So, I've just received my online ballot to select the Labour candidate to go up against Sian Berry and I have no idea who to vote for. The only one I've heard of is Eddie Izzard - and I'm clearly not to going to vote for a Palace supporter. But which of the other three? Tom Gray, Birgit Miller...

The thread on Barco mentions that we need to keep up our ginger quota. But have we had that many over the years? I've been watching since 1967 and I can recall Potts, Willie Young, Gallagher, Mayo, Sidwell and Ali Mac in that time. Who have I missed? Our quota seems to be pretty low.

It's just been announced that the Amex will be one of the host stadiums for the Women's Rugby World Cup in 2025. We were given broad hints about this a few weeks ago, so I'm glad it's official now. Really looking forward to this: it will a tremendous boost to female rugby across Sussex. And if...

One of the comments on the Wolves forum bemoaned that they'd been well beaten, despite Brighton having "three shit players" who'd be laughed at, if played for Wolves. Got me scratching my head a bit, I confess. Love to know who he was thinking about

Call me mad, call me bonkers but I'm going to have a bet on Albion winning every competition. So, I'm going to go for four singles, six doubles, four trebles and four competition accumulator - £15 for a £1 bet. But what do I call this? I'm not a regular punter so I have no idea: it's like a...

We're looking for a roofer to replace three tiles that have come off our roof. We've tried a few but had no luck, it seems to be too small a job for them. Are they any on NSC who would be interested? (we're in Coldean)

Brighton Pavilion's Green MP is not standing at next election. That will be an interesting seat to watch. She's been an excellent MP with a big personal vote, I wonder if Labour will snatch it back

The BBC is asking fans of the Premier League team to pick the best opponent that their team has faced. The person picking the Albion's has opted for Ronaldo. This struck me as a strange choice - he scored a good goal against us at OT but I don't recall him tearing us apart. I'd have chosen...

Is there a cut-off point for entry to the Amex? I've never been late before and don't know what happens. I'm tied up with the rugby team on Sunday and have to wait for the match to finish, so I won't get to the Amex until 2.30 at the earliest, possibly not until even later? Can I get in...

It's that time of the year when I start getting booze in for Christmas. But where can I go to get a good selection of beers. Every year. I used to pop into Trafalgar Wines and buy all sorts of weird and wonderful tipples. However, it closed down a few years ago and where can I go. Last year. I...

Blimey, I hadn't realised that NSC was so highly regarded - look at this tweet from The Dom, earwigging the mods' meetings :lolol: Dominic Cummings @Dominic2306 v often in no10 the most senior officials complained to me about Wallace (&LT) briefing Harry Cole at the Sun, sometimes...

This is a bit of a long shot but is anyone driving back to Brighton on Sat evening at about 10.30/11.00? Mrs G and I have tickets for the opera, booked some time ago (before train strikes were on the cards) and have no way of getting back. If anyone is coming back that evening - happy to share...

The doyen of French cinema has come to the final reel. His films made such a huge impression on me in my late teens/early 20s - he was such a startling innovator. A Bout de Souffle would still be one of my eight desert island films and Weekend, Pierrot Le Fou and Alphaville not far behind. "A...

It's always an interesting read to see what the fans think of the forthcoming season but this year's is very unusual. For a start, not a single fan has named Brighton as a team to go down - I'm pretty sure that's the first time that's happened The "first manager to be sacked" question normally...

There seem to be a lot of departures from the club - none of which appear to be announced on the club website There are only 14 players in the first team squad on the site ... and one of those is Maya Le Tissier, who said goodbye to the club on Twitter yesterday (again, silence from the club)...

One of the great theatre and film directors of our time has died aged 97. Brook was a revolutionary director, eschewing elaborate sets and trendy gimmicks to tell a story. His version of King Lear (starring well known Old Varndeanian Paul Scofield) is an unremitting depiction of the tragedy. He...

Just logged on to NSC and I got a message from my AV software that they've just isolated a virus when I logged onto the URL. I've been using NSC for 20 years and I can't remember the site being flagged as a possible source of viruses before. Anyone else see this?

I'm writing an article and I'm looking for a driving analogy. What's the hottest new feature for a modern car to have - the 'must-have' for a driver who wants the latest fad. And what was the previous hottest fad?

Quick question for car drivers who regularly go to London How long would it take to get to central London from Brighton at 3.30/4.00 in the morning? A company is laying on a cab for me and is allowing three and a half hours - that looks a bit excessive to me but, I don't drive, so have no...

Our girls rugby team is playing in Reigate tomorrow and we were short of people offering lifts. I looked up public transport and a train takes an hour and 45 minutes. If I factor in the time it takes to get a bus to the station, it would take me more than three hours to get to place that's about...
