Nice and leisurely at Brighton station 10 mins ago. Is everyone early, or late?

He lived opposite my gran in Southwick.

What we need to do now is get behind the team - with just a little bit of positive thinking, we can still get a draw or a win here. It ain't rocket science.

Yet more proof that the purist's preference of T20 is continuing to add elegance and grace to the game of cricket (if you ignore the Wright stumping). We are now undoubtedly absolute certainties for the D2 play-offs.

Can't quite make my mind up about these two albums. I prefer Japanese Breakfast - especially the tracks that don't sound like an update for a Twin Peaks soundtrack album, but that unfortunately wipes out half the album. Diving Woman, The Machinist, The Body Is A Blade and This House (plus...

Well, that does sound pretty rubbish. Reminds me of struggling through that terrible conspiracy book on the Cathars and Jesus - the Holy Blood and the Holy Grail, I think it was called. Quite involving for the first 30 pages or so, but got more and more tedious. Never started Ulysses because I...

I know what you mean. I soldiered on and finished it - last two chapters unfortunately are quite confusing, so I had to re-read them. Think I probably followed up with something a little lighter. I don't like not finishing a book. My worst was If On A Winter's Night A Traveler by Italo Calvino...

Deer Shed festival at the weekend: Lets Eat Grandma: entertaining. Good loud bass. Jesca Hoop: did an acoustic set. Don't like acoustic sets. Honeyblood: good crowd-pleasing rocky indie set. Teenage Fanclub: lovely three-part vocal melodies, great treasure box of songs, ending with Sparky's...

About 6. Next match for me is home to West Bromwich Albion. I feel excitement for this on a par with, ooh, maybe home to Rotherham last season, but with expectation of fewer points.

I wet shave every weekday, but not weekends. I use a brush and fancy shaving cream, just to try to keep things interesting and slightly pretentious. Problem is, a tub of shaving cream lasts so long that it soon gets boring again. However, I like the ritual and it's better for your skin than the...

My middle-aged man's quick picks include: Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever - French Press Slowdive - Slowdive Ride - Weather Diaries Perfume Genius - No Shape Laura Marling - Semper Femina Hoping to be inspired by some "new" new music this summer at festivals.

I know you're trying to get a reaction, but I think this cuts out quite a lot of stuff, from AC/DC (and heavier) to Wham (and lighter).....

There is an ongoing debate where I work: I say I'd rather go and see Coldplay than the RHCP, but the other middle aged men and women insist that RHCP are funky, hip and happening and nothing like awful old Coldplay. I don't think they're right - I have no love for Coldplay at all, but I really...

At university, I used to fry stuff in my toasted sandwich maker. I did boil some milk once in my kettle, but it took so long to clean it afterwards that I didn't bother doing it again. When's that Man City match again?

Genius! Thank you - can access that domain OK, but not the old one (which still works, but redirects to the new one). Shows the dangers of being a fuddy duddy and using obsolete URLs. Who says NSC isn't a force for good?

At work, I cannot access the www.seagulls.co.uk website because it is "uncategorized". Does anyone have any ideas how I could get around this? NSC is fine to use at work, as are youtube and eBay. My thoughts are (a) I ask our internal IT people to relax the rules on website access purely to suit...

"Never mind" was definitely Nirvana.

I can feel that bass from here and I'm several counties away.

New Ride album today - looking forward to this one about 7.5 out of 10. Of the three new tracks I've already heard, I would describe them as "not bad" rather than "amazing". Happy to upgrade if they've saved the best songs for the full release.
