What’s Hot

And the Academy award goes to….

The whole new wave movement which generated Jean Luc Godard, Francos Truffaut and Alain Resnais to name but three emanated from the film review magazine Les Cahiers du Cinema.

Carry On Barging (Channel 5 Friday 8-30)

When I joined the Rust I made it clear I was not going to review celebrity/ reality tv programmes as I do not watch them. However a few years ago I met Lorraine Chase at a health farm of all places (as she is so slender) and we kept in touch. On a whim I emailed her yesterday and she replied with [...]

Brighton 1 Ipswich 1

Few Seagull fans would deny that a draw was a fair reflection of the play. Ipswich took an early lead when skipper Luke Chambers bravely got his head to a trickily flighted free kick from Tom Lawrence whose crosses from the right perpetually caused problems.

Pargie’s sporting weekend

Alan Tanner invited me to Fulham v Wigan on Saturday. Bob Tickler’s godson Jamie now goes regularly with him. He (Jamie) advised that I should back Scott Malone to score any time as he always scores for Jamie. He duly did so but in his own net and had to explain why this does not count. I [...]

The Tanner Report: Fulham 3 Wigan 2

Calamitous defensive lapses nearly cost Fulham three points against Wigan and almost certainly if these persist a play-off position.

Meet the new CEO of Sussex CCC

Last night I was invited to a reception to meet the new CEO of Sussex CCC Rob Andrew. Although he has a first class century to his name, he is better known for the oval rather than the white or red round ball. After a distinguished career as fly half for Wasps, Newcastle Falcons and England he [...]

Fiorentina File: Roma 4 Fiorentina 0

As Roma have won all 10 home games this season and we never seem to play well at the Olimpico be it Lazio or Roma I was not at all confident of a result. I was correct.
