What’s Hot

The golfing weekend

Rikard Karlberg won the Italian Open in a play off with Martin Kaymer who threw away a 3 shot lead in the back nine with three bogeys. The German has not won since he coasted the US Open in 2014 which is rather odd. Sweden really only has one household name Henrik Stensen but a clutch of lesser [...]

Party time

Yesterday I had my annual bash for locals. This is my third such social since I moved to the coast. I come from a sociable family and all my life recall parties – dinner and cocktail – given by my mother a highly competent hostess. I try to emulate her by getting the basics right of [...]

the Jap victory: a local view

When the sports editor asked me for a piece on what proved an enthralling upset yesterday I felt both inadequate and nervous. Rugby is not a sport I follow but the sports editor said that I know the Brighton sporting scene and could do a vox pop post. I have bored readers before on what a great [...]

View from abroad

I was rather surprised when, as football correspondent with a meagre knowledge of rugby, the sports editor asked me to contribute a piece on England’s victory over Fiji. I am scarcely qualified to speak on the technical stuff but they like to do this view from a different sport on the Rust. I [...]

Reasons to celebrate

As I raised my pint of Harvey’s local brew over a sunlit Hove ground I had three reasons to celebrate. Firstly, Hampshire’s defeat after a contrived declaration by Yorkshire and themselves forfeiting their second innings meant that that our status should be secure. Secondly, Sussex were [...]

A la Colthard: Wright Brothers , Old Brompton Road

Wright Brothers are huge suppliers of fish to the restaurant industry so when they opened their fourth restaurant in Old Brompton Road you could guarantee that the produce would be fresh and tasty. The restaurant used to be one of those intimate French brasseries, la Bouchee, in which I finished up [...]

An Inspector Calls

I have a terrible confession to make: I have never seen a JB Priestley play nor read any of his books nor essays. Whilst reviewing a programme about Churchill’s electoral defeat of 1945, I spoke to Henry Elkins about him. He told me that he was the son of a headmaster from Bradford and [...]

Brighton 1 Hull 0

I’m not a great one for outpouring of public, vicarious grief and bereavement. It seemed to start with the death of Princess Diana. Every decade’s anniversary of a tragedy is remembered though I cannot recall Liverpool doing too much on the anniversary of Heysel when 39 Juventus fans [...]

ITV IN THE SEVENTIES

Sporting Rusters often advocate the seventies as the Golden Age of sports commentary so here I make the claim that it was equally a peerless epoch for tv serial dramas. I chanced upon The Professionals rather by fluke a few months ago. Now it’s a rare day when I do not watch one episode on [...]

The long golfing weekend

Both the European and USPGA are drawing to an end though the latter is enlivened by the $10m Fedex Cup. The feature of the PGA this past few months is the elevation of the form of Jason Day who has won one major and one other event, the Barclays. The only one of that group of 25/26 year olds of [...]
