Glad to see many cafes are banning people from holding intrusive, annoying meetings in cafes. Some still seem to embrace it though. There’s one I stopped going to as they had some guy in there most days with a Madonna mic on and he paces around the cafe hosting his meeting. These aren’t...

What a sad end to a sad tale. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/26/virginia-giuffre-suicide-dead-aged-41

To those wiser than me; I’m not very financially savvy so it’s taken me a long time to realise but I recently noticed that my work hasn’t enrolled me into the workplace pension. I’ve been employed full time for over two years. I should have noticed way earlier but I’ve met the criteria for the...

A pub in Ireland. Saturday afternoon. A bloke sits on his own drinking a pint when he spots another bloke up at the bar who looks just like him. He sits for a while and then decides to go and talk to him. “Ah Jaysus and Begora, ya look just like me, where’d you grow up”? The other bloke...

The new epic nature series from the amazing BBC. It’s simply stunning as you’d expect. Overview Tom Hanks narrates a 10-episode television event from the executive producers of Planet Earth, exploring the extraordinary worlds and wildlife of North and South America. Scored by composer Hans...

Pub and sporting event bans for criminals instead of the pokey. . Impossible to police? I’d say so. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/mar/05/bans-from-pubs-and-social-events-could-be-alternative-to-prison-minister-says

Showing tonight at the Connaught in Worthing. For those interested. Along with Black Flag, Bad Brains and others Ian Mackaye shaped the hardcore punk scene as frontman for Minor Threat before forming Fugazi. One of my favourite punk bands. Anyway, it’s on tonight and I shall be there.

If anyone is struggling to find an NHS one, Lancing Dental Care books are open for new NHS registrations until 14 March. Just been in there for my bi-annual check up. Same as usual; All fine, 3 minutes, £27 please and thank you. My dentist puts my good teeth down to frequent trips to the...

I think this is very mean. But is it enforceable? We all had to start somewhere and this is a safe place to learn, I think. There are three cars in total in that car park right now. Why not let Learners in? Or are they a menace? Discuss…

One of the things I enjoyed about paying my monthly dues was no adverts. I almost gave it up a month or so ago but thought better of it as I hate adverts in any form. However, these last 48 hours, NSC on mobile has been almost unusable for me with nagverts and pop ups and things that send me...

We were dealing with them in town a lot last night. From the two morons standing outside Brighthelm Spoons chanting ; “You’re going down with Palace” This was after the match. We are 2nd they are what, 19th? To the group of about 8 or 9 lads, harrassing the promo girls at clubs and making...

..everyone. On international women’s day earlier in the year my workplace invited all the female members of staff into the office and had a tea party with cake and photos etc.. Today, on international mens day….we all got reminded to confirm our shifts or lose them. 🤣🤣 Have a good one...

I quite enjoy going for breakfast/coffee of a morning on my days off, with friends or happy to go solo. It’s nice, relaxing. Increasingly I find myself having to move tables or even down my coffee and leave the whole place. Why? People having full on work zoom or teams meetings. It’s so...

Tea and toast. Wouldn’t think of having toast without a cuppa. What goes together? Doesn’t have to be food related.

One of my first crushes. Sad to hear this news. https://news.sky.com/story/teri-garr-who-starred-in-tootsie-and-young-frankenstein-dies-aged-79-13244168

May have found my new underdog to cheer on… “Perched on a hill overlooking the tip of Cornwall with the Atlantic stretching far beyond, Mousehole AFC is a world away from top-flight football. The most westerly club in the English leagues is staffed mainly by volunteers, is financed by a...

They really don’t make them like this anymore. His autobiography is a read and a half. In 1999, he famously refused an order from his US commander to intercept Russian forces when they entered Kosovo without Nato's agreement. "I'm not going to start the Third World War for you," he is...

I know it def has been discussed before but could not find a specific comic thread. Nevertheless, I came across these today in the Sally Army shop in Lancing. A fantastic charity shop btw. I recall many of them but not The Broons. It’s made by the porridge gobblers so may not have made it doon...
