    Letter in Bristol Evening Post

    Not a happy bunny... FOOTBALL TEAM LINE-UP HAS COST US DEARLY Next Story | Previous Story | Back to list 11:00 - 01 June 2004 I Am writing having returned from the shambles that was the Bristol City play-off final. I haven't left a football ground so angry since Twerton in 1990. We...

    Bet for next season

    William Hill has Doncaster at 25-1 to win Division 2. Rather generous odds I reckon (and well below bankrupt Bradford). At the risk of sounding like Gareth Glover, I think that's got to be worth a punt BTW, Wh has us at 66-1 to win Div 1, with four teams worse placed than us.

    Plonker on Five Live

    Was anyone listening to Five Live on the way back? There was an email from some wanker droning on about that Shoreham harbour development and how it was the only place for the stadium. He ended by saying that Dick Knight had killed Brighton & Hove Albion. It was obviously one of the Falmer...

    Nimby mailshot....grr

    Came in last night to discover my ticket for the home leg waiting for me....and a mailshot from the Campaign for the Preservation of Rural England asking for a donation to fight proposed developments within rural areas. One of the things they drew my attention to was light pollution affecting...

    Guardian feature on Leon Knight and Sam Parkin

    Quite an interesting read, I hadn't realised that SP was at Chelsea as well. http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/0,1563,1214639,00.html

    Today's office debate

    My colleagues and I were talking about sporting dynasties. One thing that struck us was that there have been very few father and son combinations playing for England (or indeed, any other home country) - the Cloughs were the only ones who sprang to mind. Foreign teams might do better: Maldini...

    Why I hate football

    Surprised no-one's mentioned this article in the Guardian. I agree with a lot of the points so I was disappointed to find that the fella is only writing this as he has a book to plug. http://www.guardian.co.uk/g2/story/0,3604,1209436,00.html

    What the hell is a Round-Headed Rampion?

    Sussex people have named it as their favourite flower in a poll to establish a new county symbol. a) Why b) WTF is it? I guess the people who said this are the sort of people who are worried about bats :)

    Unluckiest manager?

    Eric Black set to be kicked out by Coventry....three days after winning an away game 5-2. To be replaced by Monkey Man must be the final insult.

    Quiz question for you

    Something to get the brain boxes ticking on Bank Holiday. Who are the only two players to have played in major cup finals at Wembley and Lord's? And there's an Albion connection to one of them.

    Any biologists on NSC?

    We're having a quick debate at work. Do identical twins have identical DNA? And if so, do non-identical twins? We reckon identical twins do but aren't so sure about other twins.

    Grizzly's in the top five

    Chris Adams has been chosen as one of Wisden's five cricketers of the year. Top honour for the guy - can't remember the last Sussex player to be in (an idea that it was Alan Wells) but it's not something that happens often.:clap2: :clap2:

    Kraftwerk ticket for sale

    Bit of a long shot this but my mate has an ear infection and can't go to the Kraftwerk gig at Brixton Academy on Saturday. Anyone interested in seeing the fathers of techno? It's the midnight show so it will probably only interest London NSCers. I'm going to put it on eBay but thought I'd try...

    Australia in trouble again

    75-4, Hayden 46 not out. Could be a low total. Wonder if Fatboy can get them out of trouble again.

    Aussies fight back

    Australia now 432-3. Looks like our crowing was a bit premature :( They're going to set Sri Lanka about 400 to win and Fat Boy's going to bowl them out and get his 500th wicket in the process :(

    Fancy dress - what should I wear?

    I've been invited to a fancy dress party with a Scottish theme and I can't think what to wear. I thought of carrying a wooden spoon but the host said that was a no-no. My colleague says I should go in Albion shirt, with two women and start a fight and say I was Mad Dog Kennedy but that's a bit...
