Last week was a rocky one in Brighton with clashes between protesters and police at an arms factory (p14). Meanwhile, Barfly shocked music lovers and promoters by closing unexpectedly. Owners said it was “for a refit” but there was speculation around town that it might be because of the smoking ban, increased alcohol prices and that the economy may have hit the pub and club trade hard. The news comes on the heels of the closure of the Pressure Point. Dave Richards from Barfly has been working hard to make sure as many gigs as possible are relocated to other venues. To read more about the closure, see music news (p33) or to find out where rescheduled gigs and club nights are happening, see music listings (p36) and club listings (p37). But don’t worry, there are still hundreds of venues and gigs to go to round the city, such as Joan as Policewoman (p34), and we still have one of the best pub and club scenes in the South. Next week we will be joined by our new clubbing writer/reviewer Jaime Pettit, who will be taking over the listings job and bringing you information about all the best upcoming nights in Brighton and Hove, both in this magazine and online at www.latest7.co.uk. Please send all clubbing news, events and offers to her at clubs@thelatest.co.uk Can’t get enough of Sex and the City? Our own gay Carrie Bradshaw, Will Harris, this week ponders what it is that makes someone your type (p38). Aspiring stand-up Victoria Nangle is anticipating the warm-up to Edinburgh (p32). Andrew visited a London restaurant filled with wild animals and a violent indoor storm (p22) and on his stage page he takes a peek at a new play about Max Miller and Flamenco Express, a Spanish dance extravaganza coming to Worthing this month (p27). Sandra’s been getting fan mail (p17) and Katie Glass has been upsetting millionaire health club owner Duncan Bannatyne (p9). Our cover feature is all about local firm Plum Catering (p21) – try reading that feature without your mouth watering, it’s like eating a doughnut without licking your lips; it can’t be done. Hollywood star Casey Affleck has talked about his new movie Gone Baby Gone (p29), a film which was directed by his brother Ben and which our critic Craig Driver calls “superb on all levels” – which surely must make it worth a look. Tim Richardson enjoyed Jarvis Cocker’s Festival lecture about song lyrics (p8) and on the same page, find out how to win a Friday Night Live DVD (p8).

The Best of Friday Night Live – DVD
On Monday 19 May at the Parlure Spiegeltent, The Marilyn Monroe Show was performed – a two-hour musical journey through Marilyn Monroe’s life as told by her three alter egos: Norma Jeane, Marilyn Monroe and the little-known alter ego she created, Zelda Zonk. The show had its debut at Greenwich Theatre in 2005 and was the first time the show had been performed outside of London. The show gave audiences a never-before seen insight into the life of a woman who lived three lives. Peppered with over a dozen original toe tapping songs by Michael Dresser, The Marilyn Monroe Show promised to make fans and neutrals alike fall in love once again with one of the greatest enigmas of the last century.
Change of day, change of name and change of country to a tried and tested format, and we had some of those who would become the biggest names in British comedy breaking through on to our television screens. Hosted by Ben Elton, and introducing Jo Brand in her TV debut, Harry Enfield’s national phenomenon of a pair of characters Stavros and Loadsamoney, as well as turns from Stephen Fry, Lee Evans, Hugh Laurie, Jack Docherty, Robbie Coltrane and Dame Edna Everage, this 80s series rocked the country’s foundations of laughter. If you have fond memories of that time or simply want to know what it was like, it’s out now in a double DVD, Best of Friday Night Live (PG), for £19.99. Or you could enter our competition and be in with a chance of winning one of two copies. Simply tell us: Who hosted Friday Night Live? See below for details.
The Deaths of Ian Stone – DVD
Tara Brien (Midnight Communications)
Marilyn Prize Winner and Michael Dresser (producer)
Worth a thousand words...? On Friday 23 May at the Brighton Dome, in an exclusive Brighton Festival-commissioned lecture, Jarvis Cocker explored the function of the lyric in popular song, discussing topics such as: ‘Should songs rhyme?’, ‘Are songs poetry?’, ‘Is there anything you can’t write songs about?’, ‘Which phrases should be avoided at all costs?’ and ‘What makes a good first line?’. Armed with audio and video excerpts and some finely-tuned PowerPoint skills, Jarvis started from the controversial position of: “Song lyrics don’t really matter!”. From here, he embarked on a celebration of his craft, putting his own lyrics under the microscope alongside firm favourites from Leonard Cohen and Pete Doherty to Hot Chocolate and Amy Winehouse. Including an in-depth analysis of Richard Berry’s notorious rock ‘n’ roll anthem ‘Louie Louie’.
Ever felt like you’ve done something before? It’s more than deja vu for Ian Stone (Mike Vogel from Cloverfield) when one night he finds himself pushed in front of a train by an unknown force and wakes up in a life which is strangely familiar, but not his own. Every day he gets killed in some violent manner and every day he wakes up in a new life, with the recurring presence of his girlfriend (Christina Cole of Doctor Who) somewhere in that life. Soon he discovers that he’s at the mercy of the Harvesters – alien creatures that feed on fear. But what do they want with him? With a strong supporting British cast that includes Jaime Murray from Hustle and Michael Feast of Murphy’s Law, this is a spine-chiller of a movie. Be in with a chance of winning one of two copies of this DVD by telling us: In which city does Mike Vogel do battle with a monster in Cloverfield? See below for entry details.
Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and Ray Price: Last of the Breed – Live in Concert – DVD A once in a lifetime show gathering three of the biggest names in country music together on stage – unmissable for any country fan. These elder statesmen of classic country music (all inductees into the Country Hall Of Fame), were gathered together in March 2007 for a concert. This fantastic event sees the three legends perform 35 classic songs, including ‘Always on My Mind’, ‘Crazy’, ‘On the Road Again’, ‘Help Me Make it Through the Night’, ‘Sing Me Back Home’, ‘That’s the Way Love Goes’, ‘Whiskey River’ and many more. Bonus features include exclusive interview footage with Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and Ray Price on Willie’s tour bus as well as a personal guided tour of the bus from Willie himself. To win a copy of this new DVD, tell us: Which British pop duo covered the song ‘Always on My Mind’ in 1987? See below for entry details.
To be in with a chance of winning, email competitions@thelatest.co.uk with the title of the prize you wish to win in the subject box. Leave your answer to the question in the body of the email, along with your name, address and telephone number. Alternatively, write to us at the address at the front of the magazine.

What Katie did Katie finds bank holidays dull, with light relief from a certain stingy millionaire
Drive me crazy The week starts on a bank holiday and it's dead. I scrabble around for stories like a little journo-pig seeking truffles in a wood of words. But there is nothing to be found but mud. I start making calls. I call in all my well-connected contacts, my badly connected contacts, PRs, my friends, my family, that taxi driver who gave me a lift home the other day and that girl I met in the pub. No one has anything. No one even answers the phone. After all it's bank holiday, and everyone else is in bed. No stories to write and no parties to go to, all could be lost – and then the phone goes... it's a taxi driver and he's got a funny tale to tell. The other day he gave a lift to Dragons' Den multimillionaire Duncan Bannatyne – a three-hour long trip – but not a tip in sight. But what makes the story even more amusing is that today in the Daily Mail is an interview with Bannatyne in which he's boasting about his magnanimity.
“I didn't get the car,“ is his second defence, when I call him again, but when I give him the time, date and journey details he starts to back down. “But it wasn't a taxi“, he slyly counters, “it was a chauffeur-driven car. No one tips them. Would you tip them?“ I don't mention that I don't get driven in chauffeur-driven cars. Instead I listen to him rant rudely in my ear for what seems like an hour. "When I'm in a taxi, I tip every time. I've never said if I would or wouldn't tip a chauffeur-driven car. They're not the same thing – they're different. “There was a chauffeur-driven car provided for me by the BBC, and there's a difference between that and a black cab.“ I don't think I agree. And neither does Dave. But what do I know? It's a story, and really to me, that's all that matters. I sit down to write it and suddenly the phone goes again – this time it's Bannatyne's publicist calling to say: “The phone line was terrible, Duncan couldn't really hear you,“ and he's got handy a funny line that he'd rather I used instead: “I was working for Children In Need – not Chauffeurs in Need.“ But by now I'm bored of slippery Bannatyne and somehow I don't think I'll be doing him any favours.
“I start making calls, I call in all my wellconnected contacts, my badly-connected contacts, PRs, my friends, my family, that taxi driver “ “I always tip in cash and give £10 or £20 as a thank you,“ he declares. “He didn't give me so much as a penny,“ says the driver, called David, who collected Bannatyne from the BBC studios in West London and drove him 200 miles to Manchester airport, where he was catching a flight to Barbados. “It's normal when you drive that far for the passenger to give you £20 or so," grumbles David. “He didn't even buy me a drink when we stopped at the service station.“ So I call up Bannatyne to see what he says: “I didn't do the interview. I don't know what you're on about,“ he immediately claims. Hmmm. I find the interviewer in question, who, bemused, tells me it took place yesterday.

Dani’s diary Dani and her iPod invite you to take a musical trip around her world
Writing this column is hard at the best of times. Especially now, after so many years. So I thought, as a little rest for me and a little treat for you I would let my favourite music do the talking. I go everywhere with my iPod. I have theme music. Some songs I play to perk me up, some to settle me down. For every important part of my life there is a song. So below is a week in my life, depicted by my favourite words said by others and timed, rather nicely, to music. Not all of it will make sense (but let’s face it, when does it ever!) I hadn’t realised what a task I had set myself when I decided to do this. More to the point, this is what happens in my head every morning on my way to work. “I like big butts and I cannot lie.” “So unlock the jukebox and do us all a favour.” “You know I get a funny feeling like an epidemic running through my head”. “There’s a big dark town it’s a place I’ve found”. “Psycho killer Qu’est que c’est?” “We’re on a road to nowhere come on inside.” “All the little pieces come apart, all the little pieces of your heart.” “To stop the words that are falling out like endless rain into a paper cup, ah bang a gong, or get it on.” “Can you keep a secret because the best little secrets are kept and you’re my best little secret yet.” “Just make sure you close the shades and turn the lock.” “I can
“Some songs I play to perk me up, some to settle me down, for every important part of my life there is a song” only watch you so long.” “I might be wrong but I feel I must improve.” “How long does it take to land this plane? This flight is making me afraid.” “I had a budgie but it died (had to put flights in there)”. “Over and over and over and over and over like a monkey with a miniature symbol”. “We walk through the streets like lottery winners on acid.” “It’s a god awful small affair to the girl with the mousey hair.” “Oh my gosh, he’s making eyes at me and I don’t mind at all.” “Hey girls, hey boys, superstar DJs, here we go!” “Oh my god what have I done? All I wanted was a little fun” “I spent my cash on looking flash and grabbing your attention!” “So you would say I’m gonna dance with my princess by the light of the magical moon.” “I need sleep I need love I need fun.” It’s a lot harder than I thought, or more to the point a bit more distracting than I thought it could be. But, with any luck, you will now have a slightly better view into the twisted world of Dani and can now confirm that the reason I am nuts is because I have the spiel above pumping into my head everyday. I am hopeless. Hopelessly in love, romantic, sick and twisted, hooked, unhinged and dancing to my very own disco in my own private venue behind my eyes. And to be perfectly frank I couldn’t care less!

City gossip Heather ‘tread-Mills’ When the sun deigned Heather to come out from behind the clouds last weekend, I headed to Brighton beach to soak up a few rays. Passing the Rip Tide gym under the arches, who should I see exercising right in the window, going hell for leather on the machines? None other than everyone’s favourite divorcée, Heather Mills. I half expected to be mown down by paparazzi – but it seems interest is now waning in the ex-Lady McCartney… Talking of sunny summer days, if you’re looking for a unique family festival this year – then the one to book is artist Gavin Turk’s House of Fairytales, a four day festival of theatre arts and imagination taking place in Caravan of the beautiful surroundings Fairytales of Sudeley Castle, the 15th century home of Henry Dent-Brocklehurst and Lili Maltese. Gavin’s partner, artist and illustrator Deborah Curtis, is an exBrightonian and the touring version of the House of Fairytales, called the Caravan of Fairytales was a big hit in the city during Brighton Festival. www.houseoffairytales.org

A third of the population will one day have cancer. If you become one of them, who will help? Rachel Pegg reports
Cancer carers Being diagnosed with cancer is something we all dread. Sadly it is happening to more and more of us. The good news is that there is more research going on and more specialist care available than ever before – but not all of that is part of the health service. Macmillan Cancer Support provides nurses, doctors, information, counsellors and financial help, all funded by donations. Their care can be invaluable for somebody going through the difficult process of a cancer diagnosis, treatment or illness. When Michael Horabin was diagnosed with tonsil and neck cancer, he didn’t know where to turn. Mr Horabin, 70, had led a healthy life and was enjoying his retirement with his wife Susan in their beautiful home and garden in Hangleton. The couple have two sons and were looking forward to seeing their grandson, now aged 17, and their granddaughter, four, grow up. Then, a year ago, Mr Horabin got sick. He said: “It first started with a lump in my throat. I went to the doctor and he didn’t like the look of it. He sent me to see a consultant in Worthing. I had a sneaking suspicion it was cancer.” Doctors used cameras to investigate Mr Horabin’s condition. After diagnosing cancer, they booked him in for a tonsillectomy and a radical neck dissection, taking out 27 lymph nodes and putting him back together with 32 stitches. He spent five days at Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath and then had to wait three weeks for the swelling to go down. He started a six-week course of radiotherapy five days a week in October at the Sussex Cancer Centre and had one day a week chemotherapy. That finished at the end of November. After a long and difficult journey, in February this year he was given the all clear. Mr Horabin is one of the lucky ones. Not only has he made a very good recovery, he was helped along the way by the specialist teams at Sussex Cancer Centre, including Macmillan consultant dietician in oncology Mhairi Donald. He now goes to hospital every six weeks for a check up. His saliva glands were burnt by the radiotherapy and he does mouth exercises with tongue sticks to try to improve them. He is also having speech and language therapy. He said: “At the moment it is in remission. I have got my taste buds back and my appetite back. I have put on weight. Now I don’t seem to lose it, but I don’t seem to put it on. I don’t feel ill for it. There are days when I get cheesed off. It is just something you have got to learn to live with.” In April Mr Horabin started playing sport again and he enjoys a game of badminton. “I am just glad it is all over. You have just got to keep going. I had a very positive attitude. I hate losing. They said I was very fit for my age,” he said. “I have never smoked in my life. I wasn’t a drinker. If I had a pint a week, I was lucky. It is just one of those things. It is just something that happened. I always tried to keep myself fit.”

In his working life, Mr Horabin was a pattern maker for Daewoo engineers. Now he can get back to enjoying his retirement, thanks in part to Macmillan. He said: “They are very supportive if you need them, they were very, very helpful.” The Sussex Cancer Centre is part of the Sussex Cancer Network with coverage as far as Hastings, Eastbourne and Worthing. Since she started last July, Miss Donald has had more than 400 patient appointments. She also trains other staff and on how they might give diet advice to cancer patients and helps with strategic planning. She said: “I’m there to support patients to have their treatment depending what’s happening to them. If they’re having radiotherapy, it might have affected the way they swallow. Chemotherapy is pretty renowned for making patients feel sick and rotten and nauseous.” The Sussex Cancer Centre has more than 20 specialist Macmillan nurses, doctors, therapists and counsellors. Miss Donald said: “There is a whole team of people to support them through their journey. “People have all sorts of difficulties, some might be financial or physical or psychological. Sometimes whatever that issue is, it can be extremely easily resolved, but we can’t resolve it unless we know about it.” Macmillan recently organised the sponsored Windmill Walk in Rottingdean with more than 250 children and adults. Their next summer event is the Peacehaven Abseil on Saturday 9 August.

Bus drivers in Brighton and Hove could be preparing to strike. Their union Unite has rejected a six per cent average pay rise with a £300 lump sum, which was lower than the 7.3 per cent it demanded. Unite said the offer would have given longer serving employees an increase of 2.4 per cent with a £300 lump sum. Roger French, managing director of Brighton and Hove Bus and Coach Company, said making a higher offer would mean costs would have to be passed on to customers. Brighton and Hove City Council will decide this week whether to ban dogs from beaches during the summer months. The controversial proposal will come up before the cabinet meeting at Hove Town Hall on Thursday 12 June at 4pm. Officers have recommended that the council abandon the plans, which sparked protest marches through the city and a petition with more than 2,500 signatures. People of many faiths from Brighton and Hove want to raise £50,000 for people affected by the cyclone in Burma. The Burma Rescue campaign is linked to the group Interfaith for Religious Freedom who organised a series of peace walks for Burma and Tibet. It is estimated that 134,000 people died as a result of Cyclone Nargis, equivalent to nearly the whole population of Brighton, and 1.5 million have been made homeless – equivalent to the whole of Sussex. See www.burmarescue.110mb.com More than 100 businesses and tourist attractions have signed up to take part in Big Sussex Week. Starting on Monday, residents of Sussex can take advantage of special offers for admission, food and places to stay.

Anti-arms protest Anti-arms protesters have hit back at claims they caused a “riot” in Brighton last week. Brighton campaigning group Smash EDO organised a legal gathering on The Level and a march up Lewes Road last Wednesday to demonstrate outside the premises of ITT EDO-MBM in Home Farm Road, Moulsecoomb. But when the crowd – estimated by the police at 350 but by Smash EDO as up to 800 – reached the factory, a conflict erupted. Police later accused protesters of trespassing into the site and smashing windows. But Smash EDO said it was
officers who were heavy handed and hit peaceful campaigners with batons. Protester Andrew Beckett, spokesman for Smash EDO, described the march as a “carnival” and said it was attended by a cross-section of the community, from mums with children to students, working people and people over 80. He said people came from as far as Leeds, Bath, Bristol, Newcastle, Manchester and Bradford to take part. “It was a really high turnout for a Wednesday afternoon in Brighton. We think it was a really strong sign that the movement in Brighton against the arms factory is going to grow and we are going

to continue until we shut it down.” Mr Beckett said the factory’s second site in Fishersgate is to close by November which he believes is a direct result of the campaign. Last week’s gathering began on The Level. When it got to Home Farm Road, he said police tried to contain the group in an enclosure that was too small and too far away from the premises they were trying to demonstrate against. He said: “Sussex Police used batons, pepper spray and police dogs in an attempt to stop protesters reaching the factory. Scores were injured, many hospitalised.” Ten people were arrested. Sussex Police said a number of the demonstraters forced their way into factory grounds and damaged windows and cars. City Commander Chief Superintendent Paul Pearce said: “As with previous causes that have resulted in demonstrations in the city, an apparently lawful protest has been hijacked by people who are intent on committing violent criminal offences. Any doubts that the campaign against ITT EDO has attracted such people have been dispelled. However passionate people are about an issue does not justify the level of violence that was seen. “My message to the people of Brighton and Hove is that the officers involved in policing violent demonstrations such as this are the same officers I want to put on the streets to provide the local policing service that you want and expect from us.”
Police issue photofit Sussex Police issued an e-fit of a man who pulled a woman into a doorway and raped her. The woman, in her late teens, was attacked as she walked along Kings Road on Thursday 29 May at 11.40pm. She was between Buddies restaurant and the Old Ship Hotel and heading towards the Palace Pier when the attack happened. The man was of Asian appearance, under 30 with very short black hair. He was wearing a white hooded top and a diamante earring.

jumped in an insisted ‘I want something done’. The steps were constructed and we’ve asked a gardener to maintain the memorial – for as long as we are here. Peter is like that – he really has a good heart.” Brighton roofer Russell Bishop, 41, was tried and acquitted over the murders in 1987. He is currently serving life for the kidnap, sexual assault and attempted murder of a seven-year-old girl from Whitehawk, Brighton in 1990. Now in his 18th year of imprisonment, Bishop is one of the longest-serving prisoners in Britain not to be serving a sentence for murder, despite the trial judge recommending a minimum term of 14 years which could have seen him out of prison in 2004. Bishop has had numerous parole bids refused.
Each October, on the anniversary of the ‘Babes in the Woods’ murders, Nicola and Karen’s families gather at the memorial gardens in remembrance. Mr Heffron said Kingspan was not alone in showing goodwill. He said: “When a memorial bench in the garden was vandalised, travellers living nearby came along and repaired it. “They didn’t want to get the blame for the damage but, more importantly, some of them remembered the murders and knew what the garden was all about. They condemned the vandalism as much as anyone. “Frankly, our families have been shocked but the kindnesses we have received. We can’t thank these people enough.”
Goodwill given The memory of two murdered schoolgirls is being kept alive with the help of the goodwill of the community where they were raised. One of those determined to never to forget is Peter McDonnell who was a young boy when he joined the search for nineyear-olds Karen Haddaway and Nicola Fellows when they were reported missing in 1986. He is now managing director of Kingspan Skip Hire in Moulsecoomb, Brighton, which is quietly committed to improving and maintaining a memorial garden for the girls “for as long as we are here.” He shies from interviews but Latest 7 spoke to Kingspan’s general manager Allan Brown who said: “He’s not doing this for publicity – in fact, when he ordered work to be done there, he said: ‘Keep it quiet’. “This is a personal thing for Peter. He was brought up on the estate and he knew one of the families. It always brings back a lot of memories for him.”
Nigel Heffron, Nicola’s uncle and life-long campaigner for justice for the girls, described Kingspan’s contribution as fantastic. He said: “Their generosity has been mind-blowing.” Mr Heffron told how, as the girls’ families had grown older, they had found it more difficult to climb the steep bank leading to the memorial in Wild Park, off Lewes Road, Brighton, where the girls’ bodies were found. He said: “Kingspan came straight in and built steps with a handrail. They have also asked a landscape gardener to maintain the memorial for years to come. None of us family members are getting any younger and this has helped us so much. “We can’t thank them enough. Their efforts are helping keep the memories of the girls alive and, in doing so, they are raising awareness that their killer still has not been brought to justice all these years later.” Mr Brown said: “When Peter heard about the problem of access he

Sun shines Recent washout weather and a gloomy financial climate have failed to stop tourists pouring into Brighton and Hove. Brighton’s Palace Pier, the South East’s top tourist attraction with close to 4million visitors annually, reported they have been just as busy as ever. A spokesperson told Latest 7: “It’s been business as usual as far as the pier is concerned. We’ve been getting just as many visitors as usual and people are enjoying themselves and having fun, just as they normally do. The city will welcome about 150,000 visitors on a normal bank holiday weekend and with each spending an average £50, more than £7million enters the local coffers.
Tourism is big business in the city and although some outlets are watching the horizon for the grey clouds of recession most say the sun is still shining. Julie Lockwood, general manager of the Grand Hotel on Brighton seafront, said: “We are getting a lot of conference bookings and we are enjoying lots of leisure customers. Things have been buzzing. “The weather hasn’t really affected our business, but then people will come to Brighton and Hove come rain or shine. It’s that kind of city.” And as for financial problems affecting people: “We haven’t felt anything negative – and long may that continue.” latest 7 15

Carers week Professionals were invited to meet carers in the run-up to National Carers Week. The Brighton-based Carers Centre arranged for 26 people from business, public and voluntary sector backgrounds to spend an hour chatting with a carer. The aim was to educate people about how to support carers in the workplace, who might need flexible working, and spread the message that there are many different kinds of care-givers who save the NHS millions of pounds a year. One carer who took part was Julie Fowlie, from Preston Park, who looks out for her adult son. At age 19 her son was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. Now 26, he lives independently but is supported by Julie, who visits once a week. She said this might not meet traditional ideas about what makes a carer but people are supported in many different ways. “There are a variety of caring situations. You shouldn’t think of one model only.” Julie, who volunteers with Mind and the Carers Centre, said caring

Residents have joined Brighton and Hove City Council leader, Councillor Mary Mears, the city’s police chief, Chief Superintendent Paul Pearce, and representatives of other local services to sign up to a new Neighbourhood Charter. The Eastern Road area of Brighton is among 11 districts across the country chosen as pilot schemes for the government’s Neighbourhood Charters. The Feeling Safer, Feeling Healthier Neighbourhood Charter is a document that has been drawn up by the community and services working together, setting out priorities and the agreement of all involved to play their part. For example, the council has made a range of commitments, including: • The removal of offensive graffiti (reported during working hours) within an hour • To clean the green areas in Eastern Road and Edward Street once a week • To respond quickly to reports of anti-social behaviour
“The charter will build on achievements that have already been made in the area” on top of another.

The selection of Eastern Road as a pilot follows the success of partnership work in the area by residents, community groups, the council, police and other local service providers. The partnership has been particularly praised for engaging older people in helping to guide, shape and develop its work. Councillor Mary Mears, said: “Eastern Road is a strong community where everyone is committed to working together. The charter will build on achievements that have already been made in the area and help to bring about further improvements, responding to the issues that local people have told us about.”

Local resident Margaret Chapman, 67, who is a member of the Eastern Road Partnership’s Health Action Group, said: “I think the charter is a good idea as it will bring together officials who make decisions on issues of particular concern to older people. Fighting crime and improving our health are important issues for us and we want to be part of this debate.” A variety of projects are already making a difference, for example: • Community Clean Ups with residents, local councillors, police and council staff, joining forces to plant bulbs and wild flowers around the area, blitz graffiti, deep-clean streets, and carry out a general clear up • Provision of an older persons’ Active for Life worker who has set up physical activity projects and courses including t’ai chi, yoga and boccia (a type of bowls).

Sandra Omo – model citizen Hello Sandra, I'd like to commend you for all your lovely articles in Latest magazine. I read it a lot and I must confess that many of my friends also share in it. I guess you would like to share your experiences regarding the state of beauty pageants in the developing world, as many people feel that nothing good comes from Africa, and since you recently visited Nigeria, which according to statistics is the most populous African nation. I would also like to find out from you what it takes to keep people like you strong and going considering how difficult it was to get to this level. May God richly bless you! Your happiness is what matters in whatever you do. I hope you remember that. Regards, Dr Enobakhare Iyagbaye, Canada
Carnival Time! The Tarner Carnival Project is seeking new members from all walks of life to make costumes and learn dance for this year’s Brighton Carnival. Local arts group Firefly Arts has received grants from the city council and the National Lottery to start an exciting community carnival group called the ‘Tarner Carnival Project’, based in the Tarner area of central Brighton. It’s free and as well as welcoming locals it is open for people from any part of Brighton. Costume and dance sessions will be held at Brighton Youth Centre, Edward Street, on Tuesday nights and Saturdays from 10 June. Group members will have opportunities to work with professional carnival artists to create their own vibrant, original and high quality carnival costumes for the parade on 13 July. There will also be street dance and carnival dance sessions led by teachers from the Brighton Dance Network so the group will know how to strut their stuff on the day. We are looking for new people of all ages, experience and backgrounds, you don’t need to have any experience of costume making or dance. The costume theme of the group this year is ‘Amazonia’, which through the tropical and colourful carnival costume and float designs, aims to raise awareness about the fragile state of the Amazon rainforest ecosystem and global warming. Brighton Carnival Parade had its first successful year last year. Carnival is a wonderful way for people to express and celebrate themselves and their communities out on the streets – It’s also a great way to meet people, learn new creative skills and have a load of fun in the process. To get involved, call me on 07855 348287, email tarnerarts@googlemail.com or check out myspace.com/tarnercarnivalproject.com Costume making sessions will be held at the Brighton Youth Centre on Tuesdays from 7-10pm and Saturdays from 12.30-4pm. Street Dance sessions will be on Tuesdays, 7.30-8.30pm. Jessie Martelhof, community artist
Euro having a laugh Follow the European 2008 Championships with our handy cutout and throw away guide England’s failure – along with all of the home nations – to make it to this year’s European football championships in Switizerland and Austria gives us instead the opportunity to feel a little bit closer to our European brothers and sisters. So we get the chance to rush home early from work to cheer one of the others on, if anyone can be bothered. To help you choose which European country to ‘adopt’ for the next week and a half, here’s our group-by-group, team-by-team competition breakdown of potential winners and probable losers.
Group A Well, Ludovic Magnin might chuck in some tasty balls from his left-back role. But let’s face it, Switzerland are literally not going to take long to get home, which is a shame as one of the hosts. Our fingers are crossed that they still manage to ruffle some feathers in front of their home fans at least. Chelsea keeper Peter Cech might keep the Czech Republic in with a shout of progress but it has to be the hotly tipped Portugal with Ronaldo in tow as favourites to win the group, and maybe the whole damn thing. Unfancied Turkey are one of our dark horses if you fancy a longshot.
Group B Austria could find the aroma of their home soil along with the twelfth man singing from the stands forcing them through. Croatia finished top of the qualifying group they shared with England but their chances of getting far are dicey having been described as “punching above their weight since 1996”. Germany should progress efficiently and could effortlessly ease themselves into yet another final. Poland could get through and can beat anyone on their day. They pinched four points off Portugal in qualification.
Group C This year’s obligatory ‘Group Of Death’. Well, no one’s going to die we hope but there will be plenty of fans sweating in their seats more than usual. World Champions Italy will face a World Cup final rematch with France minus the legendary headbutting Zidane, and Romania pipped Holland to the top of the qualifying group they shared. In this group only one thing is for certain – battle will finish with the two qualifiers already feeling like they’ve won the whole tournament just as it’s hotting up.
Group D This is the group made up of those who could come really close, including Sweden if Zlatan Ibrahimovic has got his shooting boots on. Spain have already got their new golden boy Fernando Torres banging them in as they finished top of the qualifying group they shared with the Swedes. Holders Greece are still in top form having finished seven points clear of Turkey in their qualifiers and could yet again go all the way. And Russia knocked England out. Their manager, Guus Hiddink, took South Korea to the semifinals of the 2002 World Cup and this time he has brought the youngest team to the tourament. Who says you can’t win anything with kids? But what do we know? Anything could happen. Surprise 2004 winners Greece

Model city Sandra Omo finds out that a badly organised fashion show is best avoided I never imagined that a day would come where I would loath doing a fashion show. In fact, what I felt three days ago, even now, was beyond loathing; I virtually have no word to describe it. At one point, it was disappointment, then came anger, followed by shame – yes shame for being part of such a show, then at last came irritation; I felt irritated the whole night. Prior to now, I have heard models talk about disappointing jobs, and I have had some of those myself but when it comes to fashion shows, I was confident that no matter how bad it might have been, nothing matters once I step on the runway. However, the last show I did proved that this is so not true. I actually came close to walking out on the organisers when it got to my turn to get on the catwalk. For all I cared, I was better off not being a part of this show.

I recall arriving at the venue and I was impressed: two floored, a long fashion bar with a fashion theme, and an actual runway in front of the bar: perfect for a fashion show. However, the minute I arrived backstage I could smell a rat. I asked my choreographer friend what was wrong because I learnt that a couple of the designers had not showed up and the majority of the models had done a no-show. He explained that the organisers would not heed to his advice and as a result, this is what they had got. Yes, when there is a rift between an experienced choreographer and an inexperienced organiser, the fashion show suffers, and when a fashion show suffers it is the models that bear the shame, and that is exactly what happened. I did not attend the rehearsal – I had no need to. Maybe I too would have done a no-show if I had done, as the others tell me the rehearsal was a flop, but there I was, looking forward to making my debut, since my return, on the runway, and I was not at all prepared for the disappointment that followed when the show eventually began. The first designer was barely ready and after the first four models walked down the runway, there was a pause as the other models were not ready. As if once was not enough, the whole show was a ‘run and pause’ to the extent that the models began to walk the runway twice in the same clothes just to allow designers enough time to dress the other models up, and it still didn’t work. After the second designer, the audience was so fed up that the majority actually turned their back on the catwalk and just chatted on. The MC tried, unsuccessfully, to revive their interest by introducing an act to perform in the middle of the show. This meant another pause – huge mistake! By the time the fifth designer came up, half the audience were gone and I was still to begin the show for the last designer. A handful of the disappointed audience stared at me as I walked down the catwalk and all I could feel was hatred for the moment and regret for being there – as did the audience. Maybe if it was the hospitality that was bad (as is usually the case), then it would not have mattered to me because I would have the show itself to look forward to. But when it is the show itself that is the failure, what else is there to do? Boy, for the first time, I regret doing a fashion show. I have another fashion show tomorrow and although I am looking forward to it, I am hoping I never again experience what I did at this one.

Feet first Melina Greenfield takes a look at reflexology
latest
If you suffer from a persistent pain or an aching ailment that just won't let up, then reflexology could be just the therapy for you. Reflexology is known as either a ‘complementary’ or ‘alternative’ therapy that focuses on manipulating parts of the feet, and occasionally hands – which are then mirrored in the glands, organs and other parts of the body. With its roots in Egypt, India and China, it became known to Westerners in 1913 when Dr William Fitzgerald introduced reflexology as ‘zone therapy’. In the 1930s Eunice Ingham, founder of the International Institute of Reflexology, developed the therapy further into the reflexology we are familiar with today. Reflexology is a gentle and natural way of restoring the body’s inner balance and promotes healing in many different areas to people of all ages. The most common problems to be treated by reflexology include: back pain, migraines, infertility, arthritis, sleep disorders, hormonal imbalances, sports injuries, digestive disorders and various stress related conditions. During the first trip to your reflexologist you will be asked about the state of your health and any problems you might have had in the past. After this initial assessment the reflexologist will start stimulating parts of each foot, and where they feel subtle changes they will apply a small amount of pressure which will correspond with another part of the body – this promotes the healing process. Most sessions last one hour, but you may need a course of reflexology, depending on your body’s needs. The experience is unique for each person but most people feel the benefits quickly and will come away with a sense of calm and wellbeing. If you’re lucky and don’t have any health problems you can still benefit greatly from reflexology as a wonderful relaxation therapy, which is good for the mind, body and soul. With medical evidence showing that 75 per cent of our health problems could be due to nervous stress and tension, reflexology may be a very enjoyable way of warding-off potential health problems. If you would like to find a reflexologist for yourself, you can visit the Association of Reflexologists website (www.aor.org.uk), where they have a section dedicated to finding a qualified and experienced practitioner. If you are interested in becoming more involved or thinking about training to be a reflexologist, visit the International Institute of Reflexology website: www.reflexology-uk.co.uk

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, My primary school teacher, who was American, would always advise us children to emulate a certain former president of the USA, who was a hero to many people throughout the world.This honest fellow was born in a log cabin, yet, despite these humble origins, became a successful lawyer and rose to the highest station in the land. He was famed for his eloquence, and was responsible, so we were told, for the abolition of slavery, and for uniting the country after the Civil War. I seem to remember from a photograph that he had a beard and a stovepipe hat, and I can’t be sure about this, but I think he was assassinated by a man called John Wilkes Booth.Yet the name of this president eludes me, and Google and Wikipedia are no help whatsoever. Can you set me straight before I go stark raving mad? Chris Parker, Ovingdean. Dear Chris, Shame on you!

ARIES (MAR 21–APR 20)
CANCER (JUNE 22–JULY 22)
LIBRA (SEP 23–OCT 22)
CAPRICORN (DEC 21–JAN 19)
Stop coasting Aries, it’s time to set your feet firmly on the ground. Not that it will be easy for air-headed Aries, but we all must try just that little bit harder if we are to achieve anything.
Set yourself little tasks and follow through with little rewards. This may be the way forward for easily sidetracked Cancers this week. Making lists and ticking off tasks as they are will help.
Planetary influences demand that you find your own space this week. Any kind of distraction will impair your train of thought – they are few and far between so don’t take the risk.
Time to widen the circle of your friends. Throw a party and invite someone you would normally ignore. Who knows, you may hit it off and if not, what a hoot to see them cringe.
TAURUS (APR 21–MAY 21)
LEO (JULY 23–AUG 22)
SCORPIO (OCT 23–NOV 21)
AQUARIUS (JAN 20–FEB 19)
Taureans should do exactly the opposite and chill, chill, chill. Now is your time for rest and recreation, but please be kind and don’t rub this in Aries’ face now will you.
You’re like a dog with a rabbit today, Leo. Let it go, it simply isn’t worth it. Remember to try to see all sides of the argument as you can't always be right – that’s the Aquarian’s job.
Stand back and take your time this week. Ponder why you get so involved and think things through. Surely letting other people take decisions and carry the responsibility is the easier route?
Aquarians of all ages need to start to grow up, you are not Peter Pan or Tinkerbell. Throw out any ideas of ‘getting down with the kids’ and get on with some work for a change.
GEMINI (MAY 22–JUNE 21)
VIRGO (AUG 23–SEP 22)
SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22–DEC 20)
PISCES (FEB 20–MAR 20)
The position of the moon at present will inevitably bring out your loony side. By all means go with this but do it behind closed doors. No one wants to see Geminis going loop-de-loop.
Vanity, thy name is Virgo. Do you really need that new outfit? Can you really get away with wearing white at your age/size? (delete as appropriate). Surely navy is more becoming.
Time to curb your fun-loving nature this week and give the rest of us a break. Have you any idea just how tiring your antics can be. Life is simply not one long party. Pipe down.
Think before opening your mouth today, not everything that you utter is of value. Reserve oral moments for indulging in a bit of pollack down at Bardsley's Fish and Chips.

PLUM
Plum job Planning a dinner, a party, a wedding or a feast? Then call Plum Catering and talk to Kim Ryan Plum Catering is the brainchild of food lover and accomplished cook Kim Ryan. Kim started cooking 25 years ago with basic chef training but was disheartened by the discrimination she found back then against women in professional kitchens. That was in the late 70s and 80s. She followed that with a Cordon Bleu course where she honed her classic French cooking skills, skills that she sees as the basis of everything she now does. Since then she has worked in many kitchens, written about food and raised a family, her toughest critics. Now Kim runs Plum Catering, a food business that is grounded in the three key factors that most discerning chefs apply today: quality produce, local produce and seasonal produce. It’s a passion with Kim and one that will find her scouring the local countryside in search of just-picked asparagus or freshlylanded seafood and fish. In her search for perfect produce she has also built up many strong relationships with local food suppliers. Her work can see her producing smart lunches, exotic dinner parties, luxurious picnics, canapés, buffets, wedding breakfasts, feasts, banquets and even themed parties. Unafraid of a challenge Kim seems happy to take on almost any request and the list of satisfied clients is clear proof that she can pull things off. Size is certainly not an issue, Kim equally enjoys producing intimate dinners and large scale functions for hundreds, and her company not only produces the food but will also undertake everything from the hiring of staff, running bars, sourcing and organising marquees to creating bespoke environments and specialised settings for themed events. We met Kim in her kitchen, where she was putting the finishing touches to a perfect pavlova, cooling asparagus picked that day and assembling a delicate stew of fresh fish and seafood for a special lunch. At other times the place becomes a hive of industry as she bakes her massive annual order of Christmas
cakes or a giant batch of perfect quiches, tarts, pies or cakes. The place smells delicious and at every turn there is more evidence of her culinary endeavours. The passion for seasonal food and local produce is no mere whim either. It is a subject about which Kim is adamant. Not that it makes her food ‘worthy’, on the contrary, the food is vibrant and vital. Fresh seasonal food that has not travelled far is bound to be at its very best and Kim likes to get it from the land or the sea and on to your plate as quickly as possible The Plum website has many letters from more than satisfied customers who clearly state that Plum Catering have ‘made their day’. Kim now offers Plum cookery courses where you can improve your cooking skills, while basking in the luxury of Mas De L'Aveugle and enjoying all the South of France has to offer. Cooks always consider the late summer to early autumn the best time of year for fresh food and where better to enjoy that than the South of France? The tabletops at the markets are laden with produce as the harvest of soft fruits, herbs and salads makes way for the early crop of apples, potatoes and young greens. The ‘Plum in Provence‘ autumn course is designed to exploit this bountiful larder of produce bringing new fresh flavours each day to demonstrate the exceptional range of Provençal food. Practising and learning cooking skills are the backbone of this course. At Mas De L’Aveugle they mix a warm and welcoming atmosphere with a lively, interactive kitchen. Each day introduces a valuable skill, such as boning poultry or pastry making. However the most important thing to Kim and the team at Mas De L’Aveugle is that guests enjoy every minute of their stay.

ANDREW KAY’S FOOD&DRINK
Let it rain Andrew Kay takes his nephews to lunch at The Rainforest Cafe in London’s West End I grew up with a brother who was a very fussy eater, while I would eat everything – even pineapple – in those long gone days. Quite often we would be left at the table whilst he prodded his unwanted meal, and I would dutifully help him out when no one was looking. Is it any wonder I am fat? Now he has children of his own and has to deal with the fact that they too are fussy eaters; what goes around… A few weeks ago I treated my nephews to a weekend in London. I sorted an itinerary of fun and then filled in the food gaps. I was worried about that more than anything, Gabriel eats such a small list of things that eating out tends to limit his choice. David, now 13 has an increasingly interested palate, probably spurred on by his peers who will eat anything.
‘‘It was huge, a jungle on a plate and the fat prawns with sweet chilli were delicious’’ I eventually settled on The Rain Forest Cafe, a fun venue in the heart of the West End, where I reckoned that if the food was an issue then the atmosphere would more than make up for it. Well as far as atmosphere goes it could not be better, let’s face facts, this place is most definitely made for kids – of all ages. I was equally as excited as the boys by the intermittent thunder storms that punctuated our meals and the gigantic life like elephant with flappy ears and wiggly trunk; so was my brother and his wife, who had joined us for this part of the trip.

The cafe is an underground warren of cave like rooms with a flowing stream, waterfalls, vines, jungle noises and brilliant waiters in jungle gear. The menu is extensive with huge amounts of choice for kids and adults too. There’s also special notes for people who have allergies. We decided to start with a Leaping Lizard Mezze, a selection of hummus, Tzatziki, spiced roasted red peppers and marinated Greek olives with grilled rosemary and garlic bread. It said it was for two sharing but three adults struggled to finish it. I have to say that the olives were really delicious and the humus too. For some sticky fun we added chicken wings and drumsticks in a vibrant barbecue sauce with a great blue cheese dip and celery sticks. My brother and his eldest both went down the burger route and were not disappointed. I looked on with envy when they arrived. I like the occasional burger and seeing their bulging baps and piles of fries I felt the tinge of the green-eyed monster, which was highly appropriate as the surrounding foliage was dotted with gleaming animal eyes. Julie chose a huge tuna steak served with a niçoise-style salad. It was also huge and looked delicious. Given that she polished it off too I guess that it was delicious. I was in the mood for salad too and chose a Mexican Prawn Salad of cooked tiger prawns, kidney beans, cherry tomatoes, avocado, red onions and rocket tossed with a jalapeno, lime juice, cumin and sweet red chilli dressing. It was huge, a jungle on a plate and the fat prawns with sweet chilli were delicious. My longing for chips was abated and I was very happy. Gabriel, who is the most difficult, was completely content with his chicken goujons with fries; on the understanding that there would be no sauce of any kind, either on, or near, his plate. Grinning the waiter agreed, obviously completely used to dealing with the vagaries of kids and their foodie fads. We were all far too full to tackle desserts, except Julie who managed to find a space for a rich and wobbly panacotta, no doubt part of her training regime for belly dancing. The boys drank fizzy drinks and so did we, although ours were beers. Around us there were parties of kids of all ages celebrating birthdays. I lost count of the number of times we had to sing ‘Happy Birthday‘ but it seemed to happen more often than the tropical storms. There is no doubt that this is a slick and effective restaurant were kids are king. The attention to dietary detail is impressive but above that, they want you to have a good time. Full marks too to the waiting staff, who are fast and accurate, remembering every detail of our complicated order and making sure that we had everything that we could require. I would happily return, with kids, and do it all again, to be honest I think I was as impressed as the boys with the lush jungle setting, I’m just a big kid at heart – very big.

Under review Here’s our round up of recent local shows, plus there’s oodles of reviews online at www.latest7.co.uk Mark Knopfler Fronting one of the biggest stadium bands ever, Dire Straits, it’s difficult to shake off the image of a head-banded knuckle head, but once you have, you come to the table with fresh appreciation for a fine musician and band (John McCusker on mandolins, pipes). Knopfler has carved out a decent solo career and songs like ‘Back to Tupelo’, and ‘On Every Street’ are as intricately-bluesy as ‘Money For Nothing’ is catchytrite. Still it was old favourites which brought the Brighton Centre to its feet, and with ‘Sultans of Swing’ and ‘Brothers in Arms’ you can’t argue – songs which easily stand the test of time. Brighton Centre, 24 May ✌✌✌✌✌ Jan Goodey
Adem Following the release of his third solo album Takes Adem returns with a new set up. Performing to a relaxed audience seated comfortably on the floor, the seven piece band set out to seduce us with all manner of strings, shakes and harmonies, the trademark accordion and a ukulele. Refreshingly, as the name suggests, Adem gives a different perspective on each of the covers he has chosen, taking them apart and making them very much his own. Definitely one to catch again. Komedia, 24 May ✌✌✌✌
Gina Yashere – Skinny Bitch Gina Yashere is hot-to-trot and three dress sizes skinnier in her UK tour. You find out how she did it in colonic detail! Looking and sounding fantastic, her seamless wit and quick-smart observations never cease to impress. Definitely the freshest comedy I have seen in the festival – she’s as easy to watch as having a laugh and a joke with an old friend. LA certainly hasn’t gone to her head; she still loves her UK audience. Come home Gina all is forgiven! America doesn’t know how lucky they are. Udderbelly, 24 May ✌✌✌✌✌ Lucy Kamper
Stephen Grant This, Stephen Grant’s latest oneman show, deals with what from the outset seems like the dubious accolade of coming second. Stephen Grant
Merry Wives of Windsor at The Hawth, Crawley
The show starts with the former computer-programmer playing on his notoriety as one of the best MCs in the business, by having a computer do his side-splitting, pickon-an-audience-member routine which, let’s be honest, is what many of us go to the Krater Club for. The subsequent dialogue played out on screens takes a while to get going and if there’s one criticism it would be that; the technological side is not always as smooth and effective as it could be. But it’s the incisive, intelligent gags and the down right honesty of the bloke (dealing with a break-up) that wins you over and yes Stephen, second definitely is best. Komedia, 14 May ✌✌✌✌ Jan Goodey
Follow Me The year is 1955, and Ruth Ellis is about to be the last woman ever hanged in Britain, for shooting her unfaithful lover five times. Albert Pierrepoint is Her Majesty’s Chief Executioner, having already overseen more than 400 hangings, and a man who likes to get things done in an orderly and fair fashion. Follow Me is the story of the last hours of Ellis’ life, intermingling the two protagonists stories, thoughts and spiraling emotions before their actual meeting at the gallows. Beth Fitzgerald and Ross GurneyRandall turn in brilliantly controlled performances within the confines of a minimalist stage and with only the background noises of the jail and the chanting crowd outside aiding as theatrical devices.

HOT REVIEW OF THE WEEK The Tom Tom Club We wanna hang out in this clubhouse. Where the acrobats are just the right side of cheeky, the DJ is funky, the human beatbox plays a kazoo with his nose and there’s a musician playing a 360 degree drum kit – that’s up, down, and several side to sides – you could almost taste the energy it was so dense in the air. The audience were encouraged to whoop, yelp and applaud whenever they felt the need to join in, which was reasonably frequently, and the performers all had an easy friendship with each other that only strengthened the show and encouraged them to gently rib each other along the way. Unsurprisingly, one of the major highlights of this year’s Brighton Fringe.

Passion play Ravishing flamenco at Worthing’s Pavilion Theatre We’ve all gone dance crazy; salsa, ballroom, jitterbug and jive – is there anyone out there who is not stepping out and dancing? Little wonder then that flamenco is growing in popularity. In an evening of exceptional power and grace, Spanish singer Ana de los Reyes (internationally famed for her work with Joaquin Cortes) brings the energetic and unique Flamenco Express show to Worthing’s Pavilion Theatre on Sunday 22 June in a very special debut performance. Along with a highly talented cast of flamenco performers, the spirit of Spanish Gypsy will be infusing the air and setting free the flamboyant energy of this most passionate range of contemporary entertainment. In one unique show, the world of flamenco comes alive and offers a compelling insight into a rich and diverse art form. Fusing the essential elements of flamenco with their own inimitable and charismatic brand of Spanish passion and emotion, Flamenco Express unleashes raw energy and sensuous rhythms. A potent cocktail of explosive footwork, haunting singing, virtuoso guitar playing and percussive hand-clapping from southern Spain, with some of flamenco’s finest award-winning artists; their staggering ability with lightning-speed footwork and musical flair promises to leave you breathless! Flamenco, said to be the ‘cry of the people’, is a 200-year-old tradition, paying homage to its Gypsy blood. Flamenco is music, sex and history all rolled into one; the fiercest expression of the human spirit ever devised. The show is already garnering excellent reviews: “An electrical fusion of sound, movement and speed”, Dancing Today – Dancing Times. “Delighted the audience, who rewarded

them with rapturous applause and encores”, Dance Europe. “This feisty flamenco company deliver the finest in flamenco, plus sizzling soloist La Joaquina”, Time Out. “Utterly riveting variations of firecracker beats...tumultuous fervour...indelible gracefulness”, The Stage.

Lovers of great classic comedy will be fully aware of the work of Brighton legend Max Miller. The cheeky chappie had an act that constantly stretched both the audience’s and the authority’s tolerance. By modern standards of course, his humour is perhaps the palest of blue, but in his time it was racy, outrageous and got him in a great deal of trouble. Indeed, he ended up being banned by the BBC. He was equally famous for his outrageous costumes and wore fabulous floral suits with plus fours, long jackets and a perky little trilby hat. His home was in Kemp Town and there is a statue of him in New Road, Brighton, so it seems appropriate that a new play about him should have been written here in Sussex. Maxie is being recreated by actor Nelson E. Ward in a new play about the life and times of the legendary cheeky chappie, written by Crawley writer Les Hull. Les is no stranger to the Hawth Theatre in Crawley, having had his highly acclaimed play The Black Crusader performed there before touring. He has also had plays performed at the Diorama theatre in London as well as the Brighton Festival. In this new show – Maxie – Nelson takes the title role, and like the legendary comedian himself, Nelson has also appeared at the London Palladium – although not at the same time! Nelson performed with The Two Ronnies. Nelson’s other notable work includes Jonathan Miller’s company at the Old Vic, and the title role in the film Mainline Run. TV appearances include The Bill and Jury. Nelson worked at the Connaught Theatre in Worthing and was also a founder member of the Rainbow Theatre Company, which has a very high profile in Worthing. After a business trip to London in 2006, Les and Nelson found themselves in a coffee bar and the conversation turned to the late great comedian – whose career spanned so many decades – by the time they were travelling home in the train that evening Maxie was already taking shape as a production. Nelson’s own company, Vanguard Productions, is producing the play and after Crawley and Brighton it will go to London. Maxie, Hawth Theatre, Mon 24 and Tue 25 June at 7.30pm, for box office call: 01293 553636. Pavilion Theatre Brighton, 3, 4 and 5 July, for box office call: 01273 209209.

Gone Baby Gone (15) Director: Ben Affleck With its original release date delayed due to the Madeleine McCann case this tale of a young girl lost in Boston marks Ben Affleck’s directorial debut. When a young girl disappears two private detectives are hired to find the her. As the search progresses, the two detectives – played brilliantly by Casey Affleck
In Search of a Midnight Kiss (15) Dir: Alex Holdridge This lo-fi indie adventure is a tender comic tale set in Los Angeles. The story follows Wilson, a 29-year-old guy who has just had the worst year of his life. On New Year’s Eve he is determined to spend the night alone until his best friend persuades him to post a personal ad. When Vivian, a strong-willed woman responds, a chaotic and often touching journey begins. Holdridge brings a keen observational eye to a film that feels fresh despite its sometimes superkooky sentiment. Showing at Duke of York’s
The Incredible Hulk (12A)
Dir: Louis Leterrier After Ang Lee’s philosophical effort in 2003 this is a fresh attempt to turn the Incredible Hulk into a box office heavyweight. This newly gruff version tells the story of Dr Bruce Banner (played by super-nerd Ed Norton) and his quest to calm the giant green monster. This time round Leterrier, responsible for such classics as Transporter 2, ousts the subtlety in favour of action and spectacle. Chuck in an enemy called The Abomination and a script by Norton and you have a film both erratic and overblown. Showing at Cineworld, Odeon & Worthing

FILM
Brothers in arms Casey Affleck talks to Latest 7 about being directed by his older brother Ben in their new film Gone Baby Gone An obvious question to start with but how was it working for your older brother? I wish there had been some kind of ESP between us, because it would have saved us four fights a day. Unfortunately we have to vocalise our thoughts; we disagree and because we are brothers we openly disagree. So there would be quite a few times when people would be sitting around the set waiting for us to work out our disagreements. I think it actually helped in the long run because we could arrive at the same page.
The film deals with some pretty adult themes. How did it affect you as a father in real life being in a film that deals with issues of child abduction? It is pretty disturbing. I always felt I was a sensitive person but you never understand how children can make you feel until you have them. You become very vulnerable to the kind of deep sadness and tragedies that affect children. It was the kind of thing I didn’t like to think about much and luckily in this film my character is sort of naively more focused on the case and being vindicated. When I first read the script I wondered who would want to see it, but I think that Ben found a way to put it in a context where it is not necessarily as upsetting. He makes it bearable. The movie asks a lot of difficult questions – like can it ever be okay to take someone else’s life. Those are hard questions to answer.
How do you think he stands as a director in his own right? Well, I think he did a great job and I am very proud of him. He has won the respect of people like Morgan Freeman and Ed Harris. I think that says more than I ever could. He is also a natural leader, which is a very important quality in a director, and he made it with dignity and grace. In the film you play a private detective cut loose from his own morality. How did you get into the role? I tried to learn what a real private investigator does on a daily basis and what these cases are really like. I knew they would not be glamorous, but more mundane. They spend most of their time sitting at a desk, working on a computer and calling people. There are not a lot of stakeouts and chases. So when I came to the project it was about working with Ben and trying to find the character together. The film is shot in some pretty rough areas of Boston. How was it working on what is effectively your home turf? I think the movie is a little bit of a love letter to Boston. It depicts Boston realistically but also with great affection and that is something I am really proud of. Through the lens you can see Ben’s passion for the people and his love for the streets and neighbourhoods of Boston. It comes through and is moving, and is also very close to my heart. So it was a great thing to be a part of for me. I think the people of Boston think it is a positive thing overall and a realistic depiction of their city.
Also showing… A quick look at this week’s releases The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (15) Dir: Andrew Dominik With the brothers Affleck’s tense drama Gone Baby Gone hitting screens this week it’s a timely return for this Oscar-nominated revisionist Western. Having spent much of his career living in the shadow of older brother Ben, this was Casey Affleck’s major breakthrough role. As the titular assassin to Brad Pitt’s acclaimed turn as the legendary leader of the James gang, Affleck garnered huge acclaim, perhaps even more so than megastar Pitt. With Bad Seed Warren Ellis and Nick Cave providing a second haunting frontier soundtrack after their impressive score to The Proposition, this tale of hero worship turned sour provides an epic alternative to the current superhero fare. Showing at Cineworld 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 supernatural element and this time round the Soviets are the baddies, as opposed to the traditional Nazis. 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 have been mixed, so the jury’s out as to whether the pensioner Ford can still cut it as The Man in the Hat. Showing at Cineworld, Odeon and Worthing 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. Stark is nearly offed in Afghanistan by his rival and forced to use his scientific genius to both stay alive and escape from his captors, he creates a metal suit of armour and Iron Man is born. Costarring Jeff Bridges and Gwyneth Paltrow, the first blockbuster of the summer has landed. Showing at Odeon Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Persepolis (12A) Dir: Vincent Paronnaud/Marjane Satrapi The big-screen adaptation of Marjane Satrapi’s acclaimed semi-autobiographical graphic novel about growing up in Iran borrows from the distinctive style of the book. Effective black-andwhite animation highlights a far less than blackand-white personal and political situation. Showing at 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 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.

Dragons’ Den In true competitive style, pupils from Patcham High School have gone into business Patcham High School teacher Andy Hulks was so inspired by the popular TV programme Dragons’ Den, in which hopeful entrepreneurs pitch their ideas to a panel of multi-millionaire business leaders, that he decided to organise a similar competition in the school. Pupils teamed up to develop their business ideas in the hope of winning iPod shuffles – and to raise money for charity. Thirty teams from across the school took part in the competition. Each had to present its pitch to three ‘Tigers’, leading local businessmen Mark Seltzer from Howlett Clarke Solicitors, Paul Bonett from Bonett’s Estate Agents and Peter Reeve from Reeve Lettings. All three Tigers listened intently to every one of the 30 pitches. In the first round, pupils had to work together to create a healthy snack bar. Ten teams made it through to the semi-final, when their task was to present and publish a magazine suitable for children or teenagers. The Tigers then whittled the teams down to five finalists. For the final part of the competition, each team was given a budget of £10 and had to create a business plan, working to ensure maximum profitability and viability – as if they were creating authentic business models. Any profit made by the teams was donated to the charity of the their choice. Event organiser Andy Hulks said the Brighton Tigers were “every bit as ruthless as the Dragons”. Each project was scrutinised closely, with team members questioned about their proposals, and eventually the winning team was chosen. Reuben Young and Daniel Barnard’s team, which went by the name of ‘Default’, was the eventual winner. The team staged a rock concert featuring bands from within the school. Tickets were sold to pupils and staff and the venture created a profit of £94. The money was donated to Cancer Research, while Default were delighted with their new iPod shuffles. Runners up received book tokens, and everyone who had taken part were given cinema tickets as a reward for their hard work. “We were genuinely impressed with the standard,” said Mark Seltzer of Howlett Clarke. “The teams had clearly given it a lot of thought, and some of the ideas were really clever. “But in the end, as with any good business model, we looked at the viability and profitability of each project. Ideas are great, but in business, it’s got to work.”
EVENTSHIGHLIGHTS Feather and fireworks ball

STAND-UP COMEDY
A laughing matter
Write club
Victoria Nangle considers delving into the comedy gold mine that is the Edinburgh Festival I’ve been contemplating getting myself a gig or two up in Edinburgh this August Festival time – feeling the fear and doing it anyway. With friends of mine already honing their shows and thinking of catchy names to draw in the spoilt and heavily-indulged audiences that get to pad around the Scottish capital, it’s starting to press down on me. I don’t think I’d like to put together a full show of 20 minutes or so. Organising the venue, dates, accommodation, travel and publicity in one of the most over-saturated entertainment markets on the world is not my idea of a holiday. But a couple of open spots will suit me down to the ground, even if they do kick off at half past two in the morning. My chief reason for travelling up North is to support those I know who will be performing up there, and to catch the latest and greatest and tipped for the top. Brightonian comics great and small are getting their shows in fighting shape right now, treating us with their previews and fine tunings. We’ve got a tradition to keep up after last year Zoe Lyons was nominated for if.comedy’s Best Newcomer award and Stephen Grant received the Holy Grail that is a five-star review from Chortle.co.uk. Plus, relative newcomers Paul McCaffrey and Toby Whithouse could be found in the semi-finals of the So You Think You’re Funny 2007 competition in the fantastically set Guilded Balloon. Hopefully we’ll have some more semi-finalists this year to support (see below), but you get the picture of East Sussex success tradition. And I need to give them the support everyone else wants too.
“Brightonian comics great and small are getting their shows in fighting shape right now” But that’s off in August. And in Scotland. In the meantime may I suggest supporting our comedy brethren. It’s scary stuff and they appreciate every lone audience member that turns up to the preview operation. Sure, before long we’ll have the great and the good of the comedy world turning up at the Komedia to run through their previews. We’ll get highlights from the high rollers before they ever hear ‘och noo’, but I’m just saying not to forget our homegrown talent in the shininess of names off the telly. Our lot are pretty ace too. In fact, they’re better than that – they’re fan-dabby-dozey! Check out our local boys and girls’ Edinburgh previews and get the jewels without the travel carbon footprint. We’ve already got the highlights here.

John Davies discovers that the passenger of Billy Cowie’s novella is here for more than just the ride Now, that’s what I call a novella! It’s just not fair. Billy Cowie is talented enough as a composer, choreographer and installation artist. Now he’s written a novella According to blurbs, nobody writes novellas, which is a shame, when half the chocolate-thin delicacies that drape the shelves of literary fiction are exactly that – novellas. The description of his Passenger as a novel is the only possible quibble I have with this refreshing, assured, elegantly witty and deeply thought-provoking debut from Mr Cowie, currently gracing the University of Brighton as Principal Research Fellow. Although it’s generally derogatory, I quite like the word novelette, which traces its origins at least to 1780, but can also mean a free form piano composition containing a variety of forms (after Schumann). This double meaning is especially useful when applied to Passenger as the narrative is deeply embedded in a world of music, and the twin protagonists – a brother and the sister embedded within him – communicate initially through musical tapping: “Tap tap tap – tap. He hears a clicking sound. It goes on and on. It is the rhythm of Beethoven’s fifth symphony, bar after bar, with the counterpoints and accompaniments filled in.” However, playing with words won’t make Passenger, at 180 pages and some 36,000 words, a novelette. It is, quite definitely, or as definite as one can be about a shape-shifting literary form, a novella. Yet even that shape-shifting quality fits Cowie’s invisible focus – the twin 42-year old consciousness embedded somewhere around her brother’s colon and small intestines “fitted around your spine and organs in a quite beautiful fashion”, as his consultant tells him. It’s also appropriate that the novella is associated with the horror genre and writers like H. P. Lovecraft and the master himself, Stephen King. When you remember that Kafka’s Metamorphosis, Orwell’s Animal Farm, Mann’s Death in Venice and Conrad’s Heart of Darkness are all novellas, you realise that wittingly or not, Cowie has chosen the ideal vehicle for his story and has created a very worthy successor to the line. Passenger connects with the horror genre through subject matter – Roma, the sister, could be a kind of internal succubus – but the book steps away from horror conventions through a lightness of touch, with humour inlaid as delicately as filigree. The ambitions of academics (particularly), musicians, medics and medical technicians – all are brushed lightly but tellingly with deserved wit and whimsy. True to form, Passenger wastes no words on sub-plots or extraneous characters. The author has achieved an airy, open composition and it’s a great story. “This book is planned according to a definite and balanced design”, wrote Carson McCullers of her The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, a book that crops up in Passenger. McCullers was as musical as Cowie. Passenger is an important book. It demonstrates again how an author can believe in his or her own work and self-publish, to be picked up by a commercial publisher later on the journey. It demonstrates that the art of book design is far from dead with a delightful and appropriate hardback design by Ghost. It demonstrates how the simple and effective use of a publicist can help promote a good book effectively. It is another triumph for the new Scottish literary school. Congratulations to Old Street Press, the publisher and to Billy Cowie, who seems to have more than one foetus in fetu himself, with the talents of three or more people residing in one!

Barfly and Pressure Point close Two of Brighton’s gigging circuit staples have shut their doors. The Barfly has closed until the autumn for refurbishment and the installation of soundproofing following discussions with the city council about noise complaints, with all gigs to be rearranged. Meanwhile, just across the road, the Pressure Point is closed until further notice, awaiting a new buyer for the venue. Barfly head office has issued the following statement: “In order to fully capitalise on the venues’ potential we have decided to undertake a further programme of layout/refurbishment work as part of on-going investment in our venue estate.” The Pressure Point’s owner, Gareth Gwynne Smith, cited a downturn in trade after the ban on smoking in public as a key factor in his decision to sell up. For details of rearranged gigs, go to www.barflyclub.com/brighton
Adur Our cousins over the river in Shoreham have been organising the superb Adur Festival for 21 years now, and this year there is another excellent selection of live music at various venues, to go with the theatre, literature and arts events, including the recently opened Ropetackle Centre. Chris Jagger, Eliza Carthy, Richard Durrant, The Animals, The Fold and Black Umfolosi are just some of the acts that you can see. Adur Festival, until Sun 15 June, www.adurfestival.com
In 2006, one of the most unlikely pairings in modern music, former Belle and Sebastian cellist/vocalist Isobel Campbell and graveltongued grunge icon Mark Lanegan, came together to record the year’s surprise hit. Ballad of the Broken Seas, a low key blend of haunting folk, dark Americana and Gainsbourg/Birkinesque simmering sensuality was nominated for the year’s Mercury Music Prize. A bold statement of two worlds colliding, the record lost out to the Arctic Monkeys’ debut, though remains a modern classic. In between Lanegan’s work on his Gutter Twins and Soulsavers projects, the pair found time to record a second album, the similarly eerie Sunday at Devil Dirt. Following a memorable Komedia performance first time round, Campbell and Lanegan play St George’s Church this week. You've been touring Italy. How was that? Isobel Campbell: Italy was fine except we all got bitten! We were playing in a tent in a field and there were lots of creepy-crawlies in the tent. There were no toilets either! Are you looking forward to the Brighton show? IC: I’ve heard the venue’s nice. It’s the smallest capacity we’re playing on this tour, and I like the smaller places. It should be good. I really like Brighton. I used to go out with a guy who lived in London and I told him I wouldn’t move to London for him, though I would move to Brighton. I like London, but I don’t think I could live there. What I’ve seen of Brighton, I really like. It’s got a good atmosphere and is quite manageable. How does the new record compare to the first? IC: I don’t really put the two albums up against each other; they’re more like brother and sister records. I’ve got a soft spot for both records for different reasons.
If you would like your event listed please email listings@thelatest.co.uk
Will you record more Americana music? IC: I don’t know . When I finished this record, I thought ‘oh man, I’m not gonna write another song ever again’, but everything depends on what I feel like at the time. I’ve recently started thinking ‘I can’t wait to get home and start working on some songs again’. I’ve no idea how they’ll sound. I am a big country fan, though. Not Big Country (laughs) the band. I like my Americana and the Southern, Johnny Cash thing. The first album was written by you, with a few songs written by Mark. How is it this time? IC: I wrote all of them, but my guitarist Jim wrote ‘Salvation’. Mark was welcome to write, but he was quite happy not to. Working with him is a joy! It’s good. He’s good. That’s all I can say really! Is there a sexual spark between you and Mark? IC: I think people would maybe like there to be, but we work well musically together. Performing with him is one of my favourite things to do. The thought of me romantically with Mark is funny. You famously were in a relationship with Belle and Sebastian frontman Stuart Murdoch. Are you still friendly since you split up? IC: I sometimes see him out and about, but I haven’t seen him in a while. Some of the songs on my earlier records are about him, though not recently. That ship has sailed. Will you work with Belle and Sebastian again? IC: I doubt it. Chris Geddes from the band plays keyboards on the record, and he was always like my major ally when I was with the band. Yeah, I don’t think in a group situation, like eight people, but maybe on a smaller scale. I really don’t know. Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan, St George’s Church, Wednesday 11 June

A weekly review of local and national releases
Brighton Latest Download Chart Top 10 Subtle
One of the 21st century’s most important musical artists so far has to be Subtle, a post-rock band with tentacles spearing into bands such as Why? and where the dense atmospherics of hip hop meet a progressive/ Krautrock sense of collective composition and comic book imagery. Jim James and his My Morning Jacket have been favourites on the underground alt-indie scene for some time now, and their fifth album Evil Urges, is another densely produced, reverb-heavy work. Perhaps not so textured as previous offerings, the songs come to the fore, even going down pleasant soft-rock avenues with the likes of ‘Thank You, Too!’. There’s also the usual country music flourishes throughout. Ah, ‘She’s Not There’. Possibly one of the most played songs in the history of radio. And soon you’ll get the chance to see The Zombies perform this song at their Dome gig in the middle of June. But there’s more to them than that one song; Odessey and Oracle was their second and last album, released after their break-up, and which is now a bona fide classic English pop record from the late 60s, featuring their other smash ‘Time of the Season’. Of course, there is a retrospective (The Zombies and Beyond) being released to tie-in with their UK tour, featuring many of the best tracks from their two albums plus a smattering of solo songs by the two main songwriters Rod Argent and Colin Blunstone. The indie guitar revolution is fast petering out, now that the initial rush of excitement and innovation is wearing a bit thin. Exceptions will always come to the fore though and Cage The Elephant are one of those; a brilliantly buzzing blend of glam and southern rock by these renegade Kentuckians with their debut album of the same name. One of the highlights of the recent Great Escape festival was the wigged-out four-piece The Golden Dogs from Canada. Throwing sounds via the mindsets of Super Furry Animals, they are an extremely exuberant, bouncy oddball outfit. UK indie-pop outfit Cazals are signed to the French label Kitsune, and mix up the trad indie guitar circuit with many forays into the world of dance, including a few dates supporting Daft Punk and remixing Digitalism. A cut above the faceless mob, Cazals’ What of Our Future, does indeed point to the future with its inventive guitar-based indie dance pop.

Jaime Pettit gets down to a bit of Jailhouse rock‘n’roll at the uber-energetic jive-off that is Ookie Ook at the Engine Rooms If I had just collaborated my travel and drink fund, stuck to the 8p noodles, sold my soul...I could have purchased at least 1/10th of the Market Diner by 2075! I ponder this as I'm sat sharing my 4am 'usual' dish with my wood-tech teacher cloner. We marinaded our chips 'n' beans with a little side splash of alternative scene debate. Apparently there are several monthly affairs I must indulge in before I can be truely embedded in the grime of Brighton rock. My pickle is tickled by some 50s rock ‘n’ roll, so I headed on down to the Ookie ook@The Engine Room. Like a frat house basement, peeling paint, stickers and flyers piece together the decor. The simple bar serves only spirits with balls, and plastic pints. Fully loaded I'd got plenty of roll as I warped back to the 50s and caught up with the rock in one giant leap on to the dance floor. We swung and swirled and felt the frills of ladies in frocks as they danced with tie-clad mannies. When your feet are engulfed in fire perch grab a booth, just don't expose sweaty orifices to the red leather as you’ll surgically separate yourself!

Meanwhile those who thought a gym pass was as worthwhile as a utility belt for dog walkers (thanks Apprentice!) got their exercise pole swinging.

A first class service
William Tells
Brighton business owner and Gay Business Forum member, Mike Dalley has an expert view on village business. By Paul Disney
Will Harris wonders just what is ‘his type’? Bald, drunk men need not apply
Describe yourself in three words. Grumpy old git! No seriously, caring, and I hope considerate with a sense of community. Why Brighton and Hove? I came to Brighton for a dirty weekend more than 40 years ago and have stayed ever since. How long have you owned Cardome in St James's Street? I bought the business seven years ago when I retired – I wanted something to keep myself occupied. It’s doing well and I put that down to offering something very different from most other card shops in the city. I use local artists’ cards plus a big selection of humour cards and the shop attracts a wide range of loyal customers who appreciate that. I even have regular shoppers from Birmingham! Now I also have online sales www.cardome.co.uk Tell me about the Gay Business Forum (GBF)? It provides an opportunity for all gay-owned and gay-run businesses to raise their profiles and together help to attract more visitors to the city. Every member has a web entry and the site is our own and linked ‘visit Britain’. It’s professionally optimised so will rank well. Staff training courses can be tailored to your needs. Members can opt into national and international promotion. By working together we can better represent members interests with various statutory bodies, also the social networking can be great fun. So it’s important to have a unified approach to gay business and tourism then? In my view it is vital to realise that we all have to work extra hard, especially in the current economic climate. All LGBT businesses need to work together to reinvent ourselves and become much more attractive as a destination for visitors as well as local people. Local people? One of the major questions we should be asking ourselves is why is that not so many local people frequent the bars in Brighton? I think part of it is economic but I also believe there is also a more fundamental reason, maybe value for money and having fun. Value for money includes good service for which I’m willing to pay. Can you emphasis what you mean by “value for money and having fun”? Well I don’t speak for everyone but as an older, mature guy, I sometimes find it difficult to select a location for socialising. I now put comfort and quality service as a key priority and from discussions with many younger guys; a lot of them share my view. We all want to spend our money in the ‘village’ but at times it’s difficult to find a suitable venue where you can sit down and chat to your friends and get a quality service from the staff. GBF staff training can help with that! Does Brighton and Hove offer value for money for LGBT people in the city and for visitors? No, I don’t think it does. Lots of my customers say they don’t go out on the ‘scene’ these days because it can be expensive. They would rather stay in with friends and have a bottle of wine. So we need to find ways to reinvent ourselves to ensure we are giving customers what they want. How can gay businesses improve the city’s image and attract more visitors? That’s an easy one, 70 per cent of the income in Brighton and Hove is from tourism. Gay businesses need to get together under the GBF to enhance what we already have. We need smart, friendly bars and restaurants, with quality staff who understand what the customer requires – namely good service. If you were mayor what would be the first item on your agenda? Pedestrian priority. We need to make our streets greener and more friendly. I would plant more trees in all our shopping areas including St James’s Street and make sure that our environment is a first class.
The other day a man asked me if he was “my type”. Now usually I’d waste no time in raising my pen to my lips and staring reflectively into mid-distance while rhapsodising over what it is that makes this person or that person attractive and how this varies according to individual tastes. However, on this occasion, exhibit A looked like Alexei Sayle’s older, uglier brother and was so drunk he could barely talk, so I was able to cut to the chase, smile indulgently and run away. Ok, I’m confident that, when looking for a prospective beau, any one of us can give a disarmingly instant yea, nay or wahey. But what about those times when your initial response isn’t clear cut; when you can see that a person is attractive (physically, intellectually, spiritually, or whatever combination floats your love-boat) but you don’t get that ‘zing kapow’ that – in my stupidly romantic head at least – accompanies Cupid’s feathered barbs? In such situations, I wonder, are we all guilty of typecasting? Think back over your past lovers and try to spot the similarities between them, those defining features that unite the scattered plot points (NB. I suspect that, for those of you used to the Brighton dating web, some plot points will have already managed to unite themselves without your help, but that’s just Brighton). Apparently, if you look hard enough – or date long enough – those similarities can be used to build up a picture of your ideal lover; sort of like an ex-partner Magic Eye. But is it really that simple?
“Exhibit A looked liked Alexei Sayle’s uglier brother, and was so drunk he could barely talk” The truth is that most people do, broadly speaking, have set things they look for in a partner. I’ve had white friends who’ve only ever dated black men, and black friends who’ve only ever dated black men (clearly some black men out there are never short of dates!), and one lesbian acquaintance who steadfastly refuses to buckle to advances from any girl under five foot ten. “What about Christina Aguilera?” I once asked her incredulously, only to be met by an extremely lesbian shake of the head. Privately, I’ve always thought that dating her must be like going on the log flume at Alton Towers; you have to be ‘yea tall’ before even the possibility of getting wet. It’s pretty obvious, then, that most people have at least a ball-park picture of what they’re looking for in a prospective partner, a realisation that’s left me all the more stumped as to why I have no clue what ‘my type’ actually is. Examining the motley assortment of ex-lovers I’ve managed to assemble down the years, I’m far from overwhelmed with similarities. Okay, the majority of them have been tall, but what about the ones who were short? Were they lapses in judgement, or has ‘my type’ changed over time? The more I think about it, the less sure I am that I even have a type. After all, with a whole world of dating options out there, what’s the point of limiting ourselves? Or, alternatively, as my best friend Em so eloquently puts it: “I used to have a type. Not so much any more, but you can put that down to desperation.” http://tiny.cc/Will997 (Facebook account required to Log in)

The Sussex Beacon held a birthday bush planting afternoon last week with a garden party of ‘indulgent cakes and fancies’ for friends of the Beacon who have contributed in some way to the Beacon’s success. Brighton’s finest turned out to witness the bush planting and among the speakers at the event were James Ledward, editor of Gscene, Kat Williams the General Manager of the Sussex Beacon and Mayor of Brighton and Hove Garry Peltzer Dunn. “I am very grateful to be asked to come along this afternoon and show my support to the Sussex Beacon,” said the Mayor. “It’s thanks to the team-work of the staff and volunteers that has made the Beacon such a success today. It’s important that everyone comes together to support the Beacon and make it a centre of excellence for the future.”
Help stamp out homophobic bullying Nominations are now open for the Diana Awards and the Diana Anti-bullying Awards. Organisers of the Diana Awards have invited people to put forward candidates who have demonstrated the qualities of selflessness and compassion associated with the late Princess Diana. The Awards held three times throughout the academic year are open to pupils aged between 12 and 18-years-of-age. “The Diana Award endeavours to appreciate and celebrate the work which young people make to their school, family or community especially those who are peer mentors, fundraisers, school counsellors, environmental campaigners, sports leaders, local community volunteers, and those who have overcome adversity,” says Emma Pelling, press spokesperson for the Diana Awards. “Our Anti-bullying Award covers all types of bullying, whether cyber, homophobic or playground bullying.” Homophobic bullying is rife in schools according to Stonewall,
the lesbian and gay lobbying organisation. Their report, Education For All in 2007, found that almost 65 per cent of gay pupils had experienced direct bullying while 75 per cent of young people attending faith schools have experienced homophobic bullying. While over 50 per cent of those questioned felt they couldn’t be ‘themselves’ at school. And 35 per cent of gay pupils do not feel safe or accepted at school. “We are looking for positive role models that challenge existing stereotypes of young people and gives them public recognition.” Says Ms Pelling. “That covers homophobic bullying and we would encourage pupils and teachers from all over Brighton and Hove to nominate someone they think has done something positive to combat this type of bullying.” For further information visit: www.dianaawards.org.uk or call: 0845 3372987.

NEWS House Guest Two members of the Brighton and Hove (actually) Gay Men’s Chorus will appear next week in the new ITV series House Guest which gives five couples and friends the ultimate hosting challenge – having a stranger stay overnight in their home! The hosts will be awarded marks for food, hosting and overnight accommodation – testing the warmth of their welcome, the quality of their cuisine, the enjoyment of the entertainment and the crispness of their sheets. Mark Hyndman and Anthony Pritchard, who both sing with the chorus, are friends who decided to try their hand at some joint hospitality. Watch the results of their efforts each day from 16 June. With a £1000 cash prize up for grabs they will have to work hard to extend their hospitality from dinner, right through to breakfast the following morning.
Queer as Folk While Pittsburgh, Pensylvania in the US doesn’t exactly sound like a gay ‘hotspot’, it is in fact where the US version of Queer as Folk is set. Based on the groundbreaking British series, by Russell T Davis the sometimes-graphic portrayal of a world not usually seen on television provides an intimate look at a group of gay men and women unapologetically celebrating life. Relationships, careers, loves and ambitions unfold in a remarkable tapestry of everyday contemporary life. Full of drugs, adventure, love and friendship, Queer as Folk follows the lives of five gay friends who go to work, raise children, look forward to the weekend – and have a healthy interest in sex. Queer as Folk Season three comes to DVD from Warner Home Video on 23 June, 2008.

Nice Rack at the Candy Bar
Monthly night, Rack 'Em Up, was a hot ticket as DJ Aquarius delivered a set of Country and Soft Rock to an enthusiastic group of supporters from the local girls scene. Donning Cowboy Hats and Boots in celebration of tonight's country flavour, there was a stampede to the dance floor at the slightest whiff of Dolly or Shania. Perhaps, unsurprisingly, it was 'Man, I Feel Like a Woman' that had every lesbian in the room singing their hearts out! I rather felt like one myself... I rather predict this one surreptitiously moving up the ranks of alternative nights out – it's fun – you should try it. Image and edit: James Brooks www.realbrighton.com

She says it how she sees it
Demanding television Dani loves on-demand telly but can see its downsides I am a regular On Demand-er! (and just in case you are wondering an On Demand-er is someone, like me, who uses the Virgin On Demand service more than twice a week). I had always thought On Demand was the best thing to happen to modern-day telly but it has a competitor in the form of the iPlayer. So I am becoming a iPlayer-er which has roughly the same definition as an On Demand-er. The reason I have become such a big fan of the iPlayer is because I recently watched the Weakest Link special edition. It was a special edition because the ‘Links’ were a selection of Britain’s best, of what make us all proud to be from this fine country. All the most blonde, dim and infuriatingly stupid Wags! And I can honestly say that I had never laughed so much at the stupidity of adults before. At the very moment when Charlie (the irritating, pointless, self-obsessed Big Brother failure and cousin of a footballer) answered a question along the lines of: “The nickname given to the wobbly skin around someone’s waist that hangs over their trousers is a ‘jelly’ what?” She replied: “Oh, I know [touch of the hair] what it is. I know this one…” (Checks the audience is looking at her.) “Fish? Jellyfish!” That is the very point I fell in love with the iPlayer. What a wonderful way to start your evening. Heading home after hearing Chris Moyles repeat over and over how stupid this collection of DD-breasted women are, and then being able to head home after a hard day’s work, watch it and laugh your head off. Although I can assure you I am not a Weakest Link fan. That episode is the only one I will watch for another year. Gone are the good old days of speeding home in hope you will catch your favourite show. I remember when I was at primary school. I used to love getting home in time for Rainbow but kids today are given no incentive to exercise because if their chubby little legs can’t carry them fast enough they can always watch it on the computer! Which is both good and bad because it keeps them off the streets and makes them fatter all at the same time. I love these advances in technology but I do think they have major downsides. For the obvious reasons I have already mentioned and also because they only keep certain shows on for limited amounts of time. Go On Demanding or iPlaying and see for yourself! It will certainly give you something to do on the occasional rainy evening.

Movies on the box this week
TUESDAY 10 Love Actually ★✩✩✩✩ (2003, ITV2, 9pm. Dir Richard Curtis) An offering from the godfather of British comedy Richard Curtis that is so full of saccharine sweetness it can instantly bring on a diabetes attack in even the softest of hearts. A star-studded cast including Liam Neeson, Bill Nighy, Colin Firth, Emma Thompson and, of course, Hugh Grant.
WEDNESDAY 11 Beetlejuice ★★★★✩ (1988, TCM, 9pm. Dir Tim Burton) An early promise of the mania that was to follow from Tim Burton. A sweet and dearly departed couple (Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin – yes, he can be sweet) employ the help of ‘bio-exorcist’ Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton) to get rid of the nasty new people living in their home.
THURSDAY 12 The Day After Tomorrow
★★★✩✩ (2004, Film4, 9pm. Dir Roland Emmerich) It’s the classic tale of scientist Dennis Quaid telling everyone that the world as we know it is about to change, with politicians paying no attention and the world going to hell in a handcart. Like a disaster-movie high-cheese Jaws but with bigger and better effects and a green moral tale that’ll get you recycling.
FRIDAY 13 Groundhog Day ★★✩✩✩ (1993, Sky One, 9pm. Dir Harold Ramis) If at first you don’t succeed – do it all over agin. So says Groundhog Day, the story of Bill Murray’s weatherman who is cursed to repeat the same day again and again until he gets it right, growing to be less of an obnoxious human being along the way. Aaah. He learns how to be nice by being bashed over the head with a message. The Ring ★★★✩✩ (2002, BBC1, 11.40pm. Dir Gore Verbinski) This US remake of the Korean/Japanese/ Chinese megahit horror film remains true to the classic. Our female journalist, Naomi Watts, investigates a mysterious video cassette which renders the watchers of it doomed to die within a week of viewing. Unfortunately she sees it too. D’oh!

SATURDAY 14 The Adventures Of Huck Finn
★★★★✩ (1993, Five, 3.50pm. Dir Stephen Sommers) An incredible cast of respected actors come together to tell Mark Twain’s classic American tale of a boy growing up in the deep South before the Civil War. With Elijah Wood as Huck, Ron Perlman as his abusive pa and Courtney B Vance as runaway slave and Huck’s best friend Jim, this is a treat for a Saturday afternoon.
Mr & Mrs Smith ★★★★✩ (2005, Channel Four, 10pm. Dir Doug Liman) What do you do when your marriage has lost all its pizzazz and secrecy is the norm? A beautiful couple – Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie – put some action back into their relationship when the two spies-for-hire are recruited to assassinate each other. Puts broken crockery into perspective. Fun stuff.
SUNDAY 15 Phone Booth ★★★★★ (2002, Film4, 9pm. Dir Joel Schumacher) Brilliantly tense low budget but tightly done thriller starring Colin Farrell as a philandering chancer, trapped in a phone booth by a sniper on the other end of the line and forced to confess to his web of lies. Co-starring Forest Whittaker as the police officer trying to talk him out of the booth, and Keifer Sutherland’s voice full of sinister purpose on the other end of the receiver.
MONDAY 16 Tequila Sunrise ★★★✩✩ (1988, Five, 11.05pm. Dir Robert Towne) From a time when Mel Gibson and Kurt Russell could viably share equal billing – gasp at the mere possibility – comes this average caper of two friends who end up on different sides of the law. With a little bit of glam from Michelle Pfeiffer and Raul Julia thrown in too.

wednesday 11 The Apprentice BBC1, 9pm It’s the last week, the last task and the last candidate standing. Who’s got any fingernails left? Us neither. For the final task, each candidate is given a week to create and market a new men’s fragrance which they will then launch to an audience of 100 industry experts. Boardroom time for the last time. Sniff.
Britain’s Biggest Babies ITV1, 9pm Some are born big, some achieve bigness and some have biggness thrust upon them – to paraphrase the Bard. This is about those born big, as Britain’s babies are being born so big that some are breaking their collar bones and arms just trying to come into the world. Obesity from birth? A legacy you don’t want to pass on.
The Falklands Play BBC4, 9pm With war in the Middle East – twice – in the last ten years it’s interesting to look further back at how a distant war actually saved a government rather than damning it. Ian Curteis’ oncecontroversial dramatisation of the before, during and after between the British, Argentinians and the US tells a compelling tale.

thursday 12 Big Brother Channel 4, 9pm It’s been a week already and can you remember what it was like before all your new friends arrived at the house? Before you had people to watch when you came back late from a night out? Before you had people to make you feel composed by contrast? Before the screaming on the first night got to you? Us neither.
House Five, 9pm It would seem that the so-called ‘random’ patients’ symptoms coming under House’s care are designed specifically to antagonise him. First there was the lady who couldn’t lie, now they’ve got a patient who is just too nice. Is there no end to this torment to the tall limping one? Seems not.
Shopping is My Life BBC3, 7pm Shopoholics by any other name... it’s the two-hander stylist Faye Sawyer and development coach Nick Jankel trying to stop poor retail therapist 26-year-old Louise Hendry from falling into a life of unfixable debt and pretty frocks. How to make the rest of us feel moderate with our own store cards and overdraft. Unhealthy?

Margaret Thatcher: The Long Walk to Finchley BBC4, 10pm The Iron Lady, Milk Snatcher, simply Maggie – whatever you call her, in this period of what looks like defeat for a woman presidential candidate, Margaret Thatcher certainly got a lot done in 1979.
