My wife’s sister, now 36 but the archetypal quiet introvert as a teenager, would spend a serious amount of time ‘alone’ with a family friend who was 19 years older than her and a local wedding DJ, from the age of 14 or 15. I myself had not been with my wife very long by the time this all...

Thanks. Flying into Alicante so ideally wanted something on site at the airport. Will take a look at your recommendations.

Travelling to Spain in a couple of weeks with the strife and two kids, and we’re going to need a car. It’s been a little while since I hired a car abroad, with the kids and for an extended period anyway, so thought I’d reach out once more to the NSC massive for a bit of sage advice. What things...

Was never a particular fan of Linkin Park, or the genre, but this tribute to lead singer Chester Bennington’s close friend Chris Cornell always struck me as profoundly emotionally charged. Shortly after, Bennington himself took his own life, on the anniversary of Cornell’s death.

It’s an incredible story, one that I’d been aware of for a while, that unexpectedly hit a little closer to home today. My grandad’s surname was Malkinson, hence my mum’s maiden name. An unusual surname perhaps, but since the story seemed to have originated in Manchester, I assumed no more than a...

Blundell Park - 1899 to present. Much of the original, wooden structure still in use. I have no idea how.

In my late teens, following a series of decisions which were both seemingly stupid and yet would turn out to have been 100% right in the long run, I had hit upon hard times and found myself living in a 1987 Peugeot 309 in the outskirts of Middlesbrough, a town I was not familiar with. For...

Well, if that is indeed the remains of the sub, at least it offers a degree of closure to the matter for the families. I think, given where we were at this point, finding conclusive evidence of the sub’s fate is about as positive news as could realistically have been hoped for.

They can open the hatch, for additional oxygen supply, provided it is of course steadily on the surface. That would give the rescue mission more time, obviously.

If I learned anything from the Covid shít show, it’s that lots of people say lots of things. Much of it, be it positive or negative, merely for their own 5 seconds fame.

Saw this posted in another thread, and I’ve since watched the full two hours. It’s an interesting discussion, absolutely, but I can’t help but feel that it errs on the sensational. I’ve been using AI, or more specifically GPT, commercially, for about 2 and a half years. Without being incredibly...

No idea where that time went. Fair to say you lot have done a little bit better than we have in the time since.

Isn’t that what the IRA used to do?

Same to you - hope you continue your great league form and go on to win the cup!

Just back home in the industrial norf, feeling absolutely shattered after a long few days, but enjoyable ones nonetheless. In terms of the atmosphere, it was very good in the concourse before the game but definitely anti-climatic and nowhere near as good as Southampton in the stands. I think...

Tried to find a previous response where I’d answered this, but having failed to do so I’ll keep it short and sweet. As a follower of a club who for many years had ambitions of moving to a new stadium, and continuously failed to do so, I was intrigued how then League One Brighton, playing at an...

Funnily enough I’m sat in the sunshine outside Captain’s by the beach. Daughter’s having some chips, I’m happy with a nice cold pint of Kronenberg. Weather much better than advertised, and Brighton has been very hospitable so far. If you could maintain that level of hospitality on the pitch...

Darren ‘Daz’ Mansaram is the name of the Grimsby player. What do I win?

Came he to say what a classy touch that is. I’m more and more impressed by Brighton and above Albion as the minutes tick by; I just hope that stops at around 2:15pm on Sunday.

“Confident” isn’t a word I’d use to describe how I’m feeling. How could I be? You are levels and levels and levels above us in terms of quality. It’s just a weird, nagging feeling that something quite bizarre is about to ensure. Bizarre and in Grimsby’s favour. I mean, that’s the only way...
