    Is Wimbledon the Holy Grail of tennis?

    To say nothing of the World Toad in the Hole Championships at Lewes Town Hall.

    The ACTUAL Wording Of What Greece Is Voting For Or Against On Sunday

    Bearing in mind that Cyprus is a different country with a different set of relationships with other nations (e.g. Russia), the outcome of the Greek referendum could have a significant impact on how the IMF treats a future financial crisis in Cyprus. There's an opportunity for the international...

    Americans Don't Know Why They Celebrate 4th of July!

    It's bad enough that we know the date of July 4th. Out here in Firle, we like to think of it being a celebration of the uselessness of the Gage family. I'm just thankful that hardly anyone in the UK knows the date of Thanksgiving Day.

    The ACTUAL Wording Of What Greece Is Voting For Or Against On Sunday

    It's confusing enough that NAI is the Greek for YES. But it's equally obvious that Ms Merkel has made them an offer that nobody can understand.

    The Official 102nd Tour de France, thread.

    Not unreasonably, it would seem. The Aussie won.

    The Official 102nd Tour de France, thread.

    What about S4C? Is it in Welsh? If so, it will merely enhance the experience for those of us who always wonder: "What the hell are the commentators talking about?"

    Traffic CHAOS next week, at Brighton Station..

    The problem with putting taxis round the back of the station is that journey distances would be significantly longer for most passengers and therefore fares would be higher. People travelling to the station by cab want to be dropped off as close as possible to where they will be buying tickets...

    Traffic CHAOS next week, at Brighton Station..

    I thought it was the Church Street car park that was promoted as the Theatre Car Park. Personally, I would consider the Carlton Hill Car Park. Both are accessible from Seven Dials via Preston Circus. Edit ... except that Carlton Hill closes permanently in a couple of weeks.

    This tells you all you need to know about the BBC

    Listening today to Radio 4, it seems quite obvious to me that the BBC have taken on board the criticism and are now following the government directive not to refer to "Islamic State" without qualifying the phrase.

    Traffic CHAOS next week, at Brighton Station..

    But who NEEDS to drive a car down Queens Road? If, for example, you want to get from Seven Dials to the Churchill Square car parks, drive down Montpelier Road and use the seafront and West Street.

    Vinyl or downloads ?

    Proper vinyl is the cheap 45s that were recorded as covers and sold only through Woolworths. Stuff like the Typhoons collection of hits made famous by the Beatles. Only 4s 3d when first released. What price today?

    [Cricket] LV= County Championship Division One, Warwickshire v Sussex at Birmingham

    It's noteworthy that Warwickshire declare when Laurie Evans reaches the point where just one more run would mean him catching up with Rikki Clarke's highest score in first class cricket.

    Cech to Arsenal. I am ashamed of some of the chelsea fans' reaction.

    What's happened? Does it matter?

    R.I.P. Ian Allan

    Yes, but ... when I had the responsibility to decide all of the bus route numbers in East Sussex, it was route 112. Hands up all those NSC users who would have LOVED that job! :)

    Why do people take photographs like this ?

    Photojournalism is a job? It certainly used to be, but these days the press are content just to nick stuff off Twitbook.

    [Cricket] LV= County Championship Division One, Warwickshire v Sussex at Birmingham

    We have an obligation to the great Ranji to recapture IMMEDIATELY the County Championship record stand for the seventh wicket. Anything less than that will mark this innings down as a complete FAILURE.

    Is there anything GOOD on around Sussex today?

    It's Pulling Up Nettles Day at Bracknell Towers.

    reasons Eastbourne is a great place to live

    That's because nobody wants to go there.

    Band name

    The heir to the Bracknell title, who regularly plies his video skills at Glastonbury, reached the pinnacle of his career there when he performed with Fvck Buttons. Does that count?
