    [Misc] Selling below cost price...

    There's a story in today's paper about a former premier league youth player (with accomplices) trying to sell a (stolen) £2m Ming vase for £450,000. Made me muse about things we buy and then sell at a loss. (And I wonder how much Chelsea will sell Marc Cucurella for). My fess is a hand-built...

    [Drinking] Most wonderful pub outside Sussex, and why?

    I’ll offer up a couple… Oystercatcher, Otter Ferry, Argyll…seafood, amazing location in the middle of nowhere Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem, Nottingham - so old it gives you goosebumps

    [Football] 2023-24 Premier League dark horses?

    (Aside from us of course, who?) Chelsea might be a dark horse?

    [Misc] Proud dad

    One of my sons, 35, has had his struggles with depression and low self-esteem, but at heart he is a gentle and loving character. Today I received this from him as a fathers day gift. He had dug up a cruddy file in his garden, turned it into a knife blade, fabricated the handle, made the holster...

    [Football] Harry Kane? Poll

    We're all as nervous about this game as a Palace derby, maybe moreso aren't we?. Just thought I'd try to take the temperature amongst the NSC throng with this poll. PS I think it may be a tough afternoon, mainly because of him.

    [Albion] "Tony is going to have to put together a £0.25 billion++ team of replacements"

    This title is a comment from the Solly March thread earlier. Isn't it the point about our club's brilliant, league-best model, that we have developed a conveyor belt of talent? There's no need for "Tony...to put together a £0.25 billion++ team of replacements" as the replacements are already in...

    [Football] Game vs Palace - how do you deal with it, therapeutically?

    Living in Argyll now I won't be at the game today though a few years ago I would have (tried to have) been. This fixture causes me almost emergency medical situations, as I'm sure it does for many reading this post. We don't have Sky & the thought of following the scoreline on BBC is too...

    [Football] Turgid game

    Apologies if it’s fixtures - which I’m sure it is… But I’m watching this incredibly tedious Belgium v Canada game wondering what what the least entertaining Brighton game you’ve been unfortunate enough to witness? I’ll start things off with the Charlton game at Falmer 29th December 2010. I...

    [Help] Hip pain/hip replacement [probably only for older readers]

    Blue 'n' white mentioned his bad hip in his golf clubs post. I was lucky enough to get a hip replacement just before lockdown, January 2020. It was life changing: aged 58 I could barely walk 100m, I had the operation conscious with an epidural and 24 hours left the hospital - a fortnight...

    [News] BBC website footie coverage down the pan

    I notice they no longer have individual match threads, just a single thread for the whole division. More cheese paring of popular stuff to fund their ludicrous nonsense. Harrumph

    [Humour] Welching on your bets while retaining your honour?

    Apologies if fixtures. Last season, unwisely as it turned out, I bet my Leeds friend £40 that they wouldn't win the Championship. Obviously a massive blow to me when they did. I had no concrete intention to honour my bet - I have my limits - but the nagging has been constant and intense. So...

    [TV] Samira Ahmed settles with BBC

    I'm not a supporter of inequal pay - but the real issue here, and what really winds me up is that Jeremy Vine gets paid £4,000 for making a no-mark 12 minute programme. What a waste of money! £4,000! Sack Vine and give the job to a young talented lower paid person say I. And while we're about...

    [Football] Typo in Grauniad

    Reporting Potter's post match comment: “Absolutely delighted. It’s a wonderful feeling. We had three tough games with no pints so it’s nice to bounce back at a place like this. I thought we did really well in the first half ... pressed well and defended well, kept the ball when we had to and...

    [Misc] Other forums/discussion boards that you subscribe to?

    Apologies in advance if fixtures. If you don't mind my enquiring: other than NSC, which discussion boards do you actively belong to, that is, check regularly, or contribute to? Me, boringly it's Mustardland/Discuss the Archers to enjoy listeners' terse invective levelled at the...

    [Football] Malaise?

    Apologies in advance if this Q has been covered in a posts or a thread I've missed. I've no idea what's going wrong - if I did I'd be a rich football manager. But I don't think CH has all of a sudden become a bad manager, and I don't believe that our players have suddenly lost their talent...

    [Albion] Semi is all upside!

    1. I'm fully prepared for a thorough cow-grubbing from the Fauntleroys. 2. I couldn't care less if we lose. 3. We'll be making more noise than chiteh at the final whistle! It's all upside!
