    [Albion] Monday night club

    On radio 5. Anyone been listening. Just a joy to hear our club being talked about in this manner. Even asking the question of whether we could ever win the Premier League (sensibly, mostly saying very unlikely)

    [Food] SuperGreen supplements

    Does anyone use, or have you used, these new breed of supergreen nutrition powders, like Rheal. If so what are/were your thoughts? I've bought a trial pack and have been using for 3 days now, and I do feel a little brighter/energetic but I'm wondering if this is just in my head? My diet is ok...

    [NSC] So wait a minute

    A thread is posted saying that NSC is not as great as it used to be. Monopolised by the same old repetitive bores etc. Arguments ensue... A contributor (one of the bores?) Says 'hehe, mods, wouldn't it be funny if we altered the thread title, titter titter' The thread title IS amended??? Then...

    [Drinking] CBD drinks (Trip etc)

    I've tried these a couple of times now and they just seems like a massive load of nonsense. I was not expecting much, but I was hoping to experience the sense of calm that they purport to deliver so that they might replace my after work de-stress beer. But nothing. In fact instead of a sense of...

    [Misc] Christmas day disasters

    Anyone (other than me) have any? I had to throw out the whole turkey. It didn't smell right from the off, and did not smell right when cooked. Had to improvise, but better than killing everyone..

    [Football] The EFL Championship thread

    Yes, I know that it's not our league at this time, but it's proper football and, most importantly, it's on now. And for starters Vincent Kompany's Burnley look like another team compared to the one that played under Dyche. Only 1-0 at time of writing but it's not the Burnley I remember...

    [Misc] Anyone got a Hive thermostat (and valves)

    I was interested in ordering the Hive system, but when speaking to an agent it became clear that the £190 for the Hive Active heating was just the start, and that i'd have to fork out a further £199 for 5 valves. Alternatively i could order the 5 valves and a hub for just £259 - but this seems...

    [Football] Forest Green - not happy are they...

    Speaking to Sky Sports, Forest Green owner Dale Vince said: "Watford advised Rob not to tell us, specifically. That doubles down on the deceit. Deceit is part of a culture that comes from the top." https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61405925
