The problem that we baby boomers present is that we are NOT dying off. The NHS is keeping me going, but it's costing the state a fortune. As for DR's assertion that this is an "I'm Alright Jack" attitude, it's exactly the opposite. People are living into their late nineties. The choice for...

Excellent news. We need a bigger workforce and more taxpayers if folk like me are going to be properly looked after in our old age.

No. But once upon a time I was. I was even a member of the working group that re-designed the County Council's logo in the early 1990s (the one that is misrepresented on the Sussex Flags website, btw), so I am very familiar with the history of how East Sussex, West Sussex and Sussex have been...

Yes. I know all this. It's all part of the Chichester-based plot to foist their version of the Sussex myth on the rest of us ... the so-called "Sussex Day" is part of the same thing. And don't get me started on St Richard. Much of Sussex historically owes its ecclesiastical allegiance to...

Good to see that East Sussex Albion fans haven't been taken in by this piece of nonsense. Our Sussex flags are red and gold.

That's because it features Brighton.

The football stadium at Preston's North End was called Withdean, was it not?

If you want to go to London Road, why is Preston Park the station you need? And if it's Preston Park you want, why is the nearest station London Road?

For what it's worth ... I understand the position and I agree with Sully. The Club's publicity material is confusing and, in some respects, incorrect.

That's a perfectly reasonable question and it is easy to see how the confusion arises. The Brighton & Hove Bus & Coach Company is a local bus company. Brighton & Hove City Council are a local transport authority that, amongst other things, subsidises some bus routes with in the city. Both...

Picking sloes.

Do football memories get cancelled out after ten years? Are you trying to say that Scott McGleish has ceased to be a wanker?

This would only work if people had to apply to Bozza for permission to start a new thread. He would say YES or NO as the mood took him, but would obviously be guided by the subject matter of the top four threads on page 1. I suspect that the workload involved in this process might not be what...

It wasn't guile that was missing. It was basic football skills (the ability to tackle and intercept, and pass accurately). Preston outclassed us in these crucial areas, throughout the match. And I'm ignoring the need for accurate shooting, which I guess has now become a percentage game in...

As long as homophobia in football remains as rife as it is, stories like this one will play out. It's not very long ago that the Albion had a manager who was prepared to proclaim "I'll have nae poofters in my dressing room". Words like "brave" shouldn't need to be bandied about but, sadly...

Wasn't that the game that Tony Bloom travelled all the way from Australia to watch? I reckon he probably wished that the players could've been honest enough to admit that they weren't fit to work on the day. It was a disgraceful performance.

Blimey! Once upon a time, long ago, I applied for a job in the transport department of Avon County Council to take charge of local rail development plans for Bristol. If only things had turned out differently, who knows? This station might have opened already. They offered me the job, btw...

That's positive? Not in my book. Random business transactions by foreign entrepreneurs aiming to buy success is what has ruined football in this country.

Don't forget to take VAT and the effects of age-related discounts into account when projecting the income retained by the Club.

They were booing because UEFA imposed a (suspended) £50 million fine on Manchester City and cut the size of their squad for being in breach of FFP rules.
