    [Albion] Where in the league will we finish?

    I wouldn't be so sure. Hughton seems to be more of a fan of trusting those in possession of shirts and making those coming in earn it. I suspect we'll see a slow transition rather than drastic changes.

    Kraftwerk - More influential than the Beatles?

    It reminds me of a while back, all these middle aged white men getting their knickers in a twist because when Paul McCartney did that track with Kanye West, there were loads of young 'uns saying 'Who's this Paul McCartney?' I don't see why someone under the age of 25 really needs to know who...

    Kraftwerk - More influential than the Beatles?

    Here's the thing, if you look at the landscape of contemporary music this statement holds plenty of water despite the protestations of the rockists here. Modern pop music production is way more Kraftwerk than it is The Beatles and unless you're the type of person that only listens to white guys...

    [Drinking] Giving up drinking

    I'm not sure that term is at all helpful. It's completely subjective. Problem drinking is better. Is it a problem for you? How often and how bad? https://www.smartcjs.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/SADQ.pdf "The Severity of Alcohol Dependence Questionnaire was developed by the Addiction...

    [Politics] Brighton's homeless and that Victor Meldrew feeling

    It's not if the consequence of the policy position of one of those parties is to force people onto the streets. It's obviously not the whole story, of course.

    [Politics] Brighton's homeless and that Victor Meldrew feeling

    Where's the money for the extra police and council action coming from then (points 1,2 & 4)? Both have had budgets slashed since 2010.

    [Politics] Brighton's homeless and that Victor Meldrew feeling

    Homelessness was the lowest since records began in this country on 31 December 2010.

    [Politics] Brighton's homeless and that Victor Meldrew feeling

    And national Government seeing how this isn't a problem specific to Brighton and that homlessness in England has increased by 54% since 2010. We have a Government that pursues policies that are actively driving people onto the streets. Fine, if that's what we want, but to pretend otherwise is...

    [Politics] Brighton's homeless and that Victor Meldrew feeling

    Homelessness in England has increased by 54% since 2010. I wish I could think of something of political significance that happened around that time.

    Local noise-punks Sealings (either top or 2nd in SHC's bands he's seen most in his life stakes) have put a couple of tracks from their forthcoming new tape up on Bandcamp https://gobnation.bandcamp.com/album/scum-the-sound-of-music "'Sealings’ often feral live performances, once described as...

    [Music] The Live Music thread

    Not so much side projects now, I think it's only Oh Sees & Damaged Bug that are active. Similarly Ty Segall & Mikal Cronin had a band together called Epsilons which is worth checking out. And he also did a record with The Traditional Fools.

    Has anyone listened to John Dwyer's other projects? Coachwhips, Pink and Brown, The Hospitals & Damaged Bug all well worth a go.

    [Music] The Live Music thread

    Yeah, this was where I ducked out, it's been a nice ride. The two shows at The Hydrant (now Hare and Hounds) in 2010/11 will live long in my memory and an amazing late night slot on the small stage at the Godspeed ATP around the same era (when Bridget was still in the band.) There was also an...

    [Music] The Live Music thread

    Ha, yeah. And the 'old' track was released in 2010, 30 odd years into their career. They didn't even play the last track on 27 Passports did they, I assume because they've already been playing it live for a couple of years...

    [Football] Raheem Sterling - Pundits v Fans

    I thought he was superb against Sweden, scared the hell out of them with his pace, opening up space that simply wouldn't have been there without him and defended from the front fantastically. I do fancy him to win us a game before this tournament is finished.

    [Politics] Brexit

    To be fair to Gove (and God knows why I'm doing this) he stood for leader (sabotaging Boris Johnson in the process, maybe that's why I'm doing this) and now has a brief (Environment. Food & Rural Affairs) that is going to be heavily impacted by Brexit.

    [Politics] Brexit

    I think when the dust settles here, we might just think May has played a blinder (in a political sense I mean, WE'RE still ****ed.) You must remember with May she is pragmatism above ideology at all times, similar to Cameron and Blair. Firstly, she plays the 'ideology above all else' Brexit...
