    Losing Weight

    The trouble is that it's in short supply because all those selfish diabetics use it all up to treat their diabetes. Some people, eh!

    Losing Weight

    I know nothing about keto (apart from the character in the Pink Panther films), but the diet you describe sounds a bit like Slimming World, which works for some people. The key point appears to be don't get to a stage where you are so hungry that you reach for the chocolate bar. But fill your...

    [Help] Car PCP agreement help!

    Caveat Emptor! (in this case it's the garage, unusually). I am not qualified etc but my stance is that (in addition to all the above advice you've been given) their representative had adequate opportunity to inspect the car before leaving you with the new one. I really don't see how they can...

    [Brighton] Seagulls win national award

    As a relative newcomer here, I love this 'Board' (no pun intended - well, maybe it was!). At what have been difficult times for me recently, it often gives me a :) and sometimes even a :lol:

    [Albion] Gross goal offside?

    Good point! I don't know if that's a problem in hockey - I guess it isn't... Anyone know???

    [Albion] Gross goal offside?

    Why not scrap the offside rule, like some other sports have done (notably hockey). ... at least trial it and see how it plays out.

    [Humour] Harmless work pranks

    But I did fall for this one... As an apprentice, walked into mess room in the middle of a conversation about a one-man band. Colleague says he heard an interview on the radio with someone who was a one-man band, but he couldn't understand how one man could play all those instruments. So of...

    [Humour] Harmless work pranks

    Apocryphal: "Can you go to the stores and get a bubble for my spirit level please" In my first Saturday job at a small builders' merchant (visualise the 4 candles sketch) - I thought I was being pranked when a colleague asked me to get him a length of 'birdmouth'. I told him I wasn't falling...

    [Football] Worthing fc

    Absolutely. This follows two very tight semi-finals, remember. Worthing 89th minute winner. Braintree were 2-0 up against Chelmsford City until the 90th minute, when Chelmsford scored at 90 and 92 minutes. Hence ET.

    [Albion] Albion Vs Villa - player ratings

    This is purely my opinion..... Webster - good in general, but WAY too many misplaced passes (they'd be called unforced errors in tennis). Adingra - Great energy and making chances, but surely an AFCON winner should be able to strike the ball reasonably hard when shooting? Having said that, a...

    [Albion] Anyone actually going on Sunday?

    I'm a very occasional visitor from Essex, but you've asked "who's going?" so I'll tell you! Yes, I'll be there with my teenage son, who will hopefully be doing some GSCE revision on the drive down rather than looking for Pokemons en-route). TBH I'm hoping that Villa will be resting some of...

    [Music] Bands that could double up as Tradespeople.

    I can't think of any myself.... but this thread has REALLY cheered me up (which I need at the moment). Thank you all. :)

    [Misc] Big reduction in property price

    By all means alert you surveyor to anything you specifically want him/her to cover. But I shouldn't worry too much - surveyors love a damp-meter! He/she SHOULD also advise you of the consequences of what they find, but in my experience some do, some don't. If they don't, then ask them about...

    [Misc] Big reduction in property price

    Like you I get surprised that sellers don't reduce asking price a little at a time. But could be that they have found property that they desperately don't want to lose and therefore desperate to sell quickly. Reducing asking price to 300 rather than 325 brings in a whole new bunch of buyers...

    [Football] Friendliest fans

    I notice that all honourable mentions are for northern towns! Even Arsenal are NORTH London. Although 'northern' can be a relative term. When I was a young man I worked in Leeds and there was this lad from Leicestershire - From his accent I thought he was a Yorkshire local but the locals all...

    [Football] What are the best law changes in the game’s history?

    Best rule change - scrapping the offside rule. It was implemented n 1998 after a successful two year trial ..... sadly only in field hockey! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offside_(field_hockey)#Offside_abolished But I hope to see it happen in football. If you've ever watched Gaelic football...
