    [Misc] Retirement

    Glad you had an amazing time. Sounds like an incredible retirement trip. Any favourites? How do you rank SE Asia countries vs Malaysian peninsula countries? I can never reconcile that huge poverty and caste-system prejudice gap in India for a supposedly 'tiger' nation. But maybe just more...

    [Food] Vegi supermarket wars

    The big question is will anyone on this thread (and beyond) be able to stay off the topic of the price of veg, supermarkets generally (and probably air fryers) during Christmas dinner table conversations. Sadly I include the table I'll be sat at as probably beset by that first world problem too.

    [Albion] Now everyone has had their 'fun', perhaps time to calm down a little?

    ...and the likelihood of the down aspects have always been made clear by PBOBE on this journey which will take a good few more seasons with plenty of good times along the way. True. .....but don't let NSC be another thing that AI will suck the fun out of.......

    [Albion] Squad Harmony?

    I wasn't sure if this was one of Dave's kids getting ready to stand up for him / verify his source......

    [Albion] Positives from today?

    Just noticed I won £170 on the lottery last night. No begging letters please.

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Crystal Palace *** Official Match Thread ***

    At least we aren't the only top half team to lose at home to lower 'rivals' today. I'm taking that comfort. Sorry if already said, too depressing to scoll back.

    [Help] What do you buy your middle aged mates for their birthday

    It sounds like it is a 'couple' friendship so nice restaurant / posh hotel afternoon tea for 2 (so they can go as a couple etc) - somewhere they might not immediately choose to go or a place with NSC recommendations in the restaurants thread so you can blame the NSC community if they have a poor...

    [Food] Master chef Dan

    Not that Dan! Though he does make a mean Cow Pie apparently. We have a statue of him here in Dundee https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Attraction_Review-g186518-d12253334-Reviews-Desperate_Dan_Statue-Dundee_Scotland.html Though even as I post that I wonder what year he'll be cancelled and the...

    [Food] Master chef Dan

    A shame for those who haven't watched but you could start an identical thread for discussing the other two finalists as in fairness the title (perhaps edited since I saw it) or the post don't give away the actual result. I do agree though that Dan appears to be a dead genuine guy that had...

    [Albion] Leicester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    I thought watching MOTD2 from last night on iPlayer this morning was going to be a depressing start to the week but actually felt (relatively) ok after watching it.

    [Albion] Fulham vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    Having slept on it it's best to get back to some optimism and I'm prepared to say poor conditions, some failed experimental stuff, silly error early on that knocked the early rhythm we started with and lots to learn. I think we can bounce back but do need the realism as others have pointed out...

    [Albion] Fulham vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    It had been a decent couple of mins before that and I was just settling in for an early goal from us......I think another mistake at the back like that has been coming for a while, playing out from the back just hasn't seemed as sharp as it was early last season.

    There are 36 believers in a clean sheet on the score prediction thread, so please no skidmarks on that.

    BTW if anyone interested you could always rewatch the film Hot Fuzz if you want to reimagine today's announcement from Labour re Neighbourhood Watch scale up......

    [Misc] Brighton climbing the crime table, will Crime Crushers make a difference?

    Agree it isn't very clear. They say 'all from publicly available sources' but that's not very transparent. If you still use X you'll find a Sussex thread on under @Crimewatcher with some replies. Crush Crime does have a research page here https://crushcrime.org/research/

    [Misc] Brighton climbing the crime table, will Crime Crushers make a difference?

    https://www.gov.uk/government/news/more-bobbies-on-the-beat-as-pm-puts-peoples-priorities-first It's interesting that Crime Crushers don't have this as an objective - presumably because they knew this was in the pipeline anyway. I'm sure it will be welcome if it translates into reality - but...

    [Albion] Team for Fulham (A) - Thursday 7.30pm

    I think the non-Ferguson starting line-ups proposed are preferred by me. As others have said we need don't want to be left too open and those forwards named are still prepared to put in defensive graft, whereas Fergie doesn't seem so able to do that imho.

    [Misc] Brighton climbing the crime table, will Crime Crushers make a difference?

    Do you mean to strip out the public funding being thrown in that bandwagon direction to re-direct towards more direct objectives such as targeting the career criminals?

    [Misc] Brighton climbing the crime table, will Crime Crushers make a difference?

    Sorry to hear that - but sadly that lack of interest / response is such a common story. And it's not because the police are busy catching shoplifters as BevBHA pointed out: And I'm sure it isn't as simple as implied by Crush Crime - but it feels like we could descend into lawlessness - I think...
