A few weeks ago near Nottingham I walked past some schoolboys who were heading home from playing football in a park and noticed one was wearing a Brighton shirt. I thought it's quite crazy how just a few short years ago we would have only rarely seen that even in Brighton. But it's even more...

We kept chickens when Mini-Exile was younger. They're fantastic pets with proper personalities. We had two that would jump up on our laps for a cuddle whenever we sat in the garden, another that would follow Mini-Exile around, and we never had any problem with rats, foxes or anything else. They...

At Anfield he seemed very lack lustre in the warm-up, at half time he gave it the least effort compared to the other subs (it was right in front of me - he was a second or two behind the others in everything, lower energy, seemed to be going through the motions), and in the second half while...

I love this as an idea for a thread. I wonder if there are some who misremember the other way because they've won so much that they don't remember something that would be hugely significant for most? I remember an interview with a Man United player who said that when they won the FA Cup, perhaps...

I'm going for 64 points and 5th due to a 2,413,819 points deduction to City for financial cheating.

I've got a lot of admiration for people, especially Republicans, publicly saying this. They have nothing to gain while making themselves a target for Trump supporters and for the retribution of Trump himself should he gain power again. Let's hope many others have the same courage.

I offer you Van Hecke celebrating Dunk's goal against Palace as a bit of soothing moral balm - at 3 minutes in there wasn't really enough time for the Palace player to aggravate him that much to make it personal, which makes it all the more special. Also, Maupay in front of Palace fans is...

I knew a bloke who was fined and given points for two speeding offences in the same stretch of motorway one night and tried (and failed) to argue it was a single offence, because he'd been consistently going 90 non-stop between the two sets of cameras rather than speeding twice. That's better...

It would be great if a timeline could be put on some of the other investigations. Knowing that City and Chelsea and anyone else might actually be in some kind of jeopardy rather than a perpetual twilight zone would go some way to giving the system some credibility

Came to say the same - this vote basically just creates Chelsea's shopping list!

My mate in the Arsenal end said they had a laugh about how much quicker we were being flagged offside each time compared to them.

Same. Some millennials have different expectations about what they want out of work, and often that's not a bad thing either, but any credible research tends to show there's actually no difference between generations in terms of productivity and if anything millennials can be more driven simply...

It's sad to see so many people experience HR negatively - part of the reason HR is like it is in some organisations is because the brief they have is so messed up. In many organisations they are the shield that's used by bosses to avoid having to deal with the staff, in many (I'd even say most)...

I'd love to, but at the moment Virgin are the only people who provide fast enough speed for the fact two of us in the house spend most of the working day on video calls, some of them not really things that you want disrupted or with a dodgy connection, and during school holidays Netflix is...

One of my closest mates has gone a route from having a healthy and justified scepticism of political spin and the media all the way down to now full-blown conspiracy theorist. For him nothing can just happen, it has to be part of a bigger story and controlled by some kind of poorly-defined...

Just wanted to share the UTTER SHAMBLES of Virgin Media. Where I live it's the only way to get decently fast and reliable broadband for 2 people working at home and a teenager. This monopoly means we've been stuck paying £65 a month for 350mps for a teeth-grindingly aggravating length of time...

The Just Eat ones with the robotic voice were so frequent and annoying I went from listening to TalkSport for about an hour a day while driving to now only listening to match commentary and occasionally Max Rushden. (I've also never used Just Eat.)

The Black Art. This is incredibly geeky, it's two guys neither of whom is a professional magician in the performing sense, but they make tricks for magicians for a living. That's designing physical gimmicks but also designing sleights and methods and approaches and performances and scripts. The...

That looks like the fabric used to cover the seats on the buses in Margate in the 1990s.
