    [Misc] Retirement

    I started work before my 16th Birthday so have no desire to go deep into my 60's working full time (54 now). It is worth getting that independent advise - especially if you have multiple pensions. You may find that you are be able to retire earlier than you think without being poorer. As...

    [Misc] A day in a hospital ward

    Was that Durrington Ward? Our next door neighbour was in there a few weeks ago and when Mrs DCH went to visit she said that there were some interesting characters in there.

    [Misc] Water Softeners & Eczema

    Started about four years ago as them being itchy inside and then got worse. I use Doublebase Flare Relief to control it but having spent two weeks away, it was really noticeable that they were not as irritated as they are when I'm at home.

    [Travel] Mill Road P&R Chaos

    When we first moved to the Amex there was a Transport Manager appointed who was a transport planning professional. He was responsible for the liaison with transport providers, park & ride facilities etc. There doesn't appear to be anyone filling this role now - maybe it should be reinstated to...

    [Misc] Water Softeners & Eczema

    With the hard water here on the coast, I've thought about this for a while because of the impact on appliances etc. More recently, I have started to get eczema in my ears but noticed while I was away that it wasn't a problem. Seems like hard water has been proven to inflame skin conditions...

    [Travel] Mill Road P&R Chaos

    They were not running the Hove to Brighton Shuttles yesterday morning to connect with the Victoria trains and even if they were there, the Victoria trains were all screwed by the issues at Three Bridges.

    [Misc] ISIHAC - Series 77 starts tonight

    For those who enjoy it, latest series starts tonight on Radio 4 at 6:30pm. Tonights teams are Jon Culshaw, Jan Ravens, Milton Jones and Andy Hamilton joining Jack Dee and Colin Sell from Stockport. Have to admit, I'm not a big fan of having two pretty poor impressionists on the same panel -...

    [Humour] Peter Kay - Arena Tour 22/23

    I tried the O2 priority which failed miserably. I was out this morning so thought I'd try again when I got back. Logged onto the AXS site at 13:10, had two tickets for June 2024 purchased by 13:15. Maybe AXS is better than Ticketmaster.

    [Food] Restaurant Thread 2022

    My recent experience of Coal Shed was poor and other colleagues who visited recently have also found that it is nowhere near as good as it used to be. Looking at the comments about Tutto, maybe the expansion of the group has impacted quality control (I see there is a Coal Shed London now as well).

    [Music] Nik Turner RIP

    RIP - I saw Hawkwind in Worthing back in about 1984/5 so not sure if this was just before Nik left. Around the same time I saw Nazareth and sadly we lost Dan McCafferty earlier this week.

    [Food] Restaurant Thread 2022

    You do know her role is restaurant critic? There are have been many reviews over the years of the NSC Restaurant threads which have been more scathing than this. Ultimately, any restaurant team should recognise the big name reviewers when they come through the door and be able to make sure...

    [Offers] Run up to Christmas bargain gifts and booze and stuff

    A quick search on the Southern website would suggest that you might want to buy each other a Seagull Travel coach ticket if you want to get to the game.

    [Music] Songs that make you think "...what's all that about then.....???"

    Obviously a public 'outing' of the relationship between Tonto and The Lone Ranger.

    [Music] Songs that make you think "...what's all that about then.....???"

    The premise of this song is a bloke who has been stitched up for a robbery but he can't use his alibi as he was in bed his best friends wife at the time. So far so good. However, it then goes on to say that after he gets out, him and his mates wife want to be together. If that's the case, why...

    [Albion] Well done Arsenal

    I had a knee replacement at a positively young 45. This was while we were in the Championship so plenty of games during my recovery. @Herr Tubthumper generously allowed me to use his 1901 seat for a couple of games but for the rest, the ticket office switched me from WSU to ESU. I know that...

    [TV] IPTV on Firestick

    Only seeing the Forest v Spurs, Wolves v Leeds, Liverpool v Derby and Man City v Chelsea games listed. Think I read somewhere that there is no contract to screen EFL cup this season so only limited games will be available.

    [News] Leslie Phillips RIP

    RIP - I was only talking about him recently as a colleague from Greece asked what Ding Dong meant I then had to try and explain all about Leslie Phillips. Thankfully YouTube made it much easier.

    [Technology] 100 Anthems

    Not my style of music but Reach by S Club is one of those things that people attending this sort of thing seem to really go for.
