    [News] Post Office Scandal -

    Nothing to do with the current case, but I've discovered that Paula Vennells was an exact contemporary of mine at university. We actually attended the same graduation ceremony. I feel a bit unclean now

    [Sussex] New 701 linking Eastbourne and Brighton via Falmer

    There's already a bus running between Brighton and Eastbourne going via Falmer - the 28. Sounds like this one is copying the route

    [Misc] Brighton ignores St George’s Day

    And a bit near St Andrew's Day, so you may have a few Scots complaining

    [Brighton] The things you can get on Facebook these days…..

    If GB is desperate to buy it but doesn't have the funds, we can have a whip-round

    [Cricket] Sussex CCC - 2024 edition

    Because the agreement with the ECB is that he can play 5 out of the first 7 games, so he has to drop out of two

    Henry Winter Top man

    I bet it was a lot more than the £2,500 pa I was offered by The Cricketer. This was in 1983 but that was derisory even then. When I told them that, the answer was "Yes, we were looking for someone with a private income" :lolol::lolol::lolol:

    [Music] The Live Music thread

    Excellent night with Doctors of Madness at the Duke of Wellington (with our very own Attila guesting on violin). One of my favourite bands and to see them in such a small setting was a real treat. My second gig in a week, following the Sam Lee one on Wednesday (a very different show) ... both...

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

    Yep, and if the MP gets such a suspension then his constituency can set up a recall petition asking for him to be sacked. But the point is that it's his or her constituency that does this, not parliament. I'm not saying that he shouldn't be suspended (in fact, I think he should) but there is due...

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

    I disagree. MPs are representatives of the people - even the Acts relevant to Parliament, MPs and voting are known as Representation of the People Acts. If the people elect MPs they, and only they, have the right to remove them. What you're proposing is the first step towards dictatorship where...

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

    Why does this keep coming up? (sigh). Governments can't sack an MP, it can sack a minister ... but Wragg's not a minister. His constituency party could deselect him but as he's not standing again, that's not really relevant. He can, of course, have the whip withdrawn but I suspect that may...

    [Misc] Have you ever discharged a firearm?

    Ha, I went to the Varndean rifle range once. I fired 10 shots, all missed the target although one hit the target of the boy next to me (he had 11 holes in his). I was told never to come back

    [Albion] Have we ever had a truly crushing last gasp defeat?

    Yeah, that's the one I immediately remember. It put us some way behind Chesterfield and it was a game that we shouldn't have lost. It was a miserable train journey home. I also split up with my girlfriend the next day, just to round off the weekend. Fo

    [Albion] Lawrenson to Liverpool.....

    For all the giddy heights we've achieved recently, he's still the best player that I've seen play for us. Imagine our current team with peak Lawro in it.
