Duchatelet is now in the process of buying Alcorno (a Spanish 2nd Division side). People rightly concerned as to what the hell his overall plan is - looks to be having clubs all over Europe and loaning players between them in lieu of using the transfer market. Weird. Could become the norm if it...

The Christmas ones are usually dogshit. This one was actually OK. I did go into with incredibly low expectations though, given how even worse than dogshit the 50th anniversary one was. PS Bemused by people saying they follow the series and had never heard of the Papal Mainframe before - hasn't...

Given the public transport issues, you'll have to get their super early to be able to park within a mile of the ground. Up by the river or Westcombe Park or South of Charlton village are the best bets otherwise. Loads of superstore car parks on Bugsby Way, but Boxing Day shoppers will likely...

It's the one day of the year I don't drink.

Hm, gotta get from Brighton to Woking. Trying to work out which is likely to be more of a mission, the bus from Gatwick to Clapham Jct route or the epic (but all train-based) via Portsmouth route. Hm.

No-one is automatically on the electoral roll. Most people with any sense aren't. (Caveat: If you own property you most likely will be, but if you are stupid enough to own property being on the ER really is the least of your worries. IMHO.)

They pick names off the Electoral Roll. On the basis that anyone who is stupid enough to have their name on the Electoral Roll is stupid enough to agree to Jury Service.

As my doorbell doesn't work and I refuse to stay in all day, DPD are the only one of any use to me. Their hour delivery slot is brilliant when you work out it's actually less than an hour, eg if they send you a text saying your package will be delivered between 2.17pm and 3.17pm, you know their...

Dunno if SCX (Spanish brand) is still going but was way better than Scalextric. Filled my living room with £1,500 of it about fifteen years ago. Ice chicanes, jumps etc. All sorts of stuff Scalextric didn't have. Ninco supposed to be pretty good too. Scalextric is cheap and nasty, the Fosters of...

Genuinely amazed there are still meat eaters around. Even mates who used to do 3-4 BK Whoppers in a go are all now veggie/vegan. I couldn't give a stuff either way myself (been veggie since '81 but I hate all animals and support others killing and eating them). Just assumed Brighton was 75%...

I won't. Meangingless game. Meaningless competition. Only for plastics.

Not necessarily. Many venues (not sure about the Amex) miss out row I and/or O as they look confusingly like numbers. But correct in essence.

Amazed by some of the most ignorant comments I've ever read on the internet earlier in this thread. People saying the Lostprophets (whoever they are) guy's crimes "make no sense as loads of women fancied him". WTF? There are still people in the 21st Century naive enough to think paedophilia is a...

I hear they brought their quiet equipment then switched to the loud when they heard who lived nearby.

What sort of person even goes to bed before 5am on a Saturday night? Jeez, you must lead a boring life...

I like that he said that, makes him seem more human than other politicians. That's negated by the fact he's spent the past few weeks saying it wasn't crack in the crack pipe. Even more worryingly he is openly racist, which is a pretty big issue for the Mayor of a city that famous includes...

Obvious hoax as a quick google confirms. Has been doing the rounds in one form or another since 2004 too. Sad indictment on the state of today's media that legitimate news sites are carrying it.

Beer in Brighton has always been more expensive than beer in London (certainly in the 20-ish years I've been able to compare the two). An average Central Brighton pub is about 20p a pint more than an average Central London pub and has been as long as I can remember. Conversely, I imagine the...

Can only assume the OP has never ordered draught Peroni before. It costs circa £5 a pint everywhere in Brighton that sells it and always has done. As it's known as a premium bottled lager they had to pitch it up when they launched it on draught in the UK to not cannibalise the bottle sales. Rest...

WTF. Presumably everyone on here is in their twenties? Almost everyone in their thirties/forties will say the One2One M300. The first ever affordable mobile (£300 - piss-cheap for a mobile in those days and with free calls to local landlines included), it single-handedly created the whole...
