With our kids it was always Santa Claus: The Movie with Dudley Moore. These days it's yet another vote for National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation - still find it absolutely hilarious.
GOODMAN SAYS: "I have to be honest, I have been waiting for Brighton to start sliding down the table - slowly but surely. But I gave up that theory about six to eight games ago. It was then I realised that this is a team capable of sustaining their challenge because they have the ability to keep...
Great article with memorable photos by local journalist Nick Szczepanik in the US Bleacher Report:

Ron Springett, the ex-England goalie has died. Any older Northstanders remember him? He was actually understudy for Gordon Banks in 1966 World Cup. I remember having Springett-endorsed goalie gloves when I played in goal at school. Certainly saved one or two certain goals when I wore them. Great...
Well I can do the first part of Satch Boogie at (almost) full-speed but I still can't do the Sultans solo live version (the fast bit) at max even after I realized you have to play it finger-style to get anywhere near Knopfler's speed. I'm 65 on Monday - do I get extra points for that?
Seeing Bozza's football dream https://nortr3nixy.nimpr.uk/showthread.php?316235-Strange-dream-what-does-it-all-mean made me think about football dreams I've appeared in.
Like when I was playing for England, got a fantastic through ball to run onto, just the advancing goalie to beat, got a...
No-brainer in Brighton really. Property predicted to rise by 45% here in next 5 years, the third highest in the country. So plenty of capital gain as well as the rental income (though there is CGT to pay if you sell of course). I do have an agent as I live half an hour away so it's a bit more...
Nice article in the Telegraph Sport section today about Fred Woolven and his lottery work for BHA - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/brighton-hove-albion/10807719/Brighton-and-Hove-Albions-unsung-hero-Fred-Woolven-The-lottery-team-helped-save-the-club.html
Yes, I've used them. I sort of defaulted to using them because I started with a different broker but they themselves included Drive the Deal on their books and they turned out to be the best deal. I think they got me about 15% off a new Skoda Octavia 3 years ago. You have to be prepared to...
Considering Brez was sick on Friday and unable to train he did great. Mind you I bet he'd have staggered into work if he knew there was going to be a strong chance he'd be playing!
Their 3G coverage is pretty good on the whole. I've travelled from Portsmouth to Seaford along the A27 a few times using 3G radio on my iPhone and it only drops out a couple of times.
Yes, both my wife and I had it. Here are the things that made the most difference:
1) Calf stretches first thing every day. Even though the PF has stopped I still do these most days. It strengthens the main support for the plantar fascia tissue.
2) Wearing Crocs and/or trainers. Hated the...
His Woodstock performance will always be what he is most remembered for. Have to say that other than that I didn't much follow his life. Nevertheless hope he rests in peace.
