RIP Jane Birkin whose death was just announced. She singed my favourite song about Brighton (the town not football club). Writ by Serge Gaisbourg. Video filmed elsewhere obvs. Wot's YOUR favourite song about Brighton (the town not football club).

Was going to post this in the Branch Tavern thread, but perhaps it deserves its own. With most pub-related threads on NSC being about places closing down, here's some better news about three places (all craft beer focused) that are opening soon... THE NEW UNITY - opens today The former Branch...

OK, a slightly clickbaity thread title, but technically accurate. Just watched this five minute YouTube video covering some of the 50+ other Brightons (and New Brightons) around the world that are named after our one. There's a New Brighton up by Liverpool that was created in the 1830s by a...

Hope it's OK to share a link to a 7-minute YouTube video posted this afternoon about Brighton-based teams' great track record in American (and Canadian) sports. I know several of these teams have been discussed a fair bit on NSC in the past: BRIGHTON TIGERS: The top British ice hockey team for...

I know the Sing Li chippie was a favourite of many NSCers. Mr Sing Li remains very ill in hospital and five pubs by the station (the Railway Bell, Sussex Yeoman, Battle of Trafalgar, Duke of Wellington and Caxton Arms) are collecting money today for his wife and three young kids, should anyone...

As the title suggests, I was wondering if there was a list somewhere online (or elsewhere) of the full internationals who have played for Albion. They don't necessarily need to have been a Brighton player when capped. I'm specifically interested in finding out how many of the other 27 EU...

The ten most haunted pubs in Brighton & Hove according to this video, which also says that Brighton is regarded as the most haunted city in the UK... (*SPOILERS* If you can't be arsed to watch it they picked from 1st-10th: The Southern Belle, The Cricketers, Doctor Brighton's, The Druid's Head...

I've been getting into YouTube in recent months and I'm surprised how many of the big name vloggers are based in Brighton. The most popular YouTuber in the world, Pewdiepie (almost 60 million subscribers), for instance moved from Sweden to Brighton (along with his Italian vlogger girlfriend)...

Even the people involved in the application (who a friend knows) didn't believe the council would approve this in a million years: http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/14910829.Restaurant___s_pie_in_the_sky___4m_expansion_plan_is_given_go_ahead/ It seems we're entering the age of anything goes when...

That's the latest announcement from Southern. It's in relation to Pride, but doesn't differentiate which routes it applies to. Basically it sounds like EVERYONE trying to get a train from Brighton after 6am (6am!) will be tipped into the Amex home game style queues is how I read it. Probably...

Have seen a lot of posters criticising as 'small' the allocation of 3,000-ish away tickets that Charlton have given you. Whilst I appreciate you could take far more, a couple of quick points: 1. Bournemouth on the last day of last season is the ONLY time an away team has ever been given more...

Someone has asked me for a short list of Sussex sporting heroes from the past five (or ten if five draws a blank) years, but I don't really know much about local sport. Is there any Albion figure (other than Tony Bloom) who would fit that hero category or did most end up blotting their...

I seem to be the only person in Brighton to have noticed this as they're always fully stocked. It's the booze bargain of the year imho. The bright pink cans with a cartoon of a large breasted lady on the front might be putting some off, but I'm getting through twenty cans a day of this shit...

Don't know if everyone's been following the Sally Morgan controversy in the press in the past few days. Her husband and another relative have been threatening to beat/kill a guy who's been leafleting her shows (he leaflets other psychics' shows too and has never been threatened there). Lots of...

It must be almost ten years since I last received a package via regular Royal Mail post - everyone seems to use couriers these days - and I'm waiting on a package that was posted to me First Class on Saturday. I appreciate it's probably gone astray as I should have had it by now, but I'm going...

This was posted on the internet yesterday, and sums up most of this evening's threads in one go...

Got a day off Friday and fancy an all day walk, starting from central Brighton. Anyone got any suggestions? Was thinking 20-25 miles (6-7 hours) of actual walking, with a brief pub stop roughly every 5 miles. Looking at Google Maps, Brighton to Eastbourne looks like it might fit the bill...

I voted for them back in 2009 and, having viewed the alternatives on offer, will be doing so again this time out. I appreciate they aren't't the highest profile party. In fact they aren't really a party by most people's definition of the word, but a lone independent invidual. Jean-Louis is a bus...

Presumably there are a few gambling types on here. Have you ever had a bet specially priced up for you in a bookies (on something they don't normally cover)? The reason I ask is I follow a fast growing but very new sport called roller derby (basically teams of women on roller skates beating...

Probably not of much interest to anyone on here but me, but there's a story in today's Mail on Sunday about Russians trying to buy Charlton (stuff in the MoS usually fairly reliable where Charlton are concerned as the club's ex-website and programme editor is on their sports desk). Wouldn't take...
