Don’t know if this has been posted but if you want to hear a straight-talking, articulate epidemiology expert talking about Covid-19 then you may wish to watch this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3URhJx0NSw I found it to be highly informative and quite fascinating. Interestingly, he...

I'm 62 and work as a self-employed financial consultant to the airline industry. With my airline clients all severely struggling, haemorrhaging cash and laying off staff, their first cost cutting measure has (understandably) been external contractors, including me. As a result, all of my...

I hope that you are right. I’m aware from some good friends who work for Norwegian (in both Oslo and at Gatwick) that their CEO’s statement (see post #46) was specifically aimed at the Norwegian government in an attempt to push them to act with tangible financial support, and not just...

Absolutely this WS. I've been involved in the aviation industry for 34 years and during that time it has never ceased to amaze me how "creative" some airlines (and their governments) are in circumventing the state aid rules. Alitalia has, as you rightly say, regularly received bailouts but...

In my experience of flying with them, they offer an excellent product at fares many other carriers can’t match for similar service. They have been hit really hard by the triple whammy of a now 12-month Boeing 737 MAX grounding, perennial Boeing 787 RR Trent 1000 engine problems and – out of...

Really poignant and moving post PW; I said exactly this to my son recently. Despite the differences that may separate us in life, the Albion binds us all, regardless of all else. BG was very much part of that “BHA glue” and NSC and the Amex will be all the poorer for his absence. Seldom can a...

I never met BG or traded posts directly with him but I always looked out for his NSC contributions and then sat back and observed the often inevitable fallout that followed! With few exceptions most of his posts, and others’ responses thereto, seemed generally good natured and he never failed to...

I was at that game! 2 September 1978! Horton and Poskett got the other 2 goals and we won 4-1, having also had two goals ruled out for offside! It was a second half rout after a 1-1 HT scoreline. I went with a Millwall-supporting pal and we stood with the home fans. I had to sit on my hands and...

Thought he had a good game yesterday, improving as the game went on. Never stopped running. Did others notice that his substitution provoked the best and worst from the home fans? When substituted, in accordance with the new rules he left the field on the side of the pitch to which he was...

“Chartered Management Institute head Ann Francke said sports banter can exclude women and lead to laddish behaviour such as chat about sexual conquests.” I strongly disagree with that assertion. In more than 40 years of regaling my work colleagues about all matters BHAFC, the conversation has...

To be fair, PB thought the film was a documentary about the consequences of the Albion finishing 19th or 17th this season:)

Was thinking exactly the same; it's the Albion way! If we start slow and sit back and allow Bmuff to take the initiative it could be tricky. I just hope we have the confidence to take on Bmuff from the kick-off, like we did at the Amex, where the 2-0 scoreline flattered them. With a stronger...

From the subject title I thought this was going to be yet another thread about the Albion's upcoming fixtures over the next few weeks!

Went to watch my local club Stratford Town FC (Evo Stik Southern Premier) beat Boldmere St Michaels FC 6-1 in the FA Cup 1st Qualifying Round. Real end-to-end cup tie and I was impressed with both teams' "go for it" approach. It could have ended 10-5 but for some good goalkeeping and fluffed...

When you bought the flat, as part of the conveyancing process your solicitor should have required the seller to complete and sign a stock transfer form, requiring seller's share in the freehold company to be transferred into your name upon completion of your flat purchase. If that was not...

All things Brighton beautiful From defence to attack We love watching Potterball We’ve got our mojo back

This. No-one’s disputing that VAR is there to correct clear and obvious errors. What’s absolutely the case (for me at least) is that the cost we now have to accept for reaching the “technically correct” decision 99.9% of the time with VAR has totally eclipsed the benefits of a spontaneous goal...

Driving back home yesterday evening I listened to Talksh*te coverage of City vs Spurs. The commentators and studio pundits were falling over themselves to “will” City on to a win. I can’t recall having heard such a biased commentary in quite a while, but during the post-match phone-in City and...

BT Sport's "big brains" have predicted the Albion finishing safely in 16th, with Toon, Norwich and Sheff Utd in the bottom three. I'll be very happy if that happens!
