I've only just noticed that at the top of the forum. What a splendid read. Thanks to those who write there :clap: I'll add to Hiney's programmes for essential Albion consumption.

Not long now folks. I hope everyone is in training. Well, maybe not me as I just turn up, walk around the boundary and do a little scoring. Maybe nick some tea if there's any going. I'll start this year off with a nice picture of a watching Darwin, our former mascot who sadly passed in the...

A Chinese fast food burger outlet has recently opened up in Sussex, specialising in new types of indigenous take away meals. The best seller is the quarter panda.

I'm fascinated by all sorts of football stats. Today I found another interesting one. Ignoring their relegation season of 2017/18, Stoke City have remained within a six place band of the league they have been in every season since 2008. Premier League (9th-14th) 9 seasons Championship...

Great and good of NSC. Neighbour reports to me a leak through the ceiling downstairs. Says they have a plumber coming tomorrow. I go into my bathroom and notice gurgling hot water coming through the plug hole. I then go into the kitchen and see the hot water tank is dripping near the pressure...

An Albion fan goes to Selhurst Park for the match and gets very drunk. Somehow he ends up in the Palace end. He loses all self awareness, and celebrates when Albion score. The two big Palace fans either side of him start grunting and grimacing and he fears for his safety. Finally, one of them...

Two werewolves buy tickets for a home match at the AMEX Turning up half an hour before kick off, one turns to the other and says 'There doesn't seem to be many people around at the moment.'

My dear friend and work colleague has told me he has just done a 'sample' for his bowel cancer testing kit. He asked if he should send it first class or second class. I told him to send it turd class.

Today is Wednesday. I have not questioned that. Until it isn't, of course. Which it isn't. It appears to be Thursday. I now have to do some work this evening that is always done earlier in the day in preparation for my team tomorrow. All this has come about because I found myself off my...

We've got you used to seeing Albion in the Premier League, and others will have done too. But I wonder how outside supporters of other clubs, of many years standing, see Albion's name in the context of their history of the following the game. A team who played in front of relatively small...

So... I go to get me glasses to put on and walk up the shop. I can't find them. They are normally in one of three places. Not so today. I'm pretty organised and hunting them down never takes long. Nothing, nil. They have vanished. Most frustrating as I need them to drive, although other road...

It seems to have become increasingly noticeable in some threads that have a lot of folk in considered discussion, whether in agreement or not, that the only response of some is to use the laughing emoji. On one thread alone, a member has used it 50 times whilst only making ten, barely...

Early this morning I scored a try in the Six Nations. Only it hurt... I was having a dream and scrambling to reach a poor pass by the opposition member and touch it down. For the first time in my entire life, my brain seemed to miss-fire my sub conscience in sleep and my body acted as if it was...

Tonight I find myself watching Wrexham v Birmingham City. It's an enjoyable match and worth the watch. Sometimes Division 3 games can have some quality. I thought to mention it to folk in NSC, but didn't really think it thread worthy. Although it now has one by default. Has NSC pondered the...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/articles/c9wl9lep7w5o Whilst I am uncomfortable when politicians make sport about politics, and sometimes social issues, I feel this stand is correct. Women and girls are denied the right to proper participation in sport in Afghanistan. The female cricketers...

Reading a light and interesting story on the Beeb pages, I wondered how much time we spend focused on the negative aspects of life. Also in NSC, bad news often gets brought here. But what about the light and happy stuff ? So I thought to start a thread where folk can share light, funny and...

Well the episode is actually called Joy to the World... and it's tomorrow. Details here for Whovians. https://www.bbc.com/mediacentre/articles/2024/doctor-who-christmas-special-joy-to-the-world However, an old friend of mine was looking around town for a vegan panettone today, and upon sharing...

Spoiler alert- he doesn't exist https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgr9v1ppglo The above article made me chuckle. 10 and 11 ? I'm not even sure I ever believed in him after about 6. When I was about 5, my older brother and me hatched a plan to catch him. My brother chickened out and fell...

I have a spine that has shown sign of degeneration and can cause a cumbersome frame and some rather awful pain on occasions, but the last week has been a real pain for other reasons. Left side top of buttock/waist radiating down the side of the leg to the upper thigh. A pain that is constantly...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/snooker/articles/c5y78g8828xo Don't normally do RIP threads, but he was one of the reasons I fell in love with the game. Came from nowhere to win the big one in 1979. Great character. Sadly lost to the evil dementia.
