What’s Hot

The Tanner Report: Birmingham 1 Fulham 4

After the defeat at Blackpool, which was merited, the boys were back on track and atop the Championship with a decisive thumping of Birmingham.

Seagulls soar

Whenever I look at the Premier table, which I admit to doing quite often, what do I see? Brighton in sixth place. Above Spurs and well above Arsenal, both well supported down here. Admittedly our 3 wins over Burnley, Watford and Brentford could not be classed as against top opposition – and [...]

White Lotus

White Lotus, a HBO production on Sky Atlantic, has been the success story of the summer and I can see why as it’s topical, well-observed and funny. The White Lotus is a high end hotel in Hawaii which attracts privileged, self -absorbed white American guests varying in their awfulness. The [...]

Emma Raducanu [...]

My art week

Yesterday I went to the home of my art tutor for lunch. Although we have a common interest in art conversation with her and her husband, a jazz drummer who has played with many of the greats, is wide ranging. She likes to talk of high-end dining, travel and her family and always comes up with some [...]

Yet more plans adrift

For the second day of my friends’ visit I had decided to take them to Devil’s Dyke, a local beauty spot which John Constable painted and described as the grandest view on earth. It has commanding views over Sussex and beyond. Sadly there was a sea fret which created a pea souper that meant one [...]

The upsurge in chess

There has been an upsurge in chess for 2 reasons; the success of the Netflix series The Queen’s Gambit and more playing on chess sites like chess.com on the internet during the pandemic. A few years ago I played in the RAC chess club and on our board one courteous banker launched, as a whim and [...]
