Not sure if any of you have seen this in the Argus, it's about the abandoned bits of the King Alfred. Check out the photo gallery. I remember the bowling alley and the Laser Warriors thing; I'd assumed the space had all been re-used but no, apparently it was all just abandoned and left to rot...

Interesting article in the Independent ... https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/crystal-palace-owner-sale-buyout-b2476309.html

Article in the Guardian suggests that Gloucestershire are thinking of selling their traditional home in Bristol and moving to a new purpose-built 20,000-seat ground. This will be multi-purpose, eco-friendly - and a home for a possible Hundred franchise. It's only at the 'idea' stage at the...

One of the doors in our French windows in the kitchen is broken. And I mean properly broken, it's only hanging on by one hinge as the other two have snapped. (This wasn't a recent event, it had been dodgy for a few years but last night it finally gave up the ghost and is now wedged in place)...

Well, someone had to ask! Can't wait so see who we've got and where we'll be going.

Well, is there? I haven't heard of one, not even another tedious rehash of 'Football's coming home'. Hopefully no decent musician wants to be associated with this tournament. If there isn't one is this the first time since 1962 when we haven't had a song? No I can't list them all, but I do...

Saw on SKY Tony Bloom presenting an award to Stuart Storer. Haven't seen any other threads on it (apols if I've missed them). I know it was at half time and there aren't usually many people there, but did he get a good reception? Are there any photos/videos?

On the 'Grace' thread there is a sub-topic developing which probably merits its own thread. The remains of the West Pier. Should they be preserved as an iconic seafront feature, almost unique to Brighton in the same way as the Royal Pavilion is? Or should they be removed as they're a twisted...

Apologies if I've missed a thread on here, but I can't see any mention of a PoTS award. I've checked the club website and can't see anything, but admittedly I didn't drill down into any of the sub-sections. If there wasn't one - why not? I appreciate that there have't been any fans at the...

A software developer walked into a bar, but he couldn't buy a drink because he'd run out of cache.

Any other Fiveways residents know what's happened to Model's fish and chip shop? I knew it hadn't been open for a while, (and I know he often closes for a week in January) but during the Christmas break I wandered over and peered in through the window. It looks abandoned. There's drink still in...

Every year since I first started posting on NSC (1999) come January the cry has gone up: "Forget the Cup, the League is far more important this year. It's vital we get promoted / avoid relegation this season. Next season we can take the Cup seriously, but not this." And like tomorrow, 'next...

Two rabbits go into a cafe and sit down at a table. The waitress comes over. "What do you want? she asks. "I'll have a cheese toastie" replies the first rabbit. "Yeah, I'll have one too!" says the second rabbit. So the waitress goes away, brings them back their toasties, they eat them, pay and...

Inspired by Easy10's 'corkscrew' thread (where he couldn't remember what him and his wife had rowed about), what is the most pointless row you've ever had with your other half? For me I think it's the time we had an absolutely BLAZING row about what shade of red the San Francisco 49ers jerseys...

Does anybody know of a shop, presumably a sports shop, where I can get a Sussex CCC sun hat?

A man was paddling in his kayak in a river in northern Canada near the Arctic circle. It was freezing cold and he was worried that, despite his warm clothes, he'd die of exposure. He stopped paddling, and rummaged around in his equipment until he found his small portable gas stove. He lit it and...

Guess I'm really addressing this to Bozza and/or a mod: A thread has popped up (or something pretending to be a thread) saying 'Ten of the best hotels for yoga" It says it's 'Sponsored'. Is this a genuine ad or has NSC been hacked? I haven't clicked on it. Apologies if this has all been...

Wanna know where all those plastic Mancs (and plastic Seagulls) live? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/08/17/every-premier-league-clubs-fans-mapped-local-teams-support/

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/40497672 According to that BBC article 26% of Scots will be supporting the All Blacks on Saturday. (It's not the headline, it's about two-thirds of the way down when it mentions a poll on a website). Now it doesn't bother me in the slightest when due to...

A few days ago I turned 60. Obviously now my slow slide towards decrepitude and death will accelerate considerably, and I was rather hoping to get some freebies to take my mind off it. With that in mind I thought I'd try and get a free bus pass, and I discovered the following iniquitous...
