Report in the Mail (yes, I know) that Dyche is ready to leave Burnley after the board refuses to free funds for transfers and approve new contracts for players. Despite this being a Mail story, I can see it having a ring of truth (it's been backed up by a sports reporter from the Burnley...

Just watched Francis Ford Coppola's The Conversation. It's the third time I've seen and it's a masterpiece - I think it's better than the Godfather and Apocalypse Now as he doesn't have a mad budget to blow. It's a good a thriller as you're likely to see, with one of the best casts you can...

It's the 50th anniversary of the Leeds v Chelsea cup final and, to celebrate, the Beeb has a nice piece about it https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52416192 I remember both matches - the replay in particular, that was an unbelievable game with running feuds throughout the game - played on a...

One of the finest from golden age of disco I know that Disco Stomp was the bigger hit but this was a monster floor filler back in the dayhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LanNZY63h3I Remember: it's not a question of getting down but how low you can go

Michael Vaughan and Tuffers have got a good challenge. Pick an all-time World XI using just one player from each of the test-playing nations. They don't say what format, so let's assume it's a test team. These are all players from my lifetime watching cricket Ed Joyce Gordon Greenidge Graeme...

... is that our poor dog doesn't understand. Mrs G and I are both too unwell to walk the dog and she can't clearly can't understand why she's not getting her daily walks. I'll be glad to get out there again and seeing her run.

Does anyone remember in what year Brighton phone numbers switched from five-figure to six. I know our first number in 1966 was five and when I started dialling my mates in 73, they were six - but what was the exact year they changed?

OK, we've had the thread on great cover versions - and there were some truly excellent ones. But what about the other side, cover versions that were so awful that the master tape should have been taken straight to the nearest incinerator? I can think of four off the top of my head Madonna -...

The U19 side is just about to lose to the West Indies (they need 114 off 11 overs with just two wickets left) However, Sussex's Tom Clark is currently the top scorer. There's a handy West Indian player though: Nyeem Young top scored with 66 and has, so far, taken 5-45 That follows his 61...

My 14-year-old son needs to find some work experience this (school) year and is really interested in carpentry. Is anyone out there a chippy in B&H who can offer some advice about the best way to proceed?

For the first time since we moved back to Brighton, we had not Trick or Treaters call round. Reading other groups I see that quite a few others have had the same experience. It was a fine night so it wasn't the weather putting people off, have we passed peak T or T? It was very strange seeing...

Has there ever been a technological advance that's had such a low-key beginning? A technology that has completely transformed the way to work and live began on 29 October 1969 with a simple two-letter message "lo" - it was meant to be "login" but there was a computer crash. NSC owes its life to...

I'm looking for someone to put up a couple of garden fencing panels (and three posts) It's only a small job so the people I've approached so far aren't interested. Anyone out there who can handle it? We're in Coldean.

Here's something to do it you're bored. Go to MOT Check and put in the registration number RJ04ZYX Look up the reason why this car failed its MOT in 2015 and just remember that this is an official government record (it's no-one I know, I saw it on Twitter and it needed to be shared)

Sussex batting coach Michael Yardy is to join New South Wales Hope we can appoint someone sharpish to carry on his good work

When my washing machine stopped working, NSC came up trumps. So, let's try with fridges - my 13-month-old Zanussi has stopped cooling (a month after warranty ended). Can anyone recommend a reliable engineer for us? We're based in Coldean

A bit surprised there's been no thread on this - I thought there were quite a few Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman fans on here. I, on the other hand, have never read anything by TP or NG, so had no pre-conceived ideas but I rather enjoyed it. David Tennant and Michael Sheen were obviously...

Having terminated Wright's involvement in red ball cricket, Sussex have announced that Michael Burgess is to join Warwickshire. Initially on loan for the rest of the season, but with a view to move permanently. That leaves the team with just two batsmen who didn't play this week - Evans and...

Just got an email from club thanking me for attending 17 home matches. This is true: I missed two league games this year BUT for one them, I loaned a ticket to a friend so she'd have registered its use. How can the club tell that it's not me going through the turnstile? It seems a bit Big...
