Sussex win – but only just

Classic fm

The celebration of Classic FM’s 25th anniversary was met by a distinctly cool and critical article in the Telegraph. The writer complained that it blurred the distinction of classical music, the presenters were too anxious to stress that the listener should use music to relax, and the [...]

A close shave

Yesterday I had lunch at le Bistro Nantais, currently Daffer’s fave Brighton restaurant though situated in Hove. Who should walk in but Brighton’s most skilful player Anthony  Knockaert. He may be skilful, but he is yet to score, nor has anyone else in the team. Chris Hughton has [...]

Gambler’s luck

Going into  the final day of the Northern Trust I was well poised to a return to form. Jordan Spieth my main pick was some 4 shots clear and my top five choices Patrick Cantley, Kevin Chappell and Patrick Reed  were well up the Leaderboard. Sadly it was not to be.

The Tanner Report: Ipswich 0 Fulham 2

Three seasons ago I took Bob Tickler’s son Jamie and his mother to his first Fulham game. He was a flag waver welcoming both teams on the hallowed turf. Fulham lost 2-0 and Ipswich made the play-offs. I don’t have that Fulham team before me but am fairly certain that not one was playing [...]

A trying day

Yesterday I had a meeting with the editor of The Rust as he wanted me to contribute a regular article on business.

At ther moment gay drama is heralded but it was not always thus. La Cage aux Folles with its anthem I am What I am made a huge contribution. However it should not be forgotten that drag acts have existed for centuries in theatre. In Japan there were the “Onigita” professional male cross [...]

The Glyndebourne Festival ends this Sunday. I have seen four productions but the two I have not reviewed which I saw this week were Clemenza di Tito and Don Pasquale. Clemenza di Tito is the last opera Mozart wrote on the occasion of the coronation of the Holy Roman Emperor. It’s not one of [...]

Frenchman’s Creek/ Daphne du Maurier

Frenchman’ s Creek is Daphne du Muriel’s only historical romance published in 1941. It reflects her ability to convey a sense of location, character and emotion but above all her competence in telling a story. The capacity to plot is one which critics rarely acknowledge but is probably [...]

Fiorentina file/ Inter 3 Fiorentina 0

On Sunday evening Alan, Ivan, Michel and I exchange emails and texts on our results. Only Michel could report a win, as OGC Nice beat Guincamp. Fulham lost 1-0, Brighton 2-0 and la Viola 3-0. We lost 7 players over the summer and Kalinic our main striker is see to join AC Milan. It was strange to [...]
