to revive an old chant. Peter Ward was a hero for many of our older fans. Is it time to revisit his best song with just a little tweak?
He shot, he scored, it must be Mi-to-ma, Mi-to-ma, Mi-to-ma
He shot, he scored, it must be Mi-to-ma, Mi-to-ma-a-a-a-a.
Scans perfectly.
Almost since the day RDZ and his team arrived, he has rekindled Mrs Earle's love of the Albion. Last season, she had really lost her Albion mojo and was cross with me for renewing her season ticket without checking with her. She found it a struggle to get motivated to come with me to home...
Ken is leaving Radio 2 to join Greatest Hits radio. That's me done with daytime Radio 2 now. Only Bob Harris Country left. I'll have to find Greatest Hits Radio on the car radio now.
Hearing that the last time Albion beat Liverpool at home was 14th January 1961 sent me hopefully scuttling upstairs to check my Albion v Liverpool programme from the same year. No luck. Mine is dated 16th September. But I also found my late dad's yellow card West Stand Season Ticket (Row K 123)...
Here's the thing:
6yr old Peugeot 2008. 46k on the clock. Worth £8,5k p/x. New tyres and shocks. Good Nick but dwindling value.
20yr old Citroen C3. 52k on the clock. New tyres. Keep it for Mrs Earle in case she ever drives again.
Conundrum: keep both and run on to the ground, or buy new C3...
Who is doing the most damage to the economy and why are these two seemingly so out of step. Is one not up to the job or both of them. Or neither, just victims of economical circumstance.
...are arriving daily in the field outside my house. They look like Grey Geese, Barnacle Geese and Canada Geese. Fabulous spectacle, honking away, flying around in Red Arrow type Flying V formations. Earlier in the year, it was lovely to watch the deer and other wildlife. Such a shame the local...
Before anyone just answers Yes, I know there are! As there's no footie, Internationals don't count, I thought I'd seek a solution from the NSC hive mind. We have a newish stair carpet, about 4 years, and the spikes in the gripper rods are wrecking Mrs Earle's shoes, slippers, toes and heels...
Ok, so I'm hoping the NSC hive mind can help with a suggestion or two. Landlord insurance is not my field, but I'm sure there's a few landlords here. My son in London has let his 3 year old top floor furnished apartment and asked me to look over his Landlords Insurance quote. He is new to the...
Is it Prince William, whoever transcribed his speech, or the media, but someone can't spell granny. Grannie is the plural noun, not the singular and it looks bloody weird in William's statement. Somebody should have known. Somebody should have corrected it before it hit the media. Now it's...
Actually, we need to replace Bruno with another Spanish speaking coach as part of the coaching team. We have a contingent of Spanish speaking players and will continue to do so. I know Nathan Jones speaks Spanish, but I doubt he would come as part of a coaching team, only as head coach. But...
I think the demolition of our club management/coaching team shows the reason why he has been so successful at Brighton. He's ruthless. Not a shred of gratitude or acknowledgement of any relationship with Bloom for employing him and Barber for supporting him. He's not only taken all his own toys...
A companion piece to the music version, I thought I'd offer an opportunity to post your favourite videos. Most of us go down rabbit holes or just have a favourite clip. It could be a music one with a brilliant video like Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel or the Willie Irvine goal clip or perhaps a...
Fantastic article in The Athletic today by Andy Naylor detailing Albion's relationship with Seacoast United and the involvement of American Express and Paul Barber. AN has his critics, but this is a fantastic piece of huge interest to Albion fans (I would think). It's behind a paywall, so you'll...
We sometimes have threads about what to watch. I'm interested in other's opinion of Young Sheldon, the spinoff prequel to Big Bang Theory. Initially focussed on Sheldon, it grew in to a ensemble cast comedy with a great supporting cast before developing in to a full blown family drama. 5 Seasons...
At last. I don't do dodgy streams, so at last from today I can watch at no additional cost on my TV as I already have Sky Cinema. What with all the new Star Trek content, Yellowstone and The Man Who Fell to Earth - yes, a follow-up to the Bowie movie, that's me sorted for the rest of my Covid...
Here's the thing. I have a 66 plate Peugeot with 42,000 miles on the clock. Out of the blue, it started knocking somewhere around the wheel arch on the drivers side. Diagnosed as an issue with the shock absorber which needed replacing and I should replace the other one at the same time. £505...
