From Brighton and the surrounding area, on Channel 4 now. Repeated at 2100 on Channel 4+1 if you have it. A couple have just been looking at a flat in Fiveways, overlooking the two Hollingdean towers. I think it might be a repeat, but I've only just turned it on. I see it's also partly from...

This might be fixtures, so mods please merge if so (I don't type that fast), but here we go: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-politics-51487171 Row over refusing to sack his advisers apparently. First sign that things aren't going quite as well as the Government would like us to think they are?

Apologies if this is fixtures; it may be on the Brexit thread. Rory Stewart has resigned from the Conservative Party (I know he was one of the 21 rebels, but he was still a party member), and will run to be Mayor of London: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-49931937

My first post for ages, so I thought I'd speculate, as I did on the train home tonight, who the contenders for this year's Sports Personality of the Year would be. I can't remember how many they put on the final list; is it eight? My selection would be: Cricket Ben Stokes, who will win by a...

Now that all the election aftermath has settled, and the speculation about who we might sign and then lose out to Middlesbrough or Burnley hasn't really started, can I ask for some advice from NSCers who know about pest control? The folks are suffering from an infestation of carpet moths. I...

Well, is it any good?

Could be off to Leeds? Surely Watford are a better prospect at present. That can be the only reason I can see, unless there's been a huge fall out there. My apologies if this is fixtures. I've only just turned on SSN and it was up as breaking news.

I'm a London commuter, travelling from Three Bridges to London Victoria. For this I buy a monthly ticket - I don't know how long my current work will last and secondly, I used to buy three-monthlies and found that after a while the magnetic strip was knackered and I'd have to get the ticket...

Not sure if fixtures, but BBC News is reporting that Cortese's future as Chairman of Southampton is in doubt beyond this season (on the rolling BBC News on the TV; I've not checked to see if there is a link). Is he just a CEO-equivalent Chairman, as the fellow at Cardiff is, or is he one of the...

Now I know most of us (and, as per normal NSC rules, apologies if fixtures) don't usually (if ever) go in for Michelin Star dining, but Sussex has a new champion. Stephen Edwards of the Camelia Restaurant at the South Lodge Hotel, between Horsham and Cowfold, has won this year's Professional...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/23876605 Sad news - a fine gentleman and superb rugby player and broadcaster. Sport on Four used to be the highlight of my journey to school on Saturdays (going to Ardingly we had Saturday school).

I took the folks out for a bit of new year sun at the sea. Very good time birdwatching at Widewater and Shoreham, then came back via Newhaven and Southease, accompanied by the very pleasurable news from Ipswich (never seen Brighton seafront so quiet, was expecting traffic jams, but we got...

BBC News - Disabled rights pioneer Lord Morris of Manchester dies Ex Manchester Wythenshawe MP and veteran disabled rights campaigner Alf Morris has died. As some will know on here, I am a One Nation Conservative, but Alf, like his colleague Jack Ashley, was a superb and persistent campaigner...

I am thinking of replacing the curtains in my flat (probably with Venetian Blinds - much easier to clean, and one of the tracks is pulling out of the wall). Shaftesburys, Shutters - Plantation shutters - Window shutters and blinds | Shaftesburys shutters and blinds have a shop down the road...

I haven't seen this anywhere else, so please don't fixture me, but there is an article in today's Evening Standard about how Cantor Fitzgerald, whom Robert worked for, has managed to recover from 9/11. It includes a moving paragraph from the Chairman about Robert: Cantor Fitzgerald... the City...

Oh well, it had to come to my area, didn't it? Debenhams across the road from Clapham Junction has been looted for two hours now apparently, and they are running up Lavender Hill. Thankfully, I'm about three quarters of a mile away, though I'm in Sussex tonight, and a bit concerned about my...

Once again, an NSC member with reason to be grateful to the NHS. I was working away, well taking a lunchtime walk actually, when Dad called me to say that instead of taking Mum for her regular Friday hair appointment he had had to rush her to A and E instead (Mum and Dad were meant to come up...

Apologies if fixtures, but just seen the feature on SSN about Wolves' new North Stand. Buckingham are building it, and gave us a mention. Wonder how many ideas Wolves have copied?

How does it get a safety certificate? The stand is fine, and gave a cracking view, but that concourse! I felt sorry for any of the ladies who wanted the lav at half time, as they had to get past the queue for the one tea bar. There was quite a crush there as I waited for a half time cuppa...

Hello Paul, Do you know when the dedicated stadium website will go live? Thanks, Duncan
