What’s Hot

Life goes on for some

As Bernie Ecclestone continues to wrestle with the business problems of Formula One – rumours still persist that up to three of the smaller F1 teams may boycott today’s US Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, later today after two went into administration last week – it is perhaps worth remembering [...]

Fiona Woolf

Some 25 years ago I had a gig in international promotion for the Law Society’s international committee chaired by Fiona Woolf. We became friends and used to have what I like to call a power breakfast at the Connaught. She struck me as forceful but with a certain engaging vivacity. I was not [...]

The Tanner Report

After 45 minutes, with Fulham two up, Kit Symons must have felt that the job was his permanently but Derby went on to score 5 goals in 21 minutes and his grip on the position was loosened. I hear that the decision will not be rushed. That way the pressure on Kit to win remains whilst the new owner [...]

About par for the course

Last night I attended my first-ever police liaison group meeting. I had better explain. About a year ago I was coming out of my car park when a couple of guys about my age (60 plus) stopped me for a chat. They were ‘public’ members of the local police liaison group and were ‘walking the [...]

PGA punting

I do not know if Steve Palmer of the Racing Post reads my column but it might be, as last Sunday he wrote that he has revised his betting philosophy with smaller staking. A small stake for Steve is £100 – twice what I would bet collectively – but he says it’s taken the strain [...]

A la Colthard: Stanmer House

Set in rolling acres of parkland close to Sussex University opposite the Amex Stadium, the restaurant in the main house offers reliable fare at reasonable prices with a rather country house elegance of antique tables and gallery rooms with fine portraits. [...]

Albion assessed

Brighton is a hilly place but our football and indeed the whole club is flat. I largely blame Sami Hyppia for this. Whilst it is true we have sold our best players you expect a manager to build a team which he has failed to do – notably in the striker department. We have now gone 9 games [...]

The Tanner report

Although I still have reservations whether Kit Symons is the best-qualified candidate to achieve promotion he has certainly turned things round and will surely go from temporary to permanent manager. The two questions are the length of his contract and the necessity of a football director. Not only [...]

Breaking out

After 14 days of torture in the fitness centre I was ready to break out with a few days in my beloved Marylebone. I met with the family investment advisor who would benefit from the same course as me in diet and exercise but otherwise offered useful advice in these turbulent times and markets. In [...]

The Manuka Kitchen and the Pass

On Tuesday and yesterday I ate at two very different restaurants. The first was Manuka Kitchen, a small restaurant in the Fulham Road, which served modern British cuisne to a high standard. The second was The Pass, a Michelin-starred restaurant set in a English country house hotel near Horsham. At [...]
