Not using either Facebook or Virgin, which am I missing the most?

If the alternative is raising income tax, I guess most UK consumers prefer the current arrangements.

My recollection is that the half peach was added as soon as the doughnut emerged from the oil. Peach wasn't the only option. If you wanted a traditional jam doughnut, jam would be injected into the centre of the doughnut, once it was cooked. The novelty of Mr Vogel's approach was that he...

Without a doubt ... the freshly fried peach doughnuts that used to be sold in Mr Vogel's bakery in St James's Street, Brighton. Hot and stuffed with half a fresh peach and covered with a light sprinkling of sugar. Mr Vogel was an interesting character - a holocaust survivor, who expressed his...

And a swing of more than 8 per cent from Tory to Labour.

A massive Labour majority, with a much bigger percentage than at the General Election.

Or Portsmouth.

What if you don't need a carer? Most disabled people don't. And since when has disability been an illness?

Entitlement to use the facilities that a service provider must offer to people with disabilities cannot be dependent upon being in receipt of a particular state benefit. Apart from anything else, there is no obligation for a disabled person to claim DLA, or to have a key worker or social...

What if we miss them all and just take out a school or hospital in Raqqa? Family weddings were always popular in Afghanistan.

And one of the NSC users who used to join us in our campaign events in support of the stadium at Falmer.

And it may be that an allowance needs to be made for things like complimentary tickets, which add to attendance figures, but add nothing to income.

Assuming that 25 matches were played, this suggests that the average value of a ticket sold was about £15.35.

We weren't struggling with FFP. We were struggling with simply being skint.

I like the idea of a Pie Protest which involves everyone throwing their "free" pie on to the pitch at the same time. But I was bemused by the following reader's comment:- Fatcigar 1:32 PM on 02/12/2015 The whole South Stand should launch their pies when theres a corner in front of them...

Do football fans in Madrid pay £42 to watch a game of football? I certainly didn't when I went to a game there.

H'mmm indeed. But it's already been established on NSC that any journey that involves Hurstpierpoint is totally impossible by public transport. I forget who got the blame for this, but I have a feeling that Paul Barber might figure on the charge sheet.

I've no gripes whatsoever with the Seafront Business Association. I just think it's a bit risky to assume that a strike will go ahead. Most threats of strike action in local government fizzle out before anything happens. How would you feel if you'd acted on a misleading promise that parking...

When I was a NALGO steward at East Sussex County Council, the union complained about the misuse of the disciplinary procedure by some Social Services managers. We met with councillors and made the point that an informal bollocking would be Ok, but a formal warning wasn't. The minutes of the...

I don't believe you can be given a disciplinary sanction without being advised in advance that this was a possible outcome of a formal meeting. Having said that, I think you can be given an informal bollocking, but it can't count towards a cumulative assembly of offences that will lead to a...
