If you were to be a vocalist either in a band or as a solo artist whose voice would you like to be blessed with? And conversely whose voice would you prefer to not be saddled with? Please note this is not a best and worst singer thread. For instance there may be some technically very good...

On 8th Feb we play Chelsea in the FA Cup and then again in the league six days later. Given the choice, and you could only have one, would you rather beat Chelsea in the FA Cup and lose to them in the league, or lose to them in the Cup match and beat them in the league? I suppose the question...

Ive never heard of him myself, but I'm sure there will be many on NSC who have and will appreciate this opportunity to post their personal tributes and recollections of Bob.

Apologies to @Mustafa II as he has probably never heard of her, but others may be interested to note the passing of Dame Joan Plowright, who as well as her many acting achievements was also a former Brighton resident when she lived with her husband, the distinguished actor Lord Laurence Olivier...

On one side we have a couple who have a total of 4 cars. I've no idea why as they could quite easily cope with just two and one of them the man barely uses and appears to have just for show. Without any apparent sense of self awareness he often comments how parking has become a problem in our...

What's your greatest personal sporting achievement or memory as a participant (not a spectator)? This thread isn't aimed just at the "sporty" types, as every one of us has played sport in some capacity, whether we liked it or not and whether we excelled at it or not. And whatever our level of...

This thread is about things, events and people you first learned about through a song or a band name. Specifically things which you were previously unaware of. It's NOT a thread just about famous events and people which you already knew about. I'll start with the life imprisonment of the...

I'd never heard of Maurice Flitcroft before but he was the Eddie the Eagle of golf. He was a crane operator from Barrow who despite his limited experience of the game entered the Open Golf Championship in 1976. He was so bad that he got barred from entering again but this didn't deter Maurice...

Can anyone recommend someone who can fix a door handle / opening mechanism on a VW Transporter in the Hove/Portslade/Brighton area? Ive been told it's cheaper to use a car body repairer than a mechanic. Is that the case? Ive taken the door panel off but the job is more complicated than i'd hoped.
