What’s Hot

Palmer , HSBC and Sony

I could hardly wait to read Steve Palmer’s column in the Racing Post yesterday. He has trousered £17,000 after backing Andy Sullivan for the South African Open and Patrick Reed in Hawaii. He even had a double on them both. With a child on the way, just married, loss of nerve and out of [...]

The Tanner Report

I have already written now amazed and disturbed I am by the degree of fan dislike of Bryan Ruiz. Clearly a sensitive flower, it scarcely helps to raise his game if he has to  hear constant criticism from  his own fans. The transfer never really worked out and  joins the list of £10m plus [...]

Film critics

I am not a huge fan of Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo. They are rather too pleased with themselves and listening to them there is more of a banter – and not a very funny one – between them and less of an informed analysis of films. In France film criticism is taken far more seriously. The [...]

In the Apple Store

I belong to the generation that went from no knowledge to Word for Windows overnight and, like many a writer on the Rust, confused by it all. I accept that my p/a Polly can dance over the keyboard effortlessly producing documents, images etc. but when my six year old Godson can work the handset on [...]

Albion assessed

We are all delighted with the start of Chris Hughton. Whereas Sami Hyppia had rather inflexible ideas about how his team should play but the group did not respond, Chris is more pragmatic basing his ideas on the potential of the players. He is very much a players’ manager. We are now unbeaten [...]

The Tanner Report

The 400 Fulham faithful that braved sub-Arctic conditions to see us proceed into the next round of the cup will remember this one for many years. It rather reminded me of a cup game more than 20 years ago when in conditions so awful that, were the two teams not earning from a Sky game, it would [...]

Two winners backed

I can scarcely wait for Steve Palmer’s column this Sunday as he picked both the winner of the South African Open – Andy Sullivan- and that of the Hyundai Classic- Patrick Reed. This is some punting though there was reduced field in the latter classic. John Pargitennerr did not even have [...]

A party for locals

Yesterday I gave a party for some 30 people I have met since moving to the South Coast some 9 months ago. Aside from reciprocating hospitality and cementing friendships, I had two other reasons for party giving. The first is that it’s a depressing time of the year and my late mother passed [...]

The Tanner Report

We have not managed a goal in our last 4 games and are by no means secure with 28 points in 18th place. We do have a prolific scorer – 5 in 9 outings- but Matt Smith is striking for Bristol City on loan not us, Ryan Tunnicliffe was called back from Blackburn Rovers and did feature. One player [...]

Palace Pier

The other day at lunch with Daffers, Ivan was shouting the odds for Sussex sport. I will leave this to him. Alice Mansfield observed that in the art field Constable lived and painted in Brighton, Jaques Emile  Blanche, more known for his portraiture, lived and worked in Brighton and was a member [...]
