If and when the Government scrap all EU laws, will the UK Clubs be able to return to the pre Bosman Judgement situation where a club could refuse to sell a player's registration even after his Contract had ended? I understand that the Judgement was made by the European Court of Justice on the...

I watched the first story of the latest series of Walter Presents on Channel 4 More and thought Sara Mortensen's portrayal of an autistic person was brilliant. A performance to match Sofis Helin in "The Bridge".

The new season's edition of the public transport users guide to Football Grounds has just been published. It covers all venues in England from Premier League to Non-League Step 6 (eg. Mile Oak, Arundel) and some other sports. IMHO indispensible. It will be probably updated in September to...

The R I lecture this year for the next 3 days is about Viruses. The lectures are aimed primarily for children to understand but usually make sense to a thicko like me. The first is on BBC4 at 8pm tonight and I recommend it if you are interested in the subject and have an hour to spare.

One of the Jazz-Fusion greats at 79 from Cancer.

Does anyone else have the same problem as me when using NSC? Whenever I click on "View First Unread" on very large threads for example "Brexit" or "Main Covid 19" I am taken to the very last posting on the thread rather than the "First Unread". Is there a cure?

Sorry if this has been mentioned before. I tried the search facility with no positive result. I note that one of my heroes when I first started to watch the Albion celebrated his 90th Birthday earlier this week...

One of the stars of Z Cars and Softly Softly. Two series that changed British Police TV from the the Dixon Of Dock Green sleepy image of Policing to a more gritty style. Incidentally early outside scenes for Z Cars were filmed in Crawley to represent Newtown on Merseyside.

Age 83, star of "The Gentle Touch" and "The Onedin Line".
