My mum says: They're going like wild cakes I wouldn't let it touch me with a bargepole You haven't got a hope in China I wouldn't do it if you paid me tuppence Good Southwick girl. Kings Manor idiom.

Well done Jevs - best of luck on the night. That park is a Brighton institution; hope it stays forever and becomes a landmark for all future Brightonians.

Yes, it's a piece of writing containing opinions and thoughts. To recognise it, you would read it and understand that it contained thoughts and opinions. They are not particularly uncommon.

Exactly. Whatever the outcome, most people in this country will be very disillusioned. If they manage to pull it off, they will be geniuses.

Love that book - a great read. Unlike A Little Life, which marked the first time in about 15 years when I had to give up on a book - couldn't be bothered to soldier on for the inevitable onslaught of brutality, and was finding the characters really quite annoying anyway. Currently reading A...

8 January 1983, FA Cup 3rd round v Newcastle United. My memory of this is fragmentary.

I have some kind of compilation album by The Very Things and I have a very vivid memory of being in my early teens and hearing John Peel playing The Land of the Giants by The Cravats and thinking it was hilarious. Must give that a spin for the first time in 30 years later....

Totally agree. In the context of the murder of an MP a few months before, it's horrendous. How are any of us helped by this continual striving by one newspaper to drive wedges between people in society? It's a constant drip drip drip of sometimes subtle, mostly not very subtle attempts to...

I'm not sure any of this is going to end well. I'm a staunch remainer, but, if MPs vote not to trigger Article 50, there will surely be one hell of a mess - UKIP government anyone?

This is my position too. I'm trying hard; there are some snippets that are very nice, but it's a bit of a slog.

Another "unable to vote" from me...

I think we're agreed: if you're selling something or are looking for a new job or want to keep in contact with colleagues/random people you've met over the years, it can be a useful tool. If you don't want to do any of these things, it's pointless. I use it only for the latter of these reasons...

I have a few pairs and they have all made my feet/heels bleed before they became comfortable. Maybe I've got weird feet.

I quite often find this as well - there have even been times when a goal has been scored (I could tell from the crowd noise) and I didn't know which side had scored (usually a misplaced backpass or goalkeeping error). Keeps it interesting, I suppose.

Great read, thanks!

Red means run, son, numbers add up to nothin'

My pleasure. However, it should have said 3,310 B shares, not 1,500.

It's lunchtime, and I am an accountant: according to their Annual Return (at Feb 2016), Sky Ventures Limited own 7,724 (100%) of the A shares, there are 1,500 B shares, owned by a bunch of people, of whom Anna Beattie is the largest, holding 45.3%. The A and B shares seem to have equal rights...

I quite like the album, but one of the singers is definitely better than the other....
