No, it's not about Northampton but a request for a proper shoe repairer. Does anyone know of any in Brighton? It's a profession that seems to have completely died out - there are the ubiquitous heel bars, but they're useless for fixing anything (the one I went to last month couldn't even fix a...

Sad to see Pete Seeger has died aged 94. A man of honour and integrity who did so much for American music. He was a musical great in every sense

Pakistan have beaten Sri Lanka by chasing 302 in under 60 overs - they won with just 9 balls to spare having scored the last 195 in 33 and a bit overs. You wouldn't have bet on that result this morning

Yasir Arafat is back with Sussex for the T20s He gets around, doesn't he?

My 8-year-old lad is keen to play for a team but our local team, Coldean Colts, has moved to Whitehawk, two bus journeys away. We don't mind one journey, but not two. Does anyone know of any teams that are close by (or not even close, Lewes would be OK as that's 15 mins by bus, that my son...

This is interesting. A move that will be welcomed by all supporters fed up with ridiculous kick-off times and other arrangements http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20140107/statment-from-newcastle-and-sunderland_2281670_3608446

Been clearing up and found a copy of the Foul* annual from 1974. There's a letter from one Andy Kenrick that really caught my eye. "What the hell is all this we keep hearing about family football? ... Football is not about covered stadiums, padded seats, ice cream, women and kids. It's about...

Just joined Hampshire Hope he makes it there, always thought there was a halfway decent cricketer there. Messed around a bit by Sussex - in and out of the side, shifted up and down the batting order - perhaps he'll find a bit of stability

We've had a new cooker delivered but the supplier didn't mention that it didn't come with a power cable and that it needs to be hard-wired into supply (sorry, don't know the technical terms). Are there any sparkies on NSC who could connect us up so we can have our Christmas dinner next week? I...

I've been to lots of club rugby games but always in the lower leagues, when it's a question of just turning up for a game and paying on the gate. Never been to a Premiership match though. I'm thinking of taking my kids to see Quins v Gloucester later this month. Do I need to buy tickets in...

Being tonked 3-0 by Coventry Salad out!

Good piece in the Guardian today explaining how Switzerland managed to be a seed and we didn't. It's simple: the Swiss FA organised fixtures well, minimised friendlies to ensure optimal points, the English FA organised too many friendlies, one that offered minimal benefits...

German travel blog goes a bit wild over Brighton http://pushandreset.com/2013/10/14/grosbritannien-brighton-das-neue-england-an-der-london-road/ It's all in German but it's basically saying that Brighton is the dog's bollocks. Who'd have thought that London Road and the New England quarter...

When out shopping today, the radio in the shop was playing Day Tripper; the room at the back of the shop was also playing Day Tripper, but about a second behind the other radio. I thought that it was being played over a computer, which would explain the delay but when the song ended, I was...

There appears to be a mistake in the CC table. Surrey, who as we all know, are the leading English team, are just about to get relegated from Division 1. Surely an appeal is in order?

To continue the theme, songs that are about (or reference) books. I don't count bands who have taken their name from books (Doors, Steely Dan, Soft Machine etc) but actual songs I offer ... Don't Stand too close to Me - The Police and Baby Jump - Mungo Jerry, both of which mention Lolita...

My son is doing a tennis course tomorrow at Dorothy Stringer school. I know there are few ex-Stringerites here and I need some advice on getting there. The school address is Loder Road but there appears to be path from Stringer Way - which one is best for the gym? I assume that's where he's going

Haven't seen a mention of this but there was an excellent game at Hove this afternoon. Australia did well to get past the 200 thanks to lusty hitting at the end but England timed the chase to perfection. Pleasingly for the crowd, Sussex's Sarah Taylor scored a a quick 64 to help England to their...

My daughter said she'd never seen a goalie sent off before. When she said it she got me thinking: I couldn't remember one either.In 47 years of going to football, I must have seen one, can anyone remind me of the last time it happened at an Albion home game
