surprised this hasn’t come up on here, and have just done a search to check. Charges have been dropped against him for rape and assault, Manure seem to be working towards bringing him back, but there is plenty of opposition to it - Rachel Riley, for example. On the one hand, what happened to...

One of the true greats of the twentieth Century. Contributed greatly to the peaceful demise of all-powerful Communism in the Eastern bloc. I can remember feeling dreadful seeing pictures of him with his head in his hands when Thatcher and Reagan refused to support him in trying to oversee a...

Just seen that Judith Durham, lead singer with the Seekers, has died at the age of 79. Holds a special place in Albion folklore, I believe, as being the vocalist on the Carnival is Over, the song played after the last match at the Goldstone…..

Just watched Dispatches on Channel 4 tonight and found it devastating, about 3 kids growing up in one of the poorest wards in the Country in Luton and the effect it has on them and their education. If anybody thinks levelling up is going to be a piece of cake, or that the ending of the £20...

Just checked it out for this weekend to see if any Brighton players were in it, given our performance yesterday. Not only were there none in there (fair enough, perhaps) but the result was not mentioned in his introduction - Brighton’s first home win of the season.... or lacklustre Spurs without...

Immense and influential figure from my time as a young man dr John has died. What a voice. What a piano. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-48551452

I am due to be having a Hip Replacement operation in a couple of weeks' time. Everyone assumes I must be in agony when I tell them that, which I'm not. I am well aware that something is wrong, but I am also on 3 different painkillers. I am not worried about the operation itself, even though I...

http://https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-46036314 This was on South Today tonight. A vulnerable Polish man being kept in dreadful conditions. Two people arrested for it this morning This was in Chilworth in Southampton - just down the road from me, a couple of miles away. It is...

Hugh Masakela has died A great jazz trumpeter and an anti-apartheid campaigner to boot. A hero for me on two fronts. :angel: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-42786749

Having had a very good day working in the garden and doing a lot of things I had wanted to do for a long time, then coming in to watch the glorious Albion stick it on Wolves, a few minutes in to the second half we received the message that we had a brand new grandson!!! I'm suggesting they call...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-37288843 Did anyone else watch the programme about the "troubled" Southern health trust. I may be biased because I live near Southampton, where it is based, and know someone who has been involved in protests about the operation of the trust as she has two...

http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/628252/Jeremy-Corbyn-under-fire-again-for-comparing-Christmas-to-SOCIALISM Mr Corbyn under fire again from the Daily Express. Although I am left-leaning, I am not a supporter of Mr Corbyn. But as a person of faith, I happen to think he has a point - in fact...

I always find the "What if" and "if only we had.... " threads on here a bit irritating, mainly because "We didn't, so what's the point........." But I thought I would try and get in to the swing of it by posing a question of my own. If we draw with Middlesbrough on saturday, but score 7...

I am not a great golf fan, but marvellous scenes as Tom Watson finishes his final Open Round. A true gentleman and all round genuine nice guy. and a pretty good golfer as well. One person won the (British) Open 6 times - Harry Vardon in the first years of the 20th century - and Tom only one of...

Quite surprised nobody else has posted anything about this. Sat down to do some stuff on the laptop, but have become totally captivated. Harrowing, wonderfully done, and so clearly true in the little details of how life goes on - the interest of the little boy in how Jenny died, the kindness of...

Does anyone out there have hearing aids and use a mobile phone with them via the T-loop? I got a new phone last week - Samsung Galaxy S5 - but the "hearing aid mode" is missing from the accessibility options under hearing, despite checking beforehand that the phone should work in this way...
