up student (1979-ish) I used to turn up at the door early in the morning to queue with a load of other down and outs, they would give a days work to the least rank looking unfortunates, you can imagine. Put me off hotels for life, certainly eating in them!

Apologies in advance if fixtures. If you don't mind my enquiring: other than NSC, which discussion boards do you actively belong to, that is, check regularly, or contribute to? Me, boringly it's Mustardland/Discuss the Archers to enjoy listeners' terse invective levelled at the...

Maggie Bell? Alison Goldfrapp?

Harold Wilson was an outstanding academic and one of Oxford's youngest dons at 21.

I can't vote as there isn't the right option for me. This is a bit of a guilty secret for me - I had one about 30 years ago but found their admin quite poor and cancelled it after a number of frustrating events (e.g. payments made but not acknowledged.) I'm sure they're much better now but who...

Yep.

Apologies in advance if this Q has been covered in a posts or a thread I've missed. I've no idea what's going wrong - if I did I'd be a rich football manager. But I don't think CH has all of a sudden become a bad manager, and I don't believe that our players have suddenly lost their talent...

Last weeks episode, the child protection officer who ... no, too much of a spoiler. I thought she was unbelievably admirable, deserves a programme all about her own work. She was amazingly articulate and never lost her cool even when tackling the most loathsome criminals. From the evidence of...

There are so many grounds on which to pulverise these pisspoor comments, but I really cannot be arsed as I'm not sure you'ld get the point...

Thanks - hadn't seen that. I got really scared - there were so many people gridlocked - I was worried about a Hillsborough style crush, or a terrorist attack. The police controlled the crowd very well, but it was edgy, then they closed Green Park tube - ****! But it was an amazing day with a...

Peoples' vote march today in London town AIF - but I can't see another thread. Were any other NSCers on the march today? I fear it won't make a world of difference but it was a humungous turnout and I well believe the 1m figure. Good people.

If HWT thinks the usage 'cow-grubbing' is a fourth form idiom he is very wrong and I'll put up £100 against his £100 for REMF that he cannot identify it's etymology! The ignorance of that comment needs punishment! Of the walletal nature! And no HWT, it's ungoogleable! Let battle commence!

HWT We're both (you and I) going to Wembley. FACT We both hope for the same thing. FACT I go to Wembley with low expectation for the result against multibillionaire champions, but with 100% expectation of singing my bollocks off even if we're 9-0 down. Is that such a shameful mindset? Or...

OK I don't mind taking some flak. To me Sunday was 130 minutes of misery punctuated by two moments of intense joy. The semi final will be 90 minutes of pure joy, come what may, being the good little guys against the dodgy money people.

1. I'm fully prepared for a thorough cow-grubbing from the Fauntleroys. 2. I couldn't care less if we lose. 3. We'll be making more noise than chiteh at the final whistle! It's all upside!
