    BA global IT system failure

    You're right there is no way a problem should ground the entire fleet but if they're running out of one data centre with no redundancy it's perfectly plausible that this could have happened. If this is the case the CTO best book themselves a cab pretty sharpish. I came back from India on BA...

    *** The unofficial home brewing thread ***

    I have my first stout just about to go into bottles tomorrow. The recipe is a clone of Brewdogs Jet Black Heart. 30 days in the bottle without breaking one open is going to be struggle.

    Investments for Beginners

    The first questions to ask yourself is how long you want to invest for and what outcome you want from it. Are you investing for retirement? House deposit? Think about your appetite for risk as well. How would you feel if you invested £1000 and in the first six months lost £200. A 20% fall in...

    Peregrine Falcon at The Amex

    I lived in Morden for years and we used to get the green Parakeets on our bird feeders all the time. You'd get dozens of them around Mitcham Golf Course in the evenings. I've never seen them this far south. I didn't realise we got red kites down here.

    Nostalgia - Old Restaurants and Bars in Brighton

    Sampsons in Kemp Town was a regular for birthday treats. If it was still going now it would making an absolute fortune. As would the coffee roasters that was on Sydney Street. The Gloucester where I pulled the now Mrs Branson and of course the Escape. I remember standing at the bar age 16...

    Stupid drivers

    Definitely not local if they used their indicators. The other way to tell whether they're local to mid Sussex is whether they vary their speed above 40 mph irrespective of the speed limit.

    favourite local beer

    Middle Farm is a good shout. I was there last weekend and they have beer from 29 different Sussex breweries. Arundel Gold is very tasty. Try some of the brews from Brighton Beir. They're doing some good stuff. Also Gunns Brewery. If you're over Haywards Heath way pop into Grape And Grain they...

    Southern Rail STRIKE details

    Sorry if this has been mentioned but had anyone noticed the appearance of blue overalled security staff at Haywards Heath station? At 6.30 I don't often see southern staff on the platform but there's frequently security.

    How to get BEATEN UP at school

    And that would have been just the teachers in my day. I would loved to have seen the look on Dewi Vaughns face if he'd seen those four wander across the field in the mid 80's.

    Well Done Wales

    The last time England did anything really useful was Euro 96. It was no coincidence that this was the year of the dentist chair and the vilification of the team by the UK press. They bonded and generated a team spirit. Look at the Netherlands who serially underachieve. Training camp fights and...

    Southern Rail STRIKE details

    It appears that that the Rt Hon Fatty Soames was at the same meeting. Here is his missive: At a meeting today with the Chairman and Executives of Govia Thameslink Railway [GTR], Sir Nicholas Soames and many other colleagues who have constituents using the Brighton Mainline and East Grinstead...

    Southern Rail STRIKE details

    The Thameslink from Haywards Heath at 6.42 was four instead of eight carridges...except the one that wasn't working making it only three. Thanks for that. The other thing to throw into this mess is that when we all fall into line behind Boris and Farrage in a few weeks time the government will...

    SASTA - what an absolute shower

    Southern surpassed even there usual level of genius this morning. My key card has stopped working. I go to the desk at the station and after three minutes of silence she confirmed that it contained my annual season ticket. "Can you give me a new one" which I thought was not an unreasonable...
