Well written article as ever. https://www.private-eye.co.uk/news You have to admire the way Hislop punches up towards the powerful, rather than down towards the powerless, like, say, Dick Littlepenis. I'm sure the Mail reading, immigrant hating clique on NSC don't want me to have my views but...

Banned from the CV Good News thread. If you want to talk politics or argue with people there are plenty of places to do so on NSC - please don't abuse a thread that is there only for positivity.

There has been a non-stop PARADE of people past our window over the last three weeks. A bit of rain this morning and no **** has been past in two hours. I thought your daily exercise was essential?

Here's a list of things I can get / have had delivered over the last month: Takeaway, children's toys, books, fresh pub beer and pork scratchings, organic eggs, croissants, a wedding anniversary gift from my mother, an anniversary card and wine. And, while I haven't taken advantage of it, I...

Burning Sky Spring Ale 4 pinter from The Foghorn's delivery service. Got a poker game in an hour, so taking it very easy, but the first half pint was enjoyed in the lovely sunshine in my back garden :whistle:

Just been on the SCCC website to see if they cancelled the Buble concert yet (I got the Mrs tickets to go with her mates for Xmas and I could use the refund money :lolol: ). They haven't. But, not only that, the Vitality Blast T20 games are all on the site as going ahead and tickets can be...

One for the nerds and mathematicians out there. Simple equation. 20+4x4 Deliberately no brackets. Type that with an = in front in Excel and you get what it, to me, the correct answer, 36. Mrs GB insists it is 96 because that's what you get when you type it into a calculator - obviously this is...

The Thursdat "it's basically a Fridat" Bank Holiday Drink Guzzling Thread, Official 4 pint take away of Franklins Kaleidohop IPA from The Foghorn. My beer wanker app tells me this is made differently each time depending on the available hops. This version is straw yellow (think the colour of...

*raises hand* Have been self isolating since Saturday. No fever or sore throat but have had a consistent chesty cough. This has meant no running as I would normally. I am also lucky enough to still be working as can work from home every day, but that has meant 12 hour days on the desk, followed...

Since many of us will have our young ones at home from tomorrow, but trying to learn, a single place for us school and toddler age parents to share ideas. Particularly: - how to help with home learning - kid friendly recipes to make together - issues with schools / governments - how to keep...

Both banned for 3 months.

Having caught up on a fair bit of telly recently, as well as being Chief Household Cook (yes that's C-O-O-K you cheeky blighter at the back), it crossed my mind that TV cookery comps could get even more tough with a bit of realism. I would suggest: 1) Best Home Cook - you have 5 hours to make a...

Insulting someone who has just died, with online trolling a likely contributory factor, is stupid and very much not on.

It's season ticket renewal season. March 11 is the cut off for lump sums, by when we'll have no clue as to what division we'll be in next season. So, are you intending to renew? Simple yes/no poll. Me? I'm on DD and I'd keep it going for me and the boy if we were in League 2 so it's an absolute...

Let's face it that was possibly the worst Premier League game ever in terms of quality. Brighton players - hang your heads in shame. Watford players - hang your heads in shame Referee and utterly useless "can't make a decision" linos - hang your heads in shame Potter, Ashworth, Barber, Bloom -...

Minor infraction for a poorly thought out comment on the Kobe Bryant thread but lead to a ban under totting up.

Two shots on target. Awful decision making in the first half. Sitting back a la Hughton in the second. Total inabiilty to play thorugh the press. Not what has been promised up to now. Players, manager or off day? Villa were shit and that was unforgivable from us.

When I was growing up in the 70s my parents taught me the correct order for hand washing was water first, then soap. Possibly, however, this was because the soap in question was the height of "luxury" - a hard bar of Imperial Leather. My wife has always believed it is soap first, then water and...

Another airline in trouble? Only a year since they were last bailed out. Bad news with 2000 jobs and previously booked flights at risk, though it has always struck me as a twin-prop Ryanair. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-51089118

Did any kind soul help the large group of Chelsea fans heading back on the Coastway West towards West Sussex instead of mainline yesterday? I assume their leader was dyslexic and confused "Lancing" with "London". I do hope they found their ways home safely. :moo:
