Just in case anyone is taking this seriously, the SNP proposals for independence have always (for as long as I can remember) included keeping the Queen as a constitutional monarch, along the lines of Australia and Canada. Except in the wackier fringes of the nationalist movement there is no...

For whatever reason, CMS has decided to "protect" his tweets so they can't be read by just everyone. This also means that you can't just follow him on Twitter: you put in a request to follow him and he has to approve it. He currently has 14,438 followers. I really hope there's some (rather...

Quite. I enjoyed seeing some of that patient build-up play just outside the Wrexham box trying to tease their defence apart, which I'm guessing is something that Gus wants as an attacking option. It works well enough for Spain, after all. Most Championship defences we've played wouldn't...

I recommend Twitter. OfficialBHAFC always posts the starting eleven and subs as soon as it's public.

I'm still not convinced by the Olympics, although if I'm honest it's because I think it's going to be massively expensive and a bit embarrassingly crap -- if it's massively expensive but organised competently enough then I'll probably get into the spirit of it. We've got tickets for a day of...

My wife and I have ordered a delivery from Balti Express nearly every week for nearly ten years. (Yeah, we're creatures of habit.) We occasionally try other takeaways only to be disappointed by inferior food for extra cost. For your basic British curry menu done really well I don't think they...

Hope & Social - Bull & Gate The Canadian showcase afternoon at The Great Escape - Komedia Tim Minchin - Brighton Centre The Bluetones - Concorde 2

Sorry for somehow double-posting that ^^ - not actually sure how it happened. Have replaced the second copy with this apology as I can't see a way delete a post.

Not half as grim as some submissions, but the one that springs to mind is this: Came back from holiday to find that the pigeons nesting outside our flat had (presumably) been scared off by the cats staring out the window at them. The pigeons left behind two chicks to die and start decomposing...

We've come back from 2-0 behind before this season.

Let's get some stats on this: after Burnley, how do you feel about singing the Great Escape tune?

Some quality suggestions so far. I fancy something a bit more anthemic, though. I'm too much of a n00b on NSC to post easily clickable linky goodness but you can see what to do with this URL: music.hopeandsocial.com/track/marching-on-through I would pay good money to hear that just once. I...

Maybe they were before, but now they're S**T.

Yes. Saw one on Saturday when I was out failing to do my Christmas shopping. I remember because I hadn't noticed it before and it suddenly occurred to me that Brighton had been lacking a joke shop. Sadly it didn't make enough of an impression that I can remember where I saw it. (Sorry.)...

I understand that there's a waiting list of 2,000 potential STHs who might have a different opinion... It would be a shame not to take advantage of the momentum that the club has at the moment. Better transport would be better (obvs, sorry) but I'd rather have the extra seats even with the...

For me he was far and away the best thing in it (and there was a lot of other stuff that I liked). IMDB tells me that he (Daniel Kaluuya) has been doing telly for a while but I first noticed him earlier this year when he stole every scene he was in in The Fades on BBC3. I can't wait to see...

I've been on a bumpy ride of emotions tonight. 1. Damn, it's going to take some time to get home. 2. Meh, might as well take a bit of time out in London, have something to eat, see if the trains sort themselves out. 3. Oh, Victoria station's still quite busy, don't know if I'll get on a train...

I wouldn't be surprised to see Vicente on January 2nd. If he's only going to be fit for a limited number of games I can see Gus saving him for the ones that matter most (to Gus).

Ambience can be a bit flat depending on how busy it is but for a proper foodie treat in Hove I don't think you can beat Graze. It's my firm belief that the only reason it doesn't have a Michelin star yet is because its service isn't snooty (...or sometimes efficient) enough. Food's great, though.

I gave once, was done in double-quick time, then literally could not sit up for more than ten seconds without all the (remaining) blood draining from my head and having to lie down again. Ended up blocking the bed for nearly half an hour before the nurses managed to support me stumbling to...
