Question I was asked yesterday. Obviously things have moved on, we are now customers not supporters, and the current circumstances have drastically changed, ie football behind closed doors. Fans in the ground, and new issue out almost every game, I’m sure the editorial content and supporters...

Anyone watched it yet? My daughter is raving about it, but I'm not sure its my thing really.

Watched the second ever episode of Porridge yesterday morning, it bought back amazing memories, as I watched back in October 1974 with my dear old Gran and Grandad. Its the one where Fletch sets up a gambling version of Snakes and Ladders in the coke store with Lukewarm, Heslop and Evans, Mr...

Out on our cycle along the seafront this morning a mate and I were waxing lyrical and getting all nostalgic. Perhaps a question for the younger NSCers, are titles such as Mayfair, Knave and Club International still on sale at the likes of WH Smith’s or your local newsagent? When living in...

Out and about in the car this afternoon they were talking about the Basil D'Oliveira affair from 1968 on Talk Sport came back in the office and googled it, it appears our very own Arthur Gilligan was Chairman of the MCC back in 1968 who initially didn't pick the player for the tour to South...

Of Siegfried and Roy fame. The Kings of the Vegas Strip in their day, Roy sadly died last year, back in 2004 I was booked to go to Vegas for my 40th and hoped to see them at the Mirage but unfortunately in Oct 2003 Roy got mauled by a Tiger and they never performed again. Did anyone on here...

The great British circus showman sadly contracted Covid 19 and left us yesterday. Another part of our youth gone, back in the day great family entertainment.

Eddie Hearn is claiming its a 90% 'done deal', unfortunately for UK boxing fans I think the first fight will be abroad, Vegas, Saudi or even China, a necessity to generate the money both fighters want especially if Fight One is so conclusive a rematch wont be financially viable. No doubt we...

According to Alex Crook on Talk Sport this morning. The new contract apparently gives him parity with the top wage earners at the Amex

Without attracting various emails from Russian ‘fitties’ suggesting marriage? Have moved house and haven’t got BT sport. Thanks

Bob Dugard always wanted to take speedway to the dog track, I wonder if the team had been based at Hove, a more central location, could they have been a bigger club? Even though Tony Millard kindly offered me an open invitation to the Arlington Stadium Harty Junior and I never got over there...

On the back of the Elvis/Bowie birthday yesterday, the age old debate who or who isn’t a musical genius? Few names to throw into the mix who have left us, Bowie, Amy Winehouse, John Lennon, Ray Charles, Freddie Mercury , George Michael, James Brown and Elvis. Any others? But who’s a genius...

Something nice and light to debate whilst the American Civil War rages. Tesco on line man turned up the other night, delivering at 8.15pm on a Sunday, Amy does all the on line shopping, but I helped both her and the driver unload the order. At the end she naturally said thank you and then...

Can’t see this suggestion being popular, might have to knock the Tokyo games on the head again, and then start again in 2024 rather than clashing with the World Cup (if that even goes ahead in 2022)

Anyone else watching this? Have caught the first two episodes, quality drama and very graphic in its depiction, my only observation, not a criticism, is there are an awful lot of flashbacks, so best not watch it when you've had a drink or you're tired.

Born at 77 Montpelier Road, Brighton on 7th December 1916. The inventor of Subbuteo, does anyone know if is there a blue plaque on the house?

Only place in England with the pubs left open. I know Harold Wilson used to holiday there, and Liz Costa and John Lees went 'twitching' there, but wondered if anyone else had been there? What's it like?

Well worth a look, classic British made period drama lots of familiar faces.

Bit of fun for Xmas Sunday, what’s your ideal line-up for Jool’s’s NYE extravaganza? Competition rules, 5 Bands or artists, must be alive and still performing, providing a musical eclectic mix for diversity and to a degree within the confines of BBC budgets. I will kick off with Paul Weller...

Consummate professional, fast turning into a national treasure. Two great Xmas specials on different channels last night, Celebrity Christmas Chase on ITV and then Blankety Blank on BBC an hour later. He must have an extremely good agent. 👍 Before I get flamed, I’m closer to 60 than 50 and...
