    [Politics] What do you call the police?

    Polis, sometimes, although if it's the only Scottish word in a sentence it usually sounds a bit out of place.

    [Football] Lamps

    I'm not sure that the chairman's 'ed is on-screwed correctly.

    [Albion] Liverpool vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    Sometimes you just have to stand back and admire the world-class football that the other team is playing. At least, that's what I learned from our players today.

    [Technology] Oculus Rift

    It's not directly comparable to the Oculus Rift, but I got the PlayStation VR headset just before Christmas and I haven't found any games that take really good advantage of it yet, so it still feels a bit "expensive novelty" to me. That said, I don't regret buying it at all: some of the novelty...

    [Technology] What is your 1 favourite computer / console game?

    It was only when I recently read this history of Lemmings that I was reminded that it had a genius but overlooked two-player mode. Never has a game so nurtured my petty, vindictive and simply cruel side. You won by getting more Lemmings into your exit than your opponent's on a shared landscape...

    [Humour] Joke du Jour.

    Not a great effort, but it huss to be said that it's a whelkome break from arguing about a Palace breamback.

    [Albion] Schelotto injury

    That loophole was closed a while ago. As long as the quote isn't mangled by the person posting it, the text will be hidden if the quoted user is on your ignore list.

    [Albion] MOTD goal of the month Feb, Vote Jose

    Voted. It's not even ballot box stuffing when he actually deserves it.

    [Albion] Atmosphere today

    I'm on the fence now. I've been strongly against it these last few weeks but belted out today by a nearly full ground it sounded great. Well done everyone.

    [Albion] Win the FA Cup or stay up this season?

    Probably. When we've suffered an undeserved 4-0 loss to Chelsea I can cheer myself up by thinking back to the Wigan game and the promotion celebrations and reminding myself why we're here, and what promotion meant to us as fans, and it helps to put it in the perspective of the rollercoaster ride...

    [Albion] Win the FA Cup or stay up this season?

    Clearly it wouldn't be the relegation side of the trade-off that we would be celebrating. Much as I love the Championship, that's not a moment to treasure. We'd be going mental at winning the cup.

    [Albion] Win the FA Cup or stay up this season?

    I assume that all the people who have voted "stay up" will be charging onto the pitch to celebrate if we secure 17th place at the Amex against Man U, because it will mean so much to them.

    [Food] So what is the king of curries?

    Oh so very much this. Can't remember what spasm of curiosity or boredom led me to the "Chef's Specials" section of the Balti Express menu but the Naga was like discovering curry all over again. It's been my go-to curry choice ever since. As long as I know that I'll have ready access to toilet...

    [Albion] Boro Away - Ticket info post #83 "attendance data will be obtained from Middlesbrough"

    Thanks for the warning. Took me a fair bit of googling to find a more useful seating plan than this: which just seems to show that the Riverside has a football pitch with some seats in four stands around it. Surprisingly it was premierleague.com that came up with the goods with this, which I...

    [Football] Would you take 17th final position?

    My targets for the season keep evolving. But I'll still take 17th, with one condition -- as long as we also finish above PaLLLLLLL_L_Lace.

    How agonising/heroic will Scotland's failure to reach the World Cup be?

    Well done to the lads for keeping our hopes alive for one more game. Has any other team ever kept qualification / getting out of the group stage mathematically possible in so many tournaments for so long and failed so many times? There's something wrong, though, in that we're not hoping for a...

    Ad-blocking

    Not intentionally, but I do block 3rd-party javascript (NoScript Firefox plugin) and that seems to be suppressing the ads. I try to remember to use the Amazon affiliate link but as NSC's affiliate fee probably doesn't make up for the tax they're dodging on my orders I don't shop there often...

    [Football] Premier League 30/9 - 1/10

    That's just made-up bollocks. Where on earth do they think Palace are going to get thirty (30) points from?

    Palace- PL Records they could smash this season

    Blimey, some teams really have had miserable seasons at this level. Reminds me not to get too carried away with our adequate start, as we're still in competition for a lot of those records ourselves.
