    WOW - that's expensive postage from the Seagulls Shop !!!!!

    It's a pretty large and heavy book (& well worth it) so not surprised at the postage.

    One For The Crusties

    Barrow was a league game where tickets were sold for the Wolves LC game and the gate was over 20k A few years later, before the Derby LC game, tickets went onsale v Charlton Reserves, with a gate of over 18k. I actually think it's a fair and legitimate way of selling big match tickets as...

    For the public's information.

    £2.20 - is that a lot of money for a bus journey?

    Thanks Lord B. I thought it was too good to be true and did check it ut at the station where I was told I could go as far as Southampton & £6.00 from there, but Eastleigh looks better.

    £2.20 - is that a lot of money for a bus journey?

    Just slightly off topic, I have to go to Winchester on Saturday and the cheapest return rail fare I found was just under £27.00 HOWEVER, if I buy a Southern Saver ticket from a B&H bus it gives me my train fare PLUS my local B&H bus fare for just £14.00. Looks a bargain, am I reading it right?

    writing a CV and completing application form when you are over 55!

    Doubtful anyone could check your O level results from that far back. As for why he's looking for work, well good on you. Besides, if you're not dead within a few months of your heart attack then the benefit inspired health people (APOS?) will make pretty damn clear you ARE fit for work!

    Squeeze BBC Four Friday 12 Oct 9pm

    Saw them at the Brighton Centre once & also had the briefest of conversations on the phone with Mr Difford once. Seemed a nice chap.

    Sandi Toksvig, really ? They must've been on drugs !!!

    Thankfully (hopefully) times have changed but it was commonplace in a lot of working envionments (on the shopfloor of factories) where young female staff could be abused by male staff, especially those in supervisory/management positions. But girls back then didn't dare react or they'd be out...

    Sandi Toksvig, really ? They must've been on drugs !!!

    I'd imagine many of us do not look as attractive as we may have done in our 20's. It has little bearing that she may, to some, be a 'minger' now but back then she was a young female in a profession where they didn't count for much and, if they wanted to get on then they were expected to 'play...

    I believe hemp was widly grown in the North Laine are of Brighton, when it was still farmland.

    A thread full of Johnny Cash.

    There's a tribute band called 'Keeping it Cash' from Hull. May not look the part but really have the sound. I've seen them at the Komedia a couple of times, always packed, and I believe they are doing the Concorde 2 before Xmas. Well worth a night out. Basically the audience shout out what they...

    Can you have a perfect circle?

    Just a word of warning to those posting on here. Don't upset circles because some are said to be vicious.

    Jimmy Saville: Disgusting

    I'd imagine many of the pop stars 7 DJ's were 'at it'. In those early 70's times, the age of fans was around the mid teens and many young girls were obsessed with the stars and, although physically mature, the age of consent is there to protect the majority who are not mentally mature, even if...

    Non Boxing Day football [moved to Tue. December 18th]

    I don't think the amount of buses/drivers needed for Withers would cut the ice at the Amex. As for the poster who suggested it would go ahead with a 16k crowd, well surely not as it would be at least 24k tickets sold, on the current way of stating gates.

    A bit of parking advice please...

    I'd 2nd Theatre of Trees. Keep left heading towards Brighton and old school road, under railway line, I think, is a designated pick-up point.

    BBC4 are having Kenny Everett night, tonight.

    Seems like Marmite, love him or hate him. I'm in the Ken Camp. ( And camp he certainly was!)

    Teacher from Ringmer.... 15 year old pupil - LOST & FOUND

    That sort of remeinds my of the Hastings school teacher (Jenkins?) who was alledged, and did time for murdering his step daughter. Was in & out so many times I lost track of if he was eventually found guilty or not.

    Non Boxing Day football [moved to Tue. December 18th]

    I fear that if we fail to fulfill this Boxing Day fixture we may never get the chance of a home BD game again.
