Anyone else enjoy this Danny Robins BBC show? I find it great fun - harmless hokum and Robins is a very likeable host. Each show he interviews people who claim to have experienced paranormal phenomena, poltergeists, shadow men, and so on and “investigates” them alongside a skeptic and a...

This is my late father Bill. He spent his whole life teaching the same class, in the same classroom, in the same key stage group at Hertford Junior school. This was a primary school in Brighton. He did the same job for over 40 years - nearly 47 in fact - and was proud of the education he...

So I’m thinking why not blend two of many people’s very favourite aspects of NSC, with a thread full of political/protest songs. Edit: Context is quite helpful so for this one: I’ll kick things off with this banger, from former Barenaked Ladies front man Steven Page. The song appears to be...

I know a lot here won’t think it’s my plaice to share this, but I’m just posting for the halibut…

Seeing a couple of Police Squad! references reminds me - the new Naked Gun movie is out this summer. And I’m genuinely excited and hopeful for it, too. Although ZAZ aren’t involved, and Seth MacFarlane has done the story treatment, it has one huge thing going for it: the star. Liam Neeson is...

My grandfather has the heart of a lion and a lifetime ban at the zoo.

Has to be this for me: Absolutely incredible scenes, one of the biggest upsets in sporting history. It was massive at the time and is still widely known in Japan as the “Miracle in Brighton”. Try not to get goosebumps watching that!

Has anyone had a pair of these? Thinking of getting a pair for commute/loud theatre/gigs (don’t think I’ll need them at the Amex :lol: ) Any good? Looking at the Loop Experience 2 set for £30, but they seem pricey for what are basically a couple of small pieces of rubber and plastic. Are they...

I highly recommend one of these, especially with the January we’ve had of seemingly unending dark and gloomy days. I’ve used one for years and find it provides real relief for Seasonal Affective Disorder - 30 minutes in the morning while reading the news and having a coffee and I’m ready to...

Hi, if anyone here uses the Line instant messaging app, could they please quickly check if it’s working for them? I did an update this morning, and now can’t send or receive messages on iOS (phone is up to date). Tried uninstalling and reinstalling and now can’t login either. Many thanks!

Do these still happen? I read that a huge number of work Christmas parties in recent years have been completely dry, so the idea of a “leisure business lunch” (other euphemisms are available - share yours!) must have gone the way of indoor smoking. Probably for the best… an ex-boss when I used...

Where’s me washboard?!

This post is copied from an older thread, in response to someone saying they expected us to be dominating games after our £200m “massive” spend. I thought I’d repost it here because I just keep seeing this come back again and again. The spend was to bring the squad back up to the current...

Was hospitalised with what turned out to be acute pericarditis on Wednesday, following a bout of COVID. Prescribed 3 months of colchicine twice daily and ibuprofen four times a day. Just wanted once again to praise our brilliant NHS workers. I called 111 for advice Wednesday morning with...

Seems he’s given up a Ipswich as well. Overweight (again) and on his way out in January from what I’ve read. Thoughts

Woke up this morning feeling like absolute shite - did a test and sure enough, COVID again. My third time despite being triple jabbed. Currently having to isolate from my vulnerable elderly Mum who I’m caring for. How many times have you had it? Three other mates (ones I haven’t seen in person...

It is entirely unjust that the rather naff Gladiator 2 has a thread and Wicked hasn’t… 5* from me, superb movie with excellent performances but Ariana Grande steals the show. Biggest non-Disney musical box office opening ever. 8.2 IMDB, 90% Rotten Tomatoes. Loved by audiences and critics...

For *some reason* this Swedish third division match a few weeks ago is under the spotlight as another potential case of alleged match fixing in Scandinavian football. The action is narrated here by a former American professional goalkeeper who played for top tier Finnish team, who were fined for...

This is the first time in about a year I’ve made an assessment of a game and a second half prediction come pretty much exactly true. COME ON THE ALBION. GET IN THERE

I know I posted about this before, but I can’t find the thread. Anyway, I know some people hate old threads being bounced, so here goes. I have a skin issue which is worrying me a bit, so I called my GP in the designated time slot to make an appointment. I was triaged by the receptionist, and...
