    [Politics] Are Labour going to turn this country around?

    I fear Labour won't turn things around, because: a) the rot has gone too deep over the last 45 years, under all governments; industries sold-off (often overseas), public services contracted-out or stripped-to-the bone, daily newspapers concentrated in the hands of a few Right-wing billionaires...

    [News] Farmers

    Environmentalists blocking roads to protest against Climate Change and over-reliance on cars > arrests and prison. Farmers blocking roads to protest against Inheritance Tax > fawning and forelock-tugging. A two-tier police and justice system.

    [Politics] Should pitbulls be eradicated from the canine gene pool?

    "He's a lovely dog, a big softie. His name's Tyson. He loves babies and small children ... especially for breakfast." Eradicate the dogs and the type of people who tend to own them as a macho 'hard man' status symbol on their sink estate. The dogs and their socially-inadequate chavvy owners...

    [Misc] The Award-winning official "More Snow Tomorrow?" Thread [2024-25 Season]

    Yeah, but we're right on the western edge of that northerly flow, so I reckon chilly, rather than properly cold, so sleet rather than snow except over high(er) ground.

    [Misc] Teams / Zoom in cafes

    I read somewhere that this 'trend' was started by that plastic surgically-enhanced waste of space Kim Kardashian, and immediately, millions of air-headed young females and glamour-model wannabes began doing the same. Walk down any British street now, and it's teeming with vacuous bimbos having...

    Or obsessively checking their phones (unless they are checking the Albion's score :) )

    [Misc] Teams / Zoom in cafes

    Problem is that the selfish anti-social twunts who play loud music or videos on a train or bus are also probably the chavvy types who'll turn aggressive if you ask them, however politely, to turn it down; they'll either tell you to 'F*** off to another carriage", challenge you to "make me turn...

    He'd have to visit it to do that!

    [Music] Furthest You Have Travelled For A Gig

    Saw Echo & The Bunnymen in New York a few years ago - but we were already there on a week's holiday; we didn't fly over specially to see them!

    House prices to rise 50% in next 10 years, London to double...

    Yeah, but given the outcry from wealthy vested interests and Tory newspapers after last week's budget hikes on Inheritance and Capital Gains Taxes, we can imagine the apoplectic fury if government tried to place limits on rents (or the number of properties that any individual can own), or raised...

    [Food] Eating out. Is it all that?

    We like going to restaurants for social reasons; an opportunity to dress-up, meet with friends, have a nice evening out of the house, enjoy food we have not eaten before or could not make ourselves, sometimes have conversations we might not have had sat on the sofa, and the overall vibe of a...

    [Albion] Your football ancestry

    Born in Shoreham (hospital), dragged-up in a council house in Lancing. My dad took me to a couple of Albion games when I was a school-boy, and then I started going to games on my own. Although I moved away from the area in the '80s, I always consider Brighton to be both my home town (I hated...

    [Albion] If you could improve ONE thing about BHAFC, what would it be?

    Our frustrating lack of consistency - playing good football one half, but struggling in the other, or not 'killing' games off when we take the lead.

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    Sadly, because the student loans company was privatised a while ago (because privatisation has proved such a resounding success elsewhere), students now have to pay interest on their outstanding loans. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn01079/ If the loans company once...

    [Albion] Premier League table after 10 games

    Mixed feelings! Happy, given that we've got a new manager, and a lot of new players, so that we are a work-in-progress, and this is probably a transition season. Hence out current position is probably better than might have been expected in the summer. But also disappointed, because we've...
