Why do we have to go through this every year ? I thought the whole point about being English was that we didn't NEED to go in for silly displays of exaggerated patriotic fervour.

Never really been into guitar heroics, but Mick Ronson's solo in Moonage Daydream is just sensational.....not just the cosmic craziness of the playing itself, but all the theatricality as well. (can someone tell me how to post YouTube clips please ?)

Many thanks to everyone who has taken the time and trouble to reply - much appreciated. The message coming through loud and clear is to be positive, get involved with feel-good, constructive activities, and try to avoid all contact with the past. Seems like sound advice. Cheers.

One of the things I really like about NSC is the way that people discuss all sorts of non-football matters in a really supportive way, so I'm wondering who out there can give me a bit of advice. Briefly, my story : was married for over 20 years, until I discovered that my wife had been...

i guess many of you won't know the french movie, "monsieur n" by antione de caunes, all about napoleon on st helena. the opening scenes are deeply, tragically moving, especially the agnus dei dunno how to embed movie clips here, anyone help ?

I remember a great band, mid-70's, called Tonge. Anyone else remember them ? They had some great songs, but I have a feeling they went a bit punk, changed their name to the DP's, or something like that.

When people say "get out there" (which I think is good advice, btw) where is "there" ? Kinda difficult for a middle aged bloke to get out there by himself, it doesn't feel right...

Split up from my first love when I was 18, she broke my heart and I never really forgot her....25 years later, we meet again, and I fall for her again, big-time. How foolish and gullible we men can be ! Because 3 years down the line, she goes and does EXACTLY the same as before, cheats and...

No, because it's a pus-filled bubble that's about to burst.

My dad, who would now be 89, once told me that his dad (my grandad, was born around 1880) once met a man who had fought at the Battle Of Waterloo ! Amazing when you think about it.

I saw The Small Fakers last year in Worthing - great show, thoroughly enjoyed it. Can also recommend T Rextasy and Ultimate Bowie - for anyone that remembers the excitement and spectacle of the Ziggy era, this show is just great !

Was anyone at the away match at Bournemouth in 1972 ? The scenes in the park afterwards reminded me of the film Waterloo.

Crowds and revenues were low and getting lower, but the main problem was that it became a bit embarrassing to admit that you liked football and went to matches. People looked at you as if you were a bit weird. I actually gave up going to football for a year or two following the multiple...

So Wrexham didn't bring a single balloon. Didn't do them much good, did it ?

You forgot to mention that it was freezing cold and wet when you went to Rochdale, that they had run out of pies before you got there, and the coach broke down on the way back.

The FA Cup was traditionally always a bit more flamboyant than your usual bread and butter games, and gave a good excuse for a bit of extra colour. Sort of Bank Holiday atmosphere. Remember those tin-foil replica FA Cup trophies, or the elaborate top hats that people used to make specially for...

Thought the meeting between Amal and her dad was very moving.

Now if this were about lower-league players who are universally liked, why, there's no better example than Steve Fletcher of AFCB !

Grammar is a bit like the Highway Code : it's quite possible to drive without knowing any of the rules of the road, but you are quite likely to confuse the hell out of other drivers, thus leading to plenty of misunderstandings, minor collisions and the occasional major crash.

Well played Brighton - brilliant result !! Can we have Cook back now please ?:clap2::clap2:
