    [Travel] Dog sitters

    We have a couple of breaks booked and are our normal arrangement is not now available. Does anyone have someone they could trust to have our labrador for a week in March? We have approached a few of the professionals locally but didn't get a good vibe from any. Worthing area.

    [Travel] Goodbye Splash Mountain

    Yesterday was the last ever run for this ride at the Magic Kindom in Disney World Florida before it is "re-imagined". A blow for those Disney lovers who love the nostalgic feel of it but I guess everything has to evolve. I pray Thunder Mountain doesn't go the same way. Sad times.

    [Food] Where is the best Cheese Ploughmans in Sussex

    Following on from our noble leaders hunt for the best onion rings, where is the best Cheese Ploughmans in Sussex? This seems to be a dying offering with so many pubs either not offering a ploughmans or offering something that frankly is a poor imitation of the name. Best in recent memory for...

    [Other Sport] Andy Murray

    I have never been a fan of his after his comments about the England football team, but I have to say he does now seem to be a decent guy who is grafting very hard to keep playing the sport he loves. Fair play to him.

    [TV] Disney Channel - This is us

    Mrs Giraffe watched a few episodes of this and said it was so good that I had to watch it. So I did, and we are now ploughing through the second of six series with an awful lot of episodes in each series. The problem is it's a bit depressing. There are uplifting moments and a few laughs but...

    [Albion] Home v Away

    We are currently 3rd in the away from home table. 13th at home. Should we maybe the limit the home crowd just to the 3,000 that go away?

    [Albion] Just be more direct?

    Is it just me wondering why, in the end, what changed under Potter was he just went more direct. Two seasons of passing it round in a horseshoe was suddenly replaced with a few long balls and we started scored for fun. Now we have gone back to a horseshoe passing game again. Is that over...

    [Football] Spain, Portugal and er Ukraine - World Cup 2030

    That will make travelling between countries interesting for this World Cup interesting... Seems like a blatant attempt to gain some political headwind behind the Spain/Portugal bid https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63141352

    [Football] Is this a good time or a bad time to play Spurs?

    On the back of a bit of a battering at their North London rivals is this a good time to be playing them OR a bad time. No fence. EDIT - I also see they are playing in the Champions League on Wednesday night. Against zee Germans.

    [TV] Dreamlife of Georgie Stone

    Self confessed Neighbours fan here, but this is a really interesting short story which is very moving. Worth 29 minutes of your time to watch. Very inspiring.

    [News] It's meter reading day - do it today

    On 1 October, the annual energy bill for a typical household will rise from £1,971 to £2,500 - a 27% increase. Submitting accurate meter readings means providers won't accidentally charge you at the higher rate for your earlier energy use.

    [Albion] Johnny Cantor view on Potter succession from the BBC live feed

    Johnny Cantor, Brighton commentator for BBC Radio Sussex, from BBC live feed. It is an interesting dynamic at Brighton and Hove Albion, as ordinarily when a coach departs, it follows a poor run or a major fall-out and a new manager would take over a struggling team. But if Graham Potter...

    No thread on PMQs today? Just re-watched it and was surprised to see Truss give Starmer a bit of a hammering. Have Labour under estimated her?

    [Albion] Tony Bloom's Blue and White Army

    Yes another thread on this, but a different take. The Club is a success because of Bloom, not Potter. Potter is the icing on the cake, or maybe the cherry, but 80% of our success is down to the strength of the club ownership and directorship. I have faith they'll make the right decision to...
