Brighton Pavilion's Green MP is not standing at next election. That will be an interesting seat to watch. She's been an excellent MP with a big personal vote, I wonder if Labour will snatch it back

The BBC is asking fans of the Premier League team to pick the best opponent that their team has faced. The person picking the Albion's has opted for Ronaldo. This struck me as a strange choice - he scored a good goal against us at OT but I don't recall him tearing us apart. I'd have chosen...

Is there a cut-off point for entry to the Amex? I've never been late before and don't know what happens. I'm tied up with the rugby team on Sunday and have to wait for the match to finish, so I won't get to the Amex until 2.30 at the earliest, possibly not until even later? Can I get in...

It's that time of the year when I start getting booze in for Christmas. But where can I go to get a good selection of beers. Every year. I used to pop into Trafalgar Wines and buy all sorts of weird and wonderful tipples. However, it closed down a few years ago and where can I go. Last year. I...

Blimey, I hadn't realised that NSC was so highly regarded - look at this tweet from The Dom, earwigging the mods' meetings :lolol: Dominic Cummings @Dominic2306 v often in no10 the most senior officials complained to me about Wallace (&LT) briefing Harry Cole at the Sun, sometimes...

This is a bit of a long shot but is anyone driving back to Brighton on Sat evening at about 10.30/11.00? Mrs G and I have tickets for the opera, booked some time ago (before train strikes were on the cards) and have no way of getting back. If anyone is coming back that evening - happy to share...

The doyen of French cinema has come to the final reel. His films made such a huge impression on me in my late teens/early 20s - he was such a startling innovator. A Bout de Souffle would still be one of my eight desert island films and Weekend, Pierrot Le Fou and Alphaville not far behind. "A...

It's always an interesting read to see what the fans think of the forthcoming season but this year's is very unusual. For a start, not a single fan has named Brighton as a team to go down - I'm pretty sure that's the first time that's happened The "first manager to be sacked" question normally...

There seem to be a lot of departures from the club - none of which appear to be announced on the club website There are only 14 players in the first team squad on the site ... and one of those is Maya Le Tissier, who said goodbye to the club on Twitter yesterday (again, silence from the club)...

One of the great theatre and film directors of our time has died aged 97. Brook was a revolutionary director, eschewing elaborate sets and trendy gimmicks to tell a story. His version of King Lear (starring well known Old Varndeanian Paul Scofield) is an unremitting depiction of the tragedy. He...

Just logged on to NSC and I got a message from my AV software that they've just isolated a virus when I logged onto the URL. I've been using NSC for 20 years and I can't remember the site being flagged as a possible source of viruses before. Anyone else see this?

I'm writing an article and I'm looking for a driving analogy. What's the hottest new feature for a modern car to have - the 'must-have' for a driver who wants the latest fad. And what was the previous hottest fad?

Quick question for car drivers who regularly go to London How long would it take to get to central London from Brighton at 3.30/4.00 in the morning? A company is laying on a cab for me and is allowing three and a half hours - that looks a bit excessive to me but, I don't drive, so have no...

Our girls rugby team is playing in Reigate tomorrow and we were short of people offering lifts. I looked up public transport and a train takes an hour and 45 minutes. If I factor in the time it takes to get a bus to the station, it would take me more than three hours to get to place that's about...

Blimey, Sussex openers have put on an unbroken 50 for the first wicket - at a fair lick too (54 off 12) On the other hand, I see that Pakistan have had a Sussex-like collapse, losing seven wickets for 20 runs on a good batting strip, new Sussex signing Rizwan getting 1. Looks he'll fit in well

... has just scored a pretty impressive ton on a fifth day wicket. Pujara and Rizwan look a very solid pair to have coming in. Not very Sussex-like

There's someone on NSC who fixes electric cookers because I remember him coming to us about a dozen years ago. Can't remember who but we're looking for someone who can replace a damaged element (or tell us that it can't be fixed). Anyone out there who can help?

Any recommendations for an accountant to help sort out finances. It's for a sole trader whose not on big bucks, so no fancy firm

Day of the long knives at Lord's: eight players dropped after the Ashes debacle. Bye bye Anderson and Broad after such long service. No room for Malan, Burns, Billings, Buttler, Bess and Hameed. Brutal. No room for Tom Haines though. Lees, Parkinson, Fisher and Mahmood join the squad

Someone jokingly posted yesterday that Newcastle should just buy the entire first team squad. Newcastle have unlimited funds so let's imagine that they did, or at least the 14 that played at Leicester plus Dunk and Biss. And let's say that they wanted Ashworth, Potter and the entire coaching...
