Hi all For the past couple of years, when not being distracted by all things Albion and NSC, I've been attempting to eke out a living (or at least a partial living) as a freelance writer. As some of you will know, that's easier said than done. My "thing", such as it is, is cooking without...

Enjoying the direction the various music threads are taking at the moment, and I'm guessing there are a few fellow 6 Music devotees among those posting. For regular listeners, what are your favourite shows on the network? I'm basically an ABL man (Anyone But Lamacq) - at least now the Edith...

Promoted to Home Office minister in today's Government reshuffles. In case you needed any further reason to vote the current coalition out in 2015.

Good interview with Adam Virgo by a Bristol Rovers-supporting blogger. http://markmcburney.wordpress.com/ Hope he finally manages to get over his injuries and has another few years in the professional game.

Interesting interview with the other Pole In Goal by Amy Lawrence, who also wrote the excellent piece on the Albion in Saturday's paper. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/jan/29/wojciech-szczesny-arsenal-defence Thought there were a few interesting parallels with us, especially the stuff...

... Sorry if fixtures.

Perhaps not in the same creative league as the cartoon match reports of the magnificent htfc-world.com, but it'll be worth keeping an eye on nufc.com for their response to tomorrow's game - always well-researched, funny and not too one-eyed, though with an understandable black and white focus...

Hope this doesn't contravene any NSC policies on promotion/fundraising - happy to move/edit as needed if so. My good mate Barney Douglas was interviewed by Jonathan Agnew on BBC Test Match Special earlier today about his film project Warriors, a documentary about a group of Maasai who have...

...and ban all cyclists, OAPs and mobility scooter users from it. Those contravening the ban should receive the death penalty. Just bumped into Glenn Murray, who thinks it's a brilliant idea and will only come back to the Albion if such a supermarket is built. Gus Poyet has confirmed he will...

I know this has been discussed on other threads, but I'm in a spot, and would welcome any bright ideas. For various reasons, I'm unable to leave Edinburgh until Sunday morning, so my only means of getting to Cardiff is to fly into Bristol on Easyjet (flight arrives at 11.05am). I know the...

Respect due to my mum... She was shopping in Newcastle on Saturday, and was sitting having a coffee with her sister when someone mentioned that John Prescott was outside. She asked where he was going and found out he was doing a press conference later that day. Thinking to herself that her...

Hello. I've been following the many and varied NSC feuds with some interest, and am beginning to feel a little left out. So I was wondering if anyone would like the role of my arch nemesis, in an Ernest/Beach Hut style. Unfortunately this doesn't come naturally to me, as I am quite affable and...

I did say this was a great website - I emailed Biffa last week, and check out what they've done. They've even put a link to NSC. www.nufc.com

Got a rare smile earlier on today. Yesterday morning (when life seemed much simpler), I read the following on the generally superb unofficial Newcastle United website, www.nufc.com, in their preview of the forthcoming Leicester match: "The rotten Trevor Benjamin remains cast out, on loan at...

Help me out here - does it look like the match will go ahead? I'm seeing matches called off all over the country, but was reading on the ever-up-to-date official site about the pitch cover and how it was going to save the day. Anyone in or around Brighton who could give me a weather update...

I'll be in the Queens Arms on Frederick Street for the Plymouth match tomorrow. Jambo Seagull should be there too, along with a few of my mates and my dad (another lifelong Albion fan). I popped in there last night for "research" purposes, and was told that they were definitely showing the...

...shouldn't be allowed, I think they're lovely biscuits.

Apologies if I'm duplicating anything that BHAlba folk have already done, but is anyone up for watching the Plymouth game somewhere in Edinburgh? I've vaguely discussed this with Jambo Seagull, although I don't know for certain if he's able to make it. Anyone else fancy it? And any thoughts on...

Looks like he's upset Micky somehow - any ideas? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/leicester_city/3400853.stm They've also signed Steve Guppy for the rest of the season, meaning that Brooker's got even less chance of playing (though he was on the bench last night) - could we...
