    [Albion] Is this next years home shirt ???

    It's a retro design. Goes back to the late 60s. Very West Brom. I really like that design although I don't know that we would have it. Our current shirt, in my view, is one of our worst ever. I hope we can put out something decent next year. A take on the late 70s Bukta would be great.

    [Football] FA Cup Replays Scrapped

    From a personal perspective, I have questioned the need for replays since forever. Going into a cup draw as an 'or' is no fun (mind you, they do draws before the round is complete and I don't think they should) A match that needs to be finished on the day is more drama. 90 minutes then straight...

    [Politics] Worst PM since Thatcher

    Should be 60-40 for a binding referendum. Opinions change with the wind and for such a huge constitutional change it has to be a set opinion and a clear majority+ for change. You only have to look at the fluctuations for Scottish Independence to see that a result could change from one month to...

    [Football] Metric Measurements On The Continent

    If anyone quotes me anything in metres I always instinctively reply ' What's that in English ?' They always know what I mean. I always look at metre to feet conversion. In fact, I didn't know how many centimeters there were to a metre until recently. I guessed from the Latin 😂

    [Football] Metric Measurements On The Continent

    Since when did the penalty area become an 18 yard box anyway ? I'm clearly not up with this modern football speak.

    [Music] Pet Shop Boys

    I think I made my point badly. They don't sound dated at all to me. I just think that, mostly, they would pass by the Generation Z on.

    [Music] Pet Shop Boys

    I'd say Glast is more discerning. Music folk. It's interesting how you refer to your own kids. When I was last in an office most of the staff were around 20 years younger. It was always noticeable that those who had parents who were into music were clued up on the great bands, the others not. I...

    [Music] Pet Shop Boys

    I'd disagree that they were underrated. Just dated now. They were massive here and on the other side of the pond in their heyday. Number 1s both sides. I saw them at Brighton Pride in 2017. A third of the audience loved them, a third didn't know who they were, and the other third were so off...

    [Politics] Liz Truss **RESIGNS 20/10/2022**

    I always have reservations about an MP who puts a leaflet through your door with a page that has four pictures of them on. A local MP once had a pamphlet which gave the impression of being a local news update. It mentioned his name, from memory, 17 times over four pages. I made Tweet about it...

    [Cricket] Sussex CCC - 2024 edition

    Raman Subba Row has passed away. For those of us who are really old. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/68847875 As a kid I was fascinated by his name more than anything. But his brief Test career wasn't too shabby. Was the oldest living English Test player at time of passing. As well as a...

    [Politics] Sunak's benefits shake up

    Here's an irony. I've have had mental health issues for 16 years but have been determined to work. I work from home and am very well respected in my job not least because of a 'can do' attitude (this really is ironic as I write it when the events of this policy are discussed). I have reasonable...

    [Albion] Is this next years home shirt ???

    This year's Albion home shirt ranks among the worst ever for me, along with the Sandtex weirdness of the 90s. The club talk about sales, but folk buy any old shit with the badge on. It's compulsion. That's why they change it each year.

    Those minus Middlesex and Yorkshire (who will be added in 2027) Somerset and Essex got funding. Sussex, Northants and Leicestershire got a pat on the head and told to run along now.
