    RIP Warren Mitchell

    All of us liberal leftie apologists for anti-racism are just sitting here waiting to defend Till Death Us Do Part from the folk who think that "it couldn't possibly be shown these days", when we all know that what TV really needs is more of this sort of thing.

    Children in need vs. boring England friendly

    There was a low-key documentary about a vicar in the Falkland Islands, followed by Michael Portillo on trains in Greece. BBC2. Not great TV, but nothing to cringe at. And then the News got interesting.

    Football League To Be Renamed

    The point of a logo is to assist in "brand recognition". The current Football League logo achieves this by including the words "THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE". The new logo merely states "EFL". This achieves only uncertainty as to what the logo is trying to say. On the other hand ... the load of balls...

    Football League To Be Renamed

    Does this mean that using the term FA to mean "**** All" will be made illegal?

    Watches

    My great great great grandfather was a watchmaker called John Harrison. I'd love to trace a watch that he made. Not that one, btw.

    Watches

    In days when watches had to be wound every day, you needed easy access to the winding mechanism. That worked best for right handed people wearing their watch on their left wrist. What I don't understand is why this hasn't changed with battery operated watches that don't need daily attention...

    Watches

    I won the watch that I wear in a competition on the Brightonfans forum. It's a Klaus Kobec limited edition (number 25) that celebrates England's participation in the 2002 World Cup. My reason for hanging on to it is simple. It keeps incredibly good time. Oh ... left wrist and bedside table...

    Prime Minister in spat with his own Tory council

    If and when Corbyn can persuade his Labour Party colleagues that the priority should be to oppose the excesses of the Tory government, rather than worry about an election in four and a half years time, then there might be some hope. Who knows, we might actually stop the cuts. And, in 2020...

    Has Remembrance Day lost it,s meaning ?

    Indeed it is. Mind you, thirty years ago it was an event for millions of veterans and not all of them wanted to celebrate it. These days, it's mainly an event for non-combatants. Non-combatants "remember" very differently.

    getting to The Amex

    You don't need a blue badge to use the minibus shuttle. Friends and relatives can use it as well, if there is space.

    getting to The Amex

    If you use the 25, on the way to the game, you can get off the bus at the first stop on the Sussex University campus (next to the Sports Centre) and then change to the minibus shuttle service which runs from the adjacent car park direct to the stadium coach park (next to the lift down to the...

    Who would you like Lewes to burn On Thursday night.

    Just because they make a tableau, it doesn't mean that the subject of the tableau is a figure of hate. See the reference to Magna Carta above. And, anyway, tableaux aren't "burnt". They are exploded. Even Sepp Blatter.

    Who would you like Lewes to burn On Thursday night.

    There was a very nice tableau celebrating Thomas the Tank Engine in the South Street children's procession.

    Parking for Reduced Mobility

    The accessible minibus shuttle servive runs from the car park next to Sussex University's Sports Centre and takes people to the stadium car park, close to the lift that provides access to the external concourse. The service is available, free of charge, to anyone who presents themselves at the...

    Who would you like Lewes to burn On Thursday night.

    Bearing in mind that there will be six of the Lewes Bonfire Societies marching on Thursday, it will be the case that six tableaux will feature on the night. Suggesting that "Lewes" will burn one target simply reveals an ignorance of what goes on. I'm wondering whether I've seen the only...
