What’s Hot

A Brighton sporting day

If you ask someone to say what is Brighton famous for the answer you would probably get would be the Pier, Seafront, Lanes, Royal Pavilion and the gay capital of Europe. Sport would probably not feature yet with the Amex football stadium, Hove Cricket Ground, Brighton Racecourse and the greyhound [...]

The Flemish House/Georges Simenon

Georges Simenon is one of those authors many have heard of but less have read. Older readers will recalling actor Rupert Davies definitively in the role of the bulky French detective in his trademark raincoat and pipe. A good friend of mine and the Rust presented me with a copy of The Flemish [...]

The Golfing Weekend

There was much joy in the Pargiter household when thanks to Jeremy Chapman in the Racing and Football Outlook I had both winners in the weekend tournies: Dustin Johnson in the BMW at Crooked Stick and Joost Luiten in the KLM Dutch Open. DJ is an impassive player who robotically hits greens in [...]

Brighton 0 Brentford 2

After my missus read my piece last Friday she said “What sort of reporter are you, you failed to notice the platform broke down. Stick to the day time job.” I got more info from the Argus and other 1901 members none of whom were allowed into the viewing platform once it finally [...]

Relatively Speaking

I have written before that critics do not take Alan Ayckbourn as seriously as they should as he is viewed as commercial and popular. Having suffered through Pinter’s No Man’s Land at this very theatre I found two hours of cleverly constructed farce a great source of entertainment and [...]

A NETWORKING EVENT

Call me old fashioned if you will but I do believe parties were much better 30 years ago. I received an invitation to a networking event held yesterday at the i360 for those who renewed membership to Brighton and Hove Albion’s 1901 club. The 1901 club has various levels of membership. I am in [...]

Drive he said

When ex-premier Jim Callaghan retired from office he was asked what he would miss the most and he said a driver. It’s truly one of life’s great luxuries to be collected and delivered door to door avoiding all the stress of driving and other means of transport. A luxury has become a [...]

28-50 and Kitty Fisher

Yesterday I visited an old favourite and a new recommendation. I’ve been going to 28-50 in Marylebone Lane for years and it’s never let me down. The two dishes I fancied, gazpacho and pork belly, were on the fixed lunch menu. Both delicious. Gazpacho can be cloying but here the fresh [...]

The Unfortunate Englishman/John Lawton

One of the attractions of Amazon is their recommendations based on the premise that  if you enjoyed reading A, you might well enjoy reading B. Generally this works for me in one of the genres I most enjoy: the espionage novel. I was introduced to Charles Cumming who has brought espionage into the [...]

Aladdin

Yesterday I went to see Aladdin the musical. It was a slick production as you might expect from Disney which bore little relation to the pantomime version. For a start it was set not in China but in Aqaba and the flavour was Arabian rather than Oriental. The costumes and sets were stunning and [...]
