    [Politics] Count Binface's manifesto for the 2024 London Mayoral election.

    Ultimately if Sadiq Khan is that unpopular he will be voted out next month. It does beggar belief how the Conservatives can't rustle up a fairly liberal candidate to run. Boris Johnson pitched himself as such a thing and won, admittedly against a Ken Livingstone who went a fight or two too many.

    [Albion] Luton/Spurs/Sheff Utd away tickets

    Had there been a narrower Tier 2 band for Luton then there would be less scope for fans to move from 'lower' Tier 2 to 'upper' Tier 2 and make it a little bit more of a closed shop. I am on over 400 points so it doesn't effect me now but a few years back I went up from Tier2/3 borderline to...

    [Politics] Are Jaffa Cakes biscuits?

    If you leave a cake out it dries and if you leave a biscuit out it goes soft so technically they are cakes. Apparently that was the argument that won over the HMRC as they have different VAT rates but I have never verified that so it might be nonsense. That said a tomato is a fruit but I...

    [Albion] Sheff Utd - Cup or League?

    Not going to the League game as it is a Sunday but hopefully the Cup one if it is on the Saturday. Not a comment on the relative importance of the matches, I would be doing the same if they swapped days.

    [Football] Sunderland tinpottery

    My mum's side of the family are from Sunderland their rivalry with Newcastle makes Brighton - Palace look like a mid week meeting of the local Bridge club and extends back to the English Civil War. Both of them pick on Hartlepool, however.

    [Albion] What’s the worst away day in the 92?

    Palace - the one away game I won't do regardless of kick off. It has stopped being a football match and is now a military operation. Port Vale - Last went up there when we won the 2nd Division. Groups of men wandering the streets for no defined reason but I surmised up to no good. Genuinely...

    [Albion] If you are a current Albion season ticket holder, are you planning on renewing for next season?

    Going to be renewing. As for transport, if fans have to directly pay for the park and ride then the club need to be prepared for them wanting a better service.

    [Politics] Elderly people in supermarkets

    Similar thing happening was quite common when I worked in a convenience store 30 years ago. In fact some people seemed allergic to baskets and would put a couple of items on the counter then let you start ringing them up before continuing their shopping. When I became a supervisor I just used...

    TBF the underground is beneath most of us.

    [TV] UKCC23 - R16 Match EIGHT - The Office vs The Young Ones

    I love The Office. Apparently Ricky Gervais was on the London Underground the day after the first episode and he heard people complaining about the documentary set in an office on BBC2 the evening before! Also like Cleese with Fawlty Towers he parked it before the quality waned. That said the...

    [Travel] Incredibly boring train travel logistics question

    You should be fine. Certainly I have come back to Durrington via Brighton and gone through the turnstiles to use the toilet, get a drink, etc. before.

    [Albion] Would failing to qualify for a European competition this season be a disaster?

    Last year was a wonderful achievement but Chelsea and Tottenham had off years. If you look above us now the only really interloper is Villa.

    [Brighton] Two Brighton & Hove Labour Cllrs Expelled!

    I do see why people would prefer local politicians to be independent but a lot of the rate payer Councillors were really Conservative. Once one party is involved and offering money to campaign it would mean individuals having to raise their own money to get elected to contest them and that is...

    [Brighton] Two Brighton & Hove Labour Cllrs Expelled!

    Can't speak for Brighton but it has been one of the great pleasures in my life to help get rid of most of the Conservatives in Worthing, hopefully extending to the two MPs come the General Election.

    [Travel] Southern Rail to Chelsea

    In the worst case will have to get a train back to Brighton and the 700 bus back to Worthing.

    [Albion] Arsenal and Palace tickets

    I have been Tier 1 for all games for the last three or four years, having built my points up by going on less popular away trips before that, but tend not to go to weekday away trips and haven't done any away European ones due to work. I suspect that will be a fairly common thing for people who...

    [Albion] Arsenal and Palace tickets

    I have been to all League games home and away so far this season but won't be going to Palace as it has stopped being a football match and become a military operation. Also haven't done the European games as they are mid week and have to work so there are opportunities for fans to make up...

    [Football] Your second team and why ?
