From where I travel, I would say that the Club offers me a BETTER deal on days when there is a rail strike. Free parking at Lewes station and a choice of bus or train to get me to and from the game. What's really good is that the trains turn up at Lewes with more space than usual and a seat is...
I still remember some sound advice that was printed on the back of a packet of Co-op own-brand cornflakes, years ago:-
A litre of water's a pint and three-quarters.
Two and a quarter pounds of jam weighs about a kilogram.
You have not been charged for this information. I was, but you can...
That was a game that Tony Bloom travelled all the way from Australia to watch. Was I the only Albion fan who was fearful that he might get to the conclusion that we weren't worth it?
What's missing from this season's experience of being an Albion supporter is the sense that we don't really deserve to be this far up the table. I blame Chris Hughton.
In fairness to The Wanker, McGleish made it clear at the time that he enjoyed the banter. Apart from anything else, it was Carl Griffiths who was the villain. We knew that and McGleish knew that we knew.
The stadium was designed to ensure that sound didn't escape. I remember the objectors at the Public Inquiry making a massive thing about how intrusive the sound of a 20,000 crowd would be if the Club didn't take active steps to prevent the noise escaping.
I was in the North Stand and was completely unaware of two sets of singers "competing against each other's songs". As has been pointed out, the sound of the singing in the North Stand doesn't travel. What I did hear sounded loud, but I guess that's how it is when you are in the midst of a good...
Yes, but ... how many of these properties are actually lived in? The fashion is for Russian oligarchs, Chinese politicians and South East Asian gamblers to buy up expensive properties in London solely as real estate investments that will rise in value for ever. The occupants move out, of...
The unit of weight that makes most sense, at least when buying food, is what the Italians call the etto. 100 grams, one hectogram. Roughly a portion, irrespective of what food it is.
The problem with Men of Harlech is that there are so many versions of the words that it is impossible to gather thousands of people together and get them to sing the same anthem. The version I was taught at school in Wales begins with the line "Hark I hear the foe advancing ..." - nothing like...
What upsets me, Dave, is not that you watch Strictly Come Dancing in preference to an Albion game. It's that you have brought up a daughter who, if her Twitter account is to be believed, also seems to take Strictly too seriously.
Sorry, Laura.
