What’s Hot

Rosie and Smylie

It was a good weekend for Justin Rose who won the UBS Hong Kong Open and Smylie Kaufman who took the Shriners US PGA. It was a good weekend for me as I backed Rose, Matthew Fitzpatrick who finished 3rd and Yang who finished in the top ten, plus Jason Bohn in the top 5 in the Shriners and the 0-0 [...]

The Tanner Report / Fulham 4 Reading 2

When Orlando Sa, once of the Fulham parish, rolled in a second Reading goal after Tom Cairney was dispossessed and Tim Ream made no sort of challenge I would have liked to be a clairvoyant  to read Kit Symons’ mind. He must  surely have thought that time was up not just on his Fulham [...]

A la Colthard : Providores

I have been stood up for various reasons over the years but this week broke new grounds. I invited a heavy hitter, Julian, in the property world for breakfast at the Wolseley. He called if off as his army son was landing a helicopter on his front lawn. “Oh come on, Jules, you can tell Auntie [...]

Uber alles?

Chatting to Bob Tickler the other day on the topic of Internet v personal shopping, he mentioned to me that the council in Brighton are shortly going to decide whether to admit the private cab firm Uber to the city. Licensed taxi cabbies  are of course much against Uber. They argue that the [...]

The Tanner Report: Fulham 1 Leeds 1

Perhaps the best and certainly most stirring aspect of a scrappy match was the support for Leeds. Bearing in mind this once great club that dominated English football under Don Revie now languish in the second tier and this was a Wednesday night there must have been at least 2000 Leeds fans [...]

Brighton 2 Bristol City 1

The Albion made hard work of beating City but did so to stay 4 points clear. We have won all our games by only a one goal margin but it’s a massive improvement from  last season. Praise is due to Chris Hughton for the players he got in and an effective style of play which may not appeal to [...]

Bad Jews/Theatre Royal

One of the  features I most appreciate about the Rust is the approach to review. This is typified by dear young Daffers, DYD as I call her, who rates ambience, greeting, decor, comfort, cost, speed of delivery and payment as much as gastronomy as these are all considerations the diner takes on [...]

The coach potato speaks

Yesterday I was on the couch to watch both rugby quarter finals, the Portuguese  Open won by Andy Sullivan at a canter and Fiorentina lose to Napoli. Like many on the Rust, and not just the rugby section, I’m totally enthralled by the World Cup and watched every quarter final with some [...]

The Tanner Report : Middlesbrough 0 Fulham 0

The noose supposedly round Kit Symons’ neck would have loosened after this goalless draw at The Riverside against high flying Middlesbrough. There has been talk of an assessment by the analytical boys after 12 matches and if such a review shows statistically on previous season’s [...]

Magic of Motown/ Theatre Royal Brighton

I don’t really enjoy nor appreciate tribute bands and rock musicals so I was apprehensive last night about The Magic of Motown. It was a dedication to the great Motown artists of the sixties and seventies, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, Diana Ross and Gladys Knight. Six black [...]
