Indeed. Angela Rayner is probably closest in the modern Labour party but doesn't quite have his charisma. A decent, hard-working politician who gave many years of service ... and gave us Falmer too.
And a Welshman to boot - Gorffwys mewn heddwch
I'm going on a supporters coach for the first time in more than 40 years - I couldn't be doing with the expense of train and hotel. I've never been to Villa Park before - not sure why, as I've been to all the other midlands clubs - quite looking forward to this one (even though we've lost seven...
I tried that last time I went to Twickenham and got hopelessly lost. I ended up at Twickenham station anyway, just about 40 minutes later than everyone else
My usual escape is walking to Richmond and, before it was closed, stopping for a drink in The Triple Crown, and then hopping on a tube...
It was a good night - who'd have thought that a DULLARD could be so interesting?
The most astonishing revelation to me was that the club is currently planning up to 2030; there's looking ahead and there's Brighton looking ahead
Or earlier. I was in a cafe on 29 October and they were playing Christmas records. By the time they reached Coming Home for Christmas, I was ready to smash something.
Mind you, this was in Worthing, so I should be grateful they weren't playing Vera Lynn
Guardiola's not a Football League manager and Robins is the manager who's served longest in the Football League, rather than the longest serving manager in the Football League
Harsh sacking though: he surely has credit in the bank
Woke up this morning to find there was no power downstairs and couldn't fix it on the breaker board. I suspect the rat (or rats) has chewed through the cable somewhere.
What else can go wrong?
I clocked the news this morning and, bleary eyed, went into the kitchen to find a rat staring at me. We rats in the summer and got pest control to get rid but just when you think you've got rid of vermin, they come back.
I suppose it's a bit like what's happening in the USA
Remember that game, it was the last time that I went to a Brighton match with the ex-Mrs Gwylan (TBF, she'd only been to two previous games, so it wasn't as if she was a regular). Really sticks in the mind, that game
The ref in Portugal gave a shocking penalty to Citeh, possibly the softest you'll see this season - fortunately Haaland missed so justice was served. No evidence there that the CL refs are better
Born in Brighton, raised in Brighton. Taken to my first match by my dad (losing to Walsall 3-2). He wasn't a big football fan, much preferring cricket but he knew how much I wanted to go and took the day off work to take me.
Sadly, my kids aren't that interested in the Albion but at least they...
There's a lot of noise from both sides but I stick to what I've thought for the past month - Harris will win the most votes and Trump will win the election. Can't see anything to shake that view
Three years ago, a finance company launched, with great fanfare, in the UK. Within a couple of days, they withdrew and considered their position.
I can't think why Nonce Finance wasn't a big hit over here.
