    [Technology] Computer disposal question

    Over the years when my PC has slowed beyond any reasonable use or just crapped out I've put the boxes in my garage wondering what to do with them. Clearing out the garage at the weekend I found 2 boxes and an old laptop which had become defunct. What is the best way of disposing or recycling...

    [News] Drink / Drugs checks

    Got pulled over last night near Southlands hospital for the annual drink drive checks which are often done at this time of the year. No issues at all as I don't partake in either and the police were very friendly, but upon chatting to them they said they had already nicked 8 people for being...

    [Albion] January Additions

    After last summer's spending it's unlikely we'll be spending big or anything in January but with our weakness at the back surely a defensive addition or two must be a consideration, even though we rarely do much in this window. We have Gomez coming in, and we all expect two or three to go out...

    [Albion] Hospitality Query

    Hi guys In the new year I want to bring my father out to a game to celebrate a big birthday for him and was thinking of splurging a bit of cash to treat him and myself to some corporate hospitality. Has anyone tried Bruno's, The Goldstone Lounge , HB's, or Mullery's ? As a one off is anyone...

    [Albion] Ground extensions - that old chestnut!

    I know this has been brought up in the past and has often been quietly dismissed by the club, BUT now that we're riding the crest of a wave both on the pitch and financially off it, is it worth seriously considering whether the North and South stands could have second tiers put on them...

    [Albion] Sneaky George 1995

    Just popped into Sainsbury's at Lyons Farm this morning but who should I bump into but the brilliant 'Sneaky George'. What a great guy, happy to chat, looked really fit and well, and apparently does some ambassadorial role for us as well as The Hammers. I reminded him of his infamous goal from...

    [Technology] Electric Car advice

    My daughter is interested in getting a new (ish) car and wants to consider an EV but has little knowledge of longevity, insurance costs, and mileage range. Has anyone had an EV for a number of years, and if so how does the battery life hold up on repeated charges. A former colleague of mine had...

    [Music] RSD 23 - Record Store Day

    I know RSD has become bit of a cliche over the years having lost some of the original intention of promoting independent record shops, to become a far more commercial exercise in over inflating prices of so called 'limited or rare' editions of certain records, but did anyone this year pick up...

    [Football] Fixture congestion

    Pleased that the season is going so well but was wondering about the pile up of fixtures we're going to have, especially in the likely event of us getting past Grimsby and to the Semi's of the FA Cup. Newcastle away is still to be arranged, our Man Utd home game (scheduled for the Quarter final...

    [Football] FFP - what's the point?

    Just reading the below article that relates to Uefa's likely sanctions to 8 clubs in European competition, but if the same is applied to the Premier League it's hardly surprising the richest clubs don't abide by the rules. Fines levied can also be paid by directors of the club rather than...

    [Albion] Sasa Kalajdzic - striker rumour

    Apologies if this has been mentioned before. I see the Southampton local paper has us as well as Saints 'reportedly' linked to this guy? Would he be worth a punt? - It does though appear that half the Prem have been looking at this guy according to links I've seen. "STRIKER giant Sasa...
