Great choice. Massive fan of Sweep, who always played second fiddle to Sooty but he was the comedy genius of the pair. You could pretty much tell exactly what he was saying via his squeak intonations and that was part of his charm. The Sweep’s brothers' episode has to be one of the best ever...

Just got back home and am still buzzing. I thought the Albion were brilliant today, and exciting to watch Our interplay was unbelievable at times. Everyone did their bit today but Lamptey and Welbeck were game changers, and by the end Leicester (the home team, ex-champions of England and FA Cup...

Just got through to Harry in BHA Supporter Services who was very helpful. If your ticket has gone astray BHA will add your name to a “fans with missing tickets” list which they’ll convey to Villa’s ticketing team early today, probably by lunchtime latest. On Saturday, you need to take with...

Thanks CJ - ticket did not turn up today either, and I won't know about tomorrow's post until I get home from work, after Supporter Services have closed, so it looks like I'll be picking up a duplicate at Villa Park!! :down:

Club says my ticket was posted 2nd class on Thursday 11th but it's still not turned up after 6 days! They advised me to call them on Friday a.m. if it's still a no show by then and they'll "organise alternatives" for Saturday.

Well I did think about taking my STFC scarf to the Amex and then I thought "To BHAFC or not to BHAFC, that is the question?" :D

Has to be Option (b) for me. I'm hoping that my second team performs better than my first team this weekend!

The central issue’s no longer about whether Cummings is elected or whether or not he lied (the balance of probability is almost certainly that he did in that his account of events seems highly implausible); it’s about the rank hypocrisy of those in government blindly defending him, unable or...

I have to share this - a ditty penned by my brother's teenage niece. There was an old Tory called Dom His wife called, she needed to vom. "We're likely contagious, But lockdown won't cage us! Let's drive north and visit your mom". So into the car they all piled; Dom Cummings, his wife and...

That may be true for other countries (I haven't checked their sources) but for the UK they include against each day's stats a link to their source data, typically an official Gov.UK page or Department of Health and Social Care link, which you can find in the "Latest News" section of the link...

I’ve been tracking the Worldometer daily data too and noted exactly the same! It looks like there were 2,472 actual new cases yesterday which were offset by the application of an “historical data revision” downward adjustment of 2,997 past cases, resulting in a net overall reduction of 525 cases...

I pay for my son's ST too and we have separate "my digital" accounts. He hasn't received an email from the club about a refund but in the email sent to me I note it says "If you pay for multiple season-tickets on one credit/debit card, please note all of these are included in the calculation...

Likewise, I filed a furlough claim today and was surprised by its relatively user-friendly format. I was online for quite a while and it didn't crash once. As you suggest, it's wise to have all filing data ready in advance (company name, UTR, bank details, furloughed staff details, National...

Sounds pretty stressful, physically and emotionally. Really hope you shake it off and get back to full health asap. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

My wife and I were walking along a deserted road on our way to buy some groceries from the local store about a mile away. Walking towards us I spied a lady wearing a BHAFC bobble hat! I shouted “Seagulls!” and we had a brief chat (.....from a very safe distance apart). Turns out that, like...

Heard a doctor on TV saying in this time of Coronavirus staying at home we should focus on inner peace. To achieve this we should always finish the things we start and that we could all use more calm in our lives. Sound advice, so I looked through my house to find things I'd started and...

I'm not offering medical advice. It's basic maths applied to officially published Imperial College data and is simply alerting people to the principles of exponential growth. A personal opinion, no different from thousands of other personal opinions expressed online.

I apologise in advance for the length of this post, which I wrote for a local residents’ community forum where my son lives (in London). He, and a few NSC friends (one of whom is medically highly vulnerable) with whom I have shared the article by email, have encouraged me to post it on NSC, in...

I live in a 10-house cul-de-sac along with quite a few elderly neighbours, many of whom are already beginning to struggle with the psychological anxiety of a potentially rigid and lengthy period of isolation (and its effect on their children and grandchildren) as well as the physical challenges...
