    Burgers are, obviously, fast food. But that doesn't mean you can't have opinions on them, that you can't say that one burger place is better than another. I'd never make the argument that they're fine dining, that'd be idiotic, but to claim that all burgers are the same because they're fast food...

    Bong Bashing

    I would agree with the assessment that he was poor in the first half and then became magnificent in the second half. That's also true of a lot of the team, particularly in mid-field, but I think Bong improved by more than anyone on the pitch.

    Sure, but my point is the way you cook it does matter. A McDonalds burger doesn't taste the same as a Grubbs burger, let alone Burger Brothers.

    That's like saying all steaks are equivalent. A good steak cooked well is very different from a cheap steak cooked badly. Surely you think that's true?

    Then you haven't had a really good burger, or you lack taste buds.

    Uber Brighton

    I believe they have to abide by the licensed hire rules in Brighton too.

    Is anyone else stuck in the uni car park?

    Came out the bottom exit from the Uni and was literally nothing coming down off the dual carriageway. Possibly there's been an incident?

    City of Brighton & Hove In East Sussex?

    So there was a Lord Lieutenant of East Sussex prior to that? Even the Lord Lieutenant's website says it was just Sussex until 1974, when it was split into Lord Lieutenants for East and West Sussex. My essential point being that one of the definitions of county seems to be the area that a Lord...

    City of Brighton & Hove In East Sussex?

    Ah, I have (alas) been mislead by contradictory pieces of information on Wikipedia and other explanations of the Acts. While it says the East Sussex was not created a lieutenancy area until 1997, it also says there has been a Lord Lieutenant since 1974. So it would appear it didn't exist a...

    City of Brighton & Hove In East Sussex?

    Ah, interestingly, East Sussex County Council seems to have existed before East Sussex did (sort of). From 1889 East Sussex was an administrative county, while the lieutenancy area was still Sussex. In 1974 (based on the 1972 Local Government Act) it became a non-metropolitan county, which seems...

    City of Brighton & Hove In East Sussex?

    Yup. Brighton and Hove is in the Historical County of Sussex, and in the Ceremonial County of East Sussex. I believe East Sussex as a formal county was created in the 70s? It appears the Ceremonial County didn't exist until 1997 though.

    Baked Beans

    I will happily eat a fry up without beans, but beans are very welcome to be there. Are they as vital as sausages or bacon? No. But they still have a role to play.

    where should we strengthen?

    I reckon there'd be a few clubs after Ince, and just lump Manu in there too. Sure, it might lower the fee a bit, but he'd be gone.

    Which goal have you most gone batshit crazy when celebrating?

    The Ulloa goal against Forest. Was watching it in the pub and the whole place pretty much exploded. I started pounding the table for some reason and left my hands aching.

    Could The Club Run It's Own Train Service?

    Two Jericho references in two days? Clearly you have it.

    Put pressure on Southern and the Government to do something .

    They're aware. They're fully aware. As Caroline Lucas noted in the Argus "MPs have chased ministers down corridors, set up an All Party Parliamentary Group, put down parliamentary questions and written countless letters to those responsible for this mess.". So they know exactly what's going on...

    Shameful

    Do you know why this system was set up? It was because George III had those estates, but needed cash. So he gave the money from them to the Treasury, and they gave back some money on the bet that the estates would be worth more over time. It was a very, very good bet. As you point out, it's...

    Shameful

    The Crown Estates is not technically owned by the Monarch, but is effectively the Monarch's. It's complicated and dates back George III. If it is just the Sovereign Grant money that's going on it then the taxpayer isn't down any money. If a larger amount of the Crown Estates profits are spent on...

    Shameful

    Ah, thanks to Thunder Bolt for informing it's coming out of the Sovereign Grant. I have no issue with that really. If it's coming direct out of that, with no other tax payer money topping up etc..., I have no issue.

    Video Replays

    Agree with Easy 10 really, just too problematic and it's not really going to improve things. You look at the amount of time they spend pouring over marginal calls on MOTD and the like without coming to a definitive answer. So many calls are judgement calls, particularly when you look at elements...
