    [Albion] The Story of Britain's Most Successful Gambler (Tony Bloom)

    Indeed. The man is no doubt winning large in more than one game. We all look at the gambling, but this simply distracts us from the property interests.

    American election. Help needed.

    Trump might have won the New Hampshire primary, but there is nothing to stop him withdrawing from the race before the Convention happens. The delegates would then decide to back someone else, like Sarah Palin, if they wanted to, even though she didn't put her name forward in the Primary election.

    WHC IX: The FINAL***

    How come the poll closed EARLY? Foul play, obviously.

    [Albion] Help the club's hotel and cancer unit planning application

    I'm sorry to say that I agree. There has been plenty of time to get the application into shape, and it may well be the case that the right outcome of next week's Planning Committee meeting would be a refusal, followed by a resubmission of the application in a form that meets the Council's...

    Amex hotel proposal will be decided at BHCC Planning Committee 17th February

    I'm sure the protocols are written down and readily accessible to all councillors. The Planning Committee plays a quasi-judicial role and is required to comply with planning law, irrespective of the personal views of its members. This will include taking due account of the evidence that is...

    Iñigo Calderón Appreciation Evening

    I've had a meal with Calde ... as a representative of NSC at the shirt sponsors' event, shortly after he arrived at the Club. My main recollection is that Sebastien Carole spent much of the meal trying to wind up Calde on the grounds that he would only eat food that was smothered in olive oil...

    Old useless phone numbers and license plates you can remember

    I remember a regular game played with new starters at my first place of work. "You can dial a disc, free of charge. All you have to do is dial WXY". "I didn't know that. I'll give it a go". "Hello. Emergency. Which service do you require? Fire, Police or Ambulance?" Oh what japes.

    Old useless phone numbers and license plates you can remember

    My dad's Birmingham Co-op number was 433. Just three digits. Most people had five or six digits in their membership numbers.

    Old useless phone numbers and license plates you can remember

    A phone number from the sixties ... 0205097161234 The French language speaking clock that would tell you the time in Switzerland (one hour ahead of UK time) FREE OF CHARGE - unlike the GPO speaking clock service that charged everyone 2d.

    Ladies FA Cup

    One of the licensing requirements that the Club will have to meet if they want to play at a higher level is that they can regularly get crowds above a threshold. As you say, it takes support.

    Amex hotel proposal will be decided at BHCC Planning Committee 17th February

    I'll wait until the officers' report becomes public, before commenting. I'm just a little concerned that the Club has been taken by surprise to discover that the planning officers are recommending refusal at this late stage in the process. Surely there has been time to identify any problems...

    Ladies FA Cup

    The naming of the leagues just adds to the confusion. The Albion women are top of one of two regional leagues that are at the third tier of English women's football. The word "Premier" is therefore a tad misleading. If they win promotion - into the Women's Super League 2, they still have...

    The Rozzers

    I thought that was what the facilities of the police box were supposed to provide. Why position a police officer in a gangway, blocking the passage of fans trying to get to their seats?

    Train Munts

    From the left side of the North Stand, it's still impossible to hear anything that comes from underneath the police box. The guys at the back, behind us left siders, were in fine voice, though. How much of the noise travels how far is, however, a complete mystery. I guess we will just have...
