Even if you are a soccer ball season ticket holder? Has NOBODY considered the risks?

... And TWELVE points clear of 7th place.

Did they pull the same trick in Europe, or is this just an issue for vehicles sold in the US?

This is a version of rugby that can't possibly be played by 30 blokes on a local pitch, without a whole array of cameras, screens and in-studio officials. I'm feeling completely disconnected.

Is this a health and safety training video I'm watching?

I like the idea of penalizing teams that reach the playoffs, to give a chance to teams lower down the table and make the end of season "more interesting". The answer to that is shirley to go into the last few games aiming to drop points. It might be more interesting, but I'm not convinced it...

I'm reliably informed that the Japan team are insisting that the playing area be completely screened until they have completed their warm-up session and walkabout. There will therefore be NO photos.

When I was up there an hour ago, there were certainly mobile units that will be set aside to sell rugby tat. A major rebranding exercise seems to be approaching completion. And Dick's Bar will be set aside for media use only. It'll be CARNAGE.

Separating Eastbourne passengers from Newhaven/Seaford passengers at Falmer is a STUPID idea. The quickest way to get to Eastbourne from Falmer is often to get on a Seaford train and change at Lewes on to a Victoria - Eastbourne train. Hanging back at Falmer for a direct train to Eastbourne...

What about the DOZENS of Samoans who'll be in town without a ticket for the South Africa game? They could be fun.

What about the Office of Fair Trading?

The drivers who have been annoying me this week have been German coach drivers in Lewes Road. Happy to use the bus lanes, until they find themselves approaching a local bus that is stopped at a bus stop - cue a rapid lurch to the right, to join the general traffic lane, with no regard for the...

All the more reason for making enforcement easier.

Moi aussi. I thought on-street parking enforcement in Lewes was the responsibility of East Sussex County Council.

I could reveal a juicy titbit or two about Mr Baker, but I won't. I've always taken the view that you should fight arguments with arguments. Getting personal is getting cheap.

Bill Athey not only played cricket for Sussex, to say nothing of Yorkshire and Gloucestershire, he turned out for Ringmer FC in the County League. And Brentford reserves as well. But let not these quibbles detract from the greatness of Brian Close.

Another owl.

Me too. And Stockdale handed it to a photographer behind the goal to finish off the contents.

Well ... I think it's a nice little project that does no harm and adds to the mix of Brighton oddities that make the place stand out from other rather dull towns.

I was in Waitrose in Lewes yesterday and Norman Baker came up to me and said hello. We then had a conversation about how boring it was to have to sit around in the summer sunshine. He and I both agree on that. He said nothing about his book, though.
