What’s Hot

A la Colthard/Casa Brasil

The new Marina development which will ultimately comprise 821 apartments, some in a forty storey block, is up running with restaurants along the quayside. It’s quite controversial and certainly expensive with a one bedroom flat costing £461,000, two £530 000 and three nearly £800,000 which [...]

The packaging of football

Yesterday at 9.00am there was a knock on the door from the postman. I was expecting a package from Amazon and left a note on my door that should I be out it could be left outside the door. There was a package there but not the one I ordered. Instead it was a package the size of a box of chocolates [...]

A la Colthard/ Polpo

Polpo is now a chain of restaurants owned by Russell Norman modelled on the Venetian bacero, a back street restaurant serving small plates and young Italian wines. It is not smart but the equivalent of the French restaurant du quarter a kind of Venetian tapas bar. Russell Norman started as a waiter [...]

The Golfing weekend

When I was a kid my hero was Al Geiberger. Don’t ask me why. Perhaps it was his name. Then in 1967 in the Danny Thomas Memphis Classic he did an incredible thing: he shot a 59. He became forever known as Mr 59. Jim Furyk also shot a 59 and yesterday in the Travelers he bettered  this with a [...]

The Championship, Brighton, Sussex CCC and Gay Pride

I had two long conversations with Alan Tanner prior to the Fulham v Newcastle game and after our goalless draw with Derby and shared our views with Pargie  anxious for tips. My view is that the chances of promotion are greatly enhanced by having someone at the helm with form in the  Championship. [...]

The Tanner Report: Fulham 1 Newcastle 0

Although Newcastle garnered all the pre-match publicity with Fulham hardly meriting  a mention in the build up, we played with intelligence and passion to achieve a deserved win.  The conventional view was that Newcastle – who had bought in Dwight Gayle, Matt Ritchie and Mohammed Diame [...]

In search of things past

My late mother used to have a saying that if you are too nostalgic about the past you mortgage your future. I’ve seen in life that one of the characteristics of a positive person is that he/she deletes the past and lives for the moment or the future. Thus it was then with a certain [...]

The Jetty restaurant /Brighton Harbour Hotel

Brighton seafront is getting a makeover. On Thursday the 360 i tower with the highest viewing platform in the UK is unveiled at a cost of £32m. It’s a controversial project but one of its aims is to improve the area between the Pier and the Hove border line which has become run down. [...]

The barbecue

Last night the weather was sufficiently clement to have a barbecue. The barbecue is strange institution as the male of the species takes responsibility for the cooking though, as often as not, the woman prepares the food, the salads and clears it all away. I have been to too many barbecues where I [...]

Sussex v Glamorgan

Yesterday I took Martine, a French friend of Bob Tickler, to her first cricket game. In the taxi to the ground from Brighton to Hove I managed to explain the T20 format, the tensions between the counties and the envisaged new metro T20 competition and the power shift from Lords to the sub-continent [...]
