Ideally with a degree in Sport Psychology.

I still feel guilty about the fact that Paul Plumb died before I got round to paying for the trousers that he had made for me (and delivered).

. Ynysddu was always pronounced Uness-Thee when I lived in South Wales.

And it's only 15 miles from Ynysddu, if you go via Ystrad Mynach. The point is, though, that these places have only one name. There isn't an English equivalent or translation.

NSC would lose most of its character if moderators started shifting non-football stuff away from the main board (which is effectively what is being asked for). On the occasions when polls have been taken, "Keep things as they are" has always won most votes. Politics isn't the only topic that...

Closing this thread seems to me to be the best option.

Not at all. The point was that Southern's preferred outlet for travel information and timetables (the National Rail journey planner) was showing only a half-hourly service. It's not good enough for Southern belatedly to advise people who take the trouble to ask that a different timetable is in...

I think you'll find that there's going to be plenty more mileage in the SASTAmoanfest.

If there are no direct trains from Falmer to Eastbourne or Hastings, how will this affect the muppets who clutter up Falmer station post-match because they REFUSE to get on any train that would require them to change at Lewes?

I've just exchanged Twitter messages with SouthernRailUk, who tell me that they "believe" they will be running five trains an hour from Lewes to Falmer pre-match. I guess we are being advised to ignore the information published by National Rail.

IF there were extra trains laid on at Lewes, this might not be a problem. But the National Rail journey planner shows only a half-hourly service between Lewes and Falmer. People coming from east of Lewes will find the platforms at Lewes already overcrowded when they change trains, as required.

It certainly pissed down with rain before the 2000 floods in Lewes. Most of the flooding, though, was caused by the exceptionally high tides flowing up the river from Newhaven at the same time as the rainwater was building up, unable to escape.

Thomas Gage. Born at Firle, 1719. Famous for losing the American War of Independence.

Indeed. The ducks have been enjoying what, to them, has been a spell of very fine weather.

The responsibilities of the Head of the Environment Agency are to ensure that the organisation is properly structured to deal with any contingency, including flooding. Those responsibilities do not extend to owning a pair of wellies.

I remember the flooding in East Sussex in October 2000. The County Council had a whole shelf-full of emergency plans, to deal with all sorts of contingencies, including flooding. Most of these plans included assembling the key people in the bunker underneath County Hall, where discussions...

The precise legal ins and outs of all this are irrelevant. What seems clear to me is that there is something desperately wrong with how food and drink are sold at the Amex. Having myself experienced enough let downs over the years, all of them different, it's getting to the point where the...

Will we be allowed to bring chain saws to Albion games?

I don't know about "testing the stewards", but that beach ball was testing my patience. And I was 140 yards away.

Biggest home crowd of the season, according to the announcement. 27,689.
