When I was kid I supported Aston Villa for a while. This was because, for some reason, my brother bought me an Aston Villa belt back from a school trip and I was Aston Villa in the St Luke’s School Subbuteo League. I also followed the Albion. After Aston Villa won the league in 1981 I went off...

Lots of delusion, lots of praise for the Albion, but comment of the day for me goes to- 'Eriksen kept Brentford up, but he's got his work cut out here' :lolol::lolol::lolol:

A good effort to get it trending has started :lolol:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/62194385 Great player. Only 41. Can't read this news without thinking there is a connection. Dementia is the cruelest illness of all. Really sad.

It's 24th March 1923. Brighton have just beaten Bristol Rovers 2-1 at the Goldstone (I wonder if we have still played them more than any other team) and the UK is in interesting times. The original photo from the other thread is below: So in this thread we re-create the NSC of the time, as...

According to the BBC, we might just be in here...

So one ends, another one starts. Fixtures may not be out until July for our leagues, but the friendlies are coming in already. Whitehawk have the odd juicy local ones... Worthing and Newhaven. Might see some NSCers there.

This could be a thread of honour to the great BG, but technology isn't always my thing either. I have Virgin Media now, and a good deal too. But I'm having problems turning the television off and on. Here's the scenario... If the television and Virgin box is tuned off at the switch, and the...

Accuse the BBC of bias, inaccuracy and error. But we can all agree they were right on this one... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99X00TKFQiE

Albion's best ever season was 52 points and 13th. Forty years ago. Adjusted to division size and games played, we need 48 points and 11th place. All to play for. Can they do it ?

Whenever I am in a conundrum I always seem to turn to NSC these days. Anyway, the Jackanory bit... Needed an urgent appointment and got one at an NHS clinic Saturday. The young dentist did a holding job and told me to see my dentist and said an extraction or a root canal may be needed. My...

So, I've got a different car now and I realise I need to change me permit. I go online and go through 'Change of vehicle'. It tells me to cut my old permit up into four pieces and post the picture. I do so. It then tells me it wants various proofs of address and the V5 document. I only have...

In the league: Played 6 Won 3 Drawn 3 The earliest goal in that group came in the 89th minute. EDIT: So I don't get sat on beyond what is bearable. APART from Arsenal.

I need a new car. Well, I don't need it, because I only drive about 4,000 miles a year. But I like to have one. Ideally, it would be a very economical car with low or no tax and plenty of MPG. One that would last for many years due to a lack of heavy use. A used car is preferred. Not one with...

I'm just about to go to A & E, on my doctor's advice, to get a large and painful abscess on my shoulder dealt with. I will be there at about 07.45. The competition is to guess at what time I will be seen. Answers below. Witty answers will be appreciated too. This could be a long day. Being a...

I've finally had enough of my old little C3. I don't actually drive it much. About 4,000 miles a year. But, despite only 63k on the clock and me getting everything done, including advisorys, at services and MOTs in the last three years, there is always something that crops up. Today I drove it...

My Dad used to say that life goes faster as you get older. Yet the 2020s feel like they've gone on too long already.
