The Tanner Report on the last rites

Relegation duly happened last night at Vicarage Road where Fulham were crushed 4-1 by Watford. Fulham more than held up in a first half which ended on even terms and Zambo Anguissa had his best game yet but once again goals were too easily conceded and the home side ran out easy winners. Now the [...]

The Mavericks

A friend of mine gave me a book called The Original Stan the Man, the autobiography of Stan Bowles. It’s mainly a series of anecdotes about his gambling habits but of interest as he was part of group of mavericks that no longer exist in the game. Their period was the 197os and featured Bowles, [...]

Fully institutionalised

We are now all settled which raises another Rust travel debate as to whether you return to the same place or explore new ones. I am in the latter category and for that reason was never attracted to a second overseas home. Aside from the commitment you are subject to currency fluctuations and local [...]

The Tanner Report: Fulham 0 Manchester City 2

Where do Fulham go from here with relegation inevitable? “Go from here” are the operative words as we are going to lose our loanees – Rico, Fosu-Mensah, Chambers, Nordveidt, Markovic, Babel, Vietto – and in all likelihood also Alex Mitrovic and possibly Tom Cairney and Ryan [...]

Promenade Des Anglais

As our group strolled the Promenade Des Anglais yesterday morning in the brightest of weather with a turquoise sea I was sad that our cycling correspondent Guy Danaway was not with us as there was a terrific exhibition of photographs on it called The Tour in Nice to celebrate Le Grand Depart from [...]

Nice

I too was pleased to return to Nice. As travel correspondent I have travelled far and widely but for the variety of each resort the Riviera takes some beating. It was in Edwardian times a winter destination but the story goes that it all started when an English traveller did not venture into Italy [...]

Pleased to be back

Over recent years nothing excites me more travel-wise than to return to Nice in spring. In the 1970s and 80s I felt this way about New York. It was a city of vitality and energy living on its commercial, financial and sexual edge. At Plato’s Republic and the flop houses anything and everything [...]

Nice awaits

Michael de Vacri From the mayorial office to the stall holders in the Cours Saleya there is excitement for the visit of Monsiuer Bob (Tickler), la Daffers and the National Rust troupe for their annual April pilgrimage to Nice. It will take our minds off the violence of the yellow vest anarchists [...]

The giving of presents

A good friend of mine recently gave me a photo frame to which you can download digital photos. It was given with the very best of intentions. I’m an old fashioned sort of guy who likes an instruction manual not, as was the case here, an app. My problems started when I must have tapped in my email [...]

Harold Gilman/Pallant gallery

I cannot disagree with the negative review posted by Francesca on the above exhibition – Gilman review – even though warm interiors in the style of Eduard Vuillard and Gilman’s mentor Walter Sickert are definitely my bag. The problem is that there are several Sickerts in the permanent [...]
