Me and the missus are off to Gdansk in February for a few days so are there any bars or restaurants etc that the good folk of NSC might recommend? I do like a beer so a good choice would be splendid. We'll probably go to the WW2 museum and (maybe) Westerplatte (if there's much to see there...

Dear all, I thought I'd ask the great and good of NSC if they had any advice on coming to terms with losing a pet (in my case a 14 year-old Staffy) My Obi was a Battersea rescue and was 9 years old when he adopted us. It has been such a joy to have him in our lives an all has been well until...

I'm leaving my present contract at it's conclusion (finishes Friday 27th July) I'm moving to a sim-only deal as I'm very happy with my current handset and have got a decent deal. I have received my new simcard and am wondering, as the 27th falls on a Friday, when would be the best time to...

I've just received a letter from my employer of two months stating that I fall under the required income to be automatically enrolled in the company pension scheme. I retired from the railway two years early in 2015 and took this driving job more to get me out of the house and because it is an...

The M23 will not be closed northbound between the A264 and Gatwick this weekend. Due to the bad weather that's been forecast the work has been postponed less it impacts on Monday's rush-hour because 'the surface hasn't set properly' :) The Contingency Weekend for doing this work is now 22nd-24th...

With the fixtures coming out tomorrow (and the dates of the International breaks known) we're looking for a nice break in Europe for a bit of sunshine. An all-inclusive deal would be ideal. We are in our late 50s /early 60s so don't want too much heady nightlife - just a nice relaxing time...

......and if so has it ever been used even for a few minutes this season: Stockdale Bruno Duffy Dunk Bong Knockhaert Stephens Kayal March...

I'm going up by train on Saturday and staying over near Hillsborough. I'll likely have a few ales in the Sheffield Tap on the station then head off to my accommodation to drop my gear off then go to the match. Are there any recommendations for post-match ale pubs. Is Kelham Island as good as...

I had an mid- afternoon start in the Cottage Inn on the harbourside where I had a bite to eat, then wandered around to the Nova Scotia and met a couple of City fans. I finished my pre-match drinking in the tiny Merchant's Arms. Nice ales and good company. After the game I headed to the V Shed...

I've managed to pay up my mortgage a little early and have around £15,000 to invest over 5 years or so. Do any money-savvy NSCers have any advice where I should invest? I have already used up this years ISA allowance and have a little extra set aside for emergencies. Many thanks in advance

Boxing Day and the last day matches are difficult for many fans to attend (in the latter's case due to Sky Sports demanding lunchtime kick-offs) So with this in mind I set out to see if I could find a solution. Here is my fixture list: Blackburn R v Burnley Brighton & HA v Charlton Athletic...

I've just part-exchanged a Honda PCX125 (a brilliant little scooter) for a 2014 Honda Forza 300. The PCX was kept outside under a cover for two years and the dealer was surprised by how much corrosion was evident. The brake disc was rusty where the pads didn't keep the disc clear, and the forks...

Can anybody recommend a decent motorcycle glove for winter riding. Protection is of course important but I need something that will keep my hands warm on a very cold early morning commute of 30 miles. I've yet to find a pair that can't keep the cold at bay for more than a few miles. I'm not...

Has anybody got a recommendation for a pub within reasonable walking/tube distance from Loftus Road? A real ale pub would be a bonus :drink:

I really want to visit Germany. I can get by in France with my school French but would like to make a better fist of the native tongue on a longer stay in Bavaria Trouble is, it just looks so difficult. A lot of French is so easy to translate, but German seems to be so complicated. I was just...

I was talking to a Gills fan today about away games and stuff and he told me that he didn't have much time for Brighton as Gillingham had 'helped the Albion out in it's darkest hour yet the Brighton fans trashed the stadium, caused untold bother in the town and generally weren't good tenants'. I...
