    Your favourite Christmas time movies

    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.

    Don Goodman (Sky Sports website) gives up waiting for BHA to slide

    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...

    Ron Springett - who remembers?

    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...

    So who's the best guitarist who frequents NSC?

    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?

    Memorable football dreams you've played a part in

    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...

    Any Buy to Let Experts? Good and Bad Experiences Sought

    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...

    Drivethedeal.com

    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...

    John Lees moves to Saturday mornings only on BBC Sussex

    Number 5? John Lees, another great commentating product of the long-lost Hove Grammar School, along with Peter Brackley who was in my year.

    Peter Brezovan

    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!

    Three mobile coverage

    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.

    Plantar Fasciitis - anybody had a dose of this, and how do you resolve it? Ta

    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...

    At least the poppies are back in the field above the Amex - Enjoy

    Saw them briefly travelling on the A27 last night. Stunning just as this photo is. If NSC did 'likes' you'd get them from me and my wife. Thanks.

    Richie Havens RIP

    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.
