Other half's big birthday coming up, so looking for a nice Sussex hotel, country setting, acres of grounds, spa facilities, etc, you know the sort of thing. Been to Ashdown Park – ticked most boxes but spa a bit limited. So, time to ask the great and the good of NSC for your esteemed...

I have a 60-year old Tissot watch that needs fixing. Apparently needs parts not stocked by Tissot (according to TH Baker) Any recommended specialist, Tissot-certified watch repairers in the Brighton area?

Apols if previously posted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSzRc-UWwJU The comments suggest that some people took this seriously...

Last night my season ticket mobile pass was rejected by an East Upper turnstile card reader. It's worked perfectly well up to now. I was told I now had to queue up at the ticket office and return with a paper replacement. Big pain. Anyone else had this? Ticket person suggested it may have been...

Amazing the Spurs game was stopped for several minutes so that a single fan out of the 50,000 present could receive medical treatment. Don't they have ambulances in Newcastle? Course, no more of this pussyfooting around under the new ownership. Anyone else threatening in future to hold up...

Every game, it's always the same. Whenever a corner is taken, and the ball is arcing menacingly over the penalty box, some unseen voice bellows, at deafening volume, "Awaaay!!" . Not just any old voice, this one has all the menacingly strangled articulation of a barking mad drill-sergeant...

From the BBC website report. Presumably opening up your body is followed by a surgical strike. This is one of dozens of clichés of footballing reportage, along with dropping the shoulder, and making yourself big (goalkeepers only). Making yourself small is of course mandatory after missing a...

We're in deep trouble now that the Hard Men in Black have Issued a Statement, one channelling their inner Churchill. (Oh, Yes! Woof!) It's almost Trumpian in its pretentious, pumped-up twattery. "Brighton next Monday will expose those who care and those who don't" Read and quake.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaIU0ZI5R1Q&feature=youtu.be First home game at the Amex... Stadium looking half-built... Sussex by the Sea, in those days of Der, Der, Der and Going Up to Win the Cup Back then, having gratefully escaped Withdean and now facing the might of Doncaster Rovers...

Hot news from up the road. Long-serving Palace mascot Kayla the Eagle has departed this earth. She is an ex-Eagle. Brown bread. Gone to meet her maker. There's even a 6-page tribute thread on the BBS. See post 45 for details. No doubt specially trained grief counsellors are on hand, with...

Since it seems to be such a problem currently, how about this idea for a crash course in #SocialDistancing ? Given experiences / horror stories to date, any other ideas?

Forget bathroom paper! What America really needs to keep everybody safe... is more and more guns! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InhSMpH9mXQ No time to waste! Why shit when you can shoot?

Just to cheer us all up after yesterday, Owlstalk has a magnificent and thoroughgoing analysis of precisely why, after all those years, and despite everyone's best efforts to cover up the embarrassing truths - Brighton & Hove Albion remains an irredeemably and laughably tinpot enterprise. It's...

"I hope the footballing community as a whole appreciate how important it is that City win. A post on City's Bluemoon forum. (one of many in similar vein) That's it for me. I'm sure we'd all be utterly devastated if our team somehow conspired to prevent that from happening. Do your duty, Chris!

Saw the, er, highlights post-MOTD last night. BHA holding Arsenal to 0-4. They mentioned the huge Amex crowd (>5,000 apparently). So, from anyone who was there... How was it for real?

Not often you discover a thread on a Palace message board that is actually funny. Especially when it's about us. Sadly, seems like one or two of their posters were nonetheless whooshed. Could the OP in fact be Easy 10 in disguise?

Is this our Cup Final? For once, that term, routinely applied in a scornfully derisive manner to minnows facing giants, seems oddly appropriate. But in a good way. It's all the FA's fault really: pimping out Wembley – traditionally a shimmering prospect for the competition's glorious...

I'm looking to switch service providers. Been (unsuccessfully) searching for a fairly recent NSC thread on people's experiences and recommendations. Anyone got a link to this?

Currently, it's impossible to get onto Seagulls TV videos. I can sign in and access my account details, subscription, etc. But when I click on More/Seagulls TV and try to access any video, the content window is black and the page only shows "Sign in/Register" in the top right corner, rather than...
