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

    Am arranging a stag do for a 41 year old and a following group of 30/40 somethings. Day time fun and games all sorted and looking at spending a Friday and Saturday night in our beloved city. However, having not lived locally for a long time, I am (perhaps foolishly) asking the wise folk of NSC...

    Regarding Closure of East Exit from University Car Park 1 post match

    Just like to add to the other poster who has highlighted the inexplicable closure of the east exit from University Car Park 1 onto Knights Gate Road. This was open all last season and for the first couple of games this term. I would love to know why it was closed on Friday night and would like...

    British sporting success - will 'football' ever learn?

    Simply that your assertion is well wide of the mark. That was my point.

    British sporting success - will 'football' ever learn?

    Yeah, rugby and pretty much any other sport you can think of, no? Name me another one where they are held in as low esteem as football, boxing aside. And you have clearly never played rugby at any serious level.

    British sporting success - will 'football' ever learn?

    I very much hope there is a bandwagon to jump on. Y'know, start debate, get enough of a consensus to challenge the status quo, keep up the momentum, influence policy and force change, etc, etc Nowt wrong with that.

    British sporting success - will 'football' ever learn?

    After an incredible summer at the Olympics and Paralympics and Andy Murray's heroic victory in the US Open last night, we are truly witnessing a phenomenal period of success for British sport. We have athletics clubs and velodromes, sailing clubs and boxing gyms apparently inundated with...

    David Lopez (formerly of Athletic Bilbao) signs one year deal!!! (merged)

    YouTube - Broadcast Yourself. This dude is 'quality'. Clip from some Spanish chat show. Our Mr Lopez arrives at c. 4mins, but check out c. 6mins for further evidence of his dead ball skills and some fantastic Latino commentator action. I think he quite liked the goal. Hilarious.

    Best live band you have ever seen?

    Not everyone's cup of tea but the sheer force of nature that is Slayer is something to behold. As close to a 'biblical' experience as you're likely to get. Followed closely by Twisted Sister and Iggy & The Stooges, both containing probably the greatest front men in rock. Biggest surprise band...

    Is 'three' the lowest number of English players we've ever fielded in a starting XI?

    Foreign football atmospheres

    Went to the Warsaw derby a few years ago. Legia v. Polonia. Amazing atmosphere ...... the coins and bricks dropping at our feet and flying by our heads only adding to the sense of occasion. And we were sitting right next to their equivalent of a VIP section too. Truly democratic about their...

    Describe your AMEX neighbours

    I moved from front of ESL to ESU and last night, everyone around me looked just fine and dandy. Which is not what they'll be saying this morning about yours truly. Given my eldest two are at summer camp currently, I took my wife and three year old. To say the wee lad got a bit excited is a bit...

    Apple To Bid For Premiership Rights

    It will never, ever happen you say. Don't be so sure. Apple have big designs on the world of content and TV content is most definitely in their sights. Buying into a TV 'product' with such global appeal opens up all sorts of possibilities for them. Check this out ... Here Comes Apple's Real TV...

    Harley

    It's odd how a lot of people are now laying into Navarro. Surely there is some degree of correlation between his return to the first team and getting three wins in four, the wider 'team' playing with a little more verve and confidence and (dare I say it), his presence allowing Harley to express...

    Lewes Bonfire

    If Lewes is too mental for some, then why not try East Hoathly on Saturday 12th? Same bonfire societies, easier to get beered up, just as impressive bonfire and, dare I say, better fireworks display. Perhaps not quite as big as it was in it's heyday (70's/80's) but still a special night.

    Ryan Harley. I just don't get it.

    Sorry, but thought he was totally ineffective on Tuesday. His inactivity and inability in making himself available for the pass forward from defence caused us a number of problems. Against palace, I lost count of the number of times we gave possession away in our own half through a rushed or...

    Catering Experience at Amex

    Waiting the usual 15 minutes to get served last night (in the East), the lad behind the counter said they were understaffed behind the scenes, so ... this could have explained why, at 7:15pm, they had almost run out of everything except steak & kidney pies. I know, it's far better than the...

    What is NSC's favourite comedy of all time?

    Wisdom Tooth Please

    You have my every sympathy. Had all four wisdom teeth taken out just this last Monday. Can't say I'm feeling the benefit just yet as still a little sore but would echo the points made thus far about having them out. Get it done. And quick. Especially of you got any impacted (as I had). Can cause...

    The Wire

    Season 4 is, in my view, the best season of the lot. May sound like a bit of a departure with a bunch of new characters thrown in and something of a different primary focus (i.e. the school system) but as with the previous seasons, the story it tells is as compelling as ever. Brilliant. Just...
