    [News] We want our Marbles back, we want our Marbles back...

    Give them back. make plaster copies to keep in British Museum. Everyone happy. With everything going on in the world this is a small good thing to do. I don't think it will show Starmer as being weak. I know it will lead to the Indians wanting the crown jewels back etc etc but you have to...

    [Misc] What's your greatest personal sporting achievement or memory as a participant?

    I used to be the fastest runner and was very pleased that I never got caught in kiss chase. I used to sprint off and thought I was great while Jamie was a loser and was always caught by all the girls and got kissed repeatedly. I now realise that the 10 year old me was a twat and Jamie was a player.

    [TV] The Day of the Jackal Sky Atlantic

    I'm going to be a right misery here but I've gone off it. I wanted to love it and enjoyed the idea of cheering for the baddie. I thought it was filmed very well and was exciting as the net was drawn in. He was a perfect killing machine able to go anywhere and get to anyone. But then for me he...

    [Football] Next MOTD Host

    Itll be a rolling presenter like Have I Got News For You. that way they can try different ideas, blood in new presenters, have a comic one week, Pop star the next etc etc. Imagine the scenes as Noel Gallagher is sarcastic to everyone, or Jack Dee is sarcastic to everyone or Jo Brand is.......

    [Other Sport] Fertility rates fall to record low

    I am fascinated by this subject generally and cant believe we are worried about world population when it is still growing exponentially. I suppose "we" are more worried about races, religions and colour changing as certain populations plummet while others are still growing. but there are too...

    [Misc] Odd habits ?

    The car has digital temperatures for driver and passenger. These HAVE to be the same and an even number. what sicko wants the temperature to be 19.5 degrees anyway?? I sometimes try to get home in 24 breathes. holding my breath for as long as possible before I pass out - I know this cant be...

    [TV] Ludwig (BBC iPlayer)

    Ludwig was odd in that the cases were obvious and poorly written - not in same league as creek or paradise etc but the underlying puzzle as to where the brother went is what kept me watching. Ultimately set up for a second series which I will look forward to. wife hated it.

I am not a high earner and never will be but I have worked hard and am now mortgage free on a house in Portslade worth about £550,000. I go on holiday every other year max and drive a 12 year old car. I don't have a...

    [Other Sport] **Philip Schofield - Castaway, Official Thread**

    I'm amazed that people like Schofield have such longevity anyway. Surely every year another batch of talented youngsters burst out from their various colleges etc who are so much more talented, cheaper, younger and prettier. Almost anyone is more talented than Stephen Mulhern for example.

    [Music] The Live Music thread

    Saw The The at the Ally Pally on Saturday. very good. played new album from start to finish for the first half - better than the album as there was no annoying female backing singer. The second half was a number of earlier hits which got the crowd dancing and singing. Finished with Uncertain...

    Shirley there's there dream right there. Simple pleasures, time to yourself. that's what I want. I cancelled my Private Eye subscription recently as I just don't have time to read it. I don't have massive retirement plans - just not doing the daily grind. I do worry though that the buzzard...

    [Music] The The

    Cant get into the new album. Listened 3-4 times on repeat as know their show is in two halves with the first being this new album in full. Prefer it if he played Dusk in full. Hope the second half is all the bangers.

    [News] Space walk

    So a Billionaire has gone up in Musk's X rocket for the first unofficial space walk and the highest anyone has gone since the 1970s While we can moan about the utter waste of money we can at least marvel at the video showing a round earth. Does this finally put the flat earthers to bed? They...

    [Brighton] Is Brighton & Hove as a city getting better, or getting worse?

    Lived here since 16 - now 51 so seen some changes. when you are young everything is exciting and going out is wonderful, you are learning and exploring and everything is great. when you are old(er) you look at things very differently and concentrate on prices, graffiti and reminisce about being...

    [Misc] Retirement

    I amalgamated my pensions into one work place pension but the pot is only £92k so not enough to start taking out lump sums etc. my pension has always been at the lowest while I have put efforts into overpaying the mortgage instead. I was already thinking of increasing my contributions or...

    I am slightly closer to retiring. Sold my rental flat and the money from that has cleared my mortgage. Only 51 so very pleased with that. Trouble is still need an income as pension doesnt kick in for many years. wife earns (currently more than me!) so we could drop to her salary but it would...
