Just booked a break in Antwerp for December. Apart from the ubiquitous Christmas markets do any fellow NSCers have any tips for what to do and see (already signed up for a Beer walk).

My mate's going to a fancy dress party at the weekend dressed as a Liverpool player, well he is the spitting image of Jamie Carragher.

While changing between my distance and reading glasses I've just poked myself in the eye with a plastic fork I was eating my lunch with:facepalm:. As I type this with salad dressing smeared over my cheek, blurred vision and tears streaming from my left eye, I wonder has anyone else out there...

Me and Mrs Southcoastowl are off to Copenhagen next week for the first time, any tips for "must see" and "must do" great appreciated.

Do any of the good folks out in NSC land know of anywhere reliable on the south coast that can repair an AV receiver (surround sound amp)? My 4 year old Pioneer has decided that it only wants to send intermittent signals to the speakers which makes telly viewing a bit taxing!! It wasn't a...

I went to the zoo yesterday, there was only one animal in the whole zoo and that was a dog! It was a shih tzu.

Four calls this week from gentlemen :wanker: offering to sort out the problems with my Windows computer. Does anyone else get these?

Decided this summer that I need a new challenge. I've applied for and got a new job based in Paris. So, I'm calling all NSCers who have had experience of living in France's capital city for advice. Although my employer is providing an English speaking relocation company to help with the move...

Steve Evans Wolverhampton Council worker and amateur magician died this morning. This extraordinary man has touched many peoples' hearts as he has described his "journey" through terminal cancer to its inevitable end on Richard Bacon's Radio 5 Live afternoon show. His humility and sense of...

Anyone else missing the first home league game because they're Fairporting? Look out for the Albion flag in campsite 7.

Thinking of heading off to Barcelona for the wife's 50th next May. Do the good folks on NSC have any tips on where to stay and what to do? Goes without saying I'll want to have a shufty around the Nou Camp but apart from that and checking out Gaudi's architecture we've not got any firm plans.
