    [Travel] *Different* Relaxing Holiday Locations

    Absolutely get this and will be following this thread with interest. Quite a few years ago we wanted similar from a holiday but didn’t have loads to spend. The ‘budget’ Caribbean option was Margarita. We had an amazing time, helped by there being so few other tourists there especially as US...

    [Albion] Yet another club to increase ground capacity….

    Yep, because Brighton and Hove is chock full of ideal sites. This has been gone over so many times it’s getting ridiculous now. Falmer was not ideal but it was all there was.

    [Albion] Crawley tickets

    But no mention whether there is/isn’t any park n ride in place. Not handy when all the parking is already sold out

    [Football] Team GB men’s football team for LA 2028?

    These need to be kept. It’s subjective shit like dressage and street dancing that need to be chopped IMHO

    [Other Sport] 2024 Tour de France

    Agree. Also saw a comment on coverage (though can’t remember who) saying that cycling has widened its appeal tremendously over the last few years and they’re getting athletes in the sport who would previously taken their abilities elsewhere. As the pool of talent gets bigger it also gets better...

    [Travel] Tourism Backlash

    For 20 odd years me and Mrs S owned a second home on the Costa Blanca. It was in an urbanisation aimed specifically at second home owners. We loved it and used it. We also rented it out though we did notice that the urbanisation was very quiet whenever we went there. I did mention to my local...

    [Albion] Lallana On Brighton Departure

    Agree that a lot of what he did wasn’t easy to appreciate from the stand. The best I saw of him was in the 3-2 win over Man City when only about 8,000 of us were allowed in. All the time we were behind he was always involved in getting attacks started and you could hear him geeing up players...

    [Misc] Advice on elderly parent / (possible) dementia / hospital discharge type stuff

    My thoughts go out to you Bozza. as others have said this sounds like dementia but you really need to get a diagnosis. That in itself will open doors. We had the same problem 4 years ago with the mother in law. It’s better to be on the front foot and picking where you want her to go rather...

    [Albion] Brighton v Chelsea highlights 1973

    Thanks for posting. This was my first ever Albion game, 7 years old up in the west stand with my dad because the guy who normally sat next to him couldn’t go. I don’t really remember much about it except the awful Chelsea kit and the fact that we lost. My dad later told me that he had to...

    [Politics] Voter Identification.

    If that arsewipe Rees-Mogg says it was a targeted law then surely that proves it wasn’t. If he told you the time you’d have to check your own watch

    [Politics] Voter Identification.

    You’re saying it’s targeting young people, yet others are saying it’s more likely to affect older people. Personally I think it’s no big deal at all. If you don’t have the proper id you had ages and plenty of guidance to get it or use a postal vote. There are plenty of things to moan about with...

    [Politics] The NSC 'up all night' election night *** OFFICIAL MATCH THREAD ***

    Well in those places also having local elections they first have to separate the voting slips for those from the PCC ones as they all go in the same box. Here in Goring they will then find at least 2 spoiled ballots for the PCC count courtesy of yours truly and Mrs S

    Is that despite the fact that it’s clearly written on the polling cards which came weeks ago?

    [News] Government smoking ban.

    Isn’t that what the US “imagined” in the 1930s? All it did was drive alcohol production and sales underground and fuelled gang violence. Is that what you want?

    Same for me. My dad was born in Porthcawl so I kinda feel obliged

    [Film] Next James Bond?

    Absolutely with you. However most of the films would be 18 rated. For example in “From Russia WithLove” the scene with the gipsy girls fighting in the book has has them naked versus the somewhat less steamy film version. I like your thinking

    [News] Veterinary costs under investigation

    I spent 5 years working for an insurance company who provide pet insurance. One major concern there was that they had to hike their prices to cover the ridiculous increases in vet bills. The usual pattern is that independent vets remain reasonable and focused on the care of the animal. Then...
