I’ve lived in Brighton since I was two years old, apart from a nine month period in Australia and a couple of countryside excursions. In fact, literally in the same triangle area. It’s all I’ve really known.
For many years I have been renting. Never taking a mortgage which I really regret now...
It seems to vary greatly from surgery to surgery. Mine is part of a group and much of the time, if I can get over to the other surgery (my main one of the last 50 odd years is across the road) they will fit you in same day. But they always say call at 08.00.
At some stage I will have to leave...
I did think about that, but I'm not sure it would be appropriate for the main game as, ultimately, he was first seen as a politcian. Perhaps a piece is the programme would be a good idea.
I think William Hague was probably the funniest of my generation. His despatch box oratory about Gordon Brown and Tony Blair's leadership pact has to be the funniest speech in parliamentary history.
Quite. And the idea that he was 'left' by some here is misguided. It was him who fronted the New Labour philosophy and got full nationalisation off the agenda with a famous conference speech.
But let's move away from that. All you say is correct and he will go down in Albion folklore. He was...
Felt sorry for Sami, I liked the wingback system and felt like we played good football under him. Just couldn't get results with a Poundshop team that had about six loans and looked like it had been cobbled together last minute
But the club did. He was here for three years and loaned out, showing no sign of what came later. Even in the Championship at Coventry City he was showing the qualities of being strong at that level but nothing more. These things happen.
That is Sunday perfection. I used to bat at number 10 and frustrate to the draw. Our number 11, sat there with his pads on for 40 minutes as I crawled to my 2 runs through ample defence. I remember I had a habit of getting out on the first ball of the last over leaving Dave the Dab five balls to...
I didn't know about Peter Taylor.
I think cricket was better, but not football. The unruly crowds and those awful pitches that killed any creativity in players. Hoof. Brighton won a famous victory at Forest in 1979. The first home defeat they had in a year. I watched the highlights of the game...
Well, yes. I think many of these 'Days' are born out of adversity. The Women's Day came about because of the struggles and prejudice they experience around the world. Mainly at the hands of men. It's a bit like the 'Straight Pride' thing really.
As a man I don't feel I need a day because in a...
Difficult, but I do feel, and evidence seems to show, that BREXIT has done a lot of damage to many areas of economic life for one. The problem is that sensible discussion is difficult to have on the subject and much of the press, for obvious reasons, avoid it. I can't see the Labour Party going...
It's International Men's Day every day on much of the planet. That said, it could be used to highlight some of the hidden issues that men face but find hard to talk about. Mental health being a key one. As well as the International Break weekends coming so thick and fast.
If you pass your house and capital on to the kids, they may have to pay inheritance tax. The difference is that the house is a liquid asset.
If I'm a farmer's son, working that farm, and I inherit it, I do not have a liquid asset if I wish to maintain the business. Thus I could be landed a bill...
