    Newcastle in car.

    Try a city centre car park. It's Saturday. Most of the shoppers will have gone home before kick-off time.

    Long shot but....any tips for the gray hound racing at Hove

    Bet at the very last minute and always put your money on the dog whose odds have shortened the most in the previous five minutes.

    Why

    If Hughton knew what he was doing, we might have ended last season with the best scoring record in the Championship. Oh.

    Burton v DERBY LIVE on SKY

    Is it just me or do Burton fans have squeakier voices than we do?

    Police seek man who "repeatedly punched" cyclist on Brighton seafront

    If I recall rightly, the concept was borrowed from award-winning schemes developed in Scandinavia. It was possible to do the same thing in Brighton, because the Department for Transport was prepared to fund the substantial extra costs of installing what for the UK was a revolutionary design...

    Glamorgan v Sussex - County Championship Div 2 - The promotion charge ends here?

    It's not just cricket that uses Mental Conditioning Coaches. In fact there are THOUSANDS of jobs going. Here's just one:- https://www.schoolspring.com/job.cfm?jid=2655376 But, if anyone can explain a bit more about Head Wrestling, I'd be grateful to hear it.

    Help required

    As someone who has had the best part of three years of extended life, thanks to the free-of-charge treatment that the NHS can afford to give me, I find this story both immensely cheering and terribly sad at the same time. Isn't life arbitrary in the way in which it treats people?

    Police seek man who "repeatedly punched" cyclist on Brighton seafront

    A two-lane, two-way cycle path? I can hear the complaints already. I'm not saying that it won't work, but there is a real need to educate pedestrians that bikes, unlike cars, won't be following the same "keep left" rule of the road that motorists do. It's a similar issue that applies in...

    Police seek man who "repeatedly punched" cyclist on Brighton seafront

    Equally ... we have roads of all shapes and sizes in the UK, ranging from narrow country lanes to the M25. Motorists have to adapt to what is put in front of them - and, for the most part, they succeed in doing so. There is no such thing as the "one size fits all" road and there is no such...

    TWO MORE SITES added to the list of alternatives to Falmer

    All that was needed for Falmer to be turned down by the Public Inquiry was for a case to be made that an alternative site might exist. That wouldn't, of course mean that the Club would get planning permission for the alternative site. What would be needed would have been a very long, drawn-out...

    Best sign.

    Back in the mid-1980s, I had a house extension designed for me by a company called Architectural and Interior Design Services.

    Yes, but ... Southsea has Portsmouth next door. Brighton has Hove. You haven't thought this through, have you?

    Do you have ANY IDEA how much five minutes of consultancy time from a transport expert costs?

    TWO MORE SITES added to the list of alternatives to Falmer

    Indeed. A bit like the FACT proclaimed by Lewes District Council that it took only 20 minutes to walk from central Brighton to Sheepcote Valley. I think they said much the same about the walk from Hove Station to Toads Hole Valley.

    Pedestrians should only be allowed to share space with wheeled vehicles if they have insurance.

    Favourite Brighton & Hove bus stop?

    Time was when part of my job was to designate locations for new bus stops. What was astonishing was the snobbish and un-neighbourly attitude of some people who would angrily campaign against any extension of the bus network. A favourite question was "Why do you put bus routes into residential...

    The Olympics,i could only happen in the UK.

    As I said, there's a need for better education. If I controlled the curriculum, I'd have a course that culminated in an exam that included the following question:- Which of the following statements is most true? - Politicians tell the truth in order to get elected; - Politicians lie in order...
