Up another place after Shrewsbury bin Paul Hurst

Randomly scrolling iPlayer, I found a 1964 version of Hamlet with Christopher Plummer as the melancholy Dane. It's pretty decent with a good supporting cast of Robert Shaw as Claudius, Martin Clunes' dad as Polonius, Donald Sutherland as Fortinbras and, er, Michael Caine as Horatio. Shot at the...

But it's a relevant point. If that 5,000 could be reduced because 500 more people cycled, then the queue is shorter. I mentioned earlier that more people should look at the bus as an option, if 500 more did that, then the queue is shorter still. For reasons that have already been outlined...

No, as mentioned earlier, there was no parking ban for the first few seasons - so it certainly wasn't part of the contract. However, both Coldean and Moulsecoomb had a referendum on the issue and there was an overwhelming majority for a ban: the council's not going to go back on that

It's the cyclist's fault - it's always the cyclist's fault

Yes, you're right. Because I've cycled that way I thought there was a through road but it's for bikes and pedestrians only. It was only an example though. There may be other places for a rank - I'm surprised that there's nowhere, cabbies would do good business on a match day. One thing to bear...

Bowled well in the Gillette final, when he and Barclay were the two spinners. I believe that his first first-class wicket was Barry Richards (albeit after he'd scored a ton)

Sadly, the actor who played the elder son is no longer with us - in fact, he died before Geoffrey Palmer did

How on earth can Derry Girls have aged badly? It's only a couple of years old. Certainly not having it as shite, I thought it was the funniest comedy of the past 20 years and certainly in my top 5 sitcoms. It had the perfect blend of humour and pathos.

Why aren't there? There could be a row of taxis in that road that goes past the Keep. for example. Thirty or forty taxis wouldn't solve everything but that would be a help.

I think it's drivers that's the main issue - there aren't enough. Having said that, could it be worth the club paying for PSV training for staff? They could then have their own drivers on tap. It would be a big investment but peanuts in terms of Brighton's turnover.

... which used to be the case at the Goldstone. Caught the bus outside the Gaiety/Vogue and all the way to OSR. There's a shortage of bus drivers at the moment, so it may be trickier to arrange. Having said that, I'm not sure why more people don't use buses: a couple passed me on my way to the...

There aren't that many places in Coldean that have drives. There's just one house in my street with one and just a couple in the next street along. I think there was a market for permits so that people could pay to park in the street but the council are going to cut down on that by allowing...

It doesn't quite work - the second line doesn't fit the tune. He's a gem, he's a gem, gem, gem, gem does but the next line doesn't It needs a bit of polishing but I like the concept

That would work well

Not relevant to the car park but some bloke stopped in front of me when I was walking down from Coldean and asked whether the whole area was permit only. When I confirmed that it was, he asked where near the stadium could he park. How long has restricted parking been in place? How could someone...

I liked the Liverpool Bella Ciao chant - I've never heard that before. Do other teams use it? It makes a great football song

Yeah, I'd have voted for Gruda too. Certainly not the bloke who defended like he'd never seen a football before

Hmm ... I'm not sure Bluebeard's Castle will fit the bill. I love it - it's definitely in my Top Ten operas but it's certainly no Oliver. My recommendation of an opera for beginners is La Boheme - stonking tunes and a nice death at the end.

What I want to know is how much alcohol had been consumed by the sponsors. It must have been a prodigious amount to have named Lamptey MotM.
