We played Man Utd in the League Cup at The Goldstone and a certain David Beckham made his debut. I wonder how many of us who were there that night could imagine how differently the fortunes of both clubs would be over the next 20 or so years, especially the journey that we have been on in...

Anyone else been following the story of Paul Harvey from Buxted, a former music teacher living with dementia, who became an internet sensation a few weeks ago when he improvised an incredible piano piece after his son, Nick, gave him four random notes to play. It has now ben orchestrated by the...

No, not a thread about whether you prefer crunchy or smooth peanut butter (crunchy is the only answer btw) or whether you take the American line of adding 'jelly' to it. I was making a peanut butter sandwich for my lunch at the office yesterday when a colleague said to me 'oh you're one of...

At the beginning of the month, my wife & I held a Birthday Party for our two boys who turned 2 & 4. In the lead up to the party, my wife undertook all the planning & organising to make sure that everything was in place. As part of this, we decided to hire a balloon modeller. With typical...

What with commuters having to deal with ongoing problems with the trains, now this, seemingly carried out on our patch: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-44411024 WTF is wrong with people? :shrug:

Hi Insider, Is there any update of when the "We're on Our Way" book & DVD are likely to be delivered? Thanks.

At the beginning of the month, I was clocked by a mobile speed camera unit on the A272 in Hampshire travelling at 36mph in a 30mph zone. There is no need to go into any more detail or dispute it - I accept that I was going over the limit. In 28 years of motoring, this is my first offence. I...

My wife has just booked us and another couple in for this 'immersive experience' which advertises itself as 'the Crystal Maze on Crystal Meth' on Sunday. It's at the Black Lion in Black Lion Street. http://www.handmademysteries.com/ Has anyone done it? Is it any good? What can we expect?

Having seen the thread about The Big Bang Theory, I have to say it gets knocked into a cocked hat by Cradle to Grave the Danny Baker comedy biopic. Peter Kay is brilliant as his docker Dad into all sorts of dodgy deals ("right shoes through London, Left through Liverpool") Loved the...

Had this sent to me this afternoon: A pint of Carpenters Smokey Rabbit Kisser doesn't sound bad to me!

Was rummaging through some old DVD's last night and came across the two Early Doors series. Watched a few episodes (and will again tonight). Class comedy. Really can't believe it was first aired in 2003! 'To the Regiment....I wish I was there!'

Mrs Lanky and I are off to New Zealand (via LA) and the Cook Islands at the end of the month for our belated Honeymoon. We fly into Aukland and pick up a Camper Van to travel both North & South Islands over 3 weeks before flying to the Cook Islands for a week to chill. I know there are plenty...

What on earth is going on there then? Sack Sturrock, but then ask him to come back for the Paint Pot Final at Wembley on April 7th as a "privilege"! WTF?! BBC Sport - Paul Sturrock: Southend United part company with manager

Just heard the sad news. Great author. James Herbert dies aged 69 | Books | The Guardian

On the eve of our fixture with our rivals, guess which former Albion & Palace player has walked into my office. (Shouldn't be a long thread, there aren't many who've crossed the divide!) I'll see if I can find out his feelings on tomorrow's match.

Just seen on the BBC website that if Adam ElAbd plays tomorrow it will be his 300th appearance for the club. Well done that man! :clap2:

Programme on BBC now. After last night's El Classico fiasco, some of those players could do with watching a programme about a football great who played the game the right way.

I just wanted to thank you in advance for embracing Care in the Community for tomorrow's trip to Rochdale. Tufty is really looking forward to it and promises to be on his best behaviour - I'm sure he'll be full of excited tales to tell me at our next home game! Sorry that I forgot to bring his...
