Jump The Gun in Gardner Street. It's part-owned by Martin Freeman's brother (who also used to be in Frazier Chorus. I know Lancing well, it's sort of the rougher end of Worthing, where I grew up.

Lancing slappers are notorious, ask Shane Duffy. He pulled one of Lancing's finest in a nightclub in Brighton a few years back.

"I'm Shane Duffy"

"Who?"

"Google me"


Yes, he really did say that. And when he got back to hers, he asked if she had a swimming pool. Hahahahahaha!

Worthing is exactly where the in laws are. I was down that way last summer. Jump the Gun sounds like the one! Is it still open then?

Also you say "rougher end of Worthing"??

It was Lancing where we lived, didn't particularly like it & we only stayed 2 years

There is a decent Indian in Worthing just down from the Warwick, can't remember the name

The shop is available online. Also worth checking out Peggs & Son online too. Another Brighton shop.

It's all relative but Worthing's very genteel compared with the likes of Crawley or Portsmouth. House prices in Offington, Salvington, Goring, Highdown, Heene, Ferring reflect that.

I don't mind it to be fair, decent pubs with alright prices, I lived in Portsmouth for a bit. The only thing I couldn't get my head round in Worthing was the abundance of smackheads.


I'll have a look online, I'm not sure they will deliver to Germany though, which is a shame.

There's a reason for the smackheads. Brighton Council own a load of houses in Worthing and have a habit of shipping out the ones they don't want anymore to Worthing. Problem is even more acute in Hastings.

Maybe the Mahaan? I think they moved but used to be on the corner of Steyne Gardens opposite Warwick Street
Mrs C thinks that might be it Brown sign with white letters? Le Spice she reckons is green with yellow letters (She also has a shocking memory)

I like the way you neatly sidestepped Steven mentioning that “Lancing slappers are notorious” in response to you revealing that Mrs C is from down that way :LOL:

Shane Duffy shagged Jordan a couple of years ago. Says it all about the bloke’s taste. Must’ve been like throwing a sausage down a corridor.....

Bit harsh on Eddie Jordan, that? He’s always been entertaining on the BBC‘s Formula One coverage?

She wasn't born anywhere near Lancing

My mother ended up in Worthing. Fitness freaks dream, flat as f*** & everyones running or cycling.

Agree on the lowlifes though, you can sit in Worthing surveying the scenery thinking what a beautiful place only for the peace to be shattered by a bunch of smackheads kicking the shit out of each other on the promenade.

You're not wrong about Hastings. I always had this perception of it being an idyllic seaside town until I stayed there for business a couple of years back. What I found was a run down shithole with wall to wall smackheads. Couldn't believe how they could let such an historic town become that, the council's should hang their heads in shame.

Funny old World.

One manager's 'long ball' is another manager's 'direct approach' is another managers 'hoof'.

Merely an observation.

Aren’t they all the same.

Not if you watch match of the day.

Half of Liverpool's goals last season involved long balls, but you'll never have heard "and they've hoofed it up to Salah again".

And old favourite was the "trademark Gerrard cross-field pass" :LOL:

If West Brom do it it's a typical route one Allardyce ball, if Liverpool do it it's an incisive defence splitting pass.

Would you say either Murray or Baldocks ball came from 'long ball' or 'hoof'?

Both set-up passes were 30 yards long and from beyond the halfway line.

That's about the same as a cross from the wing into the box.

David Beckham was a fine exponent of it also.

It was never a „long ball“, inevitably it was some mumbling about pin-point accuracy and quarterbacks.

With DB though, it was a weapon. Whereas Gerrard lost his legs and got forced into that Liverpool midfield despite not being very good because of who he was.

If Michael Carrick played in that role for Liverpool that season they'd have won the league

Liverpool fans genuinely called it diagonal passes last season :LOL: Football snobbery tars some managers but not others depending on who they like and think is cool. Just got to roll with it and remember Football is a game and not entertainment.

Gullit said the same thing about Wimbledon, that it wasn't lucky, and was calculated percentage play which worked.

If you have the right players and execute it properly it does. For our first on Saturday Bong put it straight where Murray was going. Puts the opposition straight on the back foot because they don't see someone running with it or the aimless passing in your own half to get back into shape.

When Ham Salad Eyes does it and when Megson did it it was aimless punting at nothing though, HOOOOOOFFFF

Similarly Chris, Glenn Hoddle never banged a ball long during his career, he quite specifically played long passes.

There is a difference between playing a long pass to a player who has made a run in anticipation of a long pass and just aimlessly hoofing the ball up the pitch and hoping to win the second ball Allerdyce style
