    [Albion] Transport to/from The Amex

    I think the signalling between Lewes and Brighton was upgraded a couple of years ago to allow more frequent trains. From memory I think it should be able to handle 10-12 trains per hour now. Main issue is lack of rolling stock. I read a day or two ago that Peter Kyle was questioning why the...

    [Albion] Transport to/from The Amex

    I do wonder if it would be worthwhile for the club liaise with the council and B&H Buses to see if it's possible to extend the 49 bus on match days down Lucraft Road and into the Bridge car park and building a bus stop and turning circle for them there. This might make it a more attractive...

    [Football] World Cup U17s semi final live video (BBC)

    Yes. Defender got his just desserts as Guehi scored from the resulting free-kick.

    Outstanding work by Foden for Brewster's third.

    [Albion] MOTD2 match thread

    The narrative for our last three homes games seems to have been we've only picked up points thanks to West Brom/Newcastle/Everton having an off day. Any credit for our performances seems so begrudging or qualified. It's starting to get a bit boring now.

    Danny Cashman - our best prospect!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoqnWPu1dh8 One for you to enjoy. Quite jerky footage annoyingly, but maybe it's just my browser.

    Biggest crowd ever to watch an Albion League match (excluding playoffs)

    Just checked Tim Carder's book (which goes up to 1993) and the highest league attendance we've played in front of is indeed against Man Utd in 79: 52,641. Next highest listed is Spurs in 77: 48,613 (which was presumably surpassed at Newcastle last season). Highest in our first stint in Division...

    Your favourite ever comedian

    I love watching Rob Brydon doing his impressions, particularly on The Trip when doing Michael Caine or Mick Jagger with Coogan. Plus it gives me a chance to show my wife my impression of Rob Brydon doing Mick Jagger doing Rob Brydon doing Michael Caine in Zulu. "Ere, Rob! Rob!! Don't throw...

    Your favourite ever comedian

    I think the funniest thing I've seen him do is read his "The Tiger who Came for a Pint" book out on 8 out of 10 Cats. I was in pain laughing. So inventive too.

    Cologne fans

    Is there ever any need for police to resort to methods like water cannons or tear gas? I'm not sure there is any evidence to suggest they are effective in tackling crowd disorder. This is an FSF statement about French police tactics in Marseille on dealing with English and Russian supporters at...

    Has anyone ever done better with less talent than Vinnie Jones?

    Keith Chegwin. I can recall him even admitting his lack of talent in a magazine article back in the day; I forget which one.

    Cyclist on illegal bike who killed a pedestrian on manslaughter charged 'blamed victim'

    I am not so sure. I think, sadly, we have just become so accustomed to hearing about fatal accidents caused by drivers disregard for the law that we just shrug our shoulders and barely give it a moments thought. I read in the Argus today about a young driver arrested on suspicion of causing...

    £4-5 million to be spent of the stadium...

    Dunno. Presumably you'd have to go through the front of the lounge. No clues from the photo as to how you'd get up there in the first place. Maybe from the East stand upper. Need a wider angle photo.

    £4-5 million to be spent of the stadium...

    So it looks like there will be 3 or 4 new rows of seating in front of the studio / new lounge.

    New diesel and petrol vehicles to be banned from 2040 in UK

    It is a long time, but I suspect change will come sooner anyway as I think most manufacturers will not be making many (any?) diesel or petrol cars or vans in 10 or 15 years. Quite why the need today to appease diesel owners trumps people's right to breathe clean air is beyond me.

    I'll pass on your concerns to my daughter the next time she is in hospital with breathing problems.

    New diesel and petrol vehicles to be banned from 2040 in UK

    Wow. We already have a LEZ. Was not aware of that. Seems quite weak though. Taxis must make of a significant proportion of NO2 emissions in the city centre so quite they are not being required to adhere to less polluting engines is puzzling...

    The WORKERS Party now in compete disarray

    That was the reason given, but I suspect that reducing the cost to the taxpayer was as much, if not more of a motivation. Did they actually provide any evidence of a widespread problem of frivolous cases? How do you determine what is frivolous in any case? Even if a tribunal sides with the...
