    Greek Government bottles it!

    Alternatively ... it looks like Merkel, Juncker and the other F***wits have caved in and decided to let Greece stay in the Euro, thereby vindicating the NO vote in the referendum. Well done, Greece!

    Sunday evening and time for a quiz.

    The classic form of the question is: Sunderland did it in 1979, Villa did it in 1981. Who did it in 1980? The answer is: Trevor Brooking.

    New BLACK stash

    I once purchased a genuine worn Albion training top that Steve Coppell had used (complete with SC's initials). I've yet to find an occasion when it would be appropriate to wear it.

    Forthcoming events at The Amex...

    My dear old mum always used to enjoy telling the Jehovah's Witnesses who knocked on her door: "I'll say a special prayer to Saint Theresa for you".

    Traffic CHAOS next week, at Brighton Station..

    The staff of the contractors won't have seen the paperwork that was sent to the suppliers in Northern Ireland. They'll simply use the materials that are delivered.

    LDC Green Waste, £70 per year charge

    The problem is that Lewes District Council will ONLY be providing this service in Seaford and then only as a trial. What prospects are there for the service ever to reach Lewes, Peacehaven, Newhaven, etc?

    Should Tube leaders go to prison?

    Haven't you guys got work to do? Or is it simply a FACT that you can take an hour off to debate stuff on NSC whenever you fancy? Unlike train drivers.

    National Wage.

    I seem to recall that Labour's answer to low wages was a National Living Wage. Osborne simply stole the idea.

    [Cricket] LV= County Championship Division One, Somerset v Sussex at Taunton

    Assuming a risky lunchtime declaration, that would leave Somerset to score 403 in 72 overs (at 5.6 runs per over). I can see them achieving that by tea time.

    And people wonder about how intelligent you need to be to work for the council .....

    It's £2 for a single journey anywhere between Dukes Mound, Brighton University (Moulsecoomb campus) and Hove Town Hall.

    And people wonder about how intelligent you need to be to work for the council .....

    But you CAN register multiple number plates on the Brighton & Hove system. Having just changed cars, I can also report that the system copes with that very easily as well.

    Social housing tenants earning over £30K will have to pay up to the market rent

    What's a market rent? Out here in Firle, where a high proportion of housing is rented from a private landlord (the Firle Estate), that landlord sets the rent in line with the company's assessment of the value of the tenants to the local economy. Families who work locally and have children who...

    Women's World Cup final

    We'll never know how England might have performed if the Lionesses had reached the final. With the Americans playing like this, it's probably just as well that this isn't being tested.

    Greece crisis: Europe on edge over snap election

    ... And the leaders they have had for years have been well and truly cast out, as this referendum result proves. Now it is Europe's turn to respond positively.

    Religion & Science: A balanced view for my kids.

    Eh? I'm aware of a small number of sects that act as if they have had the absolute truth revealed to them, but it seems quite clear that the vast majority of religious people live with the uncertainty of their faith.

    Religion & Science: A balanced view for my kids.

    As long as you have the phrase "a God or gods" in that diagram, you're going to have to explain what you mean. And you can't explain what you mean without defining "God" and "gods". And once you start doing that, I'm going to be asking you awkward questions, such as "Why do you say God is like...

    Religion & Science: A balanced view for my kids.

    I'm not saying that religion teaches people how to live. I'm saying that religion teaches people how to question. The defective thing about science is that it teaches us that there are absolute truths, but fails to tell us that, in the matter of morality, there is no absolute truth.

    Religion & Science: A balanced view for my kids.

    The important thing for kids to learn is that "religion" isn't a set of alternative explanations for the things that are well explained by "science". Religion is about how to live one's life, how to interact with other people, good behaviour and stuff like that. And make sure that kids realise...
