    [Albion] Whatsapp Group for Kids football being hijacked by ‘mumsnet’ lot !!

    Same here We have split them out and give warnings on ours. One contains all of the info about matches, where we are meeting, who needs a lift etc. Anything else is deleted off it. Then we have a coaches group which has us coaches as well as a few selected Dads that come on our pub trips...

    [Albion] Knockaert joins Fulham on initial one-year loan

    Would be a big shame because when his head is in the right place he can still be brilliant. The prospect of him in an attacking team again is also something that has been making me look forward to this season. Find it crazy that a team that spent so much last year is going all out again...

    [Travel] How many Brighton's have you been too?

    2 The real one and the one in Cornwall. Bizarrely when we stopped in there (Cornwall) on the way to a holiday my mum decided to tell me it is where I was conceived. Odd woman. At least it gives me a further affiliation to Brighton seeing as I have never actually lived in either

    [News] Dead Man falls from sky in Clapham...

    Was having this very conversation at lunch today. It is so easy for us to think what a bad decision it was, but in order to do that this guy must be desperate and have little knowledge of the risks We also mused as to whether the man who was sunbathing would sue the airline/Nairobi airport...

    [Cricket] 2019 Cricket World Cup

    This is quite frankly painful to watch. I hope it is a sign of batting getting harder and as such the game is already won. However I feel it is more likely to be us throwing it away. Stokes using up a load of balls for naff all return (again) has particularly annoyed me

    [Football] Teams from around the world with unusual names

    Of course I bloody did! If I hadn't then I would detest HamKam as I am a rather pathetic and petulant individual

    [Football] Teams from around the world with unusual names

    When I was a lot younger I played a lot of Fifa on the PlayStation. One of my friends thought he was brilliant but I kept beating him. I said I would play with a random team and he could be Barcelona. The team I landed on was HamKam - been a favourite of mine ever since

    [Help] Cold callers

    If it is on your mobile then there are a few apps that will block them. If landline then I think you can still go old school and get your number put as ex directory. Technically asking to be removed from their calling list means they should/have take you off it but they never do and they...

    [Misc] Emergency Home Insurance - What's a reasonable response time?

    I would assume it is similar to what your water company would classify as an emergency. It is all in how you describe the problem. ‘Water is trickling out the bottom and I can’t use the toilet’ means they will come tomorrow. Call them and say it has got worse, it’s now pouring out and you...

    [Misc] You’ll never believe just how many there are. Amazing.

    Threads started on NSC that I have no idea why I read but still do?

    Blatter and Platini lose appeal... *** Update: Platini detained ***

    I would imagine that if it was a decision based on corruption and bribery then it would be far more than one person involved. There would be enough people still within the organisation to ensure that the tournament still goes ahead as planned. This is of course IF there was wide reaching...

    [Film] What's the bestest film ending ever - Warning MAY contain spoilers!

    Still love the ending to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Bloody loved watching that film with my Dad growing up

    [Football] Carabao Cup

    Christ. If they want clubs to stop devaluing cup competitions then they need to stop the organisers doing it as well. I thought it was bad enough when they were drawing teams on Soccer AM

    [Travel] An ignorant cyclists

    Do we really have to have this debate every week (or day as it appears at the moment)? Some cyclists are idiots, some drivers are idiots that is purely because some people are idiots. I don't cycle, I just couldn't do it, I have a bit of a problem with anxiety and therefore knowing people...

    [Help] "non-standard" funeral attire

    Firstly, sorry to hear that news Secondly - I would check in with some others that are going. A friend of mine was in a similar situation a couple of weeks back and it was expected to be suit trousers and shoes with Aston Villa shirts. I think theirs was due to some of the family not being...

    [Other Sport] Was I the only one mildly irritated

    Seeing this post made me google it to see what the actual list is. I found it pretty amusing that the first list I find has Tennis at 8th and Boxing at 10th which seems reasonable until you see Speedway and Rounders in at 5 and 6! Not sure how you can judge sports whether it be participation...

    [Football] Europe and Champions League Final free to watch

    To be fair to BG, if you search ‘BT Sport Stream Police’ then you get a fair few results stating how the Police will attempt to block the streams at critical times and that the Police have issued a warning about using them. How much they will actually do is to be seen but I wouldn’t be...

    [Cricket] 2019 Cricket World Cup

    Bringing back good memories of England Teams gone by. Also a throw back to when the West Indies were bloody brilliant!

    [News] Car breakdown support.

    I had similar a while back with the AA but that was because they had tried to upgrade me to their next membership level. I pay through my car insurance now as it was only a couple of pounds extra. I must admit that I was initially going to respond about how you are still paying the same cost...

    [Football] Chinese OUTRAGE!

    Saw this this morning and my first impression was how pathetic it all is as 'it's just a trophy'. However, in a way it is a bit nice isn't it? They want the trophy to be respected along with the competition which has a nice sentiment behind it. We are just so far past that as a nation.
