Remember watching it I think.......bit bizarre. JTW obsessed with PH and basically transforms into her (seem to remember she even had a 'leg shortening' operation ?)

It's on Iplayer if you want to watch it
Unfortunately it was used inappropriately this evening, as our little foxes got themselve a handy away goal in a close game. I may have to defenestrate myself for my slackadaisical insouciance.
ps Mrs Tackle says I often use defenestration wrongly, because you cannot be defenestrated out of doors. Bloody pedant.

Careful! Mustn't let people know that you'll be able to see the stadium from the Downs.

Silly old bat
Completely forgetting the North Downs, which run from Dover to Winchester.
Much as I love the Amex, it is a bit incongruous surrounded by Downland. Imagine he hates it being there.
What like Falmer Parish Council.
Their only concern about the hotel was the hope that it wouldn't spoil their view of the stadium.

Sadly that's not a joke.
It was the reply Martin Perry got in his courtesy meeting with them.
I have no idea how the poor bloke isn't currently serving life without parole.
Stat does the heavy lifting so you don't have too!!
Having banged the drum for KV, I realised we hadn't been for years, so have just got back, with a bazillion photos:-

To the best of my knowledge, he has no ill-feeling towards the stadium.

The programme was based on the geographical area of the South Downs National Park. This includes a bit of Hampshire called the Western Weald, which was originally intended to be left out of the National Park but, at the last minute, was included, when the government took the decision about the boundaries.
Just watched this on iPlayer.
Fantastic programme, beautifully showcasing plenty I already knew about the downs, but plenty I didn't too. I feel a bit restless if I haven't had a wander up at Firle Beacon or around the Cuckmere Haven of a weekend, but this has inspired me to head further west too. Kingley Vale looks particularly good - thanks for the photos Stat Brother, I may well venture there this weekend (though expect it to be busy!)

Plenty more were they came from!!
I'd recommend holding off for a couple of weeks.
Unsurprisingly it was still somewhat wintery today, but the ground was full of inch high bluebells.
When they, along with everything else, are flowering KV takes on a whole new lease of life.
Some seriously poor errors in there. I'm sure he identified the Cuckmere River as the Ouse at one point and totally denied the existence of the North Downs. Right at the start he called Beachy Head the Seven Sisters, too. Made me wonder if the bits I didn't know about before were factual or not. I'm pleased to see that Kingley Vale is real, though!

The Vicar did my head in. I had to remind myself that it wasn't Crocodile Dundee who presented the programme.
Why did he walk around with a giant stick?
