    Rye and other nice bits of darkest East Sussex.

    I think it's called Flackley Ash... There's also something called Rye Lodge in the centre of the town. It claims to be quite good and must have a great view oiver the marsh. It used to be the Rye Collegiate and tried to teach me how to count in the late '50s. I guess they've changed the...

    Has the standard of spelling degenerated rapidly in the last few days?

    You haven't left room for a double "Yees" vote.

    RUBBISH attendance

    And reading the Argus isn't going to help much - it's more negative than bits of NSC. Yesterday's weather forecast was dire, and (in the event) wrong. Bet that kept a few away. And the gloom over Hammond + discouraging comments on the sense of buying Murray kept the rest at home. They'll now...

    Incredible statistic from the matc programme

    ...and that, out of a portakabin. Wait till they move into some proper accommodation at Falmer. It just shows there's more to a football club than a dodgy January.

    Norman Wisdom last night!

    And he turned up to watch the Hull game on a chilly Friday night in December two yars ago - so he must be a bit of a supporter...........

    No Trains on Saturday

    I wonder how that affects an average Withdean gate. I, for one, would go to far more games if I could get from Clapham Junction to Preston Park in 45 minutes and not have to spend over an hour in a rusty bus between HH and PP.

    Tempting Back Those Missing Fans

    Dream on - the HSE will never allow it. Nothing's going to happen until football completes its transition from tribal warfare to a spectator sport - which, at the top end, it nearly has. Then go for comfort (stop fitting 25,000 plastic bucket seats into a ground which never houses more than 15k...

    What a Load of Rubbish

    On behalf of the realists round here, you're forgiven. But if you think Sudbury '97 was bad, you must have missed Leatherhead and Walton & Hersham. Never a dull moment - but just think: you could be a Chelsea fan waking up to an exhilerating 1-0 win over QPR...

    What a Load of Rubbish

    'Cos Robinson has a suspected fractured metatarsal (official site). Next?

    a load of snow here in Rutland

    28 degrees and sunny here in Havana, too. Football's not so great though - but you can't have everything...

    Sponsor Brett and Megan / Auction of Spice Girls Tickets

    I don't wish to be a complete smart-arse, but I don't think that's quite the whole of Cuba - unless a bit's dropped off since I was last there... I spend quite a bit of time there, so PM me if you need any info.

    real fans / stayaways

    Blame British Snail. If they didn't dig up the tracks on the Brighton line every weekend, I reckon a lot more London-based supporters would go. I've been a really crap fan for more than 40 years now. My last experience of Withdean? Blackpool game last year with Blackpool-supporting mate...

    McCanns used fund to pay mortgage

    If the fund was raised to finance the continued search for the girl, and if the parents have given up their jobs for the last six months to help co-ordinate the search, then paying their mortgage out of it doesn't seem unreasonable to me...

    HAVANAH.anyone been?

    Yup - know lots. Part owner of a hotel there. PM me and I'll reveal all. (Well, perhaps not all).

    Brown Bottles It

    Or some new history books will have been published and the young Maggie-haters will be able to read about what a dump she had to take over. She transformed a basket case into a viable country during her first five years. Should have retired then, maybe....

    Brown Bottles It

    Maybe Herr T - but a week ago, Mr Brown hadn't been rumbled for cooking Iraqi troop withdrawal numbers and opening the same hospital twice. There was always a doubt about his judgement and a fear that, when he couldn't quietly vanish when things got rough, he would look inadequate. It's...

    Cameron comes of age

    It'll be interesting to see how Brown gets on when (and if) he has to face a full parliamentary session starting in the next week or so. He's been able to bed in without the pressures of parliamentary scrutiny for the last three months. He didn't look very comfortable during the first few...

    RIP Dame Anita Roddick

    I once heard her say that she worked all weekend to get the first Body Shop open and arived on Monday morning to find the owners of the shops on either side standing on their doorsteps looking worried. She said they were both undertakers.

    London Black cab prices.

    £8 - £10 at a guess. More if you travel after 8pm. Less if Uncle Ken's hopeless congestion scheme actually works...
