    Come Down To The Dripping Pan this Saturday to watch Man Utd implode! - from 12:00pm

    Is non league football going so badly that they have to resort to advertising the pre match screenings of Premiership football? Hope no one leaves at 2:40pm expecting to get to Falmer by kick off!

    Tea.

    Why does no one use loose leaf tea? I don't buy expensive stuff (tescos own about £1.25) and it tastes vastly superior to much more expensive 'bagged' tea.

    What's the nearest pub to your house you've never been in?

    Lots at either end of my road that I haven't been in: The Albion The Alibi The Neptune The Sussex Hotel and there's one round the corner called, I think, The Red Lion. Don't really have any desire to check any of these out. My closest pub is The Seafield which unfortunately I can't add to the...

    [Music] The Live Music thread

    Balls to that. Cloud Nothings announced for Sticky Mike's. They will blow the roof off that place (hence I won't be going!). Crap venue aside (surprised they didn't get Haunt or even Concorde), they are great live.

    Biggest rip-offs in Britain..

    No one does pay it! Their business model is entirely based on people paying using BOGOF offers or multiply deals. The ridiculously inflated menu prices only exist to make the 50% price seem like you are getting a good deal, when actually for what you get it's about right, and to rip people off...

    Peter Capaldi's Doctor Who Debut

    Seriously? Regardless of the quality or success of the episode in question, I'm can't believe that the themes on display would be appreciable to young audiences. The show always has kids elements thrown in (oh look, a dinosaur flying through space), but this episode had subtleties that the...

    But, having lives in London for 3 years and going to lots of gigs there - it is SO much better seeing bands like this in smaller places. London crowds are almost always shit and full of scenesters (apologies for using the word but hopefully meaning I'd clear in this instance) who aren't really...

    I Yes. Nothing too serious yet, but warning signs that mean I want to be careful from now on. Will wait to see noisy bands outside where the nasty distortion wafts away! :lolol: Neutral Milk Hotel were fantastic last night. Set didn't seems to lag so much with the Avery Island stuff as much...

    I probably would have gone with Slint too, if I hadn't accidentally bought NMH tickets first without realising they were on the same night! Pissed Jeans are so good live, would love to go, but I'm kind of avoiding those 'noise gigs in small venues' nowadays.

    Anyone else heading to Bexhill to see Neutral Milk Hotel tonight? Very excited, saw them at Primavera and they were really good so looking forward to an extended set. Can't believe we get the chance to see them in Bexhill! There's so many gigs coming up in Brighton, particularly tempted by...

    Boris Johnson

    I was out a few days ago and the twenty somethings on the table next to me spent a while going on about how they'd. Ever be able to vote for Miliband because he 'looks like a lego man', 'he's got a silly voice' and so on. It's this idiotic power that vacuous people have that makes me very...

    O/T Haywards Heath Relief Road open!

    I'm not sure the residents of Cuckfield, Lindfield, Hurstpierpoint or Hassocks would agree that aggressively expanding Haywards Heath or Burgess Hill only affects the bigger town.

    O/T Haywards Heath Relief Road open!

    Don't own a house in Haywards Heath so stop being a ****. I do, however, believe that individualism is essential to maintaining the character of Mid Sussex, and I believe there's a very real danger that the entire corridor from London to Brighton is going to tarmac. It's not really an issue of...

    O/T Haywards Heath Relief Road open!

    Great, now they can get on with building over the rest of the space between Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill. Oh and the gap between HH and Cuckfield while they're at it. Who gives a **** about the local character as long as there's plenty ofmcrap new housing miles away from the nearest shop or...

    Premier League to introduce vanishing spray for new season

    I believe you might have a fundamental misunderstanding of what vanishing spray does!

    Heaven

    I have seen Deerhunter, Liars, Okkervil River, Jens Lekman, Beach House and many more in Heaven. It's a very good place, made particularly amusing by the fact that they run it as of it was a club night for chinstroker gigs - so muscly camp blokes in vests behind bar and security patrolling...

    UK economy.

    Public sector wages have not risen, let alone risen above inflation, for ages. Investment in public services is similarly useless. I'm really struggling to see what an improved economy is actually supposed to mean to me in real terms.

    Mucho Burrito (North Street)

    Just go to the Hare and Hounds instead. Same food. No queue. Much better beer.

    Is no one watching Netherlands v Costa Rica?

    Hmm. Not sure that logic really works, unless you would argue that there has never been a good substitution, since we never get to see what would have happened if the sub hadn't been made. I'm not sure what the BBC team were making such a fuss about though. I'm sure that both keepers knew the...

    Is no one watching Netherlands v Costa Rica?

    Can't decide who I want to win now. Always favour the underdog, but I would also like the team with the best chance of beating the Argies to go through. What the hell, come on Costa Rica!
