Ian Wilson of local solicitors Dean Wilson Laing gives invaluable advice to the city’s thousands of small companies and employees This week: Conduct at work
Q. I have been invited to a meeting to discuss my recent conduct at work, including in particular, using the internet during working hours. What should I be aware of? A. If your employer intends to dismiss you for misconduct, or impose any sanction other than suspension on full pay or the issue of a warning, you should be aware that the employer must follow a minimum 3 stage procedure. As a basic guide, you should be sent a letter inviting you to a meeting to discuss the misconduct and informing you that the possible outcome of the meeting could be disciplinary sanction. After the meeting the employer should inform you of the sanction, if any, they will impose for your misconduct and inform you of your right to appeal the decision. Please also be aware of any other procedures the employer has in place, as they should also be acting in accordance with these procedures, including an internet policy. You should also be aware that you are entitled to be accompanied at
these meeting by a fellow employee or trade union member. Q. What if I dispute the alleged conduct? A. The employer should only take disciplinary action if it has a genuine and reasonable belief that you have committed such conduct. The employer should investigate the matter fully if you deny the conduct. The employer may choose to suspend you on full pay whilst this process is underway. Q. If I have committed an offence outside of work, can the employer dismiss me for this? A. The employer may be able to dismiss you if, for instance, the offence makes you unsuitable for your job. For example, if you deal with money on a day-to-day basis and you have been convicted of theft, this may entitle an employer to dismiss you. Q. My employer’s disciplinary procedure states that certain acts of misconduct are treated as gross
misconduct. What does this mean? A. In certain limited circumstances, the employer is entitled to dismiss you without notice (or pay in lieu of notice if this is part of your contract of employment). However, the employer should still follow the modified procedure as opposed to the 3 step procedure described above, which includes sending you written notice of your dismissal and your right to appeal that decision. Whether an employer has a right to dismiss you without allowing you a second chance depends on the nature of your job and the misconduct committed. Sometimes, the employer may be able to dismiss you without giving you an opportunity to prove yourself, although in many cases an employer should give you a warning before taking a decision to dismiss. Q. In the past I have committed other acts of misconduct. Can the employer take this into account in a decision to dismiss me? A.In deciding what disciplinary action
Ian Wilson is senior partner of six-partner Brighton solicitors Dean Wilson Laing and specialises in employment law. He was a part-time chairman of the Employment Tribunals for nine years. He is also a board member of The Prince’s Trust (Sussex). to take, your employer should not take into account any warnings that have expired. However, a recent case decided that even expired warnings can be taken into account in determining whether the employer should have exercised leniency in a later case of misconduct.

Tina Charles – CD Catherine Anderson (Oriental Hotel) and Nathalie Calonnec (Oriental Hotel)
Photography exhibition Thursday 15 May saw the opening night of this year’s Media Degree show ‘Plug.us.in’ at the University of Sussex. This exhibition was the culmination of three years of hard work from students in the disciplines of photography who tackled a broad range of issues from drug use in Brighton to the problem of light pollution. Documentary film makers’ efforts included innovative explorations of racial tensions in Paris, eco communities and finally the interactive exhibits, where creative flair combined with technical expertise to produce a diverse and outstanding body of work. In all it featured 25 pieces of work produced by 42 final year media and film students on the Media and Practice and Theory BA degree course. Another great example of creativity that continues to thrive and grow in our city. Visit www.plugusin.co.uk for information.

Eminemmylou Hi, I’m Eminemmylou, throwin’ lyrics at you. This week with Karen Monaghan
Pub Talk Brendan sits in the Earth and Stars, his ice dipped Stella throbs on the table; crown-dusted with JPS. ‘That’ll be the day’ sings in his head, Everley Brothers for sure.
She pushes past, a soft whinny; nostrils flaring, glossed-up mane and a black lashed stare. A steely thoroughbred. Christ! I fancy her... That’ll be the day.
EMOTIONS
Dani’s diary Dani refuses to follow the mob and believe that the uber-famous amongst us can do no wrong I never fully understood why everyone hated Heather Mills. The only explanation anyone gave was that Paul McCartney was in The Beatles. Using that as an excuse for hating someone is ridiculous. I hadn’t really formed an opinion on the whole thing until I was asked what my view was. Instead of saying that my view was that I thought it stupid I had been drawn into discussing a marriage breakdown between two people I had never even laid eyes on, I had a little think and decided that I didn’t care what songs the man had written and what had allegedly happened in the lady’s past. When push comes to shove they are still just people like the rest of us. But that didn’t stop me taking sides. And I was on the woman’s side all the way. It absolutely infuriated me that nobody would allow a bad word against the man because of the fact that he had been in a band. I don’t care how famous that band is or how many people have the records or how many people believe that he is God for stringing together a few sentences to music. That’s almost as bad as saying you will side with one person over the other because of the colour of their hair or because they painted your favourite picture!

But what’s worse about this situation is that the whole world formed very strong opinions on the matter when they knew nothing about any of it. The only information the world received is what the media decided would pull in the most punters. Surely we know by now that what we read in the papers and see on the news is not always 100 per cent true! Lots of people split up every day, celebrities and regular folk, but this couple got more media coverage than the recent cyclone in Burma. And nobody can give you a reason why without mentioning The Beatles! There are people I idolise, but not to the point where I will accept that they are incapable of ever doing anything wrong! As you can imagine, people stopped asking me my opinion on the matter because I would never give the opinion they wanted. I wouldn’t side with someone just because of what they have achieved. The same thing happened when David Beckham cheated on Posh. No one really said a bad word against David Beckham and I am sure they blamed Posh for the whole thing happening! Just because someone is famous doesn’t make them any less responsible for their actions. Perhaps the only way to form a full, well rounded opinion on the matter would be to marry a celebrity, get a messy divorce and then report back. However, the likelihood of me actually meeting an eligible bachelor is minuscule. So I will just stick with my opinion. No matter what someone does for a living, it doesn’t make them incapable of being mean.

Mischa Barton and Natalie Imbruglia are swanning around the pool and I notice Lily Allen holding court at the cocktail bar. Three hours later I’m carrying her from the party with a journalist from The Mail on Sunday, while on the sideline Lily's publicist holds her head in her hands. We get back to our room as the day is turning, clutching boxes of pizza we bought on the way. I file a news story home while nibbling my Hawaiian: ‘With her sunkissed skin and glowing blonde hair, Lily Allen looked the picture of health sunbathing on the French Riviera this week. But it was a different scene last night when the drunken ‘Smile‘ star had to be carried home from a party after enjoying one too many cocktails. ‘The 23-year-old, who has been enjoying a break with friends at the exclusive Hotel Du Cap, shocked fellow guests when she collapsed at a party held by GQ magazine, having to be escorted from venue. ‘“Lily was on great form early in the evening, downing cocktail after cocktail at the free bar and flirting with male admirers“, says my source. Then later she suddenly seemed to have had one too many. She had to be helped to a table, where she collapsed with her head on her lap, before two people escorted her from the party. ‘Luckily the singer’s father Keith Allen was on hand to take control of the situation. Finding Lily lying on the back steps of the Festival House venue he coaxed the slurring and disorientated star into a waiting taxi, snapping: “Come on let’s go – I’m your dad, you know me.” Earlier in the evening Lily hinted at the reason for her state. ‘“I’m on the ‘I’m on holiday, I’m going to drink loads of f**king wine at lunch’ diet and eat as much as I f**king want,” she told our reporter. “I’m on the ‘eat what the f**k you like and drink what you weigh’ diet.”’ Just as I’m done a text comes through from the German I met in the pizza shop earlier. It’s my last day in Cannes, it seems silly to wait. So I shut up my laptop and run to the beach.
What Katie did Katie finds herself helping Lily Allen out of a crisis and has many reasons to smile
Alright, still I am 13 and on a cold beach in France. I am having my first kiss. I wonder if I should use my tongue. He is called Matt and he is the hottest boy on the camp site, across which, in a static caravan, my parents are waiting for me to be home by nine. A decade later on a beach in Cannes I am kissing a German film producer. We shiver together by the water as the sun starts to rise. In two hours my flight leaves from Nice airport. He asks if I want to go back to his flat. The day started with Toby Young, promoting his new film How To Lose Friends and Alienate People. We sat exhausted through the press showing eating croissants while Toby played his usual modest self: “I was disappointed to get Simon Pegg playing me – I was thinking I’d get someone bigger like Angelina or Brad to play me and my wife.” He chortled, mainly to himself. “I see Brangelina are in Cannes, outdoing me again though.” I asked Simon Pegg if there was one defining feature he had to copy to play Toby and without a pause he says: “Just the continual self-promotion.“
“Lily was on great form … downing cocktail after cocktail and flirting with male admirers“ We take our limousine up to the Hotel Du Cap because we’ve heard a rumour that that’s where Lily Allen is staying. At the bar we pass Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart and order two glasses of champagne for a cool 70 euros. By the pool there’s no action, but out to sea the paparazzi boats are cruising the perimeters with their long-angled lenses. In the end we give up, and pop home to get changed, chuck on some black tie and head up to the GQ bash that’s happening across town.

COVERSTORY
Jule’s jewels Jeweller and silversmith Julian Stephens celebrates a fifth anniversary It only seems five minutes since Julian Stephens opened the doors on his North Laine premises but is in fact five years so we went along to find out how things are going for one of Brighton’s best loved jewellery makers and silversmiths. Julian is an unassuming fellow and laughs readily when I ask him how things have changed? ‘‘Well we have lots more work, and we show work by about 40 designers having started with only 12. The biggest difference is that we have lots more regular customers. And that very loyal customer base is buying everything from jewellery to silverware, christening gifts and that sort of thing. For many of them we are their first port of call especially when they are looking for gifts. I suppose they enjoy the eclectic range of styles that we have on offer.’’ Julian claims that he is not a businessman but a craftsman – drawn to things that he falls in love with. The business is run as a gallery, which allows him to take chances and show more adventurous work. ‘‘It's a changing collection here. We also do repairs and alterations as a jobbing jewellery business. The biggest surprise has been the scale of the bespoke work that we undertake, two thirds of of our business is now commissions. Because of that we have been able to build up an amazing collection of gemstones – we also specialise in platinum and diamond work. So is bespoke jewellery expensive? ‘‘No, surprisingly not, we start at around £85 for a pair of earrings, a bespoke ring from around £120 after that it’s limitless.‘‘ Larger items of silverware like candlesticks can be commissioned and show the excellence of Julian´s craftsmanship. Recently he was commissioned to design and make the prestigious Bobby Moore trophy to be presented at the English Schools Football Association under 18s final at Wembley. The trophy is made of silver, brass and English oak with a hand chased image of the football star Bobby. Julian went to the final and saw the trophy being presented to England, the winning team. Part of the design is based on the shape of the World Cup trophy – ‘‘I thought it would nice for a kid to be holding up something with that reference.’’ As a company they also undertake commissions for churchware. Two years ago Julian engaged an apprentice, Poppy. ‘‘She had been recommended by a friend who was working with her. Her apprenticeship has included day release but she has now completed that training and will be working alongside me fulltime.’’ Julian loves being in the North Laine and a part of its exciting community, opening his workshop for evening classes three nights a week. The location is fantastic as it is en-route from the station for visitors who want enjoy the real benefits of Brighton’s amazing range of independent designers and retailers. With so many brilliant and exciting opportunities why would anyone ever want to go to high street chains? Julian Stephens will be launching a new website in summer with the facility to buy online. www.julianstephens.com. 37 Gloucester Road, Brighton, call: 01273 692110

Open all hours A new surgery will cater for people who are not signed up to a GP and help relieve overburdened existing practices. Health providers, concerned at the numbers of people in Brighton and Hove who do not have a doctor, are tendering out a contract for a new practice. Brighton and Hove City Teaching Primary Care Trust is inviting ‘expressions of interest’ to set up a new GP-led health centre. It is looking for organisations with a strong track record in providing primary health care services. These could range from groups of local GPs to major independent healthcare companies. Once the formal tendering process is complete, the successful bidder will

It will open from 8am to 8pm seven days a week, offering walk-in and bookable GP and nurse appointments to registered and non-registered patients. The centre will also provide a range of other services such as cervical screening, sexual health, mental health and health promotion. PCT chief executive Darren Grayson said the GP-led health centre would be a valuable addition to the city’s existing 47 GP practices. “We know that some people living in the city are not registered with a GP and that many of our existing practices do not have the capacity to add them to their lists,” he explained. “On top of that, some of Brighton and Hove’s many visitors inevitably need medical services while they are here. This new centre will help us meet both those needs.” He added that the PCT is currently working with local people to identify two patient representatives who will help assess bids from organisations that want to provide and manage the health centre.

New voices A group of art, illustration, graphic design and fine art students at City College Brighton and Hove have got together to form a creative collective called ‘Pengineer’ and are publishing their own fanzine which is selling well locally. The fanzine is a quirky and sometimes surreal take on various themes that the students find compelling, such as childhood perceptions and notions of what ‘foreign’ means. Student David Brownings, 19, from Southwick, said: “We all made friends at the beginning of the foundation course and decided to get out there and promote ourselves. “Obviously, when we get out into the real world, we’ll all be freelance so it’s been a good way to maybe hit the ground running.

completely different style and we all bounce ideas off each other. Also, when you see the others creating work for the fanzine, it inspires you to push yourself harder.” As he went around the city trying to find outlets for the fanzine, David found that Brighton was very receptive: “We’re hoping to add to Brighton’s culture, not just consume it. The shops we went into were really supportive and willing to push the fanzine.” The Pengineer fanzine is available at Resident, Junk Funk, Dave’s Comics and Flawless – all in North Laine.
Help for us all Seafront benefits from Community Payback A package of community projects is to be carried out around Brighton and Hove, thanks to an innovative new partnership agreement between the city council and Sussex Probation Area. Offenders on probation will be working on a range of environmental improvement projects as part of their Community Payback.Top of the list is painting the city’s 7.5 miles of seafront railings which take such a battering from the elements they need regularly repainting. Work has already started on the railings and received positive feedback from the public and seafront traders. It comes on top of ongoing restoration and refurbishment of the railings being carried out by the council.
“Painting the seafront railings, for example, is a bit like maintaining the Forth Bridge” Other work planned includes maintaining cycle paths, clearing litter and undergrowth from open spaces, and painting and decorating community centres. Councillor Geoffrey Theobald, chairman of Brighton & Hove City Council’s Environment Committee, said: “This partnership with Sussex Probation Area will bring practical improvements across the city. “Painting the seafront railings, for example, is a bit like maintaining the Forth Bridge and this a great example of where Community Payback work can really make a difference.” Stephen Berry, Unpaid Work Project Manager for Sussex Councillor Geoffrey Theobald, Brighton Probation Area said: & Hove City Council’s cabinet member “Community payback work is for environment, with Peter Rogers, a punishment for the offender, Assistant Chief Officer from Sussex Area that also enables them to give Probation, signing the new agreement something positive back to the local community, whilst being rehabilitated. In addition Community Payback aims to reduce the fear of crime within communities.” The probation service has worked on some community projects for the city council in the past, but this is the first time there has been a formal agreement – enabling probation and council staff to plan projects over the coming year. Offenders who are placed on projects are fully risk assessed and are supervised by probation staff while carrying out projects. Across Sussex the Community Payback scheme has so far provided over 100,000 hours of community-based work.

Sail away Brighton lifeboat crew member Mark Nightingale and three friends fought their way through an illegal blockade at Fecamp harbour in France. While German and Dutch crews remained trapped, the crew sailed Mark’s yacht Joanne out at 2.30am under the cover of darkness. They were pelted with small stones as they left and one missile hit Mark on the head, causing a scratch. The 41-year-old self-employed designer, whose partner is expecting their first baby in August, said: “It was a bit scary, especially when they started hurling stones. “But no-one was seriously hurt and I haven’t found any damage on the boat. “It won’t stop us sailing to France but we might avoid Fecamp for the rest of the summer – in case they recognise us.” The blockade was organised by French fishermen who are on strike over rising diesel prices. They tried to raise a cable across the harbour entrance to stop the Joanne leaving but the Brits were too quick. With Mark were pals Pat Hawker, Paul Richards and Jeremy Rockett. They whistled the tune from The Great Escape as they sailed away, back to Brighton Marina.

Back to basics Joe Curtin celebrates some old-school-style football in a season full of some unexpected winners Your thoughts – Brighton Festival During the festival and fringe we published reviews at www.latest7.co.uk so you could keep up with the latest news about the best shows. We also invited you to share your opinions about the performances you enjoyed, and the ones you hated. Here are a selection of comments you left: New Act Night, Komedia I had such a great night and thought the standard was extremely high for all the acts – being first timers. Well done and good luck to all of them for their future in stand up! Hanover Poetry Festival This beautiful little event showed me a whole new face of poetry; straight off the pages and into the park – everyone was so friendly and the poets were fantastic. Being offered gin and tonic and cucumber sandwiches while being serenaded by an unusual collection of wordsmiths really made my afternoon. And when it rained, umbrellas and cosy blankets were handed out and the show went on. The Marilyn Monroe Show A refreshingly different view of Marilyn Monroe and her alter egos with catchy music and a good cast. Movin’ Melvin Brown This was, quite simply, the worst act I’ve ever seen. And for £14 a ticket? Shocking – and unfortunately every review of this, in all the Brighton publications, has been glowing and complimentary. Le Coeur Rouge A really well-paced show with lots of laughs and unusual acts. Really good fun. Best cabaret night out in Brighton for a long time.
Volunteers wanted The Brighton and Hove Federation for Disabled People are releasing a new ‘City Guide’ which is available on their website www.bhfederation.org.uk. City Guide is a web-based access information guide for disabled people visiting, living and working in the city. They will be adding to this City Guide as their volunteer representatives review venues and attractions across Brighton and Hove and they aim to make this a one-stop shop for both disabled residents and visitors to the area. The federation is looking for volunteers, both disabled and nondisabled, to become representatives and review venues and attractions. They will give full training and support and pay all travel expenses. If you, or anyone you know is interested, please contact them. The City Guide is an exciting new project, whereby the federation can raise awareness of disability issues locally and communicate with the wider community. To let them know what you think about the new City Guide contact Jane Binns, project leader, City Guide, email: cityguide@bhfederation.org.uk

And lo, it did come to pass. Sunday saw the final game an English player will take part in for this season. And what a season it was. English football dominated Europe, but yet failed to qualify for the European Championships and we saw one of the tightest finishes to a Premier campaign at both ends of the table for many a year. In the season that Peter Scudamore revealed his plans to add a 39th game out of pure greed it was refreshing and ironic that all of the FA Cup semi-finalists were from outside the ‘Big Four’. Indeed only one was even in the top flight. In the end it was a Portsmouth-Cardiff final. One that evoked memories of trilbies, clackers and Bovril. Portsmouth’s extra skill, speed and strength ultimately told in the end but what a rousing two-fingered salute to the prawn sandwich brigade.
“the Paolo Maldini of English journeymen, the comedically monikered Dean Windass” And in a further glorious rebellion to Scudamore’s anodyne, corporate, money-obsessed vision, Hull City made it to the Premier League, brought there on the back of goals scored by the Paolo Maldini of English journeymen, the comedically monikered Dean Windass. This fairytale ending to his career and Hull’s season serves as a reminder that football’s romance can not be completely sucked dry by Scudamore and his ilk. Just ask Harry Redknapp. The Manager of the Year Award will clearly go to Fergie after his second Premiership-Champions League double – and what an achievement. But in this era of football, ‘Arry deserves great praise for taking a mid-table club to silverware. As do Cardiff, Barnsley and West Brom for getting so far and upsetting the Big Four’s applecart. For West Brom the semi-final merely showed again what a team they currently have and here in the Bunker we may have a whip round and put a couple of quid on them to avoid relegation next season. On the subject of relegation, the season came to an incredibly close, and somewhat bizarre denoucement at the bottom end of the table. Derby were awful to the point of comedy, but the final day brought a hatful of goals and the jammy survival of Fulham – yet again. The peculiar and somewhat mystifying marriage of Al Fayed and Roy Hodgson (?) blossomed in the final few games and will enjoy the honeymoon of Premier League Football again next season. Birmingham are in self-destruct mode and are in danger of doing a Leeds, while Reading and Steve Coppell seemed resigned to relegation from the off. Once again English football rules Europe. With three teams in the semi-finals of the Champions League ( and Arsenal really should have made it four), the all-English final came as no real surprise. And what a dramatic final it was. The Chelsea-Manchester United final ensured that whoever won, the South East of England wouldn’t be disappointed. Unless it was Chelsea. With a Pompey-Cardiff FA Cup final, English clubs dominating Europe and an under-performing national side it’s like being transported back to 1984. This 1980s fashion revival seems to have spread to football. France for the European Championships anyone?

Most of us like to dance. It may be a widely known fact among your friends or a closely guarded secret you keep confined to your front room. However, and whatever way you choose to dance – there’s no arguing that it’s a great way to let loose, get in shape and have fun. A night of dancing, at a class or in a club, is a great way of socialising, with old friends and a chance to make new ones. Dancing burns calories – fast – without seeming like too much effort as the time flies as you have fun with it. Benefits of dancing include: • Reduced stress • Increased muscle tone and coordination • Increased energy • Great for social interaction The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) identify other benefits of dancing including a lowered risk of coronary heart disease, decreased blood pressure and strengthened bones in the legs and hips. So, what type of dancing should you try? It really is up to the individual. We all have different tastes, just like a gym visit where you may avoid the weights and head straight for the treadmill. All dancing is exercise. Whichever style you choose, and however quickly you move, you’ll soon be basking in the results. For a confidence booster try a belly dancing class. This can improve posture and muscle toning, help you lose weight and prevent lower back problems. For something more formal, take inspiration from TV’s Strictly Come Dancing and take a lesson in ballroom with your partner. You can burn around 265 calories an hour while increasing stamina and conditioning the body. If you prefer your steps quicker and outfit shorter, try Latin salsa classes and burn over 400 calories an hour! Salsa builds stamina and can help lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels. The only form of dancing said to burn more calories is an intensive aerobics dance where around 500 calories can be used up in an hour’s session. Whether it’s salsa, line dancing, jazz or disco, dancing can give an instant feel-good factor that’s hard to beat. The social ties you make can also be unrivalled and you’re learning a new skill while keeping in shape. See what classes are happening near you with our directory (right) and step into your dancing shoes for a more energetic and happier you.

Simply the best We laughed, we cried, and some of us made acceptance speeches when we’d had far too much champagne (you know who you are...you were fabulous). The end of Brighton Festival, Fringe and Open Houses was marked with a huge party hosted by Latest at the Parlure Spiegeltent. It was open to everyone who took part in this year’s festival, whether as a performer, creator of a show, venue manager, writer, booker, director, critic, festival worker or member of the audience. The night was compered by Brighton and Hove’s very own comic duo the Cheeky Boys – Brian Mitchell and David Bramwell – who managed to get through the auspicious occasion without dropping a single award. Although he didn't manage to get his hands on his own prize, Dave was recognised for his play Follow Me when Beth Fitzgerald won a joint award for best female performer. Some of the fantastic acts who entertained us during the ceremony included best male performer Tayo Aluko, New York roller-skating comedian Amy G, angel-voiced
Gala Orsborn, upcoming comedian Seann Walsh, Hilde the belly dancer, drag star Trudi Styles, burlesque diva Cherri Shakewell, Banjoman Rob Broderick, who made up a song about our photographer Tim Richardson, Freddie Mercury-alike juggler Carlos, Queen of the Circus, The Angle Grinders and Brighton gypsy folk band The Magic Number. Canapes for the nominees were provided by Brighton’s gourmet Catalan restaurant Pinxto People with Champagne from the brilliant people at the Parlure. Fifteen prizes were awarded which included winners of the Fringe Visual Arts Prize 2008 and the Latest Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Festival. The Cheeky Boys also gave a special prize for their two favourite venues – the Parlure and the Three and Ten. This year again, we’ve seen a plethora of events that included cabaret, classical, comedy, dance and physical theatre, kids, film, literature, music and much much more…from the Parlure Spiegeltent, Artists Open Houses, Fringe City, Komedia and some 220 other venues dotted around the city.

Model city Sandra Omo is irritated by the general assumption that models are stupid Earlier this week, I went for a coffee with a new friend of mine from Thailand who was just visiting home again. Halfway through the coffee we got talking about careers. Well, I know what he does and that he lives in Thailand, but he knew absolutely nothing about me, as we never had time to chat, hence the coffee. At the end of my introduction when I mentioned I am a model, I could see the surprise on his face but he waited until I finished before he lashed out. He finds it difficult to believe that I am a model. “How come you are so intelligent,” he asked? He thinks models are non-intelligent people who just sit around and sniff on their nail polish and get paid for doing that. He even justifies his thinking by saying he knows so many models and they all fall into this category and so he is surprised to find out that I am a model after all the intelligent discussions we have had. Can models talk this way? He is amazed. He is back to Thailand now and remains a good friend, but since then I have been thinking about the one issue I would have loved to pretend does not exist. How many people out there think that models are generally stupid? I mean I have heard about this a million times. I have even seen funny movies about this, with my favourite being Head Over Heels, a drama about four professional models living in a huge New York apartment provided by their agency. Although I like this movie, I just cannot help blaming films like this, and old wives’ tales for this wrongly propagated notion that models are non-intelligent people. And lets not forget the fact, or shall I call it trend, that every careerconfused young star you meet these days claim they are models, or once they have photos taken in a studio, that makes them professional models.
“He finds it difficult to believe that I am a model. ‘How come you are so intelligent,’ he asked?” Come on, if we begin to think every one who wears a green camouflage is in the army, wouldn’t the whole world be filled with unqualified army men and women? In fact, I am beginning to have cause to believe that people who think models are non-intelligent people are the non-intelligent ones because, one’s intelligence or lack of it, has absolutely nothing to do with one’s profession: it is who you are. You were either smart or not so smart before you took up a career, so why attribute it to the career? I was who I am before I choose to become a model so now does it matter that I am a model. Or would it have been easier to believe that I am smart because I am a lawyer? What nonsense! On the other hand, things like this just prove that so many people out there have absolutely no idea what it takes to be a model. It takes determination, charm, confidence, and intelligence to be one, and to remain in an industry as competitive as modelling. In a nutshell, models are highly intelligent people with the unbeatable confidence (in themselves and their abilities) that is required to thrive in the industry. So the next time you meet someone who claims to be model but lacks intelligence, the question you should be asking is: “Are you really a model?’

Bare cheek What’s not on Brian Mitchell and Joseph Nixon’s thoroughly scurrilous Brighton column
What was that? Can’t remember the name of an obscure film, book, TV show or whatever? Ask Mike Hunter, the man with all the answers Dear Mike, When I was a young lad I remember my two older brothers would often take me to watch a game being played down the local park.This game involved two teams of eleven people kicking a spherical ball within a defined area.The point of the game was to get the spherical ball between these poles or posts, with another post on top of them, which stood in pairs at both ends of the playing region, and were guarded by another player whose job it was to prevent this happening. Now, you’ll probably say ‘rugby’, but it can’t be that as I remember that touching the ball with your
hands was strictly against the rules of this game. Please, please help. I’m a pensioner who lives on his own and is often bored, and I’d love to go and see someone play this game (whatever it is). I’ve tried to quiz family and friends, but they just look blank and hurry away whenever I bring the subject up. Syd Canning, Hove

CANCER (JUNE 22–JULY 22)
LIBRA (SEP 23–OCT 22)
CAPRICORN (DEC 21–JAN 19)
Call me old-fashioned, but now is the time for Ariens to pull in their horns. In every sense, less spending, less aggression and less unnecessary stickiness all round.
The monastic life should have improved all Cancerian lives. If not then maybe try a different tack. Dress as a clown or a nun and direct traffic on the M27.
When push comes to shove, Librans will enjoy a good time for most of the week. Beware however the weekend when you happy mood will irritate friends and create enemies.
Now is a good time to start that diet. It is also a good time to return overdue library books, pay the TV licence, polish all your shoes, vaccinate the cat, spay the dog – and the boyfriend.
TAURUS (APR 21–MAY 21)
LEO (JULY 23–AUG 22)
SCORPIO (OCT 23–NOV 21)
AQUARIUS (JAN 20–FEB 19)
Taureans should be prepared for eventualities this week: rain; famine; lack of cash; lack of mates; the late onset of acne; and a visit from a loved one, family or friend. Buy biscuits.
How good do you feel Leo after all that contrite behaviour? Not at all? I thought not, down on your elbows and knees and walk all the way to Asda as a penance.
Bye bye to ‘Bah humbug’ and ‘Hello Pollyanna’. Now isn’t life a brighter and shinier place filled with love and happiness? What do you mean ‘no’? Oh Scorpio, I give up.
Aquarians should start to prepare for the London Olympics. Not that I expect you to get sporty, not at all. Just be ready for the inevitable massive slump in funding.
GEMINI (MAY 22–JUNE 21)
VIRGO (AUG 23–SEP 22)
SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22–DEC 20)
PISCES (FEB 20–MAR 20)
Well done Geminis for lifting the mood of the place by your smiling, but enough is enough. Pack it in and go back to being miserable old curmudgeons once more.
OCD house is not a form of dance music but a terrible problem for Virgoans. Time to get obsessively impulsive now. And that is an order, not a disorder.
Having suggested that Sagis pretend to be a different star sign to improve their lives I wonder if there are any left in need of my counsel? No, are you sure? Okay, no advice then this week.
Set a sprat to catch a mackerel Pisces, they are in season and delicious. Enjoy the thrill of a good filleting or let Bardsley’s do the slippery stuff for you.

ANDREW KAY’S FOOD&DRINK
Class act
memories of Indian Cuisine
A New Experience
Andrew Kay dines before curtain up at Brasserie in the Park at Chichester Festival Theatre My passion for food is almost equally matched by a love of live theatre. Sadly it’s not that easy to run the two together that often. I regularly find myself snacking before and after a show rather than having a proper meal. This is exacerbated when I travel to see a show, a trip to the West End means I arrive after work just in time to catch curtain up and need to beetle back to Victoria at curtain down if I have any hope of getting back to the seaside at a sensible hour. One of the highlights of the theatrical year is the Chichester Festival season. It attracts brilliant casts and innovative directors – but again I have struggled to dine and combine the show on too many occasions. Now the Brasserie in the Park, which lies below the smaller Minerva Theatre has undergone a much needed transformation. Knowing this we set off a little earlier than usual for a pre-theatre dinner. First impressions were good, the space is light and airy and the combination of coloured tables and chairs is smart but fun, no bland beige at work here. The sloping greenhouse effect windows are filled with an array of cacti and succulents in a range of containers and the effect is good.
‘‘Dining before a show requires skill from the diner and the kitchen. You do not want the odd gastric harmony from a rumbling tummy’’ Dining before a show requires skill on the part of the diner as much as the kitchen. After all, you do not want to be throwing in the odd gastric harmony from a rumbling tummy. The chef has clearly considered this and the menu is suitably satisfying while at the same time being light. We started by ordering sparkling mineral water and two glasses of Viognier, a rich dry white that more than makes up in taste for the fact that we would be having only one. The bread arrived, excellent stuff with a choice of good butter or oil and balsamic vinegar. This was followed by a fire alarm, a fire engine and a bunch of hunks in uniform who pretty quickly declared the emergency over and dinner was able to continue. We wished we had taken our wine with us onto the lawns while we waited. Back inside our starters arrived, Mrs E chose beetroot-cured salmon with a grain mustard emulsion. Very pretty it was too, and she soon declared it perfect. I chose tataki of beef with a plum dipping sauce. Skewers of tender steak with a sweet sauce hit just the right spot for someone craving flavour but not wanting to overeat. Mrs E moved on to a sweet potato gratin, goat’s cheese, roast tomato and chive water dressing. It was clearly the vegetarian choice but she was taken with the idea. It was certainly no second-class meatless sop to the vegetarian demand, but instead a very accomplished balance of flavours and textures in a satisfying plate of food that had her grinning from ear to ear. “I would order this again”, she cried, praise enough for me to grab a taste and she was right: really delicious.

I was drawn to the oven-roasted sea bream with saffron mash. In reverse order, fabulous creamy mash that was light as a feather and delicately scented with saffron. I like saffron but one stamen too much and it can give the impression that the food has been boiled with a neglected hymn book – musty. This was perfection. The sea bream was equally good, perfectly filleted with no bones, the skin cooked to a tasty crispness and the flesh flaking and moist. The sauce was a zingy addition but not overpowering. It was prettily presented too and surprisingly filling – well, just enough to leave space for puds. I insisted that Mrs E get involved, in the interest of journalism you understand. And after a little protest she ordered apple and almond tart with Calvados custard, not exactly the lightest choice for someone who did not want a dessert. And added to that she saw it off tidily with me only taking a doll-sized taste. I chose pink grapefruit and orange soup with elderflower which sounded deliciously refreshing and light, and it was. I must report however that the soup element was small, more like a salad, and I think they could take the soup idea a little further, by making it a little more liquid. The sorbet was lovely, soft textured with no hidden shards of ice. I finished with a medically required hit of caffeine in the form of a double espresso, as much to keep me awake later on the drive home as anything else. In fact I needed nothing to keep me awake for the excellent production of Funny Girl which filled me with delight. The Brasserie in the Park has got things absolutely right, the right kind of food, in the right-sized portions and I might add at an excellent price. I hesitate to say bargain, as it usually induces a flurry of letters criticising my opinions on the price of food. On this occasion I would say that £20 for three excellent courses and bread was very good value indeed. Worth a visit even if you are not going to the theatre for certain. Brasserie in the Park, Chichester Festival Theatre, Oaklands Park, Chichester, West Sussex, PO19 6AP. Reservations and Enquiries, 01243 782219 between 11am and 10pm.

Under review Here’s our round up of recent local shows, plus there’s oodles of reviews online at www.latest7.co.uk Gore Vidal Featuring the grand old man of American letters, Gore Vidal in Conversation with Andrew Marr was the Festival must-have ticket. And he did not disappoint with 90 minutes of barbed wit, bitter accusations and condemnations of almost all things American. This he peppered with witty anecdotes and bitchery. Marr coped well with the truth that Vidal was not really answering his questions to start with and he did much the same with questions from the floor, “How has gay culture changed since your novel The City and the Pillar?’’ “I don’t know, I haven’t looked,” he replied. His overall theme is the loss of the American Republic, the stupidity of almost every American president ever – in fact the stupidity of all America. Sad really that this undoubted genius only ever found time to comment on this and not do anything about it. Concert Hall, Dome, 22 May ✌✌✌✌✌ Andrew Kay
Call Mr Robeson Before Barack Obama there was Martin Luther King, and before King there was Paul Robeson. The forerunner of, let's hope, the next American president was at the same time one of the most famous singers in the world and the champion of the civil rights movement. Tayo Aluko’s portrayal of Robeson is spot on. In about an
hour you learn everything about Robeson, but this is no dry history lesson rather a thrilling, moving and marvellously entertaining musical drama. Aluko’s singing of Robeson songs like Ol’ Man River and Steal Away is totally soulful and convincing – just like this show! Joogleberry Playhouse, 15 May ✌✌✌✌✌ Bill Smith
Coco Peru (New York) Miss Coco Peru has come to Brighton and she likes it. One of the East Coast’s foremost drag artistes has arrived to tell her life story and sing her soundtrack. In parts funny, in others melancholic, Miss Coco skillfully intertwined tales of growing up in New York as ‘the boy-girl who lives in the pink house – they were right, it was pink’, to exploring our own Pavilion and the wonders of the gift shop. In keeping each tale so true and close to home she was telling the story who had ever felt different or excluded, and as such kept her audience close and full of affection for their bittersweet spokesperson. Komedia 18 May ✌✌✌✌ Victoria Nangle
Daughters of Albion In an odd juxtaposition, Girls Aloud played the Brighton Centre while we watched some of the most brilliant female songstresses the country has to offer and a band to match. Kathryn Williams acted as
host and sang like a Scouse angel, dueting with Neill MacColl. Norma Waterson proved once more that her voice is beyond compare, her range of styles unlimited. Lisa Knapp seemed reedy at the start but her tones warmed as the night went on. June Tabor has a monumental voice and totally compelling delivery, she also has an infectious intensity balanced with humour. Lou Rhodes showed her power and commanded the stage like the star she is becoming. Bishi’s combination of Indian tonality and instrumentation combined with ear-cupping folk traditions had people clamouring to buy her CD after the show. An evening of musical genius. Brighton Dome, 13 May ✌✌✌✌✌ Andrew Kay
Shakespeare á la Carte In this unlikely setting, three actors drawn from the National Theatre and Royal Shakespeare Company performed bite-sized quotes, passages and scenes from the bard’s oeuvre. With a menu at the table, ‘customers’ were able to order coffee, soft drinks and pastries along with their morsels of Shakespeare. Dressed as waiters, and utilising the whole venue, the actors were able to mix up the deep tragedy and surreal comic elements of Shakespeare, entertaining a family-friendly crowd. Whether a Shakespearean scholar or a newcomer, this served as a brilliantly realised reminder of the depth and scope of our greatest ever playwright. Pizza Express, 11 May ✌✌✌✌✌

33 Music Gamarjobat – The Western As reliable as ever, this mixture of mime, clowning and storytelling from the Japanese double act was excellent. With the first section of the show comprising their usual warm ups to get the audience going, involving audience participation no one had a problem with, this good-humoured, highly creative and entertaining double act had us in the palms of their trick-filled hands. The second section of the show told a tale amalgamated from a number of Clint Eastwood classics: of love, betrayal and family; with a classic aside in tin can shooting and a makeshift fishing line. Not to be missed or taken for granted, standards have remained as unbelievably high as ever. Fantastic. Komedia, 18 May

INTERVIEW
Sugared Almond Pop rebel Marc Almond talks to Andrew Kay about his career, his accident and his fans as he prepares for a show at Bexhill’s De la Warr Pavilion It’s good to see you on the road again. It’s sort of an ongoing tour. It started last year and its going on bit by bit because I find it hard to do 30 dates in a row these days. Marc Almond admitting to getting old is it? No, no – well it could be. Since the accident it’s hard for me to do a lot of shows in a run. Did the accident change you creatively? It made me look at my life in a different way, it made me realise what I am good at, made me look at things in a more positive and realistic way. My cup used to be half empty and now it’s half full. I was very pessimistic about everything, negative all the time. Now I try to see the positive side. I’m lucky to be able to get back on stage and make records again. Since the accident I have been re-evaluated and there is a new interest in my work. Maybe it’s because I am 50 and been making music for 27 years, that’s a lot of records. You have had a long and consistent career, in the public eye since the first hit in 1981. Consistently inconsistent, up and down. I have made records that have captured the public and ones that have pleased me more than anyone else. But I’ve been lucky to have a core of fans that have been aware of me throughout the journey. It’s nice to have two sides to an audience. In the shows I try to do a cross section of those different sides of my music. Difficult within two hours. Lots gets left out that I would like to keep in, but that would be self-indulgent. Why have you chosen Bexhill? I like to choose places that have nice venues, The De La Warr Pavilion is beautiful, that’s important to me. I despair when I end up in some boring rock venue. I am inspired by playing nice places. Since the accident and my 50th birthday I decided that with the final days of my life, however long that is, I want to do what I want to do and play places that I want to play, just do what makes me happy and I hope that makes my fans happy as well. Word is that you did not want to play Brighton but you have since announced that you will be playing the Jools Holland Christmas gig at The Brighton Centre. Oh yes, it’s not that I don’t want to play Brighton, I did it with Soft Cell a few years ago. I will play anywhere if it’s an interesting place, if I like the venue. I am touring with Jools a lot this year and it gets me to an audience that might not know me. It’s a big band and I get a chance to do songs with that big band feel. Tainted Love sounds great as a big band song. It’s a great experience being on stage with Jools, it pushes me as an artist. You have always had a strong visual presence, does that come from your art school background? Yes, two years in Southport and three at Leeds fine art department – in my final year Soft Cell were formed. I was never good at painting or sculpture but I put my energy into performance art. Some were pretty bizarre, the poly had a reputation for the bizarre. Some of it was a desperate cry for attention. It was also about how you could shock people – and learning how to stop doing that. Do you still enjoy shocking people? No I don’t, at my age it would be a bit tragic. Even in Soft Cell I never intended to shock people, I was on Top of The Pops and a few people rang in and said I was a corrupter of Britain’s youth, I got complaints but I was just being me. I never set out to be offensive. But once I tapped into that I did kind of use it. Are you planning to carry on performing? They’ll have to drag me off stage with a winch. Are you becoming the Cliff Richard of the dark side? He’s not doing so badly is he? He’s pretty good, if I can be the dark side of Cliff I will be doing okay. There’s a duet just begging to be recorded isn’t there? What would you do? You know I would kind of love to, that would be fantastic. But I don’t know what, I can’t think of that off-the-cuff but it is an interesting
prospect, me and Cliff. I just love being on stage and making records. It’s the only thing that I know how to do well and I can’t imagine my life without it. After the accident I forced myself back onto stage and into the studio long before I was well. I was recovering still when I started working. It was difficult and stressful for me but that’s what I had to do, to push myself and get out there. I’m lucky that I have been able to do that and since, I am better, more focused in my singing and my performing, giving it more energy. Is Marc Almond 2008 in a happy place? Yes I’m in a good place, looking forward to doing an album this year, probably my last album of totally original songs, self written. That’s the way I feel at the moment, I enjoy singing songs by other writers more, I have felt throughout my career, since Marc and the Mambas, covering Scott Walker and Jacques Brel, these are the songs that I do best and its what I want to do more of now. Big torch songs, chansons, sometime I do concerts that appeal to a more hardcore Marc Almond fan who knows my work more intimately. They like that more, the intimate shows. Do you look at the audience and think my god they have grown old with me? Yes it’s nice to see familiar faces but I see younger people discovering me for the first time. Maybe they like bands that were influenced by 80s music, 80s revivals, I try to stay away from those. I had great time back then but I don’t want to keep going back there or live in it. I like to be moving forward. But yes young people are still coming to see me, teenagers and of course my older fans. Do they bring along their kids? Yes, that’s great for me, I love to see that cross section. I enjoy doing all the songs, the pop crossover stuff, the chansons and more obscure stuff too. Your autobiography was well received, is there another volume in you? Well I have done two books, Tainted Life and In Search Of The Pleasure Palace, I don’t know, maybe at some point I would like to cover the last few years and the accident. I am too busy living my life at the moment. People write books at 19 now, too soon, all they have done is a reality TV show. I think you need to have lived life and experienced it to share that with people. We would rather see you live on stage than in the jungle trying to escape. I can’t see myself doing that, but never say never, I might have a giant tax bill, that would be a last option. I don’t think I could stand that scrutiny, people seeing the worst side of you. But you have coped with your life being scrutinised for a very long time. I think as the years have gone on the me on stage and the private me are very different. You do become a character and you don’t want to let people down, their expectations but there is a side of me that is very private. I am accessible off stage, I will chat but I can be very shy, I lead a normal life and keep myself to myself. I have very few music, show business or celebrity friends. I have a small circle of friends and lead a quiet life – until I get on stage or promote a record. What shape will the Bexhill show take? I may start with a small acoustic set and build up to the nine piece band. I change the set around all the time, I like to do that and I like to play a wide range of songs from my career. I am really looking forward to that, it will be a great night. Marc Almond appears live at The De la Warr Pavilion, Bexhill on Sea, Saturday 7 June 7.30pm 01424 229111 www.dlwp.com latest 7 27

With a series of interviews with friends, family, associates and lovers, interspersed with film from Baker’s earlier life and some key modern-day

La Vie En Rose (12A)
Dir: Olivier Dahan A rather melodramatic look at the life of the Little Sparrow this won Marion Cotillard the Best Actress award at the recent Oscars. The film tells the story of Edith Piaf and her often turbulent life. With an alcoholic mother and circus-performer father, Piaf’s was a life lived in turmoil. The film follows Piaf as she is discovered and transported to international acclaim, but revels mainly in the heartache she carried with her throughout her career. Thankfully, the music remains the true star throughout. Showing at Odeon

FILM How has it been to play a role model for single women when you’re married? I don’t know if it’s that or that it’s the relationship between the women that has been so important for single women. It’s a story about friendship. Do you have strong friendships? Yeah, I do. Most of my friends have been my friends for 15, 20 years, some 30 years. My friends are everything to me and I hope I’m the kind of friend to them that they are to me. The show had a large gay following. Were you aware of that early on? To me, because I’m from a metropolitan city I always think that the gay community is part of culture. It became clear to us early on that they were a committed audience.
Sex in the movies Sarah Jessica Parker talks to Latest 7 about fashion, friendship and strangers’ sex lives, oh and the cinematic return of Sex and the City First of all let’s do the fashion? The dress is Versace and the jacket is Halston. Kirsten Davis said people regard you as a sex therapist and approach you saying, “Well, this is what happened to me…” Well, I wish that were true. It’s not? No, not really. When the show first aired people would be very frank and candid and just tell me very intimate details of their lives. Really men and women, honestly. But people have now weaned themselves of that need. How did you react when a complete stranger pours their heart out? I’m the least candid and forthright person so that conversation is very surprising.
How did you move SATC on? How do you make it pertinent? In terms of Carrie’s life, much more is at stake. There’s a lot more time invested in her relationship with Big (Chris Noth), her friendships, her career and the destination point in life. Everything has more value, as you get older. It’s less about what is a hot club.
How aware were you that people saw you as a fashion icon? Patricia Field’s (designer) work on the show was as important as the storytelling. She’s very good at telling a story with fashion. She has a great sense of fashion historically… So did you learn anything from her? Yes, everything. No rules. All rules should be thrown out the window. The hits are enormous and the misses comical. Did you ever say no to her? I’ve never said no to Pat.. I will stay in a fitting for 13 hours. I will try on everything even if something looks absurd. I’ve learned an enormous amount from her. This idea that I’m some fashion icon is, in large part, due to Pat.
But will it retain shock value? I think that’s for whoever’s spending their hardearned money to say what is shocking.
Do you have a shoe fetish as Carrie does? [She laughs.] I don’t. I don’t! I’m sorry.
Did you ever fear Carrie was as superficial? I think there’s obviously a lot of sustenance to Carrie and I realise that a great part of her loves fashion and has a great relationship with clothes, but it’s not the sum of who she is.
What can you tell us about Carrie’s journey in the movie? The movie is so packed. Something major happens that changes who she is She’s a new person in a lot of ways, because she finds herself at the crucible for the first time.
Also showing… A quick look at this week’s releases Brokeback Mountain (15) Dir: Ang Lee What with Heath Ledger’s final roles (in Batman Begins sequel The Dark Knight and Terry Gilliam’s The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnass) coming up, it’s an ideal time to see what may be remembered as his greatest performance. Acclaimed as a modern classic, this tragic tale of love and lust between two male cattleherds is all the more poignant with Ledger’s early demise. Showing at Duke of York’s

Joining the star-studded franchise for this jaunt are Transformers hot property Shia LaBoeuf as Indy’s rebellious sidekick, Ray Winstone as a rival adventurer, Cate Blanchett as the bob-wearing Russian villain and small roles for Brit thesps John Hurt and Jim Broadbent. Early reviews are mixed, so the jury’s out whether pensioner Ford can still cut it as The Man in the Hat. Showing at Cineworld, Odeon and Worthing
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (PG) Dir: Steven Spielberg This has been a long time coming, but after nearly two decades, the long-rumoured, semimythologised fourth Indy movie is here! The bulk of the creative team responsible for the original classic trilogy are back on board, including Steven Spielberg directing, George Lucas producing, Harrison Ford starring and even Karen Allen returning as Indy’s love interest, Marion Ravenwood. The plot’s been kept pretty secret, though at time of going to press, we do know there’s a strong
Iron Man (12A) Dir: Jon Favreau Iron Man is one of the less likeable superheroes. Let’s face it: an arrogant, billionaire weapons developer was never going to be as charming as geeky kid Peter Parker. Still, it’s exactly this anti-hero appeal that makes Iron Man a fascinating choice for a blockbuster. Adding to the ‘interesting’ factor is edgy thesp Robert Downey Jr playing the billionaire in question, Tony Stark, and Swingers/Friends star turned rom-com director Jon Favreau helming the production. Downey Jr’s businessman is nearly offed in Afghanistan
by his rival. Forced to use his scientific genius to both stay alive and escape from his captors, he creates a metal suit of electronic armour and Iron Man is born. Co-starring Jeff Bridges and Gwyneth Paltrow. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon Sex and the City (15) Dir: Michael Patrick King That rarest of summer beasts, the true chickflick blockbuster, swoops in as Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda’s longawaited big screen debut hits the UK. Gossip magazines and the tabloids have been Iron Man
salivating at the prospect of more tales from the city, and this outing picks up where the series ended, with Carrie engaged to her Mr Big. Needless to say there’ll be complications galore on the way to Carrie’s big day, as Samantha gets ready to eat every man in the congregation. Expect everything from the series, plus all the best summer fashions as Sarah Jessica Parker and co square up to the likes of Indy, Iron Man and The Caped Crusader for one hell of a brawl. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? (12A) Dir: Morgan Spurlock The slightly tongue in cheek documentary maker behind the junk food expose Super Size Me returns with this attempt at finding the world’s most wanted man. With no military training, Spurlock decides it’s time he stepped in where the world’s top agencies have failed and heads off to the Middle East. However unlikely Spurlock is to actually track Bin Laden down, as with all the best stories, the end result doesn’t count as much as the journey there. Presented with Spurlock’s likeable mix of ballsy lack of self-preservation and deadpan humour, this should be another enjoyable stab at popularizing politics.

Wishing well Zara Friend finds out about a fundraising event at Goodwood, in aid of Winston’s Wish charity Winston’s Wish, the charity for bereaved children, are holding two key fundraising events this summer in the hope it will help it meet an unprecedented demand for it services in the region. Winston’s Wish helps bereaved children nationwide through its unique helpline. Additionally, in West Sussex it operates a bespoke service offering oneto-one support with young people affected by death in the family. “Children need a great deal of help and support to aid their understanding of what has happened and help them move forward and grow into resilient adults,” explains Clare Scherer, who runs the county’s operation. “Fundraising events are vital to ensure we can maintain services and, in fact, we need to expand still further to meet a growing demand across West Sussex where our service is free.” Therefore, Winston’s Wish is staging a massive day out for the family at the world-famous Goodwood motor racing circuit on Sunday 8 June, followed by a summer ball in Arundel in August. It is hoped people will come along to the event with friends and family for a great day out. “Bring the family, friends, neighbours and colleagues,” says Antonia Stringer from Winston’s Wish. “Or even come on your own and have some fun in the sun and help raise vital funds for kids.” The fun starts at 10am on Sunday 8 June at Goodwood. There will be a bouncy castle, fun stalls, a big balloon race, and delicious refreshments – or enjoy a picnic on the beautiful lawns. “One of the attractions is that families can bring their bikes and cycle round the circuit, or just take it easy and enjoy the many other great attractions laid on for the day,” explains Antonia. “We are expecting groups to enter and compete among themselves, while families may just enjoy the circuit, following in the path of racing legends.” Then in August, the slightly more prestigious, yet just as enjoyable, Black Tie and Diamond Ball will be held at the Hilton Avisford Park Hotel, in Arundel on Saturday 16 August. The £80 tickets are already being snapped up by businesses and individuals so join in the celebrations and raise money for a good cause. For details of either event, or to register now to cycle the Goodwood circuit, call Antonia on 01243 775310 or email astringer@winstonswish.org.uk. Tickets for the day at Goodwood on Sunday 8 June cost £8 on the day, but just £5 in advance – so act now!

STAND-UP COMEDY&BOOKS
A laughing matter Victoria Nangle realises the value in knowing the layout of your venue, and then using it to your advantage Playing at a different venue can change how you perform your set no end. I almost fell off the stage the other day I was enjoying my new environment so much – really and truly. I was so deeply getting into the idea of being a spider that had been hit by a growth ray (as is my wont approximately 45 seconds into each of my performances) that the bar at the end of the stage simply called to me, like a Siren, as the ideal place to grow on. Luckily I didn’t respond – like Odysseus, I can ignore Sirens me. It tempted and tempted me as a great place for my foot to land as I grew, and as I reached legwards a tiny voice inside told me my everextending limbs might not quite reach that far and I could go from a comedy act to a tumbling act in the blink of an eye. I paid heed and fortunately only left the stage once my time was up, with laughter and applause helping me on my way and both legs under me.
“It roots the comic with their audience, reminding them that they’re all in the same place” However, part of me is still curious as to whether my foot could’ve reached without me falling over in an unexpected heap. It would’ve been an individual and unique move to make that could only have happened in that particular pub. It would’ve made them know that although I know my act backwards I’d thought of something slightly different just for them. It would’ve let them in on the risk factor as I wobbled right near the end of my reaching. The unknown and the unsure but trying anyway – surely that’s what a new gag’s all about anyway, right? Especially if it’s tailored to the ‘right here, right now’ audience. Which is why a variety of venues have been such godsends to major hitters in comedy, as well as us tiddlers in Little League. The big acts refer to the bumps on the head of the Dome Concert Hall, the circuit regulars to the pipes in the ceiling downstairs at Komedia. Those on their way up have commented on the goings on we could see through The Providence’s huge windows on to Western Road as they played the old Sidesplitters comedy club inside. It roots the comic with their audience, reminding them that they’re all in the same place – not on or watching television – and that the comic is so clever that they’ve just thought of that little site-specific gem on the spot. Making everything else they have to say seem impromptu too. I didn’t think about this when I lifted my leg to hover dangerously towards the bar staff t’other night though. No, I just went back to my primeval eight-year-old self who wanted to climb all the things I could reach. And I thought maybe I could reach it. However, my non eightyear-old self luckily realised the value in measuring first.

Write club John Davies finds that more than just a young girl goes missing in Lesley Thomson’s local mystery Apart from publishing a fine array of atlases, respected Brighton-based publisher Myriad Editions recently expanded its list to include what it describes as ‘edgy literary fiction, activist non-fiction and documentary comic books’. In terms of fiction, The Brighton Book published in 2005 was an exercise in textual cartography, aiming to capture a sense of place through short pieces by a myriad of well-known authors in a well designed package. In 2006 came Martine McDonagh’s intriguingly titled I Have Waited and You Have Come and last year A Kind of Vanishing by Lesley Thomson. The vanishing in question is that of a nine-yearold girl called Alice playing hide and seek in the fascinating old Tide Mills village near Newhaven. The strange Eleanor, Alice’s unwilling holiday friend, is suspected by her family and the investigating chief inspector for her fantasies and her “vivid observations; the little girl’s stream of words made the stiff-suited man shuffle about uneasily on his chair.” I have to say, I found myself shuffling about uneasily on my chair with a growing sense of sadness as I read this book to its predictable end. I don’t think I really cared about what happened to any of the characters, including minor ones who come and go charmlessly. Although the end may have been predictable – surely most people will guess who dunnit by page 125 – the way it is told is not. At many points I admired Thomson’s deft twist of point of view or temporal location and flowing, entrancing prose. But a kind of constant turning away of the narrative into cul-de-sacs and misapprehension is no substitute for page-turning plot twists and real suspense. “This minute action was the start of a policy of disguise and concealment that would seal fates and change lives”, the authorial voice intervenes in chapter three, almost a comment on the novelist’s prestidigitation. Of course, the mystery novel is a series of tricks on the reader but usually the reader shouldn’t be aware of any of the magic’s machinery. One character exorcises his father “by whipping up a hectic family life involving dizzying sessions of charades”. The author does much the same thing without any trace of a believable story. So many basic questions seemed to have been unasked narratively and editorially. That’s reflected in the sparse dialogue in the book, there’s very little conversation or discussion. The story in the first half of the book progresses through a series of descriptions of states of mind, family history, landscape and episodes. I could enjoy the deep exploration of family dynamics and childhood relationships, but they were often presented through an all-seeing third person narrative that seemed dated. Lesley Thomson can certainly write but time and again I was struck by a striking phrase, but wished I hadn’t been. My favourite was “semaphorically appreciative”. Sorry Lesley. As Beckett said in Worstward Ho: “Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” Hot off Myriad’s press is the documentary comic book Rumble Strip by Woodrow Phoenix. Phoenix and Lisa Holloway, Chair of Creative Brighton, will be in conversation about cars and cartoons at an exhibition of stunning artwork from Rumble Strip on Thursday 12 June at Castor and Pollux, Kings Road Arches, Brighton Beachfront, from 6pm onwards. Sunday June 8 sees the second of Steyning’s popular Theatre Trails, starting at 11.15am at Body Matters, 36 High Street, Steyning with Deep Tissue by Marian Kilpatrick. There’s a Family Archives Roadshow on Saturday June 14 at Brighton Library. Bring along old papers and photos and get them looked at by the experts. Also at the Library on 14 June (day before Father’s Day), 11am–2pm, my old mate Shedman will be running Best Mates, a drop-in creative workshop for boys and their father figures (dads, guardians, carers). See you there!

New Arc Line-up Arc, the popular seafront nightclub and home to one of Brighton’s biggest indie nights, Hold Up, has announced a new line-up of club nights and live music after its stint as a live venue at this year’s Great Escape. The relaunched gay and gayfriendly night Dynamite Boogaloo moves to Arc in June, with Brighton girl group The Pipettes playing live on 12 June. Fellow locals, chaotic rockers Maths Class, now have a weekly residency, Problems Solved, on Tuesdays, where they invite their musical associates to perform. Hold Up itself remains in its regular slot of Saturday nights. Mondays will be devoted to indie, Wednesdays to reggae, ska and rocksteady, Fridays to the 60s and Sundays are soul alldayers. For full details, see listings.
You’d be forgiven for not having heard of Swedish singer-songwriter Lykke Li, though chances are you’re going to be hearing a lot about her in 2008. Her self-financed debut album Youth Novels is released in the UK this week, with a brief UK and Ireland tour by the talented Stockholm 22-year-old. Recorded with Bjorn Yttling, of fellow Swedes Peter, Bjorn and John, the band responsible for last year’s crossover hit ‘The Young Folks’, the album is a classy blend of quirky electro-pop, classic romantic songwriting and youthful yearning. The welltravelled Lykke Li Zachrisson has lived in a Portuguese mountainside village, Lisbon, India, and New York and Youth Novels sounds just as multi-cultural. Incorporating euro-pop, classical guitar and even the harpsichord, flute and theremin, there is something both familiar and markedly different about the record’s skewed pop. A former professional dancer on Swedish TV, her big musical break came when she started recording songs with Bjorn and created her own ultra-successful MySpace page. It would be easy to assume hype over substance following previous blogging band successes, though beneath the marketing spiel is a bold new artist whose time might just be now. You’re playing Brighton on your UK tour. What are your impressions of the city? Lykke Li: I haven’t been there yet, so Brighton has all the chances in the world of becoming my favourite city! There seem to be a number of Scandinavian pop acts coming through at the moment. Do you think this is a full-scale Scandinavian invasion? LL: Hmm… I don’t know. Time will tell and there is a time for everything; it just happened to be our time at the moment. I think the Chinese people are the next ones taking over. How was recording your debut album with Bjorn from Peter, Bjorn and John? LL: It was one of my best creative experiences so far. Hopefully we’ll work together again soon.
What have been your key influences? LL: Passionate people and love stories gone wrong. How’s travelling so much affected your music? LL: It’s made me more open-minded and not afraid of mixing things up a little. Do you mind being compared to Robyn? LL: I don’t like being compared to anyone, but if I’m compared to anyone, it might as well be Robyn as I like her. You’re playing Bestival in September. Who are you looking forward to seeing? LL: I’m really looking forward to seeing Amy Winehouse live. You’ve got quite a sexy image (your MySpace page describes ‘Jane Birkin topless’ as an influence)- do you use sexuality to sell records? LL: Not at all. I’m doing the same thing as every man out there. Sex has nothing to do with my image, though maybe passion. Are you a fan of New Wave cinema? Your music and video to ‘Little Bit’ seems influenced by it. LL: ‘Little Bit’ was mostly inspired by the cinema I have in my head. Your music seems preoccupied with love and yearning. Do you work better in or out of love? LL: I’m at my most productive when I’m unhappily in love. Lykke Li, Friday 6 June, Prince Albert

MUSIC Duke Special Aka Pete Wilson and his dreadlocked Robert Smith look, brings his fantastical old school music-hall vibes. A great voice, some truly epic songs rich in melody and dripping with pathos. Tuesday 3 June, Komedia JH John Otway & Wild Willy Barrett The two hit wonder Otway teams up with old partner for ‘I’m Really Free’, and a healthy dose of punk attitude and funny anecdotes. Tuesday 3 June, Pavilion Theatre, Worthing JH
tastes; from half-formed ambient soundscapes of Beach House to the Beach Boys-inspired 60s production aesthetics of Fleet Foxes, this is clever, yet a little soulless stuff. Monday 9 June, Audio JH Merz It’s strange that things never quite happened for this veteran singer songwriter who still plies his trade in soulful rock ‘n’ roll tunes, albeit in an electronica medium. Decent, catchy songwriting and introspective dancefloor action. Tuesday 3 June, Komedia NA Pigeon Detectives Someone once suggested The Pigeon Detectives wouldn’t go far because “they’re too f*cking ugly”. The fact they’re playing venues this big nowadays suggests otherwise. Eminently pogo-able sing-along choruses and big pop riffs elevate this band above similar laddish rockers. Tuesday 3 June, Brighton Dome NA
Yusa Yusa It’s not all Octogenarian Buena Vista musicians, you know; Yusa is a young female Cuban whose mix of upbeat and balladry gives a modern-day twist.to the Buena Vista sound. Tuesday 3 June, Komedia JH
Koen Holtkamp + Pausal + Laish Quartet + Twenty One Crows The maverick US experimental electro weirdo Holtkamp may be headlining, though the real stars of tonight’s show are Brighton’s own Twenty One Crows. Brilliantly low-key countryfolk from these gloomy locals. Wednesday 4 June, The Hope NA
Doll and the Kicks + Hold Fire + Dr Razzu Great triple bill of local acts with something that little bit extra, headlined by the spiky indie of ‘The Kicks’. Hold Fire are a promising Cold Play-esque proposition while Dr Razzu add a poppy grunge ethic to proceedings. Wednesday 4 June, Brighton Coalition JH
Petula Clark Apart from the obvious big hit ‘Downtown’, did you realise Petula Clark’s been in the music business for a staggering 54 years now? Full credit to the sixties pop queen! Friday 6 June, Eastbourne Congress Theatre NA
Kinky Friedman legendary American countryfied maverick – a man who positively cultivates a clownish outlaw aura (do they know what ‘kinky means out in the USA?), and who writes superbly mad cookery books. I have one in fact, and often refer to it for ideas. Crazy… Thursday 5 June, Komedia JH
Amenra + Battlefields + Plague Sermon + Thrown to the Wolves When you think of Belgian music, you’re more likely to consider Soulwax or dEUS, right? Well, incredibly heavy doom metal outfit Amenra prove their country has an intensely impolite underbelly. Saturday 7 June, Engine Rooms NA
Lykke Li + El Perro Del Mar Check the interview on previous page for a Lykke Li interview, but worth going to the gig to see the support alone! Also from Sweden, her new album is a reflection on the idea of heaven, and is a suitably oddball affair that includes strings courtesy of the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra. No, they won’t be at the gig... Friday 6 June, Prince Albert JH Beach House + Fleet Foxes Both acts are on the Bella Union label, and both are acquired

MUSIC REVIEWS A weekly review of local and national releases There’s way too much sub-standard electro-pop out there (hands up Robots in Disguise), so it’s a relief to hear the sublime Flykiller, whose mix of offbeat electro-techno beats and spoken word vocal is akin to Portishead’s glitchy hip hop beats married to the soulful vocals of Beth Gibbons. Occasionally they do stray down the electro-pop do-it-bynumbers, but generally speaking Experiments in Violent Light is otherworldly, often spooky fare topped off by a rockin’ remix of the ‘Flykiller’ track by David Holmes. Synth-poppers Ladytron had the advantage of being at the vanguard of the movement at the beginning of the century. Unfortunately, their fourth album Vericifero is a rather bloodless and aimless affair, marrying the post punk sounds of bands like The Passion with the robotic rhythms of most modern electro-pop outfits. How funny; suddenly it’s ok to turn in harmony-rich vocals, with a robust folk heart, married to acoustic guitars, somewhat infantile lyrics and transmitted back to the listener via zealous 60s production techniques and sounds. Why now? Is it the internet age married to the increasingly rare and vintage vinyl being discovered by sons and grandsons? Anyway, America’s Fleet Foxes are another contemporary band who have discovered and devoured the sixties songbook of acts such as The Beach Boys, Moby Grape and Jefferson Airplane. Rather like a too good few of their contemporaries, they are not forging a sound consummate with 2008, and it feels all too strongly that here are some young folk demonstrating their crate-digging, anorak-obsessed tendencies. Clever, yes. Passionate? No. Marrying traditional African rhythms (and in particular, Senegalese kora music) with Western style strings and a jazz aesthetic, Seckou Keita and his internationalist band play with experimental tunings, virtuoso kora playing, percussion, bass, violin, cello and the occasional vocal, as heard on the exceptional The Silimbo Passage album. Championing eco friendliness via the use of recycled materials for their CDs they’ve just supported Miriam Makeba as part of last month’s Brighton Festival. It’s risky to believe all the hype surrounding new bands. Usually, it’s unfounded, like with Geordies Hungover Stuntmen. Debut record Blame The BBC doesn’t warrant the critical acclaim afforded it, as it’s mostly pretty standard sub-Pigeon Detectives laddish indie rock. Still, the odd really enjoyable track delving into old fashioned, Merseybeat catchiness with big singalong choruses saves this effort from the scrapheap entirely. After last week’s listen to some old and revised Mudhoney, it’s about time we heard some new stuff, so here we have brand new studio album The Lucky Ones. Though a little less raw-sounding than earlier material, this has the trademark Mudhoney fuzzy lo-fi sound.

Jaime ‘til dawn Jaime Pettit gets her dose of glitter sprinkled Dynamite as things get all Super and Boogaloo down at the Komedia After being a regular at Dynamite Boogaloo in its original home I knew to expect nothing less than flamboyant absurdity. I was not disappointed, Super DM at Komedia was like opening the door to an audition room for a West End musical. Like a rabbit in the headlights I was dazzled by facial glitter, insane wigs, the odd Rodeo cowboy and a special appearance by Liza Minelli and her Cabaret chorus. A huge venue, with a stage fit for our dynamite king. Oh and there’s toilets aplenty. Amen. Like a stage production of Goldmember, Boogaloo Stu and Dolly Rocket squeaked on stage in their golden get-up for an evening of scandalous cabaret capers. You find out who your friends are as they surge you on stage to play victim to the dignity swallowing forfeits! Phobias must not include: nudity, pickled eggs, cheesey balls or the exchange of saliva with unknowns. Miss Dynamite Sal dives into the phonebox and emerges as the super glue of the evening spinning an eclectic mix of rock pop and indie. Super Dynamite Boogaloo is by far the most extroverted of nights, with no room for shrinking violets but plenty of room for diminishing dignity! So your mates fancy a generic Saturday package with monotonous head nodding? Dare to be different, because boogaloo is shaking a whole load of different your way.

Let me entertain you Whether he’s winning Brighton’s Golden Handbag Award for Best Cabaret Bar or coming runner up in the Best Landlord/Manager, Queen’s Arms proprietor Andy Feest is a busy man with a mission to entertain You’ve been running the Queen’s Arms for 16 years, what brought you to Brighton and Hove? I had some friends who lived in Brighton and I used to come to town for nights out. I just fell in love with the place and decided to move here. Where are you from originally? I was born and raised in Worthing, so not too far. Describe yourself in three words. Outgoing, fun and generous. Tell us something about yourself no-one knows? When I was four-years-old I had the middle finger of my right hand cut off by a lawn mower! My dad was pulling the mower back up the garden path and I decided to put my hand a little too close to the blades. The ambulance guys thought that my mum was the patient as she was so hysterical. The hospital managed to sew it back on but it still looks a little strange. Also at school my nickname was Bubbles as my hair was a very large perm – not dissimilar to Michael Jackson’s old do! What’s your most annoying habit? Talking to myself. What do you find most annoying in other people? Not listening to what I say. Where did you get the idea to create the Queen’s Arms? When I moved to Brighton I was a bed salesman by day and worked evenings as a doorman at Club Revenge. I always had this ambition of running my own pub or club business – creating a place where people could go and be entertained, whatever night of the week. I basically saw a niche in the market. So even if your birthday happened on a Monday or a Tuesday you could celebrate with a great atmosphere. The Queen’s Arms became available and I ploughed everything I had into it. A lot has changed over the years, has Brighton and Hove become a better place for LGBT people to live and work in those years? The answer to that question is yes and no. Going back ten years I felt there was much more of a community spirit. I suppose, then gay pubs were not as open as they are now and people were more inclined to look out for one another. Of course now its much more open and being gay is widely accepted by the majority of people, which makes Brighton and Hove an ideal place to live. Has the mood changed over the years in relation to the gay scene and what it has to offer? There is a lot more choice on offer now and the mood has changed more since the introduction of later licensing that means people’s evenings start much later. Most venues don’t get busy until 11pm, which means there is not much atmosphere, however the QA seems to buck the trend and we are seen as a place you can go to in the earlier part of the evening and be entertained. I think nowadays it’s great to see gay people coming into the bar with their straight friends. I believe this is a wonderful thing, hence our new motto: “Queen’s Arms For Him! For Her! For Everyone!“ You’ve had some famous names performing in your bar, who has been the most memorable? Katrina and The Boy, who no longer perform, was my personal favourite along with Phil Starr and Dockyard Doris, who are sadly no longer with us. However, Dave Lynn packed out the Queen’s Arms every Sunday afternoon for 40 weeks a year for nearly four years – hosting game shows, which I devised based on TV Shows, my favourite being the House Party – based on the Noel Edmonds show of the same name. 38 latest 7
Like many other gay bars in Brighton and Hove you do a lot for charities. Why is it so important for you to do so? I think it is really important to keep supporting the local charities because they offer so much to local people. Local authority funding is continually being cut which is making it very difficult far many charities to continue offering much needed services to the community. I am also a great believer in giving back something to the wider community and I’m glad that my business enables me to do so. What up and coming events is there for the Queen’s Arms? Something very special is coming up! We will be having an exclusive showing of a Phil Starr/Dockyard Doris performance on our Big Screen. There is also the ‘Pride’s Got Talent’ heats, where someone gets the chance to appear at Pride and perform in front of thousands of people. There’s also the Annual Mr Gay QA Contest, the Annual Drag Ball and the Live Like A Star competition. From now and through the summer we will have live entertainment on Saturday afternoons with lots more exciting things to come.

London Gay Men’s Chorus
NEWS Terrence Higgins Trust at Pride
The London Gay Men’s Chorus turned out on the last weekend of the Brighton Festival Fringe to give people a taste of what’s to come at their forthcoming Theatre Royal performance in the Pavilion Gardens. With the unique sound of 150 gay men in full voice, the show Songs of Innocence and Experience is an entertaining, moving adventure in song including works by Aaron Copland, Ludwig van Beethoven and Stephen Sondheim along with songs made famous by Kate Bush, The Doors, Frank Sinatra and Edith Piaf. “The show looks at how experience alters our perception of love, friendship and relations,” says Chris Jameson, the organiser. “Both contemporary and classical, the show speaks to the adult and child in us all and reflects the London Gay Men’s Chorus at its very best.” Songs of Innocence and Experience, Theatre Royal, Sunday 15 June 7pm. £17£26 (ticket price includes £1 restoration)
The Terrence Higgins Trust (THT) in Brighton is looking for volunteers to join the THT team at Pride on Saturday 2 August. The THT needs people who will hand out condoms and provide advice on ‘staying safe’ at events during the Pride weekend. The organisation needs volunteers to target partygoers in four shifts; during the parade itself, in Preston Park, street outreach around St James Street and work in gay venues during the evening. Volunteers can wear attention grabbing costumes or a THT T-shirt. “Volunteering for THT over Pride is a real laugh. You’ll also learn new skills and meet new people,” says Ben Tunstall, who is organising THT’s presence at Brighton Pride. “We’ve got thousands of condoms to hand out so we need plenty of people to help us. If you can spare the time, please join us!” Volunteers must be able to come to a two-hour briefing on Friday 1 August at 6pm at THT offices (61 Ship St, Brighton) the night before Pride. If you’d like to volunteer or want more information, please call Amy on 01273 764 200 or email amy.leftwich@tht.org.uk

Will Harris is looking to get physical but might just have to WAG it Sunday afternoon and it’s football in Preston Park, with the Lesbians, all of whom – as you might imagine – have a great deal of experience of the beautiful game. I, on the other hand, have managed – over the years – to accumulate all the sporting expertise of a lamp post, having spent most of my childhood PE lessons at the side of the field nattering to a dinner lady. But this particular sunny Sunday I felt in need of some macho physical exercise, so I dusted off my Y-Chromosome and prepared to show those girls who they were dealing with. Unfortunately, as it turned out, they were dealing with Shirley Temple. My first stumbling block arose when one of the group of lads playing nearby peeled off his top, revealing a body that – if I hadn’t been wearing my aviators – might very well have earned me a punch in the nose. “Dribble!” yelled Welsh. “DRIBBLE!” I was about to point out that she didn’t need to tell me twice, so much was I drooling over our tight-stomached neighbour, when Em came at me with a vicious side tackle. “OW! What did you do that for? You’re supposed to be my friend!” “We’re on different teams!” she yelled over her shoulder, as she sped off with the ball down the pitch. “I know, but still,” I muttered, trying to rub some life back into my shins. It was clear these girls meant business, and I was going to have to seriously step up my game if I was to escape with a shred of my masculinity intact.
Cash Queen at Po NaNa
Sunday the day of rest – for anyone who doesn't live in Brighton. This was the first time we've popped along to Cash Queen at the new venue: Po Na Na – and we liked it lots. With its quirky booths, comfy couches and sociable dance floor it was a great place to retreat to after an afternoon in the sunshine. The music was brought to us by Mick Fuller and Dulcie Danger – and kept us bouncing until it was almost too late to call in sick for work! Image and edit: Sam Milford www.realbrighton.com
“I dusted off my Y-Chromosome... to show those girls who they were dealing with. Unfortunately... they were dealing with Shirley Temple” Five minutes later and I was getting into the swing of it, by which I mean I was kicking the ball vaguely in a straight line and mostly to people on my own team. The next bruise to my ego came from an unexpected quarter: Melissa, the lipstick lesbian, who somehow managed to get the ball off me without even touching me. Being outplayed by a girl is one thing, but being outplayed by someone who looks like Marsha Brady really takes the biscuit. “William!” Welsh again, her Barry Island accent thickening with the pressure of being 3-1 down. “Why don’t you go in goal for a bit, eh?” The goal. My dreams of being a footballing superstar had come crashing down around my ears, and I’d been relegated to the five-a-side equivalent of the naughty step, miles away from everyone else. Oh well, at least it couldn’t get any worse. “Oh wow, look at the size of this daisy!” I exclaimed, bending down to take a closer look and totally oblivious to the ball as it whistled past over my shoulder. “What?” It was more comfortable on the sidelines anyway, and at least my sudden relegation allowed me ample time to drink pear cider in the sun and catch up on Heat magazine. That’s when I realised a happy truth. I may never be a great footballer, but I’d make one Hell of a WAG!

Woody Allen, Annie Hall, Tuesday, Sky Movies Indie
Will make you see the underground in a whole different light... (2006, Sky Movies Indie, 1.50am. Dir Paul Andrew Williams) A semi-professional cast and a chilling gangland revenge plot give a real sense of steel to this brilliant no-budget thriller. Prostitute Kelly (Lorraine Stanley) and 12-year-old charge Joanne (Georgia Groome) are racing for the coast to escape London – but the life they want to leave just won’t let them alone.
TUESDAY 3 Annie Hall ★★★★✩ (1977, Sky Movies Indie, 8.25pm. Dir Woody Allen) Woody Allen’s monochrome love letter to New York still looks great after all these years, and may even make you forgive all the turkeys he’s foisted on the viewing public since. Witty one-liners and some true romance make it an all-time classic comedy with a dark undercurrent.
SATURDAY 7 Osmosis Jones ★★★★✩ (2001, ITV1, 2.20am. Dir Bobby Farrelly) The strange animated mix of inner space sci-fi and scatological humour almost makes this strange movie a bit of a cult. Slobby zoo worker Frank is laid under by a horrible virus – so it’s up to an heroic flu pill, and the white blood cell cop of the title to save his insides. Burp! Team America: World Police
WEDNESDAY 4 Minority Report ★★★★✩ (2002, BBC1, 10.45pm. Dir Steven Spielberg) Tom Cruise stars as a policeman on the run in this satisfying sci-fi thriller. In a future society in which crimes are forecast before they happen the police seem to have a hold on reality – but things go awry as reality starts to buckle. Deeply paranoid and utterly exciting all at the same time.
THURSDAY 5 Lorenzo’s Oil ★★★✩✩ (1992, ITV3, 12am. Dir George Miller) Fancy a superior weepie? Then you could do worse than this early nineties effort. The true(ish) story has Susan Sarandon as a family woman whose son contracts a horrendous brain disease. Determined not to give up on him she starts on her own quest for a cure which puts her at odds with the medical establishment.
FRIDAY 6 Money Train ★★★✩✩ (1995, BBC1, 11.40pm. Dir Joseph Ruben) Toot! Toot! All aboard for an all-action crowd-pleaser starring Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson as two foster brothers whose fate depends on a special subway car stuffed with cash wooshing its way under New York city.

Movies on the box this week
London To Brighton ★★★★✩
BBC 3, coming soon The bestselling comedy series in Australia is coming to our screens. And when I say bestselling I mean that when this went to DVD it sold like hot cakes (or perhaps something more Australian!) Comedian Chris Lilley has written and stars in this, not only as the main character but as two others as well. He plays Jonah Takalua, Mr G and Ja’mie King. In the aid of research I spent an hour watching clips of this show on YouTube and the ABC website, and I have to say that I was very impressed. This has had involvement with the producers of Kath and Kim and I was worried that it would follow the same vein where it would be funny for a while but then become dull. But this looks as if it will always make you laugh, as it did for me. Jonah is a 13-year-old boy who has ‘attention deficit issues’, who is ‘not dumb but choosing not to be smart at the moment’. He is that kid everyone knew at school, who does things and says things that are rude and stupid and mean but for some reason really funny. Mr G is the overly enthusiastic drama teacher who is looking for inspiration in anything that comes along, be it the queue in the cafeteria or the tragic death of one of the pupils. The final character played by Chris Lilley is Ja’mie King, an 11th grader spending her final school year in a public school on an exchange programme. I get the feeling Ja’mie will be my favourite character. It’s slightly worrying that a grown man has managed to recreate the bitchy girl at school who has been there and got the T-shirt before you! I wouldn’t say this was ‘roll around on the floor holding your splitting sides’ funny, but it is highly amusing and I can’t wait for it to appear on our tellies. I get the feeling this will be the new comedy of the moment, which we are lacking some of at the moment. Hopefully it will do well enough to stay with us for second series. Or at least create some new catch phrases for talking birthday cards! Which now appears to be the true rating as to whether a comedy’s doing well or not. I have not seen anything exactly like this before. The only things similar are Kath and Kim and The Office, as this is filmed in a mockumentary style that only adds to its humour.
3-9 June
★★★★✩ (2004, Channel 4, 10pm. Dir Trey Parker) Korea, cruddy musicals and liberal Hollywood get it in the neck courtesy of Trey Parker and Matt Stones’ laugh-out-loud funny (and technically impressive) marionette-driven comedy. When a devilish dictator tries to take over the world, it’s time for Team America to step into Thunderbirds-style action.
SUNDAY 8 Devil in a Blue Dress ★★★★✩ (1995, BBC1, 11.20pm. Dir Carl Franklin) Walter Mosley’s clever crime novel gets the classy Hollywood treatment with a starry cast and a convincing 1940s Los Angeles setting. Denzel Washington stars as an impoverished serviceman pulled into a dark web of crime and corruption when he’s charged with seeking out a politician’s missing mistress.
MONDAY 9 Unbreakable ★★★✩✩ (2000, ITV1, 10.35pm. Dir M. Night Shyamalan) Bruce Willis is excellent in a creepy supernatural thriller about a security guard whose life changes forever after he survives a horrific train accident. When news of his good luck goes public he’s shadowed by a man who wants to explain an eerie theory about his apparent good fortune.

Trinny and Susannah investigate how many people think like Just Said Fred about their own sex appeal with a massive speed rating. Plus, they check out what men and women find attractive in the opposite sex. Good sense of humour maybe enough.
The Devil Wears Primark Channel 4, 11.10pm The great defender of cheap ethical clothes comes under investigation as Alexa Chung adds a serious string to her bow in this investigation into Primark’s claims that it doesn’t use sweat shops. Through undercover filming and interviews with factory workers the skinny pretty one gets to the bottom of it all.
The Secret Life of Mrs Beeton BBC4, 10.30pm The godmother of baking powder and the author of the housekeeping bible for many years, this feisty costume drama has a bash at portraying the real life of the cultural icon. Dead by the age of 27, Mrs B was hardly the pressed and proper figure she’s been held up as.

thursday 5 Big Brother Launch Show Channel 4, 9pm They’re he-ere! Yes, it’s that time of year again when sunburn is plentiful and a dozen people get horrendously famous for no particular talent at all. Davina introduces them one by one into the house, as well as giving us a tour of the new habitat before the guinea pigs arrive. Plus, a few sneaky hints of what’s to come.
The Big Brother Launch Night Project Channel 4, 10.40pm It’s feeling more and more like a Friday, what with Davina being on (see left) and now good old Justin Lee Collins and Alan Carr moving their Friday Night Project format to cater to the BB launch. It’s enough to confuse a person sufficiently not to make it in to work. Nice try.
Terry Jones’ Medieval Lives BBC4, 7.30pm The ex-Python funny man embarks upon a tour of the Middle Ages, concentrating on how much we actually know about the three king Richards. ‘Good’ King Richard turns out to be a rough sort, ‘Bad’ King Richard not half bad, and ‘Ugly’ King Richard – well, there’s a tale involving a certain Bard.

friday 6 The Weakest Link: Apprentice Special BBC1, 8.30pm Since all of the interviewees thought that they were so smart here’s another chance for them to strive to be the best. As we know, competition brings out the best and most charming sides of these top job rejects so pitting them against Anne Robinson should be fun.
Derren Brown: Trick or Treat Channel 4, 10pm There always had to be a twist in the tail of Derren Brown’s final show in the series. Having called back everyone who took part in previous episodes, including David Tennant, for a wrap party he then sets about catching them unawares with his woo-woo psychological illusionist magic. Will they be amazed or annoyed?
The Avengers BBC4, 12.40am Perfect timing for rolling in from a Friday night and bunging on the telly for some high-camp highkicking action. Mrs Peel looks devastatingly sexy and playful in her made to measure catsuits, while Steed tips his bowler, hangs up his umbrella and pops open some more champagne. Bally good show!
