A man was paddling in his kayak in a river in northern Canada near the Arctic circle. It was freezing cold and he was worried that, despite his warm clothes, he'd die of exposure. He stopped paddling, and rummaged around in his equipment until he found his small portable gas stove. He lit it and...

Guess I'm really addressing this to Bozza and/or a mod: A thread has popped up (or something pretending to be a thread) saying 'Ten of the best hotels for yoga" It says it's 'Sponsored'. Is this a genuine ad or has NSC been hacked? I haven't clicked on it. Apologies if this has all been...

Wanna know where all those plastic Mancs (and plastic Seagulls) live? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/08/17/every-premier-league-clubs-fans-mapped-local-teams-support/

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/40497672 According to that BBC article 26% of Scots will be supporting the All Blacks on Saturday. (It's not the headline, it's about two-thirds of the way down when it mentions a poll on a website). Now it doesn't bother me in the slightest when due to...

A few days ago I turned 60. Obviously now my slow slide towards decrepitude and death will accelerate considerably, and I was rather hoping to get some freebies to take my mind off it. With that in mind I thought I'd try and get a free bus pass, and I discovered the following iniquitous...

Enough arguing fellow Brighton fans. The REAL big event of this month is on Wednesday! Who do you want first off? I quite fancy Arsenal away. (Meant to say 'THE fixtures are out' of course. Bluddy fat fingers.)

Ok, this will really tax even NSC. Last night we went to The Ginger Fox, which is a restaurant on the corner of the A281 and B2117, near Singing Hills golf club. Now many many years ago, back in the 1960s it used to be a petrol station. It was quite quaint as it had a thatched roof. Anyone...

Not only are things going well on the pitch they seem to be going well off it as well. We have, quite rightly IMO, always been quick to start threads slagging off the catering so I think it's only fair that I should redress the balance. I've been in ESU more than anywhere else recently and the...

My 'printed at home' ticket for Reading says it kicks of at 19:45 on Friday 24th Feb. However I've seen several references to the fact that it's now on Saturday. Is that right? And if so what time is kick-off? There are four of us going as a family treat, so if the date is Saturday I'll need...

"Schwarzenegger, Mozart, Beethoven, the Von Trapps... your boys took one hell of a beating Fantastic Norwegian-style commentary for the winning Icelanding goal...

After a heartbreaking week I must admit yesterday cheered me up no end. The cricket was great, and then turning over to see all those glum Palace faces - well you'd have to have a heart of stone not to laugh. And the fact that the winner was scored by Albion legend (well he is now) Jesse...

I've always wanted to start one of these threads ... I'm currently living and working in Cardiff (living in Butetown working in Pentwyn) and I wondered if there were any other seagulls exiled here in the valleys. If so - will you be watching the game in a Cardiff pub? And if so - which one?

Usually after we've lost a few games and people are letting off a bit of steam somebody will start a thread along the lines of "Let's have a reality check here!" The poster will then list everything that we already know, i.e. that we're playing in our own lovely stadium instead of at a rented...

Can't see any thread on this CRUCIAL match... England need 101 to win in 25 overs (rain-affected match). Currently 76/0 off 12 Panic over everybody, we're going to win!

Town historians that is, not the football team. A work colleague, who didn't think he had any connection with Sussex, is doing his family tree and found out that in the 1930s his gran lived at number 4 Ditchling Road. Given that buildings have come and gone since that time (to say nothing of...

Knowing NSC's great capacity to solve all problems I thought I'd put this out there... We have an 11 year old boiler an Alpha CB28. It won't ignite and after having several visits to try and fix it the engineer has said it's probably kaput. (He's replaced the air pressure switch to no avail so...

I'd seen snatches of games a few times over the years, but Sky seem to be showing it as a regular thing at the moment. What a fantastic sport. Can't quite get into Hurling, but the football is brilliant.

There's a rumour, which I've just started, that David Moyes will be our next manager. If you've opened or even just previewed this thread then you've heard it too. So it's not just me then. Interesting.

Ok, I HAVE tried the official site, honestly, but I can't find anything to do with the bars or restaurants. (The amexstadium link in 'commercial' gives an 'access forbidden' message) So what with NSC being FAR more informative and helpful I thought I'd pose the question here: Is Dick's Bar open...

I notice that as the price of match tickets is reasonable the club are not running the subsidised transport scheme. (A trial for scrapping it permanently perhaps?) Will you be able to pay cash for a bus ride at the Park 'n' Ride sites? Apologies if this has already been asked (and answered)...
