    [Albion] Away fans in home ends

    It's easy to assume everyone knows the rules but the massive idiocy of troublemakers aside I wouldn't be surprised if some of the away fans in the home end didn't fully realise it was segregated until they arrived. A lot of people there who seemed to be at their first ever game. Besides, surely...

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

    I don’t think I’ve ever attended any game ever where so many people have been in and out of the row of seats so often. In my regular west upper seat, a handful of regulars around but the majority not, and its relentless having my view being blocked by people coming and going in my row and others...

    [Albion] Jacopo Fazzini

    Good point. You wait ages for a Z then and then 2 (or 3) come at once.

    [Albion] Jacopo Fazzini

    X and Z are the only two letters in the alphabet we don't have in the names of any regular starters so for that reason I'm IN. Then we'd just need to buy Granit Xhaka for the full set.

    [Music] Knowledge you've acquired through songs or band names.

    Quite a few UK rappers use references that I have to look up. A genre it's easy to dismiss but is full of articulate, smart people with enviable language and wordplay skills. I went down a rabbit hole learning about Christian Rosenkreuz, Rudolf Steiner, Paracelsus and German renaissance...

    [Misc] Archaeological DNA matches

    No, but I absolutely love the idea of it. Going to have to get my DNA done now!

    [Travel] South Africa any tips please.

    Met some people - sometimes South Africans, sometimes other backpackers and tourists who had cars - and buddied up and got lifts for exploring and some of the longer journeys, sometimes via two or three stops in places, got some quite challenging buses / coaches a couple of times. Had family...

    [Travel] South Africa any tips please.

    I went around 25 years ago and backpacked around from Jo'burg to Durban then down to Cape Town. I imagine you'll be staying in far nicer places than I did at the time but as others have said keep your wits about you even in city centres and think about hiring a guide or taking organised tours if...

    [Albion] Positives from Today (Wolves Home)

    It's mentioned in the Crawley thread but if anyone needs cheering up Jay Williams scored an own goal (about 50 seconds in to the 'highlights') as Crawley lost 3-0 on Saturday. Crawley very likely to be relegated according to the bookies.

    I like it, thank you for the recommendation!

    I’ve listened to this on repeat all day. I never knew Indian Folk Metal was a genre and I think I might be hooked

    [Albion] Positives from Today (Wolves Home)

    Today sat near me there was a young couple who seemed to be on a date early in their relationship, and her tolerance for his mansplaining - she only said “yes I used to come with my Dad and brothers” twice - is I imagine a positive.

    [Help] Redundancy / Redeployment advice required

    HR should be able to demonstrate every step has been taken to avoid redundancy which helps prevent disputes and should protect both parties. The trouble is that those steps may not always be what we want or give us outcomes we’d choose (having been through this myself). ACAS will be able to...

    [Help] Redundancy / Redeployment advice required

    Definitely talk to ACAS. Do you know how many people were put at risk and if there was a collective consultation process? If that’s ongoing then things like extended trial periods can be negotiated as part of that too. If she does take the payment then look at what else she can get - no harm in...
