    Albion ex-pats: are you heading back for the play-offs?

    BeIn Sport I would think, seeing as they had the Championship games this season. Can now get that channel on Verizon/FIOS which is a bonus - well at least in Northerrn Virginia it is now an add on channel.

    CARNAGE in DICKS today

    "If you like it then it's worth your time too, if not then why bother whinging?" Odd isn't it? In most other walks of life if you see something/hear something you don't care for, you walk away, I guess some folk feel more empowered when tooled up with the internet. I'm sure if Hova and all the...

    Who was a better Prime Minister than Margaret Thatcher in your lifetime - if anyone?

    Staggering to think that John Major was PM for 7 years! All I remember is his Spitting Image! Best PM in my lifetime, Howard Wilson.

    Up against the wall,Tom Robinson band.

    one of my friends at Primary School was Mark Ambler - keyboards for part of the TRB story, very talented and arguable one of the strongest influences in their music

    Urgent please help stop my photographer and his wife being deported

    I think OTLW should set out the full facts of the case in plain English, trying not to use tabloid style attention getting phases like deported etc Is he a British citizen, I thought he was? Has being out of the country changed his status in somewhere - and if so what impact does this have...

    Urgent please help stop my photographer and his wife being deported

    I'm not entirely sure that I understand how that could be possible. I suppose biologically it could be possible, but highly unlikely! But that isn't the issue here is it - authorities aren't challenging his UK citizinship - at least so I thought? Or have they gone back on that? At least in the...

    Urgent please help stop my photographer and his wife being deported

    I don't get all the emotion and sensationalism. He's British (despite some confusion on behalf of the authorities) and at NO risk of deportation She's Canadian They are married. They wish to live in the UK as a married couple. To do so they are required by UK immigration law to satisfy...

    Looks like Brighton v Arsenal/Swansea will be shown live on Fox Soccer in the US

    In refernce to the hairstyle comment: Not intentionally, but I get your point!! It really amazes me how it landed that role. He just never looks at ease in front of the camera, I suppose he's an ex pro so can speak with some authority but he comes across as so much from a different era of tha...

    Looks like Brighton v Arsenal/Swansea will be shown live on Fox Soccer in the US

    Well I recall that NBC paid (I think) $250m for the rights, way above the competing bids. So far as I'm aware some/all the channels come as part of my verizon FIOS package, what I am less sure on is can NBC charge a premium for some/all of them, rather like FSC+ (or rugby as it seems to be)...

    Looks like Brighton v Arsenal/Swansea will be shown live on Fox Soccer in the US

    Yep, curtains for Barton I reckon. Who knows who NBC will use, but the whole set up will surely be more professional than FSC. Granted it's a bit better than last seasons woeful efforts, and the boring Scottish bloke droning on for hours on end, without any visuals, has been dropped to the...

    Looks like Brighton v Arsenal/Swansea will be shown live on Fox Soccer in the US

    See AZ Gull's post above - generally I don't think beIN is as available as Fox, but I may be wrong.

    Looks like Brighton v Arsenal/Swansea will be shown live on Fox Soccer in the US

    Good. I've missed Fox not showing any of the Championship games this season. Next season the EPL action goes out on NBC, not Fox, and they are, I do believe, showing EVERY game live, courtesy of their multiple channel set up - they used this technique for blanket Olympics coverage. Obviously...

    US election LIVE

    Projected result is a very important analytical tool. If a Sate looks very close on the % of the vote counted, scrutiny of likely voting intentions of those counties in that State yet to return can very accuratly predict the outcome. Things analysts will look for include previous voting...

    **** Official middle-aged man's Craft Beer thread ****

    Could well be although I suspect more a reference to the mid atlantic geographic market, reinforcing the limited output etc and not a mass produced product. Having said that though some craft beers are now available coast to coast, Sierra Nevada is one which is pretty much available anywhere as...

    **** Official middle-aged man's Craft Beer thread ****

    Seems to be continued confusion as to what craft beer is, generally I would say it is small to mid size independents creating a range of traditional and innovate styles, from across the whole spectrum of beers. It's not home brew as it is available commercially, although you could argue the...
