    [Help] New house viewing - dilemma

    There should be no risk at all of the survey missing the roof issue because any half-decent surveyor will ask you about anything you want them to look at/concentrate on before they do the survey. The real conundrum would be if you do this and even then the surveyor misses the roof issue, but I...

    [Travel] First and last flights

    First flight was in the late 70's on some small 2-seater plane at Ford airfield with a friend of my Mum who was just looking to get more hours in. He even let me take the controls for a while which was great First proper flight in 1980 on a Laker Skytrain from Gatwick to JFK - I was in a touring...

    [Albion] It's my birthday according to the club, but it isn't.

    It's my birthday in just over two weeks, but I think this email is 50 weeks late rather than 2 weeks early sadly, going by the age

    [Albion] Premier League 16-23/01

    The funny thing is that if Mings had actually left the ball then Rodrigo would have been given offside. As soon as he takes an intentional touch he puts the City player back onside. Same as if Mings had tried to nod it back to the keeper - no-one would have been screaming 'offside' then as it's...

    [Politics] Brexit

    I think what we're really seeing is the problems you get with producing a very complicated agreement (that would normally take several years to review, iron out and sign) being rushed through in a few months to meet an artificial politically-driven deadline. Who'd have thunk it?

    [News] The Coronavirus Good News thread

    It's great to see the effort that's going on to make this happen. Our news outlets sadly prefer to concentrate on the rise in cases rather than these good works Yoda: any chance of an update?

    [Albion] Match experience last night?

    hi Stat - Any tips re parking in Bennett's Field? I'm parking there for the first (and probably only) time. Is leaving Worthing an hour before kick-off plenty of time to get there and get a reasonable space? All the questions seem a bit obvious but we're all used to going to games with 25,000+...

    [Albion] The Sheffield United golden ticket thread

    Having moaned earlier about not getting seats I eventually managed to get them for all 4 of our party by doing this. We're a bit more spread out than we'd like to be but we're all there. Phew!

    Same for me. Every time I clicked on an 'available' seat it apparently wasn't

    [Football] Falling out of love...

    I honestly thought VAR would be beneficial after seeing how it was used in the 2018 world cup - it just seemed to pick up on the blatant mistakes and quickly without spending ages to overanalyse things and kill the pace of a game. I was in favour of it. However yet again in our beloved country...

    [Sussex] Cricket,everything stops for tea.

    And as a wicket keeper I always preferred to field first. All that bending down with a belly full of food and tea was always a bit uncomfortable and led to split trousers on more than one occasion

    [Technology] Drones - are they a nuisance?

    Quite. a couple of years ago one of the teenage neighbours thought it would be fun to fly one low over our garden. It's amazing what a deterrent a catapult with a bag of mint imperials can be, especially when the first shot somewhat luckily scored a hit. No damage to the drone but I think it...

    [Other Sport] Lewis Hamilton the greatest living British sportsman?

    Indeed, though to be fair to Wiggo as a teenager he was doing a lot of his cycling training around northwest London where I guess the exhaust fumes would be enough to give anyone asthma

    [Other Sport] Lewis Hamilton the greatest living British sportsman?

    I don't have a problem with Hamilton living in Monaco nor his use of his success as a platform for his views, he's earned the right for that IMHO. I agree he is the best F! driver of all time, despite the accusations of always having the best car (which I don't agree with). I just think as an...

    [Albion] your 1st game at the Amex?

    My first amex game too, and IIRC the second was scored by Steve Cook

    Kazim-Richards

    I saw him doing that at the Worthing pre-season friendly. Then his dad (I think) had a bit of a go at him and basically told to stop acting the big-time charlie. I didn't hear all that was said but the phrase 'remember where you come from' was used more than once. After that CKR then dutifully...

    [News] The Coronavirus Good News thread

    I think you could have made that argument a few weeks ago but the number of cases went north of 1,000 4 weeks ago but the good news is that still the number of deaths isn't rising, just 6 across the UK today. I haven't seen hospital admission numbers recently but I last heard that they weren't...

    [Humour] Endoscopy,sedation or straight down ?

    Remembered this thread from a few months ago and re-read it last night as I'm having gastroscopy done on Thursday. As a direct result of the comments in this thread - and with great thanks to the contributors - I will be going for the sedation option. I am also extremely grateful that I'm not...

    [Sussex] Closed pubs of Sussex

    I felt that one particularly personally because my grandfather was the architect of that pub ( and the Grenadier in Hangleton). I have the original plans in the attic
