    [Football] Dorking Wanderers

    North Holmwood, so my childhood and teenage years were spent running around the common rather than trying to get in the Yeoman 😂. I used to be a regular at the King's Arms when I worked up the road at the business park, used to quite like going in the Bulls Head too.

    You mean the enormous shiny erection on the Deepdene roundabout? (Other double-entendres are available)

    [Football] Dorking Wanderers

    I grew up in Dorking too (well one of the villages just outside), and remember watching Wanderers predecessors from the car park behind M&S when they played Plymouth in the first round of the cup! The Malthouse is long gone now. After it lost it's license it spent time as a youth center...

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    Just the wounded who are being evacuated apparently.

    I managed a parkrun without a child in tow today... and got a season's best 20:11, AG 70.77%. Lose a few pounds and sub-20 is definitely in reach!

    [Football] Who Did You Come To Watch Yesterday

    Sounds about right. I'm guessing it would be 63/64 season, as Dad would have left school and started working in Brighton by then.

    [Football] Who Did You Come To Watch Yesterday

    I was looking forward to seeing Ronaldo, though that was secondary to just watching the Albion. My Dad mentioned having seen Stanley Matthews playing for Stoke back in the day, so I guess this sort of thing isn't new.

    [Albion] 25 years ago - Brighton & Hove Albion (91st) vs Manchester United (1st)

    I seem to remember Zoe Ball and Jamie Theakstone highlighting those very positions on Live and Kicking whilst wearing Manchester United and Brighton and Hove Albion shirts respectively.

    [Albion] Grounds We've Won At Often

    Having consulted the crib sheet I'm thinking it was the 2006 game. I left the game a few minutes early and got back to Guildford in time to watch Doctor Who! :D

    [Albion] Grounds We've Won At Often

    Was that the one where they scored from a corner that should have been our goal kick, and was then taken from way outside of the quadrant? I was there too.

    [News] Just Stop Oil

    Why take investment away from nuclear, we should absolutely be investing in that as part of the of the non-fossil fuel mix shouldn't we? Renewables have their own impacts on the environment don't forget. We only have so many roofs to put solar panels on for instance (rather than sticking them...

    [News] Just Stop Oil

    Understandably so, and lessons were learned from both those incidents and the more recent one at Fukushima. However it is possible to use other elements as a fuel starting point where cooling the reactor quickly is less problematic in an emergency than it was in all three of those incidents.

    [News] Just Stop Oil

    On my part? I'm genuinely interested as it happens. I think nuclear power has a lot of unnecessary stigma around it because of its historical association with, you know, bombs. Bit you don't need to have fields of solar panels, or to endanger the bird population with it, and that nasty...

    [News] Just Stop Oil

    I wonder what these people would think of a programme of building nuclear power stations as a cleaner solution to electricity generation?

    [Football] Were we ever this bad?

    There was a game back then when we beat Hull something like 3-0 at Boothferry Park despite having a player (or two?) sent off, and all you could hear on the radio was "We're shit, and we're beating you!" :D

    [Albion] Brighton Buses to replace bendy buses with double deckers

    You do know that Mill Road was used as a Park & Ride by the Albion before the bendy-buses came to Brighton? Worked just fine with standard single-deckers as I recall...
