Sussex have signed another keeper Machan joins Sussex staff From The Argus) That's now Prior, Hodd, Brown and Machan on the staff - are they expecting some sort of keeper crisis? I know that Prior will spend most of the time playing for England but three in reserve seems a bit excessive.

This is not the end of Ponting's captaincy - Cricket - Sport - smh.com.au I love the fact that Australia were a bit unlucky as they didn't have the right team selected - whose fault was that? Is SMH suggesting that England were picking Australia's team for them. And that as for that bollocks...

Following on from the famous person thread Which Brit celebrities are widely known in this country but would be almost completely unknown outside the UK. These won't be sport stars as - with a few exceptions -they wouldn't be widely known (Mrs G never recognises anyone that I think is...

I'm looking for someone to shoot and edit a two 6-minute promo videos for inclusion on a website. They will be shot indoors and need to be turned round quite quickly. This is a professional job not for someone who fancies shooting something with an iPhone - the person we use normally is on...

According to the Beeb, Freddie "Newcastle women are dogs" Shepherd's £60m bid for Newcastle is likely to be accepted. That's a bit of a drop from the £100m that Ashley was asking for - and a long way from the £300m that was the original asking price. As Tony Bloom has put about £90m into the...

16 June - the feast of St Richard - is Sussex Day. Not sure exactly what this means but it does sound like a good excuse to drink more Harveys.

Bit off topic this but the BBC is reporting that the RSC's Hamlet is going to be on telly.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8072814.stm As one of the many people who saw an understudy play Hamlet when I saw this production, I'm delighted that the BBC is giving us a chance to see Tennant...

I don't often celeb spot but Robbie Savage is currently outside the Novatel in Euston Road, talking on a mobile

Haven't seen this posted yet but this is interesting. 'Appy 'Arry is going to ban all Spurs players from drinking during the season from this August. Brave move and one that I suspect other teams will follow. IT certainly wouldn't surprise me if Wenger did the same. Harry Redknapp to ban...

This is a naked grovel for funds. I'm doing the London to Brighton bike ride on 21 June and am touting around for sponsors. If anyone's got any spare pennies, then please throw them my way - I'm not asking for big bucks from people who don't know me in the flesh, but £3 (the cost of a pint)...

For years there was a quiz night favourite question "What's the biggest British city/town not to have hosted top division football?" The answer was Hull. I've not seen that question recently, so does anyone know what the answer is now? My guess is Milton Keynes but that is just a guess.

On a couple of occasions, I've seen in the Argus about schools 'adopting' a player who then becomes involved in doing activities at that school. I asked the teacher in charge of football at my children's school (Coldean Primary) about it and he hadn't heard of it. Is there a formal way of...

I see that Southern and First Crapital are warning of severe disruption this morning between Haywards Heath and Three Bridges. I chose a good day to be at home :thumbsup: Seeing that about 75% of the trains I've caught in the last fortnight have been cancelled or delayed, it will be...

Can't see any mention of this on NSC but just seen this. Guardian News and Media has hired Paul Hayward, the Daily Mail's chief sports writer, to become senior sports writer. One more reason to get the Guardian

Anyone got any experience of them? What's their coverage like? In particular, has anyone used their mobile broadband? They're offering much better deals than Vodafone but I don't want to switch if I can't get a signal half the time.

Just looking at Cholet, where yesterday's stage of the Tour de France finished. Here's an example of the facilities: "Cholet has invested in modern, state of-the-art infrastructures, such as the Glissé center which combines 2 skating rinks and 8 recreational pools." This in a place of 200,000...

I've just had an email inviting me to a Christmas shopping evening on 24 July. WTF? I know that Christmas gets earlier and earlier but this is before the summer break. Anyone know any Christmas events earlier than this?

That's what I was discussing with various people at a computer security show yesterday. It's an interesting question: does everyone have his or her price? I blogged about it, posted to Digg and I'd be interested to see any comments. http://digg.com/security/What_s_your_price_4/shar Oh yes, and...

A true football great. Well, not great perhaps but by all accounts a very good player (62 goals in 61 appearances for Wednesday) until he had to have his leg amputated. Shamefully sacked as manager on Christmas Eve after many years' service ("I'd have stood on my one leg as a corner flag if...
