    Did anyone on here go to University in the early 70's?

    You could buy a dozen bottles of Newcastle Brown with a huge discount from the off licence in Palmeira Square.

    Did anyone on here go to University in the early 70's?

    I seem to remember that, even with means-tested grants, every student got a minimum grant of about £50 a year. Beer up north was 13p a pint in 1973 and the weekly rent for a shared house in Brighton worked out at around £3-5 a room at the beginning of the seventies. By the time I got to be a...

    Worst TV "comedy" ever?

    No it doesn't tick any "PC boxes". It's racist. Just like Love Thy Neighbour was racist.

    Do you know....

    Yep. And the whole of the Latin version as well.

    [Misc] Determine the wattage of a dimmer switch

    Ask a qualified tradesman? Or ask NSC? What a ridiculous pair of options.

    [Misc] The Morpeth Coincidence?!?

    A thread like this will at least ensure that Kosh remembers the location of the shop where he bought an eternity ring. Next time he needs to purchase a similar item he will have no difficulty in finding the shop that sells them.

    How do you go about organising tickets for school groups/youth teams?

    Once you've bought your 100 tickets at £5 each, can you upgrade the lot to adult tickets and save a fortune? :)

    [Misc] Apple to abandon the headphone jack?

    What's wrong with the whole electronics industry developing a standard that would allow all bits of kit to connect up with all other bits of kit, regardless of who the manufacturer is? The same argument applies to light bulbs.

    Linked with Connor Washington?

    Washington will go far. He's a very talented player with an eye for goal. Remember when he scored for Newport County in front of the North Stand?

    Exeter City FC v Liverpool FC

    Did I see that right? At kick-off for the second half, the close-up of the ball showed the letters ECFC written in felt tip pen on its surface.

    Driving to Hull tonight - M25 lottery

    That takes me back a few years. Are there still signs for Hatfield and the North?

    Yes but - as Bozza has explained - everything was reset in 2003.

    20 Years of North Stand Chat

    One of the toughest days I ever had, as a moderator on NSC, was the day that tickets went on sale for the play-off final at Cardiff. "Someone" (no names, no packdrill) started a thread that said something along the lines of "If you don't get yourself down to Withdean in the next half hour...

    Wouldn't happen in Germany/censorship

    British society has been adapting to changing circumstances for hundreds of years. Some of us are proud to recognise this and the benefits that these changes have brought. Do you REALLY think that we should leave the management of social change to politicians?

    Wouldn't happen in Germany/censorship

    I wasn't so much upset by the spelling as by the apparent invitation to the opponents of multiculturalism to come out and spew out their bile. Ignorance is rampant and one indication of this is the inability to spell words like "Ramadan".

    What is "Rammadam"?

    Twitter closer to allowing longer tweets of up to 10,000 characters

    If this puts an end to the BBC's irritating habit of bombarding the TV screen with inane tweets by footballers during MOTD, it can only be a good thing. There can't be many professional footballers capable of stringing together a message with 10,000 characters, shirley?
