    [Politics] A day that will live in infamy

    I was a student at Portsmouth Poly then and my campus buildings were very close to the docks. I recall spending what seemed like days but perhaps was only hours being deafened by the sound of Sea Harriers being flown in to land on the aircraft carriers. Then watching the QE2 sail out onto the...

    [Politics] Donald Trump, US President

    A year ago this week we were in Cambodia, a country poor even by SE Asia standards. Trump has levied tariffs of 49% on them. I doubt there is a single thing the Cambodian people can do to reverse any trade deficit so it is a conscious decision to make poor people poorer in pursuit of the MAGA...

    [Football] The Non-League Football Thread- 2024/25 Edition

    Nice local derby against B Hill if they don't go up in the playoffs. Excellent and good for Sussex football.

    [Football] The Non-League Football Thread- 2024/25 Edition

    What league are they promoted to and do they have all the required facilities etc? Fantastic achievement for all involved.

    [Football] The Non-League Football Thread- 2024/25 Edition

    Burgess Hill were absolutely shocking at home to Phoenix Sports yesterday. 0-1 down with the final whistle approaching, a bitter wind playing havoc with my post chemo session body temp and the thought of settling down on the sofa to watch the guaranteed thrill-fest at The Amex had me on the way...

    [Politics] Donald Trump, US President

    Interesting chat on the Guardian Football Weekly yesterday (which btw included an utterly ill informed and one sided view of our cup tie) about how Trump and his lunatics are going to cope with Iran and others on their red list qualifying for the WC - will staff and even players be denied entry...

    [Albion] Supporter Services

    Just to add to this old thread - spoke to Imad at Supporter Services this morning to see what options I had to move my seat between now and the end of the season. Chemo starts tomorrow and I've been told I can attend matches if I feel up to it but have to minimise risk of picking up a bug as my...

    [Politics] Brexit - 9 years on, time for a poll ?

    How utterly ridiculous. Leaving one of the worlds largest free markets, replacing frictionless trade with vast amounts of red tape, isolating ourselves in an increasingly unstable world was a crass decision with no chance of ever benefiting this country. Sovereignty is an illusion, a rallying...

    [Food] Restaurant 2025

    Went to Embers on Wednesday. Bit of a mixed bag we thought. Smoked lamb, tataki, pork skewers all very good. Bonfire potato also very tasty but a modest portion. Liver - a favourite of mine and I cook it better. Savoy cabbage we sent back as too salty to eat.

    [Misc] A Journey Through Cancer

    Wow, what a story. Thanks for sharing. There is some crossover with my own health history and upcoming cancer treatment but that's for another day. The more we talk about this stuff the better. I'm going to reread your post later today. Every best wish for your recovery.

    [Technology] WiFi range extender

    On my Deco system the first one has to be plugged into the router so is quite close. As this non techie understands it the mesh system takes over from your router in distributing WiFi around your property.

    [Football] The Non-League Football Thread- 2024/25 Edition

    Burgess Hill got back to winning ways with a 5-0 thumping of Hythe Town yesterday. Could have been a lot more if it wasn't for some fine saves by their keeper and some wasteful finishing by Hill. Third place looks nailed on, can they catch Sittingbourne who lost unexpectedly yesterday. And it...

    [Albion] 93% season ticket renewal rate

    Four years ago I didn't renew after having a pair of tickets since The Amex opened. A combo of reasons - travel, other demands on time and a bit of a health issue. I grabbed a ticket for this season and have renewed for next. I missed it, despite the challenges of travel etc. I'm a bit of a...

    [Finance] Southern Water over 50% increase in bills

    They wanted to in 2024 and managed to pay out £2.3bn before 2017.

    [Albion] Ferring to The Bridge

    Yes, all good thanks. Google maps plus my sense of direction (for once!) got me through the side roads and popped out the right side of Lyons Farm without any fuss. One hour from Ferring Country Centre to the Bridge exactly as forecast.

    [Albion] Japanese fan visits

    There was a Japanese family in the WSU today - Mum with young baby, Dad, two kids in Albion kit. Their seats were split across three rows but a great effort by those around them moving seats had them sitting together ready for kick off.
