12/13 seems surprising, with hindsight, maybe more so than 1997/98 and 2014/15. Or maybe I'm being unfair - it's just hard to remember him banging in that many goals.

87% - surely that's A-grade quizzing??

Oops - I included eight different ways that people might have spelled his name, but ironically didn't include just his surname. Sorry about that. If you'd typed in his first name as well as the correctly spelled surname, it would have been OK. Just the surname spelled correctly wouldn't have...

Nice gentle one for a Friday: http://www.sporcle.com/games/tinycowboy/brighton-and-hove-albion-top-scorers-per-season Will put up another one in the next week or so on BHA players at the Amex Stadium.

Well, even that has three stone-cold classics: Pump Up The Jam, Theme from S-Express and You Got The Love are all top notch. It's hard to find a rave compilation that's all bad....

I like the Epiphones too - I've had several and they've never let me down. I got my son an ESP for Xmas, and I do like the sound on it, very nice - cheap too - http://www.gak.co.uk/en/esp-ltd-ec-50-blks-black-satin/17293 If you pop into GAK in North Road, you could wile away an enjoyable hour...

Same happened to me with maths - once you're locked into the stream, it's pretty hard to get out, even if you get 90%+ in your internal school exams. Ironically I'm now an accountant, so I can't complain too much, although people still ask me about my maths A-level grade as it sticks out on my...

I'll defer to your opinion of grammar schools from 50-odd years ago, Dave, but I distinctly remember hearing different opinions on a documentary I saw on grammar schools - sounds like they may have been a mixed bag.

This is pretty much exactly what has happened - a halfway house between a state school and a private school for the middle classes. I'm "encouraged" as a parent to contribute £10 a month by direct debit to help the school - quite a potential income stream if there are 1,000 pupils and the...

I had Pyromania and really liked it at the time. Think my mum threw it away when I left home though. I'm a bit embarrassed about a compilation album I have - "Technohedz". Having said that, it's got a few crackers on it. My wife is always rude about my album "Love Songs of Smokie Robinson and...

I have one at a grammar, my second passed his 11+ yesterday. In my eldest son's year, I would guess that between 20%-40% of the boys went to a private school beforehand. I agree with you that it is not a tool for social mobility. The Sevenoaks case, it seems to me - having known one of the...

Also, I presume it isn't just wages and salaries that are reducing the profit to zero? I could be wrong, but I suspect there may be a large recharge to an overseas member of the Facebook group that is contributing to this?

Maybe they think it's becoming less original and more closely genre-based and will lose some of its oddity appeal - I think I'm with Stuart Munday on this: I'm hopeful, but prepared to be disappointed. The first series' appeal, apart from the nice, crisp shooting, the atmospherics (including the...

:mad:

Philistine - how can you dislike poetry yet like The Smiths? Unless you've only been reading Mr Shankly's poems, I suppose.

Quite nice, for fans of Antipodean indie: https://soundcloud.com/chaptermusic/the-goon-sax-sometimes-accidentally

I'm currently reading this on the train in the mornings (yes, I am a little pretentious, but also quite sensitive). It's technically a play, but you'd be hard-pushed to deny its/it's poetry.

It's tempting, but I'll stick with the Purple One from Dirty Mind through to Lovesexy - a triumph series of classic albums. Aren't you going to add Pelican West though?

Well, I've had a read and I'm a little disappointed - if he really has set up a 'private apppointment' just in order to avoid an embarrassing scene, then that seems a little unlike him - doesn't seem to be his style. However, his beliefs will put him in some awkward situations and there will be...

I'm prepared to be OUTRAGED by the most sickening revelation yet in respect of this subhuman communist dictator. Bring it on - I'm going to check this out.....
