Came across this in an article by Vic Marks just after Greig died. Interesting to see how his England figures stand up to those of Botham and Flintoff. Not sure I would have put Greig in the same bracket, but his figures are pretty good! Packer's intervention, which was regarded by many as a...

It would be great if energy could all come from the renewal sector, but even in Germany, where they have gone for wind energy in a big way, they seem to be recognising its limitations now. http://thebreakthrough.org/index.php/programs/energy-and-climate/germanys-green-energy-bust/ "But...

Just been reading Stephen Fry's autobiography, Moab is my washpot, and he uses the C word all the time. As he's National Treasure, it must be ok...

Given that we are missing Bridcutt, Bruno CMS and Orlandi at the moment, and Bridge and Hammond have moved on, it's hardly surprising that the team isn't playing as well as last year. There were effectively 4 dev squad payers involved on Saturday which shows how thin the squad is and the urgent...

I appreciate what you are saying, but actually new business can hurt and in extreme situations, destroy a business. On many occasions in my job I have seen small businesses dash for growth without a business plan in place and although turnover increased substantially, in fact they actually make...

It's too noisy! You are right, there is a strange echo that makes conversation impossible. Given up on it. BTW, 28/29 drops off right outside the Swan, my favourite bus!

Why do we need a town centre presence? 1. With 30k attending games at the Amex, which has the megastore they can browse in every week or so, how many new fans are missing out? Very few! 2. Where do people go these days for information, do they get a bus or drive into town, where they can't...

He did a good job and I thank him for that, but no manager in the club's history has had the financial backing that he had and I'm sure there are many good managers out there who would have got us promoted and survived in the championship given the same resources. Maybe they wouldn't have got us...

WTF! getting skittled out by bowlers who would struggle against my Sunday cricket side!!! Robbo, what the hell is going on? From the Argus website... "Oh dear. That's an awful shot from Brown. Had looked good up until then but he clipped Wayne Madsen's first ball straight to midwicket. He looks...

Thanks for that, interesting to hear. Car is due for its first service shortly so I'll get them to look at it properly.

DAB radio is the biggest con going. Reception poor or non existent in many parts of the country. Got a new car last year with digital radio, great I thought, Planet Rock wherever I go. Not a chance! No signal from Carden Avenue up A 23 until well past Crawley, broken reception around Brighton...

Have you tried this? http://www.camra.org.uk/planning the problem is that pubcos see more money in redevelopment that in pubs. I expect the usual thing has happened in that a manager was put in place a couple of years ago to run it down so the owners can show it's not viable then they can...

Sodexo are basically a school and hospital caterer where the food is crap and nobody complains. I know the club said the contract is with a division of the company called Sodexo Prestige, but they seem to think that as we are just football fans they can palm us off with any old rubbish and they...

Same for me, started Friday afternoon. No problems on any other sites. Any useful hints to sort it please?

As his suspension has been lifted and as far as we know he's back from his hols, has he actually returned to work? If so, what is he doing with Gus still suspended?

So he told his lawyers not to bother him while he was away for almost 4 weeks, it was so unimportant to him that it could wait til he got back... His future, reputation and potentially millions of pounds are at stake here, so he switched off his phone and ipad and just lay on a beach? Sounds a...

If only someone had invented emails and smart phones Gus would have been able to keep in touch with his lawyers to find out what was going on while he was on holiday.....

As you seem convinced this is down to the club, please let us know why you think the club would want to get rid of the most successful Albion manager for decades unless he had done something wrong. Nothing has changed with GP all the time he has been with us, he's always been a bit arrogant and...

To those supporting GP over this, nobody has really explained why the club would want to get rid of their most successful manager for ages. We have him on a long term contract so that's worth money to us if he gets poached by another club so why try to engineer his dismissal? We know GP has...

Sounds good, what's hotel called?
