No offence.

Are there cliques?
I thought NSC was the least cliquey it has ever been.
I don't include my own personal clique in that obviously, but I appreciate that they just pretend to like me for gossip on transfers and finding out which Albion players got asked to leave the hotel in Vegas.
Having been on here for 'kin years, the members of NSC seem to have become much less friendly and more vicious in their interactions, mainly, I think, because of festering political differences.

EDIT: brightonfans! brightonfans.com
I think that is probably because a lot of people are using NSC the way they use Facebook - with constant updates on the minutia their personal lives and cryptic sighs about how they feel and stuff, looking for validation and sympathy. That is never what NSC has been and hopefully will never become. The day it does, I'm off.
Occasionally a thick skin is required on here. When that is the case it is best to either tough it out or take a short break. I've done both in the time I've been posting on here.
But in essence everybody on here is decent and as has said earlier in this thread, not much matters and most things don't matter at all.
There is yet another, which is still going, and is excellent - albeit quiet this time of year. Many on here did (or still do) use it, and it is in fact owned by our Dear Leader. Big differences vs NSC: it is not anonymous, and it is 100% BHA related (hence the low density traffic)

Dick Knight?
On another matter just had a wonderful weekend in Faversham. Camping and free cherries at the Painters Forstal campsite, followed by Open Gardens on Sunday. Always thought it was a Sevenoaks or Ashford type of place. Wrong again, as I'm usually told on here.
Gary C. was much better.
Yeah! Or, er, actually, no. FG? Whithawk1? Teenage racists and brooding 30 somethings with a massive chip on their shoulder? All ALLOWED by Gary to plough their tirade? He was a disgrace! (only kidding @Manx )
My neighbour does Open Gardens. We did it last year, when the Echiums were out. Quite possibly you wandered round the back of my house (access to my neighbour)!
