Stolen shamelessly from the Guardian... see here I reckon it's 17th August. Happy to share working but let's see what others can come up with first. Any takers?

Need some advice from the NSC sages. I am looking to get a new home PC and also could do with a laptop for work, and was wondering about the best/cheapest way to go about it. I need: Something for home - which means Office365 compatible and the ability to play a few games via Steam. Nothing too...

Hi all, In the process of having a clear-out, and I am reluctantly parting with my 2008(ish) Kim Eaton shirt, signed by a number of the squad. I won this in the NSC shirt sponsorship sweepstake. The shirt can be seen here and here. It is a (I assume women's) medium. I think the shirt is from...

Have searched, don't think this is fixtures. Brilliant interview with Lord Tebbit in the Big Issue. http://www.bigissue.com/mix/news/2390/lord-tebbit-gay-marriage-comments-go-viral The highlights...

I understand that the owners have stopped subsidising the club, and Ecclestone and Briatore want out, but alongside the ridiculous amount of TV money for Premiership teams and putting up the ticket prices at Loftus Road by a huge amount, they are now seemingly selling their best players and not...

According to the Guardian, Cameron today said Surely it should be or ?

All of this positivity and happiness is boring, what we need is a good old cycling debate. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-13040607 Personally I don't think the new law is needed, and I don't think it'll do anything to encourage sensible behaviour from the small minority of people on bikes...

Unbelievable but true. BBC Sport - Cricket - Cricket World Cup: Ricky Ponting faces ICC charge While I'm not Ricky's biggest fan, this is ridiculous. I'm sure the official responsible could have had a quiet word and asked him to replace the TV, but no, much better to report it to the...

According to the breaking news on BBC, Newcastle have handed Pardew a 5½ year contract. How long? That is going to be one serious compensation package when they sack him...

...or otherwise. I invested in my first mince pies of the season yesterday, Tesco 'deep filled mince pies' at £1 for 6. The only thing they were deep filled with was air; about 15mm of filling at the bottom and then a good 20mm of space. Definite thumbs down from me.

BBC Sport - Football - Dundee hit with 25-point penalty Okay, so it's not an automatic relegation, but it's a damnsight better than a pathetic 9/10 point penalty. I particularly like the quote The SFL board said in a statement: "We are of the opinion that lessons are not being learned. "Clubs...

Bloody hell, just spotted this... BBC Sport - Football - Bury sign Stockport goalkeeper Owain Fon Williams Whatever happened to him, a year or so ago he was meant to be the bees knees??

So Lord Browne's report has come out, and he's proposing an end to the hard cap on tuition feeds with some kind of soft cap coming in over £6000. The rate of interest charged on loans would increase once they start to be paid off, while the wage required to initiate the repayment of loans would...

Did a search and couldn't see anything about this, apologies if fixtures. BBC Sport - Football - Sheffield Wednesday facing administration League One side Sheffield Wednesday could be forced into administration in the next 24 hours unless they pay a tax bill of £1.1m. Sources close to the...

While Sussex are piling up the runs at Uxbridge, my team Warwickshire and collapsing to yet another defeat at Edgbaston. Brilliant at limited overs cricket but bloody terrible at the longer stuff... sound familiar at all? Warwickshire 313 & 36/7 (17.0 ov) Nottinghamshire 389 IJ Westwood* c...

It's my stag do in Brighton this weekend and the one thing we haven't yet booked is a restaurant for the Friday night. We are spending most of the evening in the Sidewinder, can anyone recommend a restaurant vaguely nearby that will accept a friday night booking for 20-odd slightly pissed blokes?

What would yours be? I've dropped anyone who won't be available for the World Cup in 4 years time, and picked some players that probably aren't ready for a Finals tournament at the moment but who can gain some confidence and cohesion by playing against some Andorran postmen in the qualifiers...
