As an Albion fan, this kind of blows my mind. All my 'heroes' have been older-ish than me. But him? I was being a dick in 6th form college at 18. What were you doing?

I stumbled across Riz Ahmed's short a few months ago ) last year found this and tonight fell into a Paddy Considine rabbit hole, and have come back clutching this beauty his first short film which eventually morphed into Tyrannosaur. All fantastic. For me, like documentaries on obscure...

Has anyone watched this? I popped it on this evening, being at a bit of a loose end, and not being that bothered given that we all know 'he was very good and had a stupid haircut and then got fat'. I didn't know half of what I didn't know, or something. He comes across as such a nice man, the...

Bit of a punt this one, but it might yield some diverting moments. Goldstone Ground. The 80s. Man U. But none of that matters. 1575744093522898944 (This account is well worth a trawl through if you use Twitter)

This must have been asked a billion times here but a cursory search of threads, and the BIC website still leaves me wanting. I'm coming down to see Prof Cox blow my mind on Monday evening; from Ashington so has to be by car. Does anyone have itk car parking knowledge they'd care to share? I'm...

On Quickly Kevin recently (from last year, I've got a lot on my plate), they mentioned that you know when you've watched a good 30 min footie documentary that you spend the next 2 hours researching what you've just seen. Which got me thinking. I watch a lot of acting, and if something's good...

A quickie for those whose memories are sharper than mine - Under-the-wall free kicks. A seemingly modern-ish phenomena, but didn't we score one or more of those in the Championship, or maybe even before, under Gus? I'm pretty sure we did but only have a weird maybe-made up memory of it, one...

I can't find a thread about where we (NSC) think we (seaguulllls) will end up come May. And having just read this line in The Guardian: "The Battle for Fourth Place is a routinely depressing phrase, but it looks an open battle, with West Ham, Arsenal, Manchester United, Wolves, Brighton, Spurs...

I've been thinking how great film scenes, memorable scenes from the past, get to being great and memorable. How do directors do it? There are the famous stories of Ken Loach's improvising methods, actors secretly being told to do something unexpected to the other actor (Steve Martin licking...

Really interesting article this, in The Independent, about the getting-hotter topic of football finance. And a contribution from the venerable El Presidente. Amongst all the grim facts and figures, a couple of sentences in particular stuck out for me: "The 1982 English First Division TV deal...

Hopefully I win a prize. What else are they not/going to talk about? Unlikely "A result Brighton's recent performances have deserved/threatened" "For a centre back who provides assists like that [again], surely Lewis Dunk deserves another England call-up?" Inevitable A backdrop of Aaron...

**Duplicate Thread** My mistake :(

Listening to "More or Less" just now, they presented the little-known (apparently) fact that any percentage of any amount is the same the other way around, ie. 4% of 75 is the same as 75% of 4 = 3. Which I think is very cool. Then, there's the 9x table on your fingers: with your hands out in...

... or derivative thereof? There's Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, for your traditional tastes, Garth Brooks for those with a leaning toward country/rock (I think), and Juice Newton for this country/pop belter. What else tickles your whiskey-heartache fancies? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0DK-0fIKCw

There was a thread on here ages ago, where someone had pointed out that during an episode of [insert 80s American TV show], a Brighton game was on in the background of one scene. For the life of me I can't remember what it was. And it's driving me potty. Anyone?

You know the sidebar/end of video splashscreen? It's full of video recommendations based on your watching history, right? Bearing in mind I'm the only user of my computer, and that a few years ago I cleared and deactivated pretty much every tracking thing I could find on Google which includes...

Of limited interest perhaps but I appear to have stumbled across an entertainment industry I was barely aware of, that of 3min+ American sketch comedy which is really good, and not on TV, as evidenced by these chaps http://www.britanick.com/videos/?id=T0Wc8RQNtWU The comedians either have a...

Saw this on Twitter this evening, from Opta's Nick Harris, and got me thinking - https://twitter.com/sportingintel/status/1088912216613634048 (I still can't embed tweets) What "Sliding Doors" moments have we arguably had? Robbie Reinelt undoubtedly; Stuart Storer undoubtedly. One could argue...
