I give you Reg Kehoe and his marimba queens, featuring Frank De Nunzio Snr, possibly the greatest bassist ever lived. Watch the video in full - you won't be disappointed !

My girlfriend and I are going to Venice for 5 nights at the beginning of April. We're staying in a hotel by the Rialto bridge. Is there anyone on NSC that has been to Venice recently, that can advise us of the best attractions, and what we should strive to avoid ? She's really keen on visiting...

Has there ever been anyone so undeserving ? It's a bit like giving Putin the Nobel peace prize.

My girlfriend has worked for a multi national company for 5 years. Her department are being made redundant. She has been treated contemptuously by the company, and I'd like to pay for a consultation with an employment law expert for her, as it's seriously affecting her mental wellbeing. I...

I let a flat out in Reigate road in Brighton. I used an letting agent located near Preston Park, and received the highest quality service imaginable. That company were bought out a few months ago, and the company that took them over have proved to be worse than useless. There's a complete lack...

I give you architectural masterpiece that is The Mesquita in Cordoba.

I am the freeholder of a block of 4 flats in Brighton. It's been a pain in the a$$ for the past 30 years. I've never made any money out of it, and the owner of one of the flats has given me nothing but grief since she bought the flat eons ago. Her executors are selling the flat. It has 64 years...

Like most of you, I'm completely and utterly hacked off with the amount of cheating both on and off the pitch in football. I'm convinced that whilst playing for Chelsea and Hove Albion in the early 70's, Chris Garland actually got the referee to rule out one of his 'goals', because his effort on...

Can anyone on NSC recommend an online course that will help me to learn very basic Italian ? My girlfriend and I are going on holiday to Sicily next June, and I want to be able to master the basics. Me attempting to communicate in Italian will probably be a humiliating experience, but I’m up...

I know that this has appeared on NSC before, but my girlfriend and I are thinking about a holiday in Sicily next May. We're not keen on a breach holiday, and would rather visit quaint towns and marvel at stunning architecture. Any tips from NSCers that have visited Sicily recently will be more...

Any ping pongers out there on NSC ? I'm retired and my spare time is structured around table tennis. It's fantastically beneficial physically, mentally and socially. I've found it to be incredibly therapeutic. I'd go as far as to say that it's been life changing for me. I hope I'm not the only...

I don't know if anyone on NSC is interested, but the South Coast dates for sailings have recently been announced. Shoreham is 13 September, but I'll be abroad. The misses and I have booked the Portsmouth sailing on 25 September, combining it with a ride on the Swanage Heritage Railway. Hopefully...

I'm 68. I did my first 2 last night. Could've done with a chisel this morning to remove the shell, but at least I wasn't confronted with a gooey mess.

We've gotta buy this guy from Napoli. He might be somewhat lacking in the body art department, but that can soon be rectified. I wanna see his name on the back of our replica shirts.

What's the difference between game management and blatant cheating? I'm struggling to differentiate between the two.

I love a good courtroom drama. I've found the concept to be an interesting one, and the first three episodes to be captivating.

This heather ‘E’ Type takes some beating. Unfortunately this poor photo does this masterpiece little justice.

I spent last night listening to dozens of versions of this song. Springsteen never ceases to amaze me. He has a seemingly endless back catalogue of songs that are better than pretty well anything else that's out there. He's probably written dozens that are better than this one, but it really is...

I'm excited about this one. Anyone on NSC seen it yet ?
