    [Football] The all day EFL games thread

    I think the original post suggested Derby and Luton lacked that intangible football quality "glamour." There has then been a discussion about the superior qualities of Brighton and Brentford as places rather than sources of football glamour (henceforward, xFG). This misses the reality that...

    Bit like Albion Brentford?

    [Music] Happy 80th, the one the only: Ritchie Blackmore

    Superb- though I never noticed the occasional Sheldon Cooper expressions before! Plus Coverdale before the LA glow up - thanks for posting.

    [Music] Happy 80th, the one the only: Ritchie Blackmore

    Basically, he's an evil genius!

    [Music] Happy 80th, the one the only: Ritchie Blackmore

    I couldn't pick a winner, but he quickly gets on the shortlist with Jimmy Page, and then I start getting distracted by people like Steve Hackett or Guthrie Govan and then think maybe just do a top 20!

    [Brighton] How great is this sunny spell

    Interesting. I had 14 on Monday and 14.1 on Tuesday. 7 panels facing SSE. I think only got about 14 in the whole of December 😆

    [Humour] Wot, no April Fool threads?

    As my baker brother has just been made redundant by Sainsbury's after 36 years for this exact reason, I am failing to see the funny side. Sad thing is, three quarters of customers won't be able to tell the difference, so Sainsbury's will get away!

    [Albion] Deluded Leeds (an EFL club) fans

    Nope, there was a big group on their forum who were convinced he stayed because he had more chance of winning something at Ipswich than here. Maybe they meant next year's EFL Championship? To be fair, another group of wiser heads tried to point out they would need several premier League...

    [Albion] Deluded Leeds (an EFL club) fans

    Many fans from many clubs talk like this. When we tried to get McKenna from Ipswich last year, their forum was full of sages who were convinced he stayed with them because he had more chances of making Europe -in their first season in the Prem- than he would at Brighton. Nothing to do with him...

    [Food] Curries in Seaford

    Stuff all these recommendations. Go to Steamworks for a few four quid ales and you won't know what you are eating!

    [Finance] Council tax '25 up 5.03%

    The pot holes are the result of inadequate funding for road maintenance. If roads and paths were properly maintained ( the council has a very clear maintenance cycle) roads would not pothole with the frequency they do. A stitch in time saves nine? In consequence of the "cut everything, they...

    [Finance] Council tax '25 up 5.03%

    Maybe just read Bodian and Dick's comments above? Where have you got the £10k figure from? As with all local government strategies these days, everything is stitched together on little random pots of money for this and that plop into the coffers after bids to central government. If the bid...

    [Finance] Council tax '25 up 5.03%

    I saw the phrase "simple maths" and realised there wasn't really any point trying discuss complicated multifactorial problems. Oh, and the rewilding has only just started. I don't think planting " fast growing pine trees" is really the concept for this area.
  14. Q

    [Finance] Council tax '25 up 5.03%

    So you have actual figures of the cash rolling in from Waterhall before and real future projections, and have you researched the future carbon "Locked-in" or are you just demonstrating nineteenth hole philosophy? Waterhall is now also hosting and expanding a growing variety of other sports which...
