Perhaps some may question the wisdom of the tour after that tournament, but I'm sure a few folks will have booked a pre-Christmas jolly. Probably just as well given how poorly attended matches are over there now. It's a shame to see the Windies in the place they are now. My mind immediately...

In a world where we seem to discuss trivial things such as war, famine, disease and football, it is wonderful to see important items returning to the news front pages. Residents on a private road in Twyford finally triumph in their exhausting campaign for justice as the apostrophe returns to...

At 2.15 this morning my intercom went. The video showed two police officers standing there. I knew immediately why. There is a flat along the corridor where a very angry man often kicks the shit out of his girlfriend. They had been called to a domestic. Or to put it more accurately, him behaving...

Makes me weep. Some, perhaps a lot, are ex-services too. Most are harmless. One chap pitched up near the bus stop across from me. It was very messy, but I didn't see him as a threat. I just saw myself wondering what happened and how difficult his life must be...

A boring Saturday evening tipple thread by a teetotaler… Memories v Facts On Easter Monday 1976 I stood on Hassocks station, aged 7, and heard that Albion were trailing 2-0 against Millwall. I distinctly remember it. I remember asking my Mum what trailing meant and she explained. It is a very...

Obviously a posh way of saying tummy bug. Warning contains references to poo and things Anyway, I rarely gets these and not at the current level this one is at. Not so much pain in the stomach as a knot. At first I was sick but now it's the runs. I guess if you've read this far you're not...

Well, being a bit of a night owl I find myself having a chat with a fellow NSCer who is on an overnight coach to Manchester for tomorrow's match. Now I love buses and coaches. And there is little more exciting that the new trackers that have appeared in recent years. Oh the joys of watching the...

Oh wise of NSC, I want to give my dinky toy of an Aygo a good wash and vacuum. Is there any do it yourselves in the Brighton area thou canst recommend ?

Anyone ? Only there may be a few in France :lolol:

Tomorrow sees holders England against New Zealand in the opening match of the 2023 edition. Incredible to think it is four years since THAT match. Cricinfo is full of detail as usual https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/icc-cricket-world-cup-2023-24-1367856 As for potential winners, India may...

Number 1.. Photoshopped players in other team's shirts.. GGrrrrrrrrr

The first ball of the series was bowled on June 16th. Since then the NSC Ashes Test threads have produced 4076 comments at an average of 1019.00 and 111k views at an average of 27.75k. The highest scores inevitably coming from THAT Test at Lords. Unfortunately, I am unable to produce the...

Of course, feel free to continue the wailing and gnashing of teeth on the 2nd Test thread, but they are coming thick and fast. July 6th is a significant day in Ashes history. Especially for me. In 1981, whilst off school with sinusitis, I settled in the front room that warm sunny day. I had...

I thought to start the new season thread as there is talk of pre-season fixtures already. Has the last season actually finished ? A full list of the 2023/24 Vanarama National League key dates are as follows: • Fixture Release Day – Wednesday 5 July 2023, 1pm • Opening Day – Saturday 5 August...

It all gets a little intense from here. There are only four days between this and Leeds. Over 800 replies to the last thread, much enjoyment of the cricket in general, much grumbling about personnel and approach at key moments. So it all starts again Wednesday. Time to get pre-match thoughts...
