    [Other Sport] F1 2024

    Probably more like as The Colonel says re the car. Hamilton is within a hairs breath of having the overall most championships but he hasn't looked close to doing that in the Mercedes in the last few years (having been robbed by Michael Masi at Abu Dhabi). Time isn't on his side as he is now 39.

    [Brighton] Council imposing double council tax on second homes in Brighton & Hove.

    Pretty certain they are only converting on Victoria Road down to the sharp bend by Alexander Rose. Think there is only one unit that is still industrial and that is Bio Products (possibly a couple of others including a gym). No, I don't think the plan is to move the entire industrial estate...

    [Brighton] Council imposing double council tax on second homes in Brighton & Hove.

    Pretty certain councils weren't given the choice when the Tories promoted the 'Right to Buy' programme. Up to 1987, 1,000,000 council properties were sold but under Thatcher they were only building about 17,000 a year!!!

    [Albion] Brighton FA Cup Giant Kills

    Think you're right. Can only find Liverpool losing to Middlesbrough in the League cup in 1974.

    [Albion] Brighton FA Cup Giant Kills

    1974 Edit, I've just been trying to look it up but can't find it. Could have sworn it was Birmingham in the FA cup 1974 but will keep checking.

    Great days but not meeting the criteria of being the FA cup!!

    [Brighton] Council imposing double council tax on second homes in Brighton & Hove.

    What should happen is that any developer, instead of building so called affordable housing, should build units which are then transferred to the ownership of the council to provide housing. That way you start to rebuild the bank of social housing.

    [Brighton] Council imposing double council tax on second homes in Brighton & Hove.

    I do disagree. Pop currently 67m. It has been more than 50m since 1950. Do you think the country was overpopulated then!! Not sure we've ever been self sufficient as a nation, at least not the last 100yrs. As Napoleon said, we're a nation of shopkeepers aka traders.

    How on earth do you arrive at the belief the country is overpopulated by 20m?

    [Brighton] Council imposing double council tax on second homes in Brighton & Hove.

    Not entirely sure but there have been estates built off Valebridge Road to the east of the railway line on the north side of the town. As for south of folders lane, I'm guessing it's an opportunity for developers to make money. That area is a little more affluent than others which will...

    Because on the other side of town they're building 3500 homes including 3 schools and sports facilities!!

    [Albion] FA Cup challenge round 11

    I would think if you are in the main stand opposite the away fans you'd be absolutely fine. You don't have an allegience so guessing you're not going to leap for joy when we score our 1st/2nd/3rd/4th/5th etc (delete where applicable). You should speak to Wolves ticket office to see what they...

    [Albion] When will our fans turn?

    I don't think the policy is buy cheap sell big per se, it's about the overriding goal of being sustainable. Buying cheap, selling big is just one part of that. A good academy is another cog in the wheel as is robust succession planning. The more sustainable we are the morel likely that we are...

    [Football] Kyle Walker

    So the behaviour of Adam Johnson is not relevant to fans as were Lee Hughes, Lee McCormick etc, albeit at the worst ends of the spectrum. You think the behaviour of Walker and Grealish during lockdowns was not relevant.

    Incorrect, there was an armed insurrection. Guns aren't the only weapons people can use.
