    [Other Sport] Why do tourists love pigeons?

    My daughter, as a 6 year old, upset some elderly Polish women in Krakow by deciding that as the pigeons there were so tame she'd pick one up (she was used to handling chickens and other animals at this age, so it's perhaps not as bizarre as that might sound). Turns out pigeons there are seen as...

    [Misc] Worst holiday you’ve ever been on

    Everything in that list being present would make certain I wouldn't book. Holiday is escaping all that stuff for me. Last weekend a few of us met to do a small, quiet celebration for a birthday in North Laine. One of the group was late so we went and sat on the beach for 20 minutes to wait for...

    [Football] The cup final

    This will sound very bitter, because it is, but I'd like City to absolutely HAMMER United to an embarrassing extent, totally crushing the confidence of Fernandes especially, then in a few months the FFP charges come in, they have all their wins of the past 15 years taken off them, but not handed...

    [Travel] 2x return from Newcastle to London on LNER. Guess how much?

    £156 is crazy, but not as crazy as a Brighton to London Travelcard booked a month in advance costing almost half that for a fraction of the distance and journey time.

    [Albion] Bizarre club merchandise sizing

    Is one of them older stock? I've got an older XL polo and a newer L that fit the same. I get the impression sizes have adapted to customers over the years and a one or even two size drop in what counts for each size has taken place. Not just the club, but other shops too - I've got a Fat Face...

    [Albion] What is the punishment for a misbehaving guest?

    Punch in the mush not entirely unreasonable. Looks like a warning letter for first offence (page 27 of the club charter) but the rudeness to the stewards may maybe make it worse. The Ts and Cs: 13.11.Both you, as the Season Ticket Holder and your Guest will at all times be responsible and...

    [Brighton] Old Brighton Postcard

    Love that. Do you know what year it is? Wonder if those are gas masks in the boxes two of the women are carrying.

    The silliest insult someone has given you?

    A few months ago, when the mullet reappeared on the heads of many men in their early 20s around Brighton at least, I was in a pub on a university reunion and heard a member of staff refer to one mulleted man has having attained "peak virginity" which felt like a cruel, but quite inventive insult.

    The silliest insult someone has given you?

    Both of which are described here - "belming" being the tongue in front of teeth one https://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mb6music/A19367814

    [Drinking] Shane Duffy - Charged with DUI

    They should and I'm sure they will. Good mate of mine is a Norwich fan and from his stories they seem to do things the "right way" - they ditched a shirt sponsor after they didn't remove provocative "adult" social media ads for example. Gave them 3 days and then binned them off when they didn't...

    [Albion] Champions League 23/24 Thread

    I think it might have been journalist Scott Murray, but someone referenced after the City game the weird way that unconscious bias towards one "big 6" team in a game might have major consequences for another so the negative impact of that bias is doubled up. Foden's slip and freekick for...

    [Albion] Champions League 23/24 Thread

    If City win the league again this year I think all the other clubs in the league should find a way to get them to sign Kane in the summer just so someone else has a chance.

    [Albion] Champions League 23/24 Thread

    That's one of the few decisions of recent years that still annoys me. It shouldn't have even been a corner, it should have been a goal kick, and it happened during the time added on that was way more than it should have been. Absolute robbery and then for Man United to go on about showing...

    [Albion] FAB member vote

    It might be that I'm just getting old and grumpy but the whole premise that comes across in a number of them, explicitly and implicitly, that the "fan experience" needs to be improved and that the club have a responsibility to do it, makes me nauseous. It just seems like it reinforces the...

    [Humour] Harmless work pranks

    I had a job where a small group of us would spend all day, every day, typing names and addresses into a database, all off those postcards you used to have to send in for competitions before the internet. We were based with the call centre staff who hated us, thinking we had the easier job and...

    Which current football player do you dislike the most?

    Garnacho always reminds me of Simple Jack from Tropic Thunder. I think it's the hair.
