Mine needs changing and some major updates. My solicitor originally drafted it for £80 six years ago. They now want £500 for a new one. I took to wondering. Do I really need a solicitor ? I have the original will, and I know the updates I want. Why not simply copy the old will, make the...

Events can be costly, as some are finding with Oasis. But have you ever looked at a happening and thought 'whatever. I could cut back on cigarettes and alcohol and just roll with it' then purchased a massively expensive ticket ? The most I've ever paid is £120 for a touts ticket to see England...

It's as if with some kind of repentance for it's dalliance with that hussy up the road, cricket returns with more offerings this week at its spiritual home. Sri Lanka, having filled us with one sided worry on the first morning, made a good showing in the last match and could have won had it not...

Oh, joy of joys, oh bless-ed relief. Not only is the football season here but, at the same time, cricket also returns. Whilst Sussex re-commence their battle for honours in the famous old Scarborough ground, across the Pennines England take on Sri Lanka in the true format. They've even moved...

On Saturday I went to meet an old work friend at the Marina. I was aware of the two hour parking rule. I arrived just after midday and was out with a couple of minutes or so to spare just gone 14.00 Today, a notice arrives claiming I entered the car park at 11.08, and hour earlier than I did...

Having a discussion with a work colleague, I realise I have seen County Cricket, Premiership Rugby, and league Football in Northampton. I then also work out that I have done the same in Bath. Very unusual candidates. It can also be done in Leicester. I wondered how many NSCers could top that...

My league ladders have arrived. 1976, retro style

I've spent some time putting thought to it. The criteria being that it has to be players you have seen play. Also consider the balance of the team. My luxury here is that I can bat Sangakkara at three. Not only that, three of my four main bowlers were handy with the bat. This is some team...

A damp squib so far as, despite a splendid first innings showing in the last Test, the Windies capitulated again. A rather good analysis from Cricinfo https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/west-indies-in-england-2024-1385669/england-vs-west-indies-3rd-test-1385693/match-preview Some rather...

One is Johnny Byrne- the photo is credited to him... Among the group is an ex Albion manager and also a former Sussex CCC and England player.

My friend ask me if I'm just as irritated as they are when commentators pronounce footballer's names wrong I said 'defoe'

As mentioned on the General Election thread- it needs a prediction poll. So we have MULTIPLE options here as there are different forecasts. Labour is expected to win- so we only have NOM and Conservative win as other options. You have 5 votes (1 in each section) Happy predicting.

Tomorrow is that much anticipated moment that we greet with much joy and ceremony. No, not England's first game in the Euros, but a celebration of our beautiful county. So wave your flags, put up your stoolball wickets and don't be DRUV. Then sing that song as you march along...

Likely leaving Porto by mutual agreement. Believed that Marseille are showing interest Come on, PBOBE, get on to it (before Wolves sack their manager)

Below is a glossary of teams who have finished in the top ten of the Premier League since Brighton were promoted and how many times they have achieved it: The 'Big 6' feature in every season apart from Chelsea being absent once. From this we conclude, with full evidence, that six positions...

I was all set for work from home this evening. Tottenham v Man City on one screen, Albion on the radio. I looked it up last night and the page said 'tomorrow'. Unfortunately, I looked it up just past midnight... No loss, just a game to listen to tomorrow night. But have any folk on here gone...

I only subscribe for the sweet messages. I'm looking forward to next year's Valentines

Yes, your eyes aren't deceiving you. I'll start the thread. It's hard enough getting a hiding from a team as good as this, but tonight's officiating really hasn't helped. Can't defend this one.
