    How seriously are you taking social distancing?

    Since sunday I've only been between work and home, havent had any outside contact with the world but that's usual during the week for me. Wife has stayed indoors with baby all week and only been for a walk around the block a few times. I work in a small company and my colleagues have been...

    [Misc] Any sports betting markets left?

    Me too. I started ProfitSquad tmorrow his time last year, the casino offer emails are now flooding in as the sports markets have dried up.. I haven't done any casino offers as my bank is still quite small. I'm calling it quits until normal service is resumed. The casino strategies scare the...

    I'm proper ****** now. The mrs was due back to work on april 1st after maternity leave as we have a 7 month old now. Due to maternity pay decreasing over that time money has been tight. We also have a 5 year old. Now she cant go back to work because the schools have shut. And her work are...

    [Finance] Housing Market

    Sounds exceptionally morbid on my behalf but I hope so as I've just the £50k in savings for a deposit and currently looking at my first mortgage. That's if the mortgage lenders continue to lend. Been saving for night on 10 years and this happens.

    My 5 year old daughter came home from school with a slight cough. Which over the weekend has turned into a persistent dry cough, so much so that she wont go to sleep as when she lays down that when it hurts most, she has started crying now when she needs to cough as it makes her tummy hurt...

    [Misc] Let me thank you all on NSC

    Ha! I actually know where that is. I have a mate who lives up there. We grew up together until 8 years old but his mum split with her husband and moved back to there taking him with her. He came back down nearly 20 years ago and lived with my family for a few years in our early 20's but ended up...

    [Misc] Let me thank you all on NSC

    I'm currently looking for new job so registered with a few agencies and job sites. I've set my radius to <20 miles of home. One site keeps sending me emails linking to jobs other than where I've asked. So far I've had Suffolk, portsmouth, milton Keynes, basingstoke and the channel islands...

    [Misc] differing Accounts/passwords

    I had a nightmare trying to get into my banking app recently. I cut my thumb at work so the fingerprint scanner wasn't recognising my fingerprint so went for the password option. Typed in password. Rejected. Tried again. Rejected. Now I have a conundrum, have I forgotten it? (highly...

    [Finance] How big was your paper round?

    I had the weekday morning round and afternoon Evening Argus and the weekend morning round for £12.50 a week in the early 90's. Did it on my bike most days. Sundays was a killer and had to do it in 2 trips as it was too heavy. During our troubled years it kept me up to date reading the back...

    [Albion] West Ham United vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    I'm getting worried now. This isnt good. Weve had 2 bloody good chances with Mooy and Trossard. And the other chance when Mooy nicked it from Trossards feet. Montoya having a mare against Antonio. Missing Burn badly so cant do a back 3. Didnt realise just how influential he can be. Not just in...

    [Technology] QR Codes, does anyone use them?

    But a bar code would do the same thing wouldn't it? The only time I use a QR code is to check a lottery ticket. Otherwise I wouldn't bother with them at all either.

    [Other Sport] Kobe Bryant dies in helicopter crash

    Absolutely. I dont trust them either. If a plane engine dies it can become a glider to a certain degree. Once a helicopter engine dies you might as well be sitting in a rock. RIP to those involved.

    [Football] Dead Saturday

    I havent been paid since the 20th December. It's a very welcome break as I have £4.36 in my wallet and a whopping £11.39 in the bank. Not having to spend £40 for a home match or £100 on an away day is most welcome. I hate January.

    Does anyone use or can recommend a smart watch/fitness watch type thing? I have strava on my phone and have been using it but it's a faff to start it, get it in the backpack, bag on, gloves on etc and the reverse the other end. So GPS and linking to strava would be ideal. Pretty sure I missed a...

    Good to see another member of the "dark side" on here. I've been off mine for 6 weeks with a persistent and permanent lower back ache which is causing me grief. But I've decided to jump back on anyway and start again. Any fitness I had built up is long gone so am basically starting again. I...

    [Albion] Amex pitch

    I've always thought the stadium is the wrong way round. During the winter the pitch probably doesn't see any natural sunlight (not that we've had a lot anyway) due to the height of the west stand and the low sun. The lower height stand should have been the west stand to allow more sunlight...
