    Eastbourne pier is on fire

    Very much hope it is snuffed out before it reaches the pier end. The big building at the end still houses the old theatre. Used to work on the pier for a long summer back in the 90's (days of the Balloon Factory, Channel Bar (Chris Mannion playing his enormous organ for the old bids) and The...

    The albums thread - 2014

    Quite simply. This. Best kept secret in music. Criminally ignored for so long. Ten albums in, the last 7 of which have been consistently fabulous. Will also throw another album that arrived on my doorstep on Monday with the above. Tesla's 'Simplicity'. Love, love, love it. And them. Always...

    Upgrading Kids season ticket match by match...please help

    Yes. Very easy. I have two under 18 season ticks for my kids and when they can't attend games on 'school nights', one simply phones the ticket line, pay the difference to upgrade to an adult and the card is 'upgraded' automatically for that individual game. Very easy indeed.

    St. Paul & The Broken Bones

    Amazing. The 'next big thing', apparently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EQA2uEU2xo

    The Greatest Guitar Solo. Rock, Pop, Classical or otherwise.

    Respect to Nitram re: 'Stranglehold'. One of the best ever, even if the man himself is a complete bell end these days. Nugent that is. Not Nitram. In the hope of offering a couple of worthy contributions (and having been a died in the wool 'metal head' for the last 30+ years, I hope I might be...

    "Tomasz Kuszczak close to return to the Premier League"

    Well done you, Drew. You are correct again. The clip shows just how cringeworthy the error was. "Punt it into Row Z, Ankers ........ ".

    "Tomasz Kuszczak close to return to the Premier League"

    Are you sure? One might recall the 3-3 at home to Leeds in our first Amex season, where Ankers showed just how marvellous he could be. Injury time, we're 3-2 up and he collects the ball for what should have been the last meaningful play of the game. But alas, no. He panics, immediately punts the...

    Gus getting 'Fed up'

    This quote is very telling: "The ball barely left our half for the first 5 mins. Passing around back and forth with the back 7. Back 4, Catts, Jack and Ki. This tippy tappy keeping the ball isnt constructive football when its confined to your own half. If Gus wants fans to cheer when we score...

    The New Hotel - Original Artists Impression

    Edna's absolutely spot on. Working for "the worlds largest hotel group", I can tell you that a hotel is an excellent investment. But I would say that, right? Hotel investors, owners and franchisees often make a full return on their investment, with a good brand name on the front of the...

    This Argus letter writer doesn't rate the Amex catering too highly

    Exactly right. This has even happened on the Candy Wagon. The former joy to be found in the ritual purchase of a bag of sour dummies has been dented slightly this season by the fact that there is has been a significant reduction in the number of dummies in each bag (guessing we've gone from 150g...

    [Albion] Getting any new recruits to the Albion cause?

    Spoke with a Sheff Weds fan on Monday. Met me with a, "so, you made the play-offs then. Well, you lot definitely ain't going up". Then had the cheek to ask me to take him to next seasons game against The Owls.

    Has the Internet been a great success or will it ultimately be a great disaster?

    ..... Which is why more and more people are using search engines like DuckDuckGo DuckDuckGo It's not beyond the realms that, one day, Google could go the same way as MySpace, Bebo, AOL et al. It's been said that if a service is free, then it's you who is the product. Well, as some of the above...

    It's all about wages

    I agree that something has got to give. Chelsea released their annual accounts last week and it was reported that their wage bill was £481,468. Per day. Staggering, isn't it. Surely that is the definition of insanity, no? Interesting to understand what expectations smaller clubs, such as...

    Let's hear it for Kazenga .....

    Now that is how you grab an opportunity to make your mark with both hands (or feet). Credit to the lad. Along with the formation switch when he came on, the effect he had on the game was immediate and immense. Really pleased for him.. Kaz was practically 'unplayable' tonight and one hope this...

    The Snip

    It's one of those things that seems to be be dependent on how skilled your doctor is. After our third and last arrived, I had no hesitation in getting snipped. Seriously, it was done in a little over ten minutes, strolled out and walked a mile to the station with nothing more than a vague...

    Nights out in Brighton for the more discerning gentleman - ideas please.

    Just out of interest ... If one were to end up in a 'gentlemans establishment' at the end of a night, any suggestions for where? No doubt there's good and there's bad, while recognising the universally accepted premise that you will be fleeced completely, regardless of where you go.

    Nights out in Brighton for the more discerning gentleman - ideas please.

    Are all the clubs *really* that bad now? I know from my Uni days that Brighton offered the full range - from 'cheese' to 'meat market' and plenty besides. Rarely hear a good word said about the scene now. Too much fighting and too many beered-up bellends, right?

    Nights out in Brighton for the more discerning gentleman - ideas please.

    Liking the sound of the North Laine. "...embracing the counter-cultural and community ethos of Brighton’s most colourful and independent quarter". The more counter-cultural, the better, in my book. Thanks for the tip.
