Can we get a confirmation of this? If it's true I won't bother lashing out 7.99 on that new Robert Harris paperback I saw in the supermarket last night.

Nibble - resisting the temptation for the obvious response of naked abuse even if there is anything in what you say perhaps holding a country of 270 million plus people responsible for the actions of their government is a tad short sighted? I might just as easily say when the UK stops being a...

Three day weekend. The sun is shining (going to be around 90 all weekend). The fridge is full of beer and Florida vs Hawaii is on the box at 12.30. All that's needed for the perfect weekend is for Orient to do the decent thing and roll over and die at Withdean. 3-1 Albion and Florida to win by...

Never stay in the one near Busch Gardens in Tampa. It's a hovel. In fact avoid that whole area. They appear to have built the them park in Tampa's equivalent of Moss Side. How is everything on the Iron Horse by the way Dave? Don't miss those days to be honest!

Thank you all. Some very inspiring and helpful responses there. Comment for Brighton Rock though. You seem a decent enough bloke and I'm not looking to start a pointless round of name calling but I couldn't help noticing your avatar. "Welcome to CPFC - winning is everything". Noble...

Dislike CPFC intensely and always will. Is it possible to be an Albion fan and not to hate them? Having been born and raised in West Sussex though always reserved more contempt for Portsmouth. Can't believe that Orient were seriously put forward as a candidate for rivalry here though. They...

No MLS "franchise" anywhere near here but from what I see from time to time on Fux Saccer Channel the standard is appalling. College football is king down here and even though we have an NFL team (the Jaguars) more people follow the Gators. Funny you say that about Fox because that was...

I've been in denial about this for a while now but finally my son has confronted me with the terrible truth and there is no more dodging it. Deep breath. He wants to "support" Man United. There I've said it. He is nearly 12 by the way. Could it just be a phase? Is it anything I've done? I...

Long may that continue. (Albion aside life is so much better on this side of the pond isn't it?). As I mentioned yesterday there is indeed Albion "there" and Albion "there". My good friend Bart is bringing up his son the right way in Hartford CN and Forest Row is about to lose another long...

Can I just say that logging on to see tonight's result after a miserable 3 days putting up with Tropical Storm Fay made me as happy as a dog with 2 dicks. Shared the score with Connecticut BHA who was equally delighted. Can there be a "proper" team with as many fans state-side as the Albion? Off...

You won't have any problem there. It will be way to the north by then.

What with not living in Brighton and all I rarely cross the path of any celebrity (Brightonian or otherwise) but I did once see Roy Castle at a model village in Dorset. Naturally that was before he died. I'm not a medium or anything like that. Our neighbour goes to the same church as David...

Hadn't really though of it as a "sport" to be honest. I don't think "shootin' critters" really qualifies as a sport here. It's more just something Floridians do. All a bit unsporting if you ask me. As Cadiz Seagull rightly points out it's not as if they exactly present a moving target...

Here is my public service bit for anyone heading to the sunshine state in the next few days what with the first storm of the season threatening (well the first one anywhere near Florida anyway). Looks like being a bit of a non-event so far although the locals are all getting a bit carried...

With Portsmouth crashing to a 4-0 defeat at Chelsea today and Man United next up to visit Fratton Park followed by a testing trip to Everton could 3 defeats on the spin at the start of the season herald an ultimately unsuccessful fight against relegation this season for Meridian's favourites...

Have only "graced" Golden Corral once and it was a truly depressing experience. Can only liken it to a motorway service station. The food (breakfast) was dreadful and it was wall to wall necks. The worst part was you just knew that they were going to down a bargain bucket from KFC for lunch...

First up August will be extremely hot and humid but if you're prepared for that fair enough. You could do worse than take a look at the Embassy Suites Hotel Lake Buena Vista. Where this scores over Disney hotels is with the free breakfast. The rooms are bigger and better too. Factor in a nice...

Anyone got any thoughts on Boston's favourite brew? Unlike most American "beer" this is good stuff. Thoroughly recommend Octoberfest and Black Lager as well as the easier to get hold of Boston Lager. Not sure how easy it is to get hold of at home although I happen to know the Donkey Centre...
