    Brewdog Brighton - it's happening - it's here!

    Positive. Ish Ali, ents officer at Sussex Uni Student Union set it up initially as part of the SU, then took it 'professional' when he left Uni. He was banned from being a company director in 2000 due to financial mismanagment, and Essential closed in 2002. Very brief summary here (Google if...

    Brewdog Brighton - it's happening - it's here!

    Brewdog officially signed the deal for their Brighton bar at the start of May (several weeks before BTC announced their sudden 'enforced' closure). Realistically, given the enquiries/discussions/surveys etc talks would have been going on for at least a month or two prior. If they have taken over...

    NSC now in it for £££

    God you're even more annoying than I am.

    Brewdog Brighton - it's happening - it's here!

    That music complaint thing was bollocks, as the Council have confirmed. The chancers that ran the Blind Tiger had already decided to bail (that was actually the fourth different location of the Blind Tiger, each one they closed up and bailed from) and having just sold people £90 annual...

    Diego poyet playing for charlton Saturday

    On his way from Charlton by all accounts. To a mid-table PL team's reserves, presumably.

    The Scot in the crowd celebrating with the Uruguayans tonight...

    I went for the atmosphere and adventure. Not knowing what city you will be in from one day to the next is enervating. I highly recommend it.

    The Scot in the crowd celebrating with the Uruguayans tonight...

    No we didn't. Our capacity is 27,111 so I imagine our highest average gate in the PL was 26k tops. I'd rather not read a Charlton board, thank you - the majority of our fans are pond life.

    The Scot in the crowd celebrating with the Uruguayans tonight...

    No, I'm not there. Nor am I watching it. I confess I watched Iran v Nigeria in a pub (being educated I don't keep a television myself) but purely because a rubbish Charlton striker plays for Iran and I had a three pound bet on him to score. I haven't seen even a single second of any other game...

    The Scot in the crowd celebrating with the Uruguayans tonight...

    I have been abroad many times - many times to watch Charlton, but also to World Cup and Euro finals, to watch German and Finnish league games, Icelandic and Swedish cup finals, etc etc. There's nothing wrong with watching football abroad, as the Scotland dude is doing. What is wrong is the...

    Never cheered when Palace lost a Premier League game then? Bad losers on here tonight.

    The Scot in the crowd celebrating with the Uruguayans tonight...

    Obviously Scots or people of Scottish extraction living in Brazil. Find the crying on here astonishing. I'm glad England got knocked out - World Cups are the domain of the plastic (people who care as much about football as most of the folk who watch Wimbledon or the Boat Race care about...

    counties in england never to have a league side....ever, ever EVER?

    Er, Surely that's a modern sign? This is about current ground locations in relation to original English county geography (ie going back to the 15th century or whatever), not about where county boundaries currently are. Love that you're getting in a hissy fit re Bristol City being in Somerset yet...

    counties in england never to have a league side....ever, ever EVER?

    On a slight tangent, is Cornwall the only county to have had (and still have) a professional rugby side but never a professional soccer side? I also love that the current ground of Penzance & Newlyn RFC (Cornish Pirates) actually has its halfway line along the border of the two towns. Do any...

    Any tribute from FIFA for the deaths of workers building the stadia?

    Sad to hear about those seven, but ten died constructing the Channel Tunnel and there are no tributes or minute silences on Eurostar trains either. These are - sad as they may seem - acceptable levels of 'attrition' for major building projects (the same way not every deployed soldier will...

    Are you happy to pay for a tv licence?

    Board games (once you've bought them) cost nothing. Reading library books costs nothing. Making friends on the internet costs nothing. Most entertainment is free and a hundred times more enervating that watching a black box full of idiots. If you really want to watch the World Cup on TV (being a...

    Are you happy to pay for a tv licence?

    Don't pay for a TV licence. Don't own a TV. Don't watch TV. Genuinely don't understand why anyone would. I guess some people must have sad empty lives, but I'm glad to say I don't know any other TV owners personally either. Didn't think Brighton was the sort of place where anyone would need a...
