    [News] American Airlines flight from Wichita Kansas to Reagan National Airport has crashed into the Potomac River

    Sadly this was a case of 'when' and not 'if'. US near miss incidents have been far too frequent in recent 18 months or so with poor procedures and communications. Unless things change dramatically and quickly there is a good chance of another.

    [Misc] Dementia / Alzheimers' support thread

    I've been through exactly what you are having to endure and how horrible it is for you mentally, emotionally and physically. My blood pressure went through the roof and caused me all sorts of issues with guilt, anxiety and stress which took a long time to resolve. The Alzheimer's Society were...

    [News] D Day 80th Year Anniversary

    I was in Dieppe a couple of weeks ago and saw a pub called Le New Haven - possibly named in recognition of 'ours' and the role in played?

    [Misc] Advice on elderly parent / (possible) dementia / hospital discharge type stuff

    Lots of good advice here Bozza - my input having dealt with 2 relatives for several years: 1. Even if you suspect dementia still try and get LPA's in place. There are other roads you can go down to get some control but LPA's are best. 2. Apply for attendance allowance as soon as you can - this...

    [Travel] Electric bike

    100% worth buying. I'm your age and (wife and I) bought ours 3 years ago and it's one of the best things I've ever purchased. I cycle so much more and am not knackered when I have to go up hills so can cycle much further and enjoy much more (road cycling). With our bike rack we've cycled all...

    [Albion] Going to France. On the plane. WITH YOUR CAR.

    My Uncle was a Bristol Freighter pilot based at Lydd for several years doing these flights. As a small kid I would spend time there in the summer holidays watching these aircraft 'consume' their load of cars and passengers. In later years I worked for BIA whose Dart Heralds operated the Silver...

    [Music] Dark Side of the moon

    [Albion] Anyone else considering cancelling their ST's?

    Just seen the clubs FB season ticket renewal promo video ....almost all the highlights were from away games!! Been lifelong fan and STH since Withdean days but finally gave up after last season and 'pleased' I did - Potterball can be very good but at home it's seldom edge of your seats stuff.

    [Other Sport] Anyone been white water rafting?

    Yes did the same course a few years ago - although they 'teach' you what to do if you get thrown out it doesn't reflect what actually happens if it's at the top of the course. First run was fine but we all came out second time around at the top and I went down 3 sets of rapids ...... not fun...

    [Albion] Double page interview with GP in today's MOS

    Really interesting article about a bloke who is a genuine, authentic person who was significantly affected by the tragic loss of his parents and which ensures he always sees everything around him in that context - life is frail and football is fickle. He may not be the most charismatic manager...
