[Sussex] Ronnie O'sullivan speaks the truth

[HHGull]

You might want to go to Crawley over Haywards Heath but I assume the majority of residents in Haywards Heath wouldn't want to live in Crawley.
Probably called the Heart of Sussex as it's pretty much in the middle?

It’s not so bold. Only claims to be the heart of mid Sussex.

 

[CheeseRolls]

Dear Mr o'Sullivan, please stop slagging of Sussex. Get in touch with these folks
https://weyarun.org.uk/
see if they can host your barge, or lend you one to live on. The K2 is fine you will see.

He's a darling, isn't he?

Disgusting

It's fair enough the players expect top conditions. They are putting their bodies on the line, blood sweat and tears, hours in the gym and then expected to perform in front of 10s of thousands of passionate fans under the intense sound and atmosphere of these huge sporting arenas and just for minimum wage. We can't have them walking past bins or needing to wear coats.

He's an honest/opinionated darling.

Probably needs a proper deep clean after hosting the darts the past couple of weeks

Trainers with tux trousers, not the best look!

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

There's a very good case that, instead of meandering along in a vaguely north-easterly direction, the West Sussex/ East Sussex border should run due North from just east of Shoreham.

This would hand Crawley over to East Sussex to do with as they wish*.

(* - they may wish to move the East Sussex / Surrey border south by a few miles so that Surrey gets it.)

I lived there for a year (1980). The 'new' town square (since filled in with buildings) was a venue for skin heads to harass Asian mothers with their kids in the afternoons.

I worked in a pub in the centre, and there were NF/BNP leaflets regularly left on the tables. The assistant manageress was openly racist. Alan Minter's dad occasionally drank in there. An absolutely obnoxious piece of work. The customers were generally belligerent bullying gammon. All white. The manager had a scam going with his accounts, and his missus, all fur coat and no knickers, was done for shoplifting during my time there.

I was overjoyed to move to London in 1981.

Your post has made me realise that I've lived in Sussex for most of my life, but I don't believe I've ever been to Haywards Heath.

Did my first gig there at the Clair Hall in 1973. Singer in a rock band (yes, I know). Two hundred in the audience. Nearly shat myself.

Over three years on, and I'm still not sure I've been there.

 

[Brian Fantana]

The fact you’re not sure is the most damning aspect. If you have visited, it was clearly so unremarkable as to be totally buried in your memory.

Do you like commuter towns? Do you enjoy washing your car every Sunday? Do you drive a mid range audi or bmw. Do you enjoy the comedy of Michael McIntyre? Do you think Rishi Sunak is doing a good job in the circumstances? Are you a fan of the wild rock and roll of the band Coldplay? Are you willing to overpay for a semi detached house on a 1960's housing development for the benefit of a fast rail connection to London? Are you a fan of exotic foriegn food like Italian, Indian and Chinese. When you dress down do you favour a polo shirt ? Big fan of golf ? Do you drink Birra Moretti? A nice prosecco for the wife maybe a bottle of Jamshed at the weekend? Does the decor of you house lack any colours other than beige or gray. Does your house lack books? Have you tarmaced over the front garden fo additional parking? Are your favourite films Goodfellas and Snatch? Do you think you could win if you could get on The Traitors orThe Apprentice? Do you listen to Heart Fm or wherever the hell Chris Evans is nowadays?

If you answered yes to all of these you already live in Haywards Heath. If you answered yes to 50% or more come talk to Jake or Chloe at identikit estate agents or they can come visit you in their company liveried Mini. Get started on your new life in Sussex's dullest town today

What a total waste of 3 years. You get one life.

How about Lindfield?

f*** Me. It sounds like the town has gone up massively in substance since I last visited in 1973

I've never been to Northern Ireland either.

You will be pleased to hear that Sid Minter died decades ago, and all the pubs, including the White Hart are under new management, several times over since 44 f***ing years ago.

fast forward 40 odd years
1,000 murders in London under the current mayor's watch
God knows how many more stabbings that weren't fatal
do you blame skinheads?

Ha! When I went to uni I could never say I came from Lindfield because of Linfield and Lingfield.

Whenever I tell people I went to Lisburn for work they get all excited and jealous that I got to go to Portugal.
