    [Albion] Thrown out for taking a beer to seat

    Ah-ha! I had never been able to work out the "thinking" behind the flask ban. Now I know I look forward to you explaining how you managed to get bottle tops banned. :lolol:

    [Albion] Half and half scarves

    When they started selling their tat at Brighton station when we moved to the Amex I contacted the club and the council and neither cared that fans were being ripped off with shoddy tat being sold by <I don't think I'm allowed to use the word any longer but think of them "up the road"> with no...

    [Albion] "F*** OFF DE ZERBI, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!"

    I never want to see Lallana play in the Albion midfield ever again. Full stop. End of story. Him and Milner complete waste of wages. I'd rather we gave youngsters opportunities even if they don't necessarily get us instant results. Yes, they will make mistakes but they will be hungry and...

    [Albion] Where is this all going...?

    I have never been a fan of taking "past their sell by date" players like Milner and Lallana. We pay huge wages with little or no return. Milner's horror show against West Ham still haunts me and aside from a few cameos when he hasn't got "a note from his mum" Lallana has contributed next to...

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    I've been hearing similar since I was a lad in the 1960s. Never happened but that isn't to say that it couldn't. But if the teams are as you suggest then MAD is the only logical outcome. And therefore it is a waste of time and money to stockpile conventional and even smart weaponry as they...

    [Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

    But it isn't as straightforward as you imply. A married couple (and you are deemed to be a married couple unless you have formally separated) can only have one property which qualifies for "main residence relief" ie qualifies for CGT exemption. If, upon marriage, both spouses own a property...

    [News] Post Office Scandal -

    ...but she isn't making a very good job of it. She didn't know and she wasn't told and it wasn't her fault and anyway she is "truly sorry". So that's ok then. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/business-68893655

    [Albion] How exactly did we blow the Championship title in 2016/17?

    I have many Albion memories, good and bad, over the decades. In recent times, sitting in the Villa Park car park alone (waiting for Harty, everyone else had gone!), I had never felt so miserable. We had just been promoted to the PL and yet it was gut-wrenching to have blown the title in those...

    [News] Hamas/Gaza/Israel

    Spot on. Critical of Israel = anti-semite. It's the way that the extreme right wing State of Israel likes to play it. And both our politicians and those in the US just go along with it. It's so important that everybody understands that to criticise the genocide of women and children by the...

    [TV] Night coppers

    Except that.....wasn't it only last year we had that copper sat in his car in Lancing when a member of the public reported shoplifting and the assault on a female at a local co-op (about 40 seconds drive away) and the copper refused to go because he "wasn't response" and if he went to the...

    [Politics] Frank Field

    Were you never taught "not to speak ill of the dead"? Your anti-Corbyn obsession has resulted in the derailing of an RIP thread. Not necessary.

    [Politics] Sunak's benefits shake up

    Only the great Sir Robin Day comes close to Paxo when it comes to tough media personalities IMO. And even Paxo couldn't get an answer out of another Tory idiot. Did I say "idiot"? Sorry, I meant "leader"

    [Politics] Sunak's benefits shake up

    That's capitalism for you. It hasn't worked has it? Time to try a radical new approach to politics, But if you think Starmer will give it to you, disappointment will surely follow.

    [TV] The Apprentice 2024

    If he ever had a chance of winning, and I would have kicked him out when he didn't know how the losses had clocked up in the business when it was previously very profitable, that comment and his refusal to accept that he wasn't going to get rich quick sending pies in the post, did for him. I...

    [Finance] ******** The Scam Thread *********

    A referee's whistle! That will do the trick. Blow it as hard as you can into the scammers earhole. (They don't like that). Whether the scammers are calling you or contacting you online, BELIEVE NOTHING. TRUST NOBODY. I don't claim its 100% foolproof but it will make it so much more...

    [News] Government smoking ban.

    Won't work. There are plenty of outlets where tobacco is already available "under the counter". They have been going long before this daft policy was announced. Why? Because successive governments got greedy with tax/excise duty and the supermarkets are just greedy. It's available at well...

    [Politics] If there were a General Election tomorrow poll

    I echo those sentiments entirely. I have never voted anything other than Labour in a GE but I won't vote for a Labour Party led by Starmer. He is moving the party further and further to the right. His treatment of Corbyn and Abbott is appalling and his refusal to call for a ceasefire in Gaza...

    [Football] IFAB Keeper Timewasting Experiment

    This could be stopped immediately by requiring a keeper having on-field treatment to leave the pitch and not return within 30 seconds; the same rule which applies to outfield players. That would soon stop the feigned injury scenario.

    [Politics] Liz Truss **RESIGNS 20/10/2022**

    Can't argue with that. Once an elected PM falls we elect another one. Leave it to the "jam and jeruselem" mob or Tory MPs and look what you end up with.
