Mrs Gwylan needs some help with some alterations. If you know anybody, please let me know

Sad to see that the leader of the Lisbon Lions has died - what a player he was. In today's modern era, you won't see many people stay loyal to their club for such a length of time - more than 800 appearances and a host of honours. And then come back to manage them That day in 1967 still sticks...

I thought I'd have a look at how we reacted the last time we got tonked by five or more goals at home. Was there a reaction to the defeat? Er ... no. We lost our next three games (the very next one, 4-1) Did we make wholesale changes? Again, it was no. We changed the keeper, signing Grummitt...

I'm writing an article on flat management structures among development teams.Do any of you software people have any experience of working without a tech lead and are willing to talk about what it was like?

https://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/society/bristol-and-brighton-the-same-place-20190306183222 It's not true though; if it were, we'd all speaking like Ashley Barnes and looking for three points at Millwall

Looking to buy a cricket bat for my son as he's now outgrown his old one. I'm shocked to find that there's nowhere in B&H that sells one. Went to Chavs Direct and Decathlon, but nothing there. The Intersport shop in Hove doesn't sell them. Oh, for the days when we had AA Baker, Swifts, David...

Surprised not to see a mention of this. Pakistan seamer, Mir Hamza is set to join Sussex for nine games this summer. Presumably, we're resigned to losing Jofra for most of the season - IPL and the Ashes will take him away from us,

Sad to see that the greatest of all sports writers has died. He was the highlight of The Observer for many years. His most celebrated article was the one following the Rumble in the Jungle but, for me, his account of poor Johnny Owen's final fight is superb example of how to write.

This is a new one, I've never seen the affairs of a football club being discussed in parliament before https://calendar.parliament.uk/calendar/Commons/All/2019/1/24/Daily Surprised Ashley's not selling tickets for it

The Cricketer is publishing a special edition with a feature on the 100 best schools for cricket in England (including six in Sussex). I've had a look and I'm pretty sure that every school on it is an independent. The hidden message is that most future England cricketers are going to come from...

Surprised there's no thread on this. What an astounding technical achievement this film is: so many young lives walking in front of eyes. It's a film that's got everything: humour, sadness, despair but perhaps, above all, incomprehension. There's been plenty about the war this weekend, but...

Bath are requesting that their match with Toulouse be replayed, mainly because the ref didn't send off two Toulouse players (who have subsequently been banned after their offences were seen by a disciplinary panel). I'm sure Bath were hard done by but these are murky waters. I sincerely hope...

Seen everything now: on sale at the UKIP conference https://www.indy100.com/article/ukip-nigel-farage-condom-brexit-twitter-jokes-8548691 (Insert knob joke here)

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/world-europe-45499364 One of my faves: producer of a heady mix of rai and western rock. Saw at the Dome about 12 years ago when he played a storming set, including a blistering performance of Rock the Casbah. 59's no age

We hear a lot about our railway infrastructure and how it's basically Victorian but I hadn't realised that the train companies are basically Victorian ... until yesterday. For reasons too complicated to get into, my daughter was stranded in Nottinghamshire with no bank card and no money. If...

Our Bosch washing machine is playing up - keeps on stopping before cycle is complete. Anyone got any recommendations for an engineer to look at it - we're in Coldean?

As I have a season ticket, I'm not used to buying Albion tickets online. I must say that I'm a bit shocked to discover that you can't purchase tickets outside office hours and must wait till 9.00 to be allocated a place in the queue. That's the sort of thing that happened in the 90s, it seems...

I'm struggling to raise a team for Lewes Priory's match at Hurstpierpoint next Thursday. If you're an U13, U12 or a decent U11 (older if you're a girl) and fancy a game, PM me. The match starts at 6.00, will finish about 8.45 and, sorry, players can't be registered with other clubs in the SAYC...

One of the most striking aspects of this tournament has been the quality of the right backs - not normally the most eye-catching of positions. We've seen four excellent players in the semi-finalists: Trippier (who many think has been England's player of the tournament), Pavard, who has been...
