OK, so with a sunny window this afternoon I decided to give the lawn its first cut of the year. I always begin by strimming the borders first (I have wooden edging), before getting the mower out to finish the job. Anyway, my Bosch strimmer was being a little BITCH. Every time I started, I'd get...

Forboding plumes of thick black smoke rising up behind the North during the second half. I was idly wondering if a train had caught fire at the station. Turned out it was a car on fire on the eastbound carriageway. Hopefully everyone was ok, but god help anyone who missed the first tranch of...

This years Churchill Square "Christmas tree"

Driving up in the morning (THIS morning, Friday) to a city centre hotel. The plan for Friday evening, following a few beers and a lunch, is a night out at the DOG track (6 and 2 reverse). Matchday I'll be swerving Hooters, as its ridiculously rammed. But I'll be on the scout for a pub near to...

Several children horrifically stabbed in Dublin outside their school, by an Irish citizen (who has been apprehended, not terror-related) The result - a mob, a bunch of tooled-up thugs, trashing Dublin city centre, torching police cars, fighting with riot police, and looting stores. In other...

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/oct/17/european-football-ground-spotting-quiz-name-the-stadium Just given this a whirl, and managed a quite respectable 13/15 which I was rather PLEASED with. Admittedly I had a couple of moderately lucky "educated guesses" in amongst it. But then what...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-66846772 The discovery of ancient wooden logs in the banks of a river in Zambia has changed archaeologists' understanding of ancient human life. Researchers found evidence the wood had been used to build a structure almost half a million years...

A brief little chat in the Cricketers during my lunch "hour" today (WFH) when I clocked Charlie on his own. I asked if he was going to the game tomorrow, which he isn't, but said he will def be watching it. I'd completely forgotten that he'd been at AEK with Gus a few years back. He reckons that...

So whats the deal ? I'm a total tattoo virgin, but as I will most likely die within the 15-20 years at best, I thought I might get one before I shuffle off. All I want is that little Albion seagull on my upper-right arm. I don't want the "Brighton & Hove Albion FC" circle round the outer edge...

I paid £122 for a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarer style Mr Burbank sunglasses at Gatwick last week on the way to my holiday destination. I felt mildly MUGGED OFF, but compared with the prices at Sunglasses Hut in town, these to my slightly troubled mind seemed half decent value, being as the duty free...

Currently closed around Hickstead due to a broken down horsebox, they are having to offload the horses safely. Sounds worth avoiding. You have not been charged for this information.

Just announced he has sadly died, aged 49. Unreal.

Imagine supporting a football club, and then actually producing a flag that celebrates owners who come from a regime that imprisons homosexuals, represses women to being 2nd class citizens, carries out mass executions and medieval stonings, bombs the f*ck out of Yemen, and carves up journalists...

I'm going to the Isle of Wight this weekend with the doris and my little grandson. I'm assuming our posh static caravan will have wi-fi (which no doubt I will have to pay for). That being the case, being as I intend to be in front of our game on Sunday - will the Sky Go account on my laptop...

Making light work of it, 2-0 already. Sadly looks like they can probably play the ressies next Thursday.

I've always quite liked their sports coverage 😁

Anyone know the SASTA situation from Brighton Station today ? Are they running a normal matchday "service" ?
