Wonderful day of sport. 08.35 New Zealand v England (Rugby Union) Test 11.00 England v Sri Lanka (Cricket) Test-3rd day 23.00 England v Italy (Football) World Cup There can't be too many international days like this.

Remembering that, with the new season starting on August 9th, Albion could be home or away on the first day of the new season. So what are the predictions for the first five games of the season ? And who would members most like to see as the first home and away fixtures ? I’m going for...

As I don’t have a suitable grey raincoat, and appropriate dark glasses, I gave the excess flesh of the naked bike ride a miss and took to the hills. I only walked for an hour or so but realised how much I love Sussex. Todays walk started at the Trevor Arms in Glynde, and finished at The...

Doubtless telling us as many terrible statistics about the country as we can possibly digest in one hour.

There seems to be much talk among some members about the need for a British manager. Perhaps it needs a thread of its own. The point is, if we were to adopt such a route, and needed someone with a proven track record, and who was available, then who would we look to task with the job ? It seems...

I know there are a few train enthusiasts on NSC, so I thought a post worthy. Not so long ago I obtained a copy of the 1938 edition. As the country was not long away from war, it made fascinating reading. I've written a piece about it, including a few of the train times (that would...

Rules: 1) Each post must make a (at least tenuous) connection with the previous one. 2) Post no more than two lines from a song.

Been on an excellent short walk today, just Pyecombe to the Dyke, but it was a great experience to enjoy the weather whilst it lasts. Just an hour and a half. I took me to wondering if other people do similar things on here, and if anyone has any recommendations for short local Sussex walks to...

Much debate has been had on the merits of the parties involved. So let NSC decide. Who will YOU be voting for, if at all, next week. In the poll I've included every party that scored more than 3% in England in 2009 elections. Maybe posters might want to put a short comment, if they wish...

Does anyone feel they have the necessary credentials? Post your application here... I'm sure Tony will be reading the forum.

Settling down to watch the match, coffee on the brew, favourite seat padded out.... I sign in with my day pass and.... 'Oops something went wrong here. Please come back later'. The NOW TV forum is steaming with angry viewers, it happened a couple of weeks ago too. Thankfully, I can wait...

My Dad is in his 80s, and used to attend Albion games post-war. He’s always been good to me, and knowing that because work circumstances may change soon, and I cannot realistically risk a season ticket next year, he’s encouraged me and paid something towards it. I really want to give him a...

I’m very thankful we never let my Mum go into a care home. I’m sure most are good and the residents well looked after, but some stories I’ve heard, some from care workers themselves, do disturb me. I was talking with a friend of mine at length on the issue and spoke about how user-owned and...

The boldness of the Seagulls in town never ceases to amaze me, the chap in the picture saw a couple eating their dinner in a cafe and continued to bang his beak on the window to express his annoyance at not being able to join in the banquet I wrote a piece for my blog on the little buggers...

Currently on BBC 2. The famous late night finish. Does anyone have any memories ?

Perhaps now KP has gone, it may work.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cricket/27082681

Currently travelling on the M1 towards Yorkshire, in the absence of engaging scenery, we have been discussing at what geographical point one becomes a Northerner. Thus far we have drawn a boundary that runs through Crewe and on to Chesterfield. Where would NSCers draw the frozen line under...

I’ve had my first disappointing e bay purchase this week and am not really sure what to do about it. I bought a new mobile phone for my other half. The phone arrived promptly, but having been advertised as new, unopened, and ‘unlocked’ it is clearly locked to another network and is asking for a...
