Yesterday I was out in London and saw an altercation between two elderly tourists and a young woman at a venue - I don't want to say where because the person was so intent on getting publicity I want nothing to do with it if it gets further awareness. The long and short of it is though, she...

Both myself and Mrs Exile have employers that have good protected income if we get seriously ill, and “death in service” payments that would mean the other would be financially secure for the remainder of the mortgage term and beyond… As a result, we’ve not got separate critical illness or life...

As per the title...you know that video that gets played before games - the "it just gets better and better and better" one? Is it available anywhere like YouTube? I'd love to share it with an Albion supporting mate who moved to Canada pre-Amex and has never been to the ground, and with no...

Just seen Niclas Fullkrug's very angry interview after their result at the weekend, and he's definitely not a happy sausage. With us, and them, both having players publicly calling out a lack of togetherness and not fighting for each other it's going to add something to Saturday with both teams...

Looking to make a gift box for a friend who is exiled from Sussex, and fill it with just Sussex things. Is there a shop that sells locally produced stuff like honey, chocolate, apple juice, and anything else? Doesn't have to just be food - candles, anything really. I know some of the farm shops...

I noticed the "best song you've heard today" thread has 1m views which is quite something so had a look for the most popular thread. Anyone know why the top two have got so many, especially with so few posts? What happened in October 2003? Or is it just a system error?

At one of our aways this season I was in close proximity to a vlogger. At Old Trafford last season I was very near Ronald and barely noticed him filming, but this other one was a detriment to the experience of the game. Constant commentary while he filmed himself (and occasionally the game) that...

I don't think there's a thread of old footage of Brighton (& Hove), but apologies if there is. I thought it might be nice to collate films in one place though, there's some great things around. No real definition of "old" but perhaps if we go pre-2008 so it's not smartphone footage of which...

Age has never bothered me at all, I actually enjoy getting older though for various reasons I don't particularly mark my birthday beyond what I have to do so Mini-Exile doesn't think it's weird when she celebrates hers. I reach 50 in a few weeks though and I'm really, really noticing that the...

Reading the Amateur Drinking thread, and with the Bell cheeses at Work thread being a favourite of mine, just wondered if there's some unholy Venn diagram crossover opportunity for tales of the worst/most cringesome/most outrageous work Christmas parties. My contribution: there was a place...

Apologies if a thread for this already exists but I couldn’t find it if so. I’ll get it going with this one from yesterday

The people in the house opposite us planted some bamboo screening a few years ago. It’s adjacent to the fence at the end of our garden, which we apparently own, and the bamboo is now ludicrously tall. It’s causing a couple of issues. In this wind it looks dangerously close to bringing down the...

Apologies if fixtures but not seen this mentioned. https://www.tickettailor.com/events/lewesfootballclub2/1448791

Are subs allowed to warm up on the pitch during passages of play? It happens every game but I don’t think I’ve seen them so far on the pitch before. A few around me found it worthy of comment during the match so thought I’d ask if / how it’s allowed. It wasn’t just Chelsea players, a few...

The efforts of the club to get some songs going appears to have take a troubling turn

Oops

A few years ago Guy Ritchie did a Nike advert that was (IMHO) much better than the usual: He's now done a boxing promo that is...interesting. Would like to see his take on cricket or rugby or cycling next, I reckon all could be great for a different take.

I need to buy a new (used) car and not being a car person I'm approaching it with dread. The last car I got a couple of years ago was from a well established and apparently successful dealership and was so stressful it ruined a Christmas for Mrs Exile and ended only when we started to explore...

This is incredible, only just been reading about it. Ryan Burge got a pilot licence just to fly over Vale Park mocking their relegation a few weeks ago because Micky Adams upset him in 2013. A bell cheese at work but also an inspirational level of delayed pettiness...

This might be a bug in market data - it's showing everywhere but presumably they all use the same source...if it's not a glitch though this feels like it might huge for the global financial system. Berkshire-Hathway prop up a lot, and I think a lot of what they hold is used as collateral too...
