Next weekend, thousands of people could encounter hurricanes, flash floods and unsavoury sanitary conditions at Glastonbury Festival. Maybe it’ll be sunny and they'll have the time of their lives. Or maybe they’ll end up sitting in six-inches of mud trying to roll cigarettes with soggy tobacco. Many Brightonians think the risk is worth it. But for those who don’t, the city has Gladstonebury. This one day festival in the Lewes Road pub this Saturday is guaranteed to be warm, dry and offer cold beer for less than £4 a pint. Find out more in music news (p37). Speaking of mud, Katie had to trek through the trenches in pursuit of celebrity gossip at Hay-on-Wye festival, where she bumped into Fay Weldon and had a discussion about feminism (p9). The Children’s Trust will be happy if the weather's good next Saturday, as that’s the date of their 3km fun run at Preston Park. Find out how to take part on page 34. Maybe Dani will join in – she’s already getting fitter by cutting down her smoking. But how is she going to beat her new addiction to lollipops? (p10) Nick Aldwinckle is very excited about his forthcoming holiday – he’s going to spend five-days camping in Hove. No, not in the middle of the Lawns, he’s off to the Norwegian Hove Festival, which will have sets from Brighton bands such as Blood Red Shoes (p37). Andrew has enjoyed another luxurious jaunt – this time to a hotel with a lift that changes colour each time you travel, where he stayed in a six-room suite. Jealous? You could stay there too – find out more about One Alwych on page 25. Do you think George Clooney is clinically obese? None of his glamorous girlfriends have complained, but according to diet guidelines he should slim down. Phil Mills met renowned psychologist Susie Orbach, who thinks it’s all stuff and nonsense (p13). In Celeb City with Jo Brooks (p11), find out which Brighton resident has been voted Dad of the Year in a survey of UK mums. In our listings section, starting on page 29, film director Louis Leterrier talks about his vision for the new incarnation of the Incredible Hulk (p33) and LGBT geographer Kath Browne ponders what makes a space heterosexual (p42). In news, I talked to a councillor spearheading the campaign to stop a Brighton school becoming a semi-privatised city academy (p15). For your glamour fix this week, Tim Richardson has pictures from the fashion show at Brighton University’s Burt, Brill and Carden Graduate Show (p8) and we have a six-page feature on the best jewellers Brighton and Hove has to offer (p16–21).

Food (and drink) for thought
John Pilger: Reporting the World – DVD
On Friday 6 June, leaders in local food, drink and agriculture gathered at the South of England Show, Ardingly, to launch the 2008/09 awards. Clive Beddall OBE hosted the launch and was delighted to help ensure the quality of finalists in this year’s awards as chair of the judges for the third year. Gerald Röser, chair of the Master Chefs of Great Britain and head chef at Mirabelle restaurant, Eastbourne, stirred up a dish in a live Ready Steady Cook using Sussex produce. Steve Pineau, a professional sommelier who owns the wine and food bar Vino Veritas in the North Laine, lead a wine tasting with a panel of judges, including Andrew Kay, tasting great Sussex wines from vineyards across the county. Guests also enjoyed Sussex-produced apple juice from Hidden Spring Vineyard and delicious canapés created with Sussex ingredients by Lime Food Design. The awards are based on public voting and everyone in Sussex is allowed one nomination or vote per category, so organisers are calling on food and drink lovers to vote for their favourites at: www.sussexfoodawards.com
John Pilger began his career in his native Australia before moving to London in the 60s. The recipient of multiple awards, most notably the UN Media Peace Prize, he is a world–renowned journalist, author and respected factual filmmaker. Drawing extensively from eyewitness testimonies and the unwavering, ever-candid eye of the camera, Pilger’s works make uneasy viewing as he uncovers shocking truths behind political facades, and delves into subject matter where many other journalists would fear to tread. This third volume of his work contains 15 documentaries, including An Unfashionable Tragedy – the plight of the Bangladeshi during the horrors of the famine, A Nod and a Wink – the use of conspiracy laws in British justice, and Zap – the Weapon is Food – an investigation into the US policy that makes food more powerful than oil. To win one of two copies of this new DVD set simply tell us: Which country did ‘A Nod and a Wink’ examine? See below for details.

Dedicated followers of fashion On Saturday 31 May, over 500 graduating students from the University of Brighton showcased their work at the acclaimed Burt Brill and Cardens Graduate Show 2008. An annual highlight of the arts calendar for the south, the renowned Faculty of Arts and Architecture was transformed into a massive gallery showcasing work in a staggering range of media and subject areas from 25 courses. The University of Brighton prides itself on producing some of the UK’s most talented artists and designers. Fashion graduate Julien Macdonald was voted British Designer of the Year 2001 and Gresham Blake has become a modish tailor to style-conscious stars. Fashion and textiles student Helena Dunn used zips and seams graphically and decoratively against delicate wool jerseys, silks and hardwearing denims in her womenswear collection. Her sophisticated conceptual approach to dress design takes inspiration from her nine-month work placement with Hussein Chalayan.
Crown Court Volume 4 – DVD This stalwart of 1970s and 1980s daytime telly sets up the scruples of ordinary people. Over three episodes a case is told to a regular jury, using actors and a fictitious crime. At the end it’s down to those who have paid attention to decide upon an unscripted verdict. The first properly – although somewhat limited – interactive television show, who would’ve thought it could lead to Big Brother, I’d Do Anything and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? A unique reflection of the opinions of the people during this time, this is the fourth volume to be released in this popular series. To be in with a chance of winning one of two copies of this DVD tell us: What is a gavel, used in a court of law? See below for entry details.
Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead – DVD Since making his directorial debut to much acclaim in 1957 with 12 Angry Men, Sidney Lumet has been lauded as a gift to the American film industry. This, his latest offering, includes an all-star cast including Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ethan Hawke, Marisa Tomei and Albert Finney. It’s a heist movie, telling the tale of two brothers organising the robbery of their father’s jewellery store. Of course, things don’t go to plan and the heist proves to be a catalyst of terrible events, each setting off the next disaster. To win one of two copies of this new DVD, tell us: Who was the star of Lumet’s 1957 film ‘12 Angry Men’? 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. Closing date for entries: Tuesday 24 June 2008.

What Katie did Katie gets bogged down in some wannabe highbrow literary adventures...
Hay in high heels From a soft sandy beach in Cannes, where the sun is stroking your shoulders and a cashmere clad A-list are swimming around you in a sweet smelling sea of Gucci, Chanel, Fendi and Prada – to a cold field in Wales, where you’re shivering in your wellies while the mud laps your ankles and the wireless is failing as your editor screams down the phone for stories. I am at Hay-on-Wye’s Literary Festival. I haven’t had a day off in two weeks. My eyes are heavy and my pink wellies seem to have a hole in them. On the stage ahead Cherie Blair is giving an interview and with a shivering hand my pencil is making barely legible notes on a damp pad. Tony, as usual, is the topic of the chat: “My husband calls me a bolshy-minded Scouser”, she grins, admitting she couldn’t wait to finally have her own say when she left No.10. Her book, she tells us, is finally her chance to tell her own story, even if it is a little personal at times: “A lot of things written about me are just not true – I decided to speak for myself.” “Tony doesn’t want to talk about the human side – he doesn’t want to be seen as soppy or romantic,” she explains, adding we should think ourselves lucky that: “there were no sex scenes in the book – grandma wouldn’t like it.” Later I find her signing books in a gusty marquee and try and ask her a question of my own – but Cherie is not friends with members of the press and her PR shrugs me off and hurries me along. At least Jamie Oliver has a sense of humour as he advises how to get my man into the kitchen: “Men are pretty simple; everything they do is for sex. My suggestion; any woman that wants their fella to cook – abstain!” I mill around the field, collecting gossip from tent to tent, chatting up the bar staff and cornering authors until a little gem comes along and I type it up. After starring alongside prima ballerina Darcy Bussell in Viva La Diva now 27-year-old mezzo soprano Katherine Jenkins seems to be keen to live up to the show’s name, after issuing the organisers of Hay-on-Wye Literary Festival with a list of demands prior to her performance. They may not compare with the requirements of some starlets but still organisers of the festival – who this year hosted ex-president Jimmy Carter and Cherie Blair with minimal fuss – were shocked at the Welsh
Katherine Jenkins
born singer’s pedantic instructions for her arrival. Katherine had a list of demands that included: three towels that must not be new, six vegetarian meals served at half-hour intervals, two bars of Green and Black’s – one dark, one white – two cans of Coke, two Diet Cokes and two diet and caffeine free Cokes all of which had to be at various specific temperatures – two chilled, two room temperature, two cold. “And she would only sign with a Sharpie pen," adds my source, “We were quite shocked in the office because they were such specific things and since we are a book festival we don’t normally get requests like that”. Fay Weldon is on form as usual and chats to me laughing about who should be the next Poet Laureate:
“Tony (Blair) doesn’t want to talk about the human side, he doesn’t want to be seen as soppy“ “There is a difference between men and women – between male poetry and female poetry. Female poetry tends to be touchy-feely and what people feel, and men are bad tempered and cross – but good. But different. So we probably need a male one and a female one. Then they could mate and we’d have lots of little poets running around – baby Laureates. What a vision!” Then turning serious, she adds that women authors are subdued by men in the field of literature: “A.S Byatt uses her initials so she is not doomed as a female writer,” she says. “George Eliot or A.L Kennedy, women do not want to be known as female authors. Men do not buy books by women, so if you have a female name you are doomed. Your name does it.” “I never thought of using my initials. When you are young you don’t even think about things like that, you just write books and people read them. Then little by little you begin to see how things work”. I give her a hug and said thanks for her time, and with my little note pad full I searched for a cup of tea. You’re not in Cannes now Katie, I thought sadly to myself.

Dani’s diary Dani is giving up smoking and not having any fun whatsoever in doing so
This week I set myself the hardest challenge I can think of – I have given up smoking. It has not been easy to say the least. In seven days I have had one cigarette, but I have also had, four fried egg sandwiches, two jacket potatoes, three bags of crisps, two bags of lollipops, two rather large bars of chocolate, one packet of cookies, four fingernails, seven nicotine patches, two crushed ice smoothies, no cups of tea, three packets of Love Hearts, two packets of Refreshers and one packet of Chewits (because Chewits do it), six cheese straws, two chocolate twists, one pizza and two packets of chewing gum. And in case of any confusion this is on top of my regular diet! So my lungs may be clean but it’s clear that the obesity and tooth decay will get to me eventually. I may live ten years longer but I will do so as some perpetually single toothless blob! Fantastic. To be perfectly honest I was quite surprised at myself when I put the first patch on. And by the end of that first day I was equally surprised that I had managed to complete the day without acting out my daydreams of ripping off heads and kicking walls. I comforted myself with the fact that I had only 24 more hours before all the nicotine was out of my system and therefore (allegedly) it would become easier. They had lied. The next morning I was in tears before I went to work (I was obviously suffering withdrawal symptoms).
“I may live ten years longer but I will do so as some perpetually single toothless blob” You would have thought that the next day would be easier, but it felt much the same. All the stupid patches had done was give me an itchy arm and a funky-smelling area on my shoulder. On day four I tried to hold off putting on a patch, and ended up rolling myself a fag, lighting it and throwing it away. Mainly because I felt like a naughty child – I wanted the ciggie but I couldn’t be arsed to face all the people who would then disappointedly ask me why. Five hours later I put a patch on. From that point on I decided perhaps it would work for me best if I allowed myself the occasional puff – I can’t give any definite reason why I thought that would be a good idea but it seems to have done the trick. It doesn’t quite so much feel like I have gone completely cold turkey (“What about the patches?” I hear you cry – well an itchy arm that smells vaguely of soggy fags doesn’t constitute as any form of help!). I am having very strange dreams, even more so than normal which I didn’t think possible. I need the toilet a lot more, I am drinking no tea which is odd because I always believed that if I did not get my quota of tea I would not be able to function. I look odd because I am breathing too deeply through my nose whenever I pass anyone smoking and I nip out of work for a lollipop break. But if I can get this far – most people can. But the most important thing to me is that I do not preach to smokers – which won’t happen because I could do with one right now!

Man power Where do the celeb boys sleep in Sussex? And who’s the best daddy? This week’s showbiz update is all about the male celebrity. Firstly to a hotel in Sussex who where a fair few male celebs have been staying over of late. The Felbridge Hotel and Spa, in East Grinstead – just a short drive up the M23, is fast becoming the celeb hotel of choice in West Sussex. In the last six months alone the hotel has played host to Dr Who actor David Tennant, Men Behaving Badly star Martin Clunes and just two weeks ago, Ant and Dec. The comedy duo, I’m told, shared a room (pictured) while attending a wedding nearby and made time to stop and chat to guests staying in the hotel and even made a two-year-old howl with laughter in reception!
Sunday super stars Stars of the new series of the Sunday Night Project, Justin Lee Collins and Alan Carr were also guests just last week – the pair stayed over whilst filming alongside opening celebrity guest presenters, Katie Price and Peter Andre. Katie looked sparkling on the show later having been spotted spending a couple of hours being preened by the Lanes Health and Beauty.
Daddy dearest Talking of the lovely Mr Andre, the Aussie singer has just been voted ‘Dad of the Year’ in a survey of UK mums. Peter, 35, has son Junior two, and daughter Princess Tiaamii, 11 months, with his wife Katie Price, 30. He is also step dad to Harvey, 6, from Jordan's relationship with footballer Dwight Yorke.
Peter, I’m told, is chuffed about topping the Daddy’s Sauce survey and says he is, “not even halfway there“ when it comes to having more kids. “For the last couple of years I've been saying that if there’s any kind of award, I could win it would be dad of the year,“ he says. “I’m over the moon.“
Street spot Spotted actor Steven Arnold who plays Ashley Peacock from Coronation Street at Marsha’s furniture store in Hove.

An online poker player gave up work after making more than $100,000. Marc Couper, 33, from Hove, recently bagged $27,125 in PRK.com's $100,000 Masters poker tournament. It brings the total he has won in the last five months to $95,000. Marc, who has less than two years' experience of online poker, is by trade a computer programmer with a mathematical background. Half of the top ten positions in the PKR.com competition were held by Brits. Sussex Police said they were carrying out increased drink and drugs tests on drivers during June. The force said there would be more roadside checks at all times of day and night in urban and rural areas. They said they were carrying out an average of 50 checks a day. So far this year 1,185 people have been arrested in Sussex for providing a positive breath test. Of those, 172 were following a crash. One in five of those arrested had a previous conviction for drink driving. City Car Club reported it had seen a 216 per cent increase in membership over the past few months. The extra 290 people take membership in the city to nearly 1,000. The club said the rise had coincided with the growing cost of fuel and the Government's decision to push up car taxes faster than inflation. Many who joined said they had ditched the second family car. Club CEO James Finlayson said: “Clearly the huge rise in the cost of motoring has made many motorists in Brighton realise they need to change the way they own and use a car. To keep up with demand, we are currrently looking at adding several new cars around the city.“ Twenty-seven thousand people took part in the London to Brighton Bike Ride. The ride on Sunday (15 June) attracted people from all over the country and raises money for the British Heart Foundation. It was the 28th year of the charity's involvement. Since 1980, more than 650,000 riders have taken part in the event and more than £40million has been raised to help fund pioneering research research, patient care and vital information.

Inspired to act A young woman who refused to give up when she was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour has inspired a call centre boss to attempt a triathlon. Meg Jones, now 22, was told there was nothing the NHS could do when her tumour was discovered when she was 19. The illness first came to light after she had a car crash and a series of mini fits. At first doctors thought it was epilepsy, then they diagnosed a brain tumour which they thought she'd had for five years. They said there was little treatment available until the cancer got worse. But Meg's family and friends managed to raise £50,000 for her to have pioneering treatment in the United States. The tumour was removed surgically with no need for chemotherapy or radiotherapy. A year since the operation, she is still completely cancer-free. Her mum Helen Bulbeck founded the charity Brainstrust to help others who cannot afford
treatment to travel to the States. Brainstrust also funds research and medical staff for the UK and is aiming to establish a pioneering treatment and research centre. On Sunday (22 June) Peter Krykant, who works with Meg's uncle Mark Shackelford at Inkfish in Brighton, will compete in the Mid Sussex Triathlon in aid of Brainstrust. Peter, 31, of Oriental Place, Brighton, met Meg for the first time last week. He said: "It is nice to see somebody who has been through such a difficult time and they're doing so well." Meg said: "I feel quite blessed and very fortunate I have such an amazing family who supported me and found this solution for me. "For me, the hope is that the terrible experience we had means turns into a positive thing

Showgirls paid a visit to a hospice to advertise this weekend's Feathers and Fireworks Ball. The glamorous performers dropped into the Martlets Hospice in Hove to bring a touch of Vegas to day patients and their families. The visit was arranged by Brighton-based entertainment company E3 Group, which is organising the ball this Saturday (21 June) at the Brighton Hilton Metropole. The ball marks the company's tenth birthday. It will raise money for the Martlets and Chestnut Tree House, the children's hospice near Arundel. Both hospices receive very little money from the Government and rely on the support of companies and individuals to continue providing care and support to the local community. For those who can't make it to the ball, there will be a firework finale on Brighton seafront at 10.30pm. Everyone is welcome to come along and there will be a collection for the two hospices.

What obesity crisis? World-famous psychologist Susie Orbach tells Phil Mills we should stop panicking
Weight off your mind? The fat crisis which classes even Hollywood’s George Clooney as obese is being exploited by industries out to make bigger profits, according to feminist psychologist Susie Orbach. The author of Fat is a Feminist Issue, who helped Princess Diana overcome bulimia, said obesity was not the problem that industries and governments would have us believe, but that food, pharmaceutical and diet companies were cashing in on the so-called epidemic. The Body Mass Index (BMI), for a start, was a sham. Speaking to psychotherapists at the Brighthelm Centre in Brighton, she said: “If we bear in mind that George Clooney, who I see as being absolutely gorgeous, is considered obese, not just overweight, but obese, by this ridiculous measure of the BMI, then I think you will realise immediately how spurious this BMI argument is.” She said the BMI was changed ten years ago and overnight 600,000 Americans woke up to find they were obese.
“It is not that I don’t think we’ve got an issue around obesity. I do. But it’s not worth the panic that is being created. “It’s something we really ought to think about in terms of who were the people on the International Obesity Task Force who revised the figures at which obesity and overweight were started. “They were from pharmaceutical companies and they stand to make a lot of money by making a category into a disease that they can then treat.” Known for her left-wing views, she said food manufacturing was another industry making money from the so-called obesity epidemic. She said: “There are very nefarious players involved. “The diet industry would be out of business if diets worked. They have to fail in order for there to be return customers.” Diets, she said, had a 95 per cent failure rate: “The industry is totally and utterly dependent on failure. If you only had to diet once it wouldn’t be in business. “So when we hear the word
obesity we need to think about the industries that profit from making people feel lousy about their body sizes. “It is a lousy situation, it is a game, part of what we are exporting all over the world.” She said the result was that people were binge eating when they weren’t hungry, starving themselves on diets or “kneeling over the toilet bowl having eaten stuff that they don’t want.”
She said: “We are in a really big mess about this and it can all be put at the door of the obesity crisis.” Prof Orbech was guest speaker at the launch of Psychotherapy Sussex, an association which began life in 1983 as the Brighton Association of Analytical Psychotherapists. The association, chaired by Bob Withers, brings psychotherapists under one roof to provide a referral base for doctors.

Preston perk
Susie Orbach
Love was in the air when Ordinary Boys’ Samuel Preston was spotted on a dinner date with a new girlfriend in Brighton. The couple ate at the Wagamama noodle restaurant in the North Laine, before strolling through the city streets. Preston, formerly married to Chantelle Houghton and in an on-off relationship with Camille Anzar, has apparently found a new love, Abbie. She’s a student who met Preston in Philadelphia where she is studying and he is writing music. One eye witness said: “Preston was holding the girl’s hand while doing a singing-in-the-rain skip along the pavement. “She was being pulled all over the place – I suppose you could call it a tug of love.” latest 7 13

Discipline for all? Joe Curtin takes a look at the contrary attitude Uefa takes to combating hooligans in Europe
Amnesty please The Brighton and Hove Amnesty International group, of which I am a member, is currently celebrating the release of Pedro Pablo Alvarez Ramos who had been held in a Cuban jail since 2003 for speaking out against the Cuban government. We have carried out a sustained letter-writing campaign and have recently learnt of Mr Ramos’s release. During the campaign for the release of Omar Deghayes, it was highlighted for the people of Brighton and Hove that terrible Omar Deghayes methods are used by governments around the world to quash any perceived threats to their power. However, our joy at Omar’s release should be tempered by the remembrance that in jails all around the world there are people that have been held in horrific conditions, tortured and given no access to legal representatives. It is easy to be dismissive of an action as simple as writing letters to prisoners or their captors but time and again we hear from released prisoners or those that have visited prisoners telling us about the hope it gives those unfairly detained and the pressure it puts on those holding them. Our group meets once a month to hear from speakers about human rights abuses around the world, to plan campaign actions and to write letters. We always welcome new members and details can be found on our website at brighton.amnesty.org.uk Will Hoyles, Brighton and Hove Amnesty International media officer
Thank you Brighton Dear Editor, Just a brief piece, once again bigging up the people and visitors to Brighton. I’ve just watched the BBC news, in which a 70-year-old man was knocked down crossing the road in the USA and no one, driver or pedestrian stopped to help. Three weeks ago I was knocked off my bike in North Street by a bus and was helped up and out of the road by so many kind people, who were passing pedestrians and staff from the nearby shops and bar. There is no way to thank all those kind souls but it would go some way if you could print this email, to give them my heartfelt thanks. Donna Comerford, Coombe Road, Brighton

After England’s incompetence in its ill-fated qualifying campaign we cast our gaze from afar at this year’s Euros with mixed emotions; a doubleedged sword this footballing summer. We witness the Dutch, Spanish and Portuguese getting results against credible opposition we crave to see England emulate. At the other end of the spectrum 157 German and Polish (do you think there’s a bit of history there somewhere?) supporters were arrested for fighting in Klagenfurt. Of the 157 arrests 143 were German. The violence flared after German fans used Nazi chants such as ‘Seig Heil’, yet Uefa have yet to even criticise the actions of these thugs, merely defending the methods used by the Austrian police. It will be interesting to see how they react subsequently.. It is not without reason to consider an anti-English bias in European football’s governing body. After the Heysel tragedy English clubs were banned from European competition for five years. This punishment forced English football, both the fans and the authorities to focus on the hooliganism problem, the so-called ‘English disease’. However there have been numerous occasions where Italian and Turkish fans, to name but two, have been involved in sickening acts of violence with barely a murmur from Uefa. This lack of censure can only encourage the scenes we witnessed in Austria. Indeed, the idiot minority within Spanish football that threw disgusting monkey chants at England’s black players brought only a ‘punishment’ of a paltry £400 to the Spanish FA. What kind of message does this send that Uefa is serious in clamping down on the ugly side of the beautiful game? It feels a though if a non-English fan stabs someone Uefa tuts and turns away, and if an England fan slips on a comedy banana skin at Wembley then England are threatened with bans.
I am not for one moment justifying the behaviour of English hooligans – it is clearly indefensible – however we should congratulate ourselves that the past ten years or so has seen a huge improvement in behaviour. Racism and violence are largely things of the past in English football. There is a lot to criticise our FA for, however they rightly deserve praise, along with the average football fan, that these elements are no longer fashionable. Like the mullet this behaviour belongs strictly in the past. English football has evolved, I hope, although we’re not there to test this theory. If not then let’s have a whip round – what’s 400 quid? With England taking on New Zealand, I have an idea to counter the All Blacks’ haka routine. After the Kiwis have performed the traditional Maori war dance, England should break out into a Morris dance. The sight of 15 rugby players prancing around, slapping each other with hankies would surely unnerve the antipodean rugby giants. It’d freak me out anyway…

Male bulimia A man whose eating disorder overshadowed his teenage years is setting up a website to help others. At the worst points of his bulimia, Sam Thomas was five and a half stone. Now 22, he has overcome the problems that led to him making himself sick at the age of 14. The website Men Get Eating Disorders Too will encourage men – such as John Prescott – to share their stories and offer peer support. Sam, of London Road, Brighton, said: “There is a crying need for it. “The aim is to raise awareness of eating disorders in men so men can seek support. “I want to have a forum so male users can connect with other men so it isn't so isolating and secretive." Sam said the reasons why men developed eating disorders were very different from women. "My personal experience was it had nothing to do with weight or body image. It was more to do with homophobic bullying at school. “Because of the isolation and depression I ended up bingeing which
progressed to making myself sick.“ Ten per cent of people diagnosed with eating disorders are men, but Sam believes the true figures are higher because men are reluctant to seek help. He said John Prescott’s admission he suffered from bulimia had helped spread a message that all kinds of men can suffer from eating disorders. Sam is looking for volunteers, male or female, to help create, develop and promote the site and put together funding bids. He is particularly looking for other men to share their stories.

Councillors are organising a public meeting to discuss concerns about Falmer School being turned into a city academy. Brighton and Hove City Council's Green Group are fearful that allowing a private company to sponsor the Moulsecoomb school could mean fewer choices for parents and allow the school to veer dangerously away from the national curriculum. Consultation over the plans is open until 4 July. Businessman Rod Aldridge, former chairman of the Capita Group, is leading the bid and the school, which is near to the proposed Brighton and Hove Albion football stadium, would have a sports and entrepreneurship specialism.
Council scheme encourages reporting of drug crime Residents concerned about possible drugs activity in their neighbourhood are being urged to report it. Thousands of reporting cards have been distributed across the city to encourage residents to raise concerns about drug-related crime and antisocial behaviour. The initiative is being organised by Brighton and Hove City Council’s Communities Against Drugs team, which works with local neighbourhoods to tackle and prevent drug problems, in partnership with the police. The Communities Against Drugs Team stress the first point of call to report drugs problems should be the police – but the reporting cards are an alternative for those who may be reluctant to do so. Recently the team has been out and about on the streets with Police Community Support Officers and posters to highlight the campaign, answer residents’ queries and break down some of the barriers to reporting crime. Cards have been sent to households in a number of different areas of the city, including Brunswick, Regency, Tarner, Queen’s Park and the Bristol Estate, and the scheme is proving popular with residents. The reporting cards are designed to encourage people who might not normally report drug-related crime, to think about how it might be affecting other local residents in the area, such as young people or older neighbours. Councillor Geofffrey Theobald, the council’s cabinet member for environment, said: “We’ve had a positive response from residents and services in the areas where we have been running the scheme, along with strong support from the police.”
“We’ve had a positive response from residents and services in the areas”
Education
No, to Academy
Tough on drugs
If given the go-ahead, the school would remain open while building work is carried out and the Academy would be officially launched in 2010. Councillor Ben Duncan, the Green’s prospective parliamentary candidate for Brighton Kemptown, said: “The biggest concern is the loss of a community school. The existing Falmer High School will close and the new academy will open, which will not be operated by the local authority. “The local authority admission system will force children from Moulsecoomb. Coldean and surrounding areas to go to what is effectively an independent school, albeit a free one.“ Coun Duncan said there were worries that children will special educational needs could lose out. At the moment, more than half of Falmer’s pupils have SEN and the school is home to the Swan Centre, a unit for pupils from across Brighton and Hove who have special needs. Speakers at the meeting will include Linda Newman, who attended Falmer and is the former president of the University and College Union, Rachel Fryer, the Green representative on the city council’s children and young people’s trust board, and a third person from the Anti Academies Alliance. Public meeting, Learning Development Centre, Hodshrove Lane, Moulsecoomb, Mon 30 June, 7.30–9pm.
To report an incident, residents can just fill in the details of the problem and the impact it is having on the neighbourhood, and send the reporting card back to Communities Against Drugs via a freepost return address. Anyone who has not received a card and has concerns about drugs can ring Crimestoppers in confidence on 0800 555 111 or the police on 0845 6070999.

COVERSTORY
Ring of diamonds Bespoke jewellers Ring design and make jewellery tailored to the individual, as well as ensuring that all their gemstones are ethically sourced Nowadays the public are asking (and quite rightly so) about where precious stones are sourced. With the movie Blood Diamond and demonstrations by the stars at last year’s Oscars, consumers are now wondering if a girl’s best friend may be someone else’s worst enemy. Ring is a bespoke jewellers in the heart of Brighton’s lanes that takes the issue of conflict gemstones very seriously. At Ring all the jewellery is new and is made either especially for the customer to their design, or for stock.
This means that as there is no second-hand jewellery, the origin of the stones can be traced, thus ensuring the stones are conflict-free. To make our customers feel even more secure, Ring has just launched a range of diamond engagement rings that have accompanying documentation to reassure clients that the diamond they have purchased is conflict-free. Ring only stock ethically-sourced stones, but these diamonds will actually have a ‘certificate of origin’ to prove where they were mined, cut, and polished. Crossreferenced with this will be a GIA certificate (the most recognised gem grading laboratory in the world). This means customers will get a precise grade of their diamond. Lastly, the diamonds will have a laser-etched serial number on their girdle (edge) only visible through a huge magnification to prove the certificate matches the diamond. Ring specialises in diamond engagement rings and wedding bands.
Although this contemporary jewellers stocks a vast range of jewellery in its windows, the emphasis is on designing and making for the individual. Having the emphasis on design means customers can get exactly what they want instead of being limited by what is in the window. The process can be as simple as a white gold ring from the window being remade in platinum, or as intricate as your own idea being made from scratch. The shop has many visual tools to help you picture your final design. All of the design consultations at Ring are free of charge and the relaxed atmosphere means that customers are welcome to go away with a quote to think about the design.

Model city Sandra Omo gives guidance to new models on the benefit of the natural look The whole of my Sunday was spent flipping through at least fifty portfolios in order to find new faces to front the adverts for this trendy salon I have modelled for so many times that the salon’s name has become a synonym for my face. I have many other commitments these days so it was time to put up new faces that are not associated with any other adverts or titles. As a result, the casting call was for models with a fresh face but with experience as well. When the management informed me, I knew it was going to be a fun experience as there is nothing more interesting than seeing people go through what you are accustomed to, from another angle. When the casting began, I found myself entangled in a role I did not expect to take up so that my time was not spent only on selecting the campaign models, but also on a portfolio lecture. One hour into the casting, it dawned on us that we had not seen a portfolio with a natural photo – difficult to believe, but true. This made the task even more difficult for us as we had to imagine what each girl looked like without make-up. As the next set of models presented their books, the situation remained the same; so we began to ask them for natural photos and their responses were amazing, if not surprising. Some did not know what we meant by natural photos; there were those who knew but did not know they were supposed to have one in their book, while the majority of the few who had one had had them digitally retouched. This is considered more unnatural than a picture where you are wearing all the make-up on earth.
“Judges are looking to see your real beauty... in order to envisage what can be created” At the end of the casting, before announcing the girls that were selected, I had a chat with the models about how important a natural/ no make-up photo is to a model’s portfolio. This is the only photo that shows the strength of your features as a model. I need to say also that it’s the only unique photo you can ever lay your hands on as every other pictures represents or creates someone else’s idea – adopted by others. No matter how beautiful or flattering a particular photo in your book is, I dare you to check ten other books and by the time you reach the fifth one, you would have found a similar, if not a better version of the photo. Most importantly, judges at casting are looking to see your real beauty/looks in order to envisage what can be created with your looks and to see if you fit the idea of the job at hand; believe me, only your natural photo can tell them this. Having none means reducing your chances of being selected for jobs. Also, you are passing the message that you are less confident and experienced than the model who has a natural picture in her book because experience should have taught you that you need it, and confidence wouldn’t mind you carrying it about. Therefore, the next time you walk into a casting without a natural closeup picture of your face in your book, you know the exact statement you are making: lack of confidence and experience. This gets you no job, and modelling is no fun without jobs.

Melina Greenfield looks at how meta-medicine can find the root cause of illnesses
TUESDAY 17
latest
Imagine an understanding of illnesses so in-depth that you find out the root cause of the problem. Instead of laying the blame on lifestyle, diet, lack of exercise or destiny, a new movement claims there is another way to understand what is happening to you and why. Meta-medicine bases itself firmly in a mind-body approach, and believes certain traumas are responsible for making us ill. It is not a way of treating illness. Rather it offers an alternative opportunity for a diagnosis for those who feel their needs have not been met by conventional medicine. Patients are then encouraged to seek help elsewhere, perhaps through complementary therapies, while metamedicine is recommended as an extra tool for people working in alternative medicine to acquire so they can use it in their clinics. Practitioners of meta-medicine say that when a person is diagnosed with a disease a biological conflict has occurred before. This conflict could be an emotional trauma, shock or other dramatic experience against which the body has reacted to cause symptoms of illness, such as diabetes, asthma, migraine or cancer. Instead of just linking illnesses to general stress, meta-medicine claims to know what illnesses are caused by what kinds of stress. For example, a person with eczema is told the roots of their condition may be in some form of separation anxiety, where the skin is literally reacting from being taken away from someone or something else. This might sound far-fetched. But metamedicine is a growing movement that has many followers in Sussex. The general principle is an old one – that physical and emotional health are closely linked. Practitioners of meta-medicine go even further than this mindbody connection, they also believe in a 'mind-body-organ-social' connection. They say that certain areas of the brain are linked very accurately to corresponding organs within the body, and particular areas of the brain are affected by different types of social trauma. They claim to be able to see the link through the brain and body and understand the reasons of why the illness has happened. Some argue that there is medical proof behind this alternative practice because biological conflict can be seen on CT images from a brain scan and on the organs. Health therapists can find out more at a Basics of meta-medicine Workshop at The Integral Clinic, 2 Wilbury Crescent, Hove, Tues 24 June, 6.30–8pm. Place are free to therapists who register.

Bare cheek Ask MC Skat Kat Brian Mitchell and Joseph Nixon’s thoroughly scurrilous Brighton column
Hove, factually Five more facts you probably didn’t know about fantabulous Hove 1) One story included in the original draft of Ray Bradbury’s The Illustrated Man featured a futuristic Co-op on Portland Road where people could purchase their innermost desires, but still couldn’t find anything they could actually eat. 2) In July 1981, all-out gang warfare on Hove seafront between the Tetley tea men, the KP friars, The Weetabix skinheads, the Homepride boys and the Rumbelows family resulted in 12 charges of aggravated assault, nine cases of GBH, two deaths and £594,000 worth of damages. 3) Hove’s official anthem is the theme tune to Shelley. 4) Freemen of the borough of Aldrington have included Tony Danza, Colin Welland, HR Pufnstuf, Rosemary Clooney, Jasper the Grasper, Simon Wilkie, the Jabberwock, that faceless nun from the Jemima Shore mystery Quiet as a Nun, and Whigfield. 5) Hangleton Manor’s staff of 50 cooks, maids, and butlers are all actually the same man: Derek Griffiths from Film Fun.

Astral Angi ★Finding truth in the stars★
The celluloid feline, who reached number two in the charts in February 1990 with his Paula Abdul duet ‘Opposites Attract’, solves your problems Dear MC Skat Kat, I am a short, bespectacled, teetotal, somewhat timid librarian, who enjoys classical music, embroidery, and working as a scoutmaster. Across the street from me lives a gigantic, tattooed, muscular Hell’s Angel, who rides a huge Harley Davidson, plays heavy metal at all hours and seems to spend most of his time in his front yard drunkenly hurling empty vodka bottles into the air and firing at them with a shotgun. I still live with my parents, and am quite lonely, so lately I’ve been considering knocking on his door and asking if he fancies forging some kind of relationship with me – maybe just friendship, maybe something a little more. Should I do it? Colin Arthurs, Patcham

MC Skat Kat sez: Yo Colin! Listen man, I was a bit unsure about how to answer your query, so I went back and consulted the lyrics to my number two smash hit with Paula Abdul real carefully. Well dude, what they said quite unequivocally was that opposites attract – always. No two ways about it. So my advice is go round and knock on that door right now. If you don’t you’ll regret it forever. C’mon my man – get to it.
MC Skat Kat
MC Skat Kat sez: Yo Mr A! I’m baffled as to how this could have occurred. Could it be that there’s a flaw in my ‘opposites attract’ philosophy of the universe? Hmmm. I’ll have to look into this. In the meantime I’ll be sending a copy of my 1991 album “The Adventures of MC Skat Kat and the Stray Mob” to Colin’s hospital bed in the hopes that it can rouse him from his coma. Keep those letters rollin’ in, homies, Word!

ANDREW KAY’S FOOD&DRINK
Babylon boys Andrew Kay entertains his nephews in luxury at One Aldwych in the heart of London Over the years I have done my fair share of baby-sitting but seldom for family as they live so far away. So when my brother asked if I would look after my 13 and ten-year-old nephews for the weekend I jumped at the chance. Fortunately I was in a position to take advantage of a luxurious offer at one of the West End’s most beautiful hotels, One Aldwych. We contrived to keep it a secret from the boys until the last moment, so to see their faces when they walked into our fabulous suite was worth its weight in gold. One Aldwych is at one The Aldwych, no surprise there, but a wealth of surprises inside. The building is very grand, formerly a bank if I remember well. The main door opens into a stunning cocktail bar and reception, it’s here that you get the first hint of the level of style: huge sculptures, witty artworks – all originals – it’s like a gallery and it doesn’t stop there. There’s art on every landing, every corridor and in every room. David was particularly taken with a life-sized dog made from pages of The Beano.
‘‘One Aldwych gave me and the boys a fat and creamy slice of indulgent luxury that left a lasting impression I am confident we will never forget’’ We had a spectacular and spacious suite of rooms on the first floor, a huge double for me, a large twin room for the boys, each with large bathrooms fitted out with marble and packed with luxury REN toiletries, huge towels and bathrobes and even TVs, yes telly in the bathroom. In our adjoining hallway we had our own kitchen area, full size refrigerator and cupboards with cutlery, crockery and glassware. But I was holding back, not showing them the piéce de résistance that was our private sitting room, a large curved and high ceiling space overlooking the theatres outside. We had a sofa and armchairs, a dining table, a desk and a huge Bang and Olufsen television, in fact, Bang and Olufsen TVs everywhere including our bedrooms. On the wall there was an epic painting, two metres square, there were exotic flowers, orchids and platters of fruits in stylish rows. Gabriel stood in dumbstruck silence. Within thirty minutes though we had settled in and the boys had made themselves more than comfortable. It is amazing how relaxing real luxury is when it is handled with such charm and discretion by the staff. Nothing was too much trouble, a laptop arrived so that the boys could email their mum, fruit cocktails came from room service, appropriate books were at the bedside, the concierge had a library of dvds that we could watch… If you are getting a sense of Hotel Babylon then you are not wrong and that is exactly what the boys thought. They took to it with great ease too, although they did get overexcited by the mirrored lifts with lights that constantly change colour, yellow one trip, pink the next…
If you would like to comment on this story please email andrew@thelatest.co.uk
That afternoon we did a show and then, returning to the hotel, took advantage of the swimming pool in the health club. Now hotel pools tend to be too small and too hot, but this was great, the right temperature and long enough, 18 metres, to swim proper laps. The big surprise was that underwater you could hear music, but not above. It was Vivaldi, which I loved but I think the boys would have preferred Muse – picky picky. Underwater sound and they want more! There was no time to use the sauna or steam room and the state-of-the-art gymnasium would have to wait too. That night we were joined by my glamourous friend Monica for dinner in Axis, the hotel’s fine dining room. We left the hotel, walked along the block and then back in, where two flights of wide curving stone stairs led us into a toweringly high dining room. Elegant gilt branches reached up two storeys in front of a vast mural. Within minutes a team of waiters, managers, maitre d’s and sommeliers were attending to our needs. The boys ate simply but it was not an issue, the chef would happily prepare a simple meal of steak for them, and he did – with wonderful chips too. Monica and I were more exotic in our choices and chose from the à la carte menu. My scallops were excellent, served with samphire and cockles, both favourites of mine. Monica had a main course of pork which she devoured while moaning with delight. I had roast veal and veal sweetbreads, truly divine and all so beautifully presented. The food was exquisitely prepared and plated but it was also satisfying. In a moment of rare uncle-ish behaviour I ordered some green vegetables for the boys, which they ate without question. As the only one drinking, I asked the sommelier to chose me a glass of white and a glass of red, although I did start with a fairly stiff gin and tonic. He produced two delicious wines that worked with my choices and I ordered a second glass of the red when the cheese arrived. The poor boys had to wait while the two of us ate the excellent cheese but eventually their steamed syrup sponges arrived and hit the right spot. Monica had a confection of coffee that she loved, declaring it to have an intense coffee bean flavour, and I fell in love with a banana and peanut parfait that did exactly what I wanted it to. Coffee was equally good and the boys were so enthralled by the level of sophistication that they did not become bored or fidgety. The staff were utterly charming, nothing was too much trouble and finally we strolled back outside and escorted Monica to her car before availing ourselves of a film from the concierge and returning to the suite. Next morning we woke and went down to breakfast in Indigo, their other restaurant. Here David indulged in American pancakes and maple syrup, Gabriel bacon and egg and me the full English with my eggs poached. The orange juice was freshly squeezed, the jam and marmalade home-made and the honey a slice of oozing comb on a plate. Nothing was left to chance, nothing was second best and it was a hard decision whether to go sightseeing or simply lounge around in luxury at the hotel. One Aldwych gave me and the boys a fat and creamy slice of indulgent luxury that left a lasting impression which I am confident we will never forget. Weekend nights from £190 plus VAT, room only, this summer at One Aldwych. Reservations call 020 7300 0500, reservations@onealdwych.com, www.onealdwych.com

Under review Here’s our round up of recent local shows, plus there’s oodles of reviews online at www.latest7.co.uk Kinky Friedman “I’m too young for Medicare and too old for women to care,” quips Kinky Friedman, country musician, author, and all-round raconteur. But we cared. This intimate gig downstairs at the Komedia had Kinky and his long-time pals and band, Jewford and Ratso, playing favourites from his back catalogue, as well as an extract from his last book, You Can Lead a Politician to Water, But You Can’t Make Him Think. One of those performers that brings you into their sitting room and feeds you whiskey with their show, Kinky is welcome back any time. Komedia, 5 June ✌✌✌✌✌ Victoria Nangle
The Sleeping Beauty on Ice The finest evidence that small is beautiful was seen in Brighton’s prettiest theatre when The Imperial Ice Stars took to the stage. This is the smallest venue that they will play but I fail to see how they could better their performance. The sets and costumes looked great, the skating was impeccable, not one visible mistake, and the whole event made clear narrative sense. The principals are both athletes and artistes but special praise should go to Ilya Klimkin whose enthusiastic and characterful performance as Calabutte proved him both a great skater and actor. Praise too for exciting and complex choreography, pulled off on an ice matchbox. Theatre Royal Brighton, 2 June ✌✌✌✌✌ Andrew Kay
The Wedding Present The ferocity of David Gedge’s veteran indie rock band’s fanbase is the stuff of legend, as tonight’s moshpit made up of fortysomething men proves. An interesting mix of old and new material and even the odd Cinerama tune leaves an uneven feeling. Classics from their 1987 debut George Best and the gloriously barnstorming ‘Brassneck’ are undeniable highlights, though new record El Rey, the reason for tonight’s show, dominates proceedings a little too much. A good record, but not a great one, unsurprisingly this makes for a good show and not a great one. Corn Exchange, 30 May ✌✌✌ Nick Aldwinckle
Comic Boom With some highlights that forcibly made me laugh despite myself, and lowlights that didn’t seem quite ready for the Komedia stage yet, this night left its audience grinning from ear to ear. The magnificent Pappy’s Fun Club headlined, and were brilliant and original in equal measure – singing bigoted songs from a truly unfair mother nature, demo’ing highlights from the material they just couldn’t fit into the show, and much more too bizarre and mirthsome to list. The evening’s approach to its headliners set the scene with the rising star that is Brian Gittens, whose surreal humour had me screaming with laughter despite myself. Other good notes included Chris Pacey and Laura Mugridge. Komedia, 29 May ✌✌✌✌ Victoria Nangle
Pappy’s Fun Club
HOT REVIEW OF THE WEEK Pigeon Detectives A sold-out gig equalled a packed crowd as the band emerged to a huge slice of classic cheese rock: ‘Eye of the Tiger’, then we’re off with ‘I knew I loved you’. Frontman Matt Bowman’s frenetic energy got the crowd up and bouncing as he sprinted up and down the stage, knocking over drum kits and playing lasso with his mic. Tracks from the new album were confidently dropped in with hits from the last, leaving little doubt that the boys from Leeds are swaggering all the way to the top. The Dome, 3 June

Charlie’s Greenhouse Effect Frankly, covers bands are not my cup of tea but the fantastically named Charlie’s Greenhouse Effect pushed the boat out with a selection of not-so-obvious showboaty-type tunes including ‘Kiss’, ‘Le Freak’ ‘Long Train Runnin’ and ‘Rapture’. Featuring members of Los Albertos, the Don Bradmans and She Said, and fronted by diva-like Tracy-Jane Sullivan, the band are relatively new to the scene, and perhaps not surprisingly they were let down by a poor sound. But looking beyond that they rocked the joint with a series of uplifting, mainly funk tunes, with a big band sound, that had the place rocking and a rolling by the end. Joogleberry Playhouse, 6 June ✌✌✌✌ Julie Andrews

Your votes please The Eurovision Song Contest is celebrated in Eurobeat at The Theatre Royal Brighton After yet another serious drubbing in the Eurovision Song Contest, one has to wonder why Britain still plays the game. Why bother, except of course that internationally it would be viewed as the UK throwing its toys out of the pram in a major way. But with worldwide TV audiences of 150 million, Eurovision is everyone’s secret guilty pleasure. Eurobeat offers audiences the chance at last to leap out of the closet and gives the UK a genuine opportunity to win Europe’s greatest cultural collaboration once more! And even the face of Eurovision, Terry Wogan, will be there to whip the crowd into a frenzy (well, he’ll be on screen, actually – does that count?). In 2003, songwriter and British passport holder Craig Christie was denied the chance to write an entry for the Eurovision Song Contest because he lives in Australia. Hurt to the core, he was inspired to go one better and write a whole musical on the subject. And so, Eurobeat was then born. Audience members are each allocated one of the ten competing countries as they enter the theatre and, as with Eurovision, the audience votes for their favourite contestants via text message. Eurobeat has been hailed as the first interactive musical and, because every performance can have a different winner, both the audience and performers are kept in suspense. Do the cast get competitive? Of course they do! And remember, as with Eurovision you cannot vote for your own country but there is nothing to stop you from bribing others to! Former Olympic pole-vaulting champion, lifestyle programme hostess and cabaret performer Boyka (Mel Giedroyc) and children’s TV presenter Sergei (Les Dennis) host the competition held in sunny, safe, secure Sarajevo. One after another the contestants do all that they can to win the love and the votes of the audience (some of them will stop at nothing) and, whilst the votes are being tallied, marvel at the half-time entertainment spectacular as Boyka captivates the audience with her moving rendition of ‘I’m Sarajevo…Taste Me!’ Whether you’re in love with Lulu and Lordi, bonkers for Bucks Fizz and Brotherhood of Man or simply delirious for Dana International (or just don’t get how Serbia won in 2007), Eurobeat can’t fail to win your vote. Eurobeat, Theatre Royal Brighton, Mon 28 July–Sat 2 Aug, Mon-Thu eves 7.45pm, Fri and Sat 5.30 and 8pm. Box Office 08700 606650 (bkg fee). Groups Hotline 08700 606617. Access Bookings 0871 297 5477 (bkg fee). Tickets £15.50–£25.50. www.theambassadors.com/theatreroyal

The Edge of Love + Q & A (15) Dir: John Maybury Dylan Thomas gets a charming makeover in this period effort. Eschewing a traditional biopic, this is an intelligent and emotionally engaging look at the collision between the Bohemian underworld of war-torn London and the intimate complexities of two couples whose lives and loves become dangerously intertwined. Keira Knightley, Cillian Murphy and Sienna Miller star alongside the excellent Matthew Rhys as Thomas, who loves both women. Broken promises, passion, the shadow of war and the threat of death push the protagonists to the edge of love. Followed on Sunday 22 June at 6pm by a Q&A via satellite with director John Maybury.

Monster marvel
Director Louis Leterrier talks to Latest 7 about his newly revamped summer blockbuster The Incredible Hulk This Hulk looks a lot different than the Ang Lee Hulk. How long did it take to come up with the different design? The design started before I was hired by Marvel. Also, there were models from the comic books that you refer to, those in the last ten years, where Hulk has evolved. He's less pudgy and he's more humanlike. He looks more like a super human, a perfect human. I decided to make him a little darker in terms of the skin just because in the daylight it doesn't look that good. What about the new villain The Abomination? The Abomination I started in France with a different kind of design. I wanted to update the look. He's a soldier who eventually becomes this thing. He didn't fall into a – like in The Fly – a teleportation thing with a fish. So I needed to justify why he would become like this. His look was an evolution. We were searching for ideas and Avi Arad said, “What about the bones and stuff?“ I thought that was a great idea and so the design that was more of an exoskeleton became more of an endoskeleton based on comic design.
How was it dealing with the fanbase and the creative talent at Marvel? It actually helps me. I'm not an idiot savant who knows all these comic books by heart, but there are a couple of these in the Marvel vault that I can ask, “Give me a name for the base“ and they'll know that. Also you can be sure that here and there you're going to make a faux pas that's going to offend fans, so these guys are our safeguard for not doing that.
How did you decide to cast Ed Norton? He was tough to convince. He'd been up for other superhero movies before and said he always turns them down. Although, he always regrets having enough with Spider Man. He said, “That's the one I wanted.“ So this one we had to come back to him a few times and eventually he came back and said, “Yeah, actually I see the vision.“
How did you rationalise a newly imagined film version of the Hulk? Nowadays comic book fans and TV watching people, you give them two images and they understand the origin. It was very important to understand that in the beginning and for the longest time we scratched our heads and then all together we came up with the idea of doing this credit sequence which would expose everything that you needed to know. How does your version of the Hulk differ from previous incarnations? In this movie he gets to Hulk out a few times

A quick look at this week’s releases Superhero Movie (12A) Dir: Craig Mazin It’s mad to think that firstly, the king of the spoof, Leslie Nielsen, is 82 now and still making films, and secondly, that he hasn’t ditched this silly franchise yet. You know the schtick: broad parodies of the most popular films of the moment (this time superherorelated), fart gags, Pamela Anderson or Carmen Electra’s cleavage. Love these films or hate them, looks like they’re not going away anytime soon. Showing at Cineworld
and he gets to learn things along the way, meeting people, different characters and opponents. That's why in the beginning he's very primal in his way of fighting, but once he fights Abomination – at the end – he has learned new tricks So his evolution is quite important.
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 fourth Indy movie is here!

There’s a strong supernatural element and this time round the Soviets are the baddies, as opposed to the traditional Nazis. Joining the starstudded franchise for this adventure-packed jaunt are Transformers hot property Shia LaBoeuf as rebellious sidekick, Ray Winstone as rival adventurer, Cate Blanchett as the Russian villain and small roles for Brits John Hurt and Jim Broadbent.

The Incredible Hulk (12A) Dir: Louis Leterrier Taking a cue from that other big Marvel blockbuster, Iron Man, this lumbering sequel takes an acclaimed cast (Edward Norton as the not-so-jolly green giant, Tim Roth as nemesis The Abomination and Liv Tyler as love interest Betty Ross) and transplants these thesps to a big, fun monster of a film. A re-imagining of The Hulk’s origin presented in a more action-packed style than Ang Lee’s meditative, psychoanalytical first film, this follows scientist Bruce Banner as an experiment goes wrong, turning him into a big green ball of rage. Though Lee’s artsy first film was a critical success, it didn’t make quite as many millions as hoped, so this time round, the action’s dumbed-down for maximum financial clout. 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. Downey Jr’s businessman is nearly offed in Afghanistan by his rival. Forced to use his scientific genius to both stay alive and escape from his captors, he creates a metal suit of electronic armour and Iron Man is born. Co-starring Jeff Bridges and Gwyneth Paltrow, the first blockbuster of the summer lands the first blow. 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.

A run for your money Hundreds of local children are getting ready for a three-kilometre fun run in Preston Park Fingers crossed that the sun will shine on Brighton’s Preston Park on Saturday 28 June. That’s the day hundreds of local youngsters and their families will be taking part in a three-kilometre fun run to raise money for The Children’s Trust. The Preston Park fun run kicks off at 11am. It’s one of a number of ‘Run for the Children’ events taking place across the UK this summer. The event will offer a chance for families to share their love of running and help a national children’s charity at the same time, said Jennifer Durlston-Powell, a spokeswoman for the Preston Park event. “Our run will be looping around lots of other fun stuff, from athletics to yoga, and will include an urban playground, a skipping event, cycling, ice skating and dance,” she said. “This really will be a great kids’ event. And with no age or time limit, even the slowest tortoise can enjoy the run and earn a medal.” Free taster sessions in over 30 different activities and sports will be on offer. Special displays and performances from the world-famous Team Extreme BMX-ers and Brighton’s Urban Playground will also take place during the day. All the money raised will go to The Children’s Trust, which provides help and support for children who have multiple disabilities due to brain damage. “So even if your boring great-gran refuses to run, she can still dig deep and support your efforts”, said Jennifer. ‘Run for the Children’ was founded in 2003 and, since its launch, over 25,000 children and parents have taken part in hundreds of fun runs up and down the country. A survey of participants revealed that 85 per cent said taking part in a charity fun-run had encouraged them to lead a healthier lifestyle. ‘Run for the Children’ has big ambitions: it hopes to get one million people taking part in fun runs across the UK by 2012. Visitors to the Preston Park event can also enjoy some of the quieter features that the park has to offer. Did you know, for example, that it’s home to one of the biggest city-owned rock gardens in Britain? Those who need a rest after their charity fun-running can find sanctuary in the park’s two cafés, while those with still more energy to burn can visit the tennis courts or the playground for some extra exercise. Fun-run entry: children 4-15 years £4, adults £6, family saver (two adults and three children) £18. To register, visit the website at: www.runforthechildren.co.uk. To volunteer at this or future fun-runs, email volunteer@runforthechildren.co.uk

When most Sussex residents hear the name Hove, they’re more likely to think of Regency promenades than a music festival on an idyllic island off the southern coast of Norway. Well most locals, that is, except a few Brightonbased bands heading off to the land of the midnight sun next week for the second annual Hove Festival on the small island of Tromøya. The diverse five-day event is headlined by Beck, The Raconteurs, Jay-Z, Panic at the Disco and In Flames, giving some idea of the broad mix of indie, rock, metal and hip-hop on offer. With music spread over four stages, there’s also a spoken word tent, theatre and cinema, as well as eco-friendly stalls, keeping with the green, zero carbon emissions focus of the festival. Highlights include genre-splicing rap/rock singer-songwriter Santogold, Ivy League indie kids Vampire Weekend and the reformed cult post-hardcore heroes Rival Schools. Representing Brighton and the other Hove are big haired popstrels The Kooks, angular mathrockers Foals and grungy boy-girl rockers Blood Red Shoes, who we caught up with in-between touring for debut album Box of Secrets, back home in Brighton. Latest Seven: How’s the tour been? Blood Red Shoes, Laura-Mary: “I feel like my brain isn’t functioning properly. We’ve toured Japan, Germany, Holland, Ireland, everywhere. These were our biggest shows, all in a row. We met Dave Grohl, who’s really nice.” Steven: “It’s been good to play and the crowd already know our songs. We’ve been playing them for ages. It feels like we’ve finished touring this record even though it’s only been out since April! We’re already planning our next album.” LS: Which acts would you like to see at Hove? BRS, Steven: “Jay-Z.

deal because Glastonbury got someone who is black and isn’t a guitar band. He’s far more interesting than The Verve. We’re glad Foals are playing Hove. We were friends with them before they got huge. They’re a good band.” LS: The album’s less raw than earlier material. Why is this? BRS, Steven: “The album’s heavier than our earlier music, exactly how we wanted it to be.” Laura-Mary: “It wasn’t deliberately trashy. It’s just that we weren’t good at playing our instruments and the recording wasn’t so good before!” Steven: “We’ve been trying to make the album sound this way since day one. People say the other stuff’s rawer and this is more processed, but actually there was much less messing around producing the album than our demos. The record is just us playing really loud.” LS: Is your song ‘It’s Getting Boring By the Sea’ about Brighton? BRS, Steven: “It’s a reaction to a pub-rock clique we know. We wrote a few catchier songs and were told we weren’t ‘rock’ enough. So we wrote our poppiest song so far about those guys. It’s about that restricted mentality. It led to our record deal, so it worked well as a ‘f*ck you!’” LS: What do you like and dislike about Brighton? BRS, Laura-Mary: “In the summer, you wake up and it’s beautiful with the sea and everything. It’s relaxing and you feel free. I didn’t feel like that when I lived in London. A downpoint is that it’s not very big and you get tired of walking the same roads and going to the same places.” Steven: “There’s so much creative activity going on all around, it’s a good place to get on with what you do.” The Hove Festival, 23-27 June, Norway. www.hovefestival.com

STAND-UP COMEDY
A laughing matter
Write club
Victoria Nangle is finding it extremely difficult to pick her favourite comic – and with good reason Someone asked me the other day who my favourite comic was. That stumped me. It’s like trying to pick your favourite album of all time or number one book. It wasn’t even someone I knew that well, not withstanding their kindly gesture of a shared cab, and next thing I know I’m scratching my head going: “Jim Jeffries – no, Eddie Izzard, – no, Tommy Tiernan…” I’m still no closer to knowing. And with no personal point of reference they were completely unable to help me in my quest. Like the Nick Hornby book High Fidelity says, there’s a lot of thought to be put into a top ten. Even more into a number one. When I’m feeling quiet I love the happiness brought to me by Josie Long. When I’m boisterous there’s nothing better than a large dollop of Brendan Burns. When in a thoughtful place I like to potter along to a night of Robin Ince. There’s a comic for all seasons and all moods, so how can you possibly pick a favourite? Plus, stand-up comedians rarely stand still in their material, so you may find that within the turnaround of a touring year someone has gone from faux-mild-mannered thought-provoking comic to gently-spoken shockcomedian. All it takes is a row with your bessie mate. This is a good thing, it’s called personal and artistic development, and those that don’t do it quickly fall into a category all of their own, generally termed as ‘stale’. We’ve all seen those ones. Quite a few of us have been those ones.
“There’s also the fact that in very real terms, comics are only as good as their last gig” That’s why it’s so difficult to pick an all-time favourite. The good ones are still developing. The only fabbo ones that aren’t are the dead ‘uns, and they’ve got enough people deifying them that they don’t need me to add them to my comedic brilliance countdown. There’s also the fact that in very real terms, comics are only as good as their last gig. Regular comedy-goers will easily recognise uttering the words: “Not bad, but they were better last time”, just before a drop in their own personal charts of a funny person. Who’d ’ve thought that stubbing a toe could lose you a night’s credit? Comedy is such a live medium that to have one bad one instantly loses you all the people who came back to see you and repels all the ones who hadn’t seen you before in the first place. It’s a pricely sum for a bit of a grump. So that’s why I can’t say who my favourite comic ever is. It’s like trying to catch the sea in my hand – a fun game to play at but ultimately pointless, with it’s constant movement. Besides, I haven’t seen them all yet – so how could I possibly choose?

Mentor, friend, teacher. Brendan Cleary fulfils all roles for many poets. John Davies reappraises a genuine local genius Brendan Cleary writes powerful short poems with short titles. Pictures of life and of lives, they deliver a punch like a Don McCullin photo. Many contain a curious twist (a fact, a behaviour, a wry comment) that lifts the poems away from the world they inhabit. Brendan’s new collection some turbulent weather brings a series of short poems in three clusters: ‘fear & sabotage’, ‘dinner with nick’ and ‘stepping out’. The new collection is published by thetall-lighthouse, recognised with recent Poetry Book Society honours as one of the most exciting small presses around. Here the pictures of life are sharper-edged, the lines delivered in staccato bursts like gunfire on a dark street. The humour is sharper too, seeming more spontaneous; fresher. The Big Lad (as he affectionately refers to himself) can take a joke. was it my dilated pupils gave the game away or the smell of Old Holborn in my hair & I’d worked hard all of the morning on the bar stool with The Racing Post The humour based on others’ behaviour is never cruel. Often it is the humour of the involved observer; poet-jester as part of the joke, context and viewpoint given. There’s a gem of a poem, fathoms deep, about a group partying on a roof. The group itself is a ‘tax dodge’. Much to their outrage, a policeman turns up: ‘I only came round lads to let you know your mate has fallen off the roof’ These are storytelling poems, full of insight into lives haunted by booze or fags, sex or drugs, ambition and failure, all or nothing. As well designed as bullets, the poems track through mind and emotion like tracers in a night sky. Brendan has little use for such similes. I think I only spotted one in the whole collection – ‘car lights like caterpillars’. Brendan’s language is real. Things are what they are and more so. Real light falls on real objects, real people. What is so exciting and promising about this new collection is the way Brendan combines techniques reminiscent of and pastiches the Cambridge school – especially those staccato bursts and the esoteric language, here of racetrack or pub – with moments of great tenderness and lyric beauty. Brendan Cleary has changed Brighton. Brighton’s poetic renaissance drew its inspiration from him. And Brighton has changed Brendan. It’s broken his heart more than once and in so doing has helped him forge new poetry of great simplicity, beauty and power. There’s talk of him returning more to Ireland. But I hope he knows that in him Brighton has found and made a home. One definition of genius is ‘a protecting spirit of a place or institution’. Leaving aside his gift of mind, Brendan Cleary certainly fulfils the role in relation to Britain’s most poetic city, its poetry and its poets.You can hear highlights of Brendan’s reading on the Poetry South page at www.thesouth.org.uk. The new Poetry South season starts in September with the launch of Naomi Foyle’s new collection ‘The Night Pavilion’.

MUSIC REVIEWS A weekly review of local and national releases Joan As Police Woman
To listen to the chart and submit your track, go to www.latest7.co.uk/chart Or hear the full chart with Jeff and Nick on Radio Reverb, 97.2fm every Tuesday 4-6pm/12-2am Brighton Latest Download Chart Top 10
★ 1 Portslade – Girls and Boys ★ 2 The Eric Experiment – I Think It's Impossible 3 Electralounge – South of Normal 4 Mean Poppa Lean – Ain't Nobody 5 Leo Altarelli – See It Now 6 Dates – Thief 7 Caramel Jack – We Could Build Skyscrapers 8 Kiyomori – None of the Above 9 Damn Dirty Humans – You're So Retro 10 Little Black Number – Who is Number One... Post Simon & Garfunkel and through to the mid-80s Paul Simon regularly produced chart-friendly, melody-rich songs, incorporating influences from around the world, particularly African music and sounds from the West Indies. As with so many stars of the 60s and 70s his writing skills deteriorated through the 90s only to unexpectedly come back to the fore with his last album, Surprise. Here’s a decent round-up of much of his best stuff, simply called Essential. Joan Wasser is well known on the pop and art-rock scenes as an aggressive (style-wise!) violinist who has recorded and toured with the likes of Nick Cave, Anthony & The Johnsons and Elton John. But more recently as Joan As Police Woman she has been carving out a reputation as a fine songwriter and singer in her own right. This former girlfriend of Jeff Buckley produces intimate, haunting songs and while her new album To Survive is perhaps not so full of instantly memorable songs, it’s still another step forward for this brilliant live entertainer and all-round talent. Following their recent ’pay-as-you-like’ download campaign for their In Rainbows album, EMI have decided to cash-in on the continued surge of interest in Radiohead by issuing their career retrospective, simply called The Best Of. For the uninitiated it’s worth it for an overview but you’d be just as well off by buying their post album Pablo Honey. I had my doubts about The Zutons, seeing them as a rather onedimensional sub-garage blues outfit featuring the long-legged Abi Harding on sax and four blokes. Perhaps I was being distracted as I now like the band’s second album You Can Do Anything, an exhilarating journey via their cartoon punk psychedelia. Psychedelic multi-instrumentalist Alexander Tucker has been loitering on the fringes of the stoner and art-rock scenes for a while now, creating experimental soundscapes of glacial beauty, sounding somehow ancient and ultra-modern. Third record, Portal, is exactly that – an entry into a world more spectacular, more intricate, more awe-inspiring than our own. Somewhat more earth-bound is the new record by Steeleye Span’s Maddy Prior, Seven For Old England. Bearing all the folk clichés of her contemporaries, what saves Prior’s latest work from the scrapheap is the sheer strength of song-writing. If a little too rustic at times, the complex arrangements and quietly rambunctious sound of the modern Maddy Prior remains another quality release.

But the Pussycat Club ‘til dawn chorus soon flipped my mood. ‘Twas like opening the door to one of Willy Wonkas parlours! Sweet odours of apple sours and fruity perfumes, girls in giant marshmallow puff skirts and the seamless timing of a remixed ‘Sweet Dreams’ opened the scene. The décor would have lipstick ladies everywhere in a state of Barbie doll decapitating envy! Fluffy pink here, glitter there and a somewhat lavish four poster bed. When the showgirls weren’t ruffling their feathers men were laid out google-eyed enjoying a hair ruffle behind the lace curtains. As I glanced around at ladies oozing appeal like créme from a tube, in pink-laced basques and 60s disco dresses I felt a sense of relief I’d avoided the costumes of comic worth. I may have found myself caged in a social suicide box like a bad mime act should I have got that pink and black wetsuit or Mr Blobby paint job. My evening spent licking my ‘sugarcoated’ glow stick was interrupted by a high-kicking rocked up interlude before the crowd ‘put ‘em high’ for DJ Stonebridege. I took my first look at the penthouse, a smart arc of the club throwing out some dirty electro of its own, its model bar almost looked like it should read ‘Keep Off’ but that won’t prevent the inevitable ten sambucas! With resident DJs Al Outram and Nippa spinning out funky house, Pussycat blew the demure bouncy castle birthdays of all ‘tuther 13-year-olds out of the pond! The entrance fee violates the wallet of any juvenile clubber but is just a usual hit for the veteran who budgets accordingly. I got no closer to converting the masses to the side of Indy but was sweating like a racehorse and danced my shoes off. In the words of Meatloaf, ‘Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad’.

A woman of substance She’s involved with Spectrum, Pride in Brighton and Hove, and is a senior lecturer in Human Geographies at Brighton University. Paul Disney caught up with Dr Kath Browne Describe yourself in three words. Inquisitive, sensitive and fun. Where are you from? I was born in Cork City, County Cork, in Ireland. Why Brighton and Hove? I came to Brighton about five and a half years ago to take up my post at Brighton University. I can remember the first day I came to Brighton for my interview; it was a really cold and rainy winter’s day. I sat on the beach and just fell in love with the place. Can you explain to me what are ‘human geographies’? It’s the study of people and places. It’s a branch of geography that focuses on the study of the patterns and processes that shape human interaction with the environment. The are lots of different types of human geography. I look at geographies of sexualities, how LGBT spaces – and even cities – are created and used. You can think about how gay spaces are different to work or school and what that means for how they are used, how comfortable they feel and what happens in them. Then you can move that to think about how all space is sexualised, usually as heterosexual. People always ask how I can do ‘Count Me In Too’ as a geographer, but I think geographers are perhaps the only ones who could address all these different issues and not have to emphasise one aspect, be that health, safety, housing, among others. We can look at all the different processes and how they create the places in which we live. For me looking at Brighton and Hove, the ‘gay capital’, in such depth and diversity has been an amazing journey. Have you always been interested in genderspecific politics? Yes. I can remember many years ago my brothers calling me a feminist because I was so into women’s rights. They used to know how to wind me up by suggesting that all women should be in the home! Where does that interest come from? I think it’s about learning about other people and in part recognising your own privilege. A lot of that is about coming to terms with your own prejudices and learning to stop yourself in ways that seem like common sense. In coming out it was important to experience some forms of discrimination, and being Irish in England was also a way of experiencing stigmatisation. Empathy is key for me and has been essential to doing good research. How did you come to be work with Spectrum, the LGBT community forum? After the survey at Brighton Pride in 2004, as part of the University of Brighton’s Community Partnership Programme, I was put in touch with Spectrum who showed an interest in looking at the LGBT community needs. We worked with them to think about how we could create policy and collect relevant and robust research that included those who are most marginalised from our ‘gay city’ and would not answer questionnaire surveys. I met Arthur 42 latest 7
Law from Spectrum in a partnership meeting and he was really keen to get a regular survey up and running to find out about what LGBT people in the city need – where they live, where they work, about health issues, their families, safety concerns, and the services they use. Why did you get involved with Pride in Brighton and Hove? After I did the Pride survey in 2004, the board of trustees asked me to get involved. I did the research and joined in because I wanted to give something back and be part of the LGBT community. At the time myself and Sarah Hardman represented the community and voluntary sectors, making sure the grants had a process and thinking about Pride’s community side. Pride in Brighton and Hove is really unique in the city and beyond. It has businesses, voluntary groups and charities all involved, crossing different types of boundaries and able to work positively with all sectors. I really love being involved in Pride and hopefully helping people celebrate LGBT identities. Have you influenced the organisation? I hope I have. Pride is a team effort and I hope I have helped the board to become aware of its communities and the diversity that exists in those communities. I also hope that in working with communities and leading on access issues and addressing people’s concerns we have made Pride more engaged and approachable. Who do you most admire in the LGBT community in the city? Now that’s a hard one, there are so many unsung heroes in Brighton and Hove that do really good work and never get recognition for it. I think that women in particular are rarely celebrated. The two that spring to mind are Leela Bakshi, who I work with on Count Me In Too – she is a Spectrum trustee – and Yvonne Baker, who is a Pride in Brighton and Hove trustee. Both women I admire and respect because they do their volunteer work with dedication, have an impressive work ethic and give without looking for anything in return. Of course I can’t get away with answering this question without mentioning Arthur Law, whose years of service to the LGBT community has saved lives, all those who work in the LGBT services and with LGBT people that I have worked with over the course of Count Me In Too, and Donna Imrie, who should be admired for putting up with me – especially when I am late! Finally, if you were mayor for the day what would be the first item on your agenda for Brighton and Hove? I think it would be to create an LGBT centre in the city. Brighton and Hove has a huge LGBT population and an LGBT centre that sits alongside our great scene could give people a place to meet, socialise in and just hang out together and get to know each other. It could help make the spaces that lots of people in Count Me In Too asked for. The whole structure and idea still needs more thinking through, but my LGBT centre would have big comfy sofas and a really warm welcome.

Volunteers for Pride needed
Last year’s Barcelona Walkers saw the sites, had a ball and partied till dawn – how on earth did they manage the walk?
Stonewall Barcelona Walk 2008 Expel homophobic bullying from schools by walking for equality in Barcelona – and win a weekend in New York if you’re top fundraiser! To help improve life for young gay people, Stonewall is urging people to join this year’s Barcelona Equality Walk. Education for All’s new slogan ‘Some people are gay. Get over it!’ has been embraced by politicians and celebrities alike. All the frontrunners for London Mayor supported the campaign at Stonewall’s Mayoral Hustings and it featured recently on Hollyoaks, where character Kris Fisher wore the slogan on his t-shirt. “Twenty years ago this summer, Section 28 was introduced,” said Ben Summerskill, Stonewall Chief Executive. “I can think of no better way to mark this significant anniversary than by encouraging gay and lesbian people to walk for equality in an act of solidarity and optimism that the next generation’s attitudes will be fostered to be more accepting than the last.’ This year, guests will once again be staying at the luxurious, Axel Hotel. They’ll be welcomed with a pool party on the Friday. Saturday is the 10k Equality Walk and treasure hunt, a fun way of taking in all the fabulous sights of Barcelona. The day finishes with a prize-giving ceremony for the best

treasure hunters and fundraisers. This year’s top fundraiser will receive a very impressive prize – two business class tickets to New York, kindly donated by BA, and the fantastic four star Royalton Hotel has generously donated two nights accommodation. Finally, Sunday is your free day – but there will be a optional social brunch. “If the sponsorship seems a lot to raise, fear not; we’ve got loads of ideas to help you out,” said Michaela Greene, deputy fundraising director. “This has worked really well for participants from previous years who initially thought they’d have problems reaching their fundraising targets”. The 10k walk is ideal for people who want to sign up in a group, or on their own as many walkers come to make new friends. Signing up couldn’t be easier – simply pay the £300 non-returnable registration fee and raise a suggested £400 in sponsorship, or fundraise for the full amount. The registration fee covers all flights, accommodation, transfers and social events.

Pride in Brighton and Hove is an extremely well run and busy event. But to make it such a success, the Pride team relies on volunteers to ensure everyone has a great day out. Pride is now looking for volunteers to help manage the parade and festival and to ensure everyone has a good time. Pride in Brighton and Hove is the city’s biggest party of the year and attracts in excess of 150,000 people to party on Pride Day in Preston Park. “We are looking to attract a large and diverse range of volunteers from all sections of the community and this year especially we are keen to really diversify our volunteer workforce,” says Judith Manson, fundraising and communications manager. “Volunteering for Pride can help keep Brighton Pride, Europe’s largest free park festival.”
Pride is looking for volunteers in general and particularly for the Carnival Parade and Preston Park on 2 August 2008. “No experience is necessary for the events roles and training will be given,” says Ms Manson. “This is a great chance to meet new people, gain new experiences and you get to see Pride from a different angle.” Pride is looking for: volunteer wheel stewards for the Carnival Parade. Events assistants working in Preston Park who will undertake a range of tasks to ensure the day runs smoothly. Bucket collectors to help raise much-needed funds for Pride and Parade health and safety checkers. If you feel you can contribute something to this year’s events please visit: www.brightonpride.org email: office@brightonpride.org Call: 01273 775939 for information and application form.

For those who want to help with the condom packs, it’s a great opportunity to support Terrence Higgins Trust and meet some new people.” The service, which will run from 124pm every Friday for anyone with queries or concerns about HIV or sexual health.

William Tells Will Harris takes time to listen and learn from a gay rights veteran The very first time I spoke to Gilbert Baker, creator of the rainbow flag, I knew meeting him was going to be an interesting experience. A genuine living legend, Gilbert has spent the entirety of his adult life fighting for the basic human rights of gay communities, not just in the US and UK but all over the world. Pretty inspiring stuff, huh? So inspiring, in fact, that – when I rang him at his home in New York to ask for his passport details – I somehow ended up spending over an hour and a half talking to him about the Vietnam War (he was there), the American Civil Rights movement (yep, there too), and the birth of gay liberation in 1970s San Francisco (he was, if not the midwife, at least present in the delivery room). As a result, when I eventually put the phone down, I found myself so empowered I decided I’d had enough of my rubbish lettings agent and called to give them a stern ticking off. Ok, it was no ‘Wounded Knee‘, but at the time it seemed positively heroic! So here’s the story. I was put in contact with Gilbert because the rainbow flag, his baby, turns 30 this year and my client had released a limited edition rainbow gift pack to celebrate. Now, truth be told, the idea that the flag even had a creator came as news to me; like a large portion of my generation, I’ve grown up assuming that such staples of gay society have always existed, much like Poppers (actually invented in the 19th Century) and Shirley Bassey (who I’m told first sang ‘Goldfinger’ as a Gregorian chant).

“You have to remember... you could get murdered back then, even in New York and San Francisco” Living in a town like Brighton, it’s sometimes easy to forget that the Western world wasn’t always as tolerant of diversity as it is today, and that back in the ‘60s and ‘70s being gay or lesbian might have got you arrested, a course of electric-shock therapy, or far, far worse. “You have to remember,” Gilbert told me over brunch in Soho, “you could get murdered back then, even in New York and San Francisco. Guys you knew from the Castro, your buddies from the bath houses; they’d just disappear and the next you’d hear their name would be in some tiny article in the Examiner.” To me, of course, Gilbert’s story sounded like a tale from antiquity, which made it all the more strange a realisation that all this was happening when my mother was my age. “Oh, it wasn’t all bad though,” Gilbert nudged my knee under the table, a very definite twinkle in his eye. “We had a lot of fun too. We were all so young and gorgeous; it could get pretty wild.” Now, 1970s San Francisco is a time and a place in history that really interests me, representing as it does a major tipping point in the long battle for gay rights. But what was it like to live back then? How does it compare to what we have now? And, ultimately, for all the struggles, have we ended up in a better place, or worse? My head was full of questions, and so help me Shirley I was determined to ask them! To be continued…

She says it how she sees it
Psychic Private Eyes Zone Reality channel. Repeats on Virgin On Demand I thought I would try and follow on with the paranormal theme that has been vaguely running through this column. I say that this has been a running theme, but in actual fact I have only written one column on this type of programme. The difference this time, however, is that I recommend this programme because I feel it’s one of the few legitimate ‘medium’ programmes I have seen in a long time. If you don’t believe in this sort of thing then perhaps you should stop reading now, as this won’t be of any interest to you. If you are interested, or perhaps believe this is possible, then I suggest you watch the show and make up your own mind. TJ Hughes, Colin Fry and Tony Stockwell are three psychics, and out of all the TV mediums they would be the only ones I would trust. And it turns out that I’m not the only one. During this series many grieving people have turned to them to help them find out the truth behind their loved ones deaths – whether it be a bizarre suicide or a murder without a murderer. It is a relatively little-known fact that mediums are brought in to help solve police cases all over the world. Sometimes the only person who knows the truth is the one who is no longer here and sometimes only mediums are able to find out the final few pieces of the puzzle. The first episode (which is free to watch any time using Virgin On Demand) may be considered controversial as it involves the mysterious death of a soldier at the Deepcut army base in Surrey. The mother of a boy found dead would like to find out what really happened to her son. One who had always wanted to join the army and had apparently managed to shoot himself twice in the head. Frustratingly, all the paperwork regarding the death had disappeared. This episode is especially interesting because it involves the army and because we can all remember seeing the story on the news. But this isn’t to say that the other episodes are any less interesting. Each one has a new mystery and a new family looking for answers. And every episode delivers the same eyebrow-raising footage. It’s touching to see people able to move on with the deaths of their loved ones. And it’s also very interesting to see that, sometimes, the paranormal can make more difference than all the police in the country

Movies on the box this week
TUESDAY 17 Nil By Mouth ★★★★✩ (1997, Sky Movies Indie, 10pm. Dir Gary Oldman) Draw the curtains against the summer sun and let the gloom seep in courtesy of this brilliant but harrowing depiction of domestic violence. Gary Oldman drew from his own experience to flesh out the marriage between volatile Reg (Ray Winstone) and long-suffering wife (Kathy Burke).
WEDNESDAY 18 Black Dog ★★✩✩✩ (1998, BBC1, 11.40pm. Dir Kevin Hooks) Patrick Swayze attempted to put his dancing days behind him in this so-so thriller about a retired trucker forced to haul one more (illegal) load to keep the bailiffs from getting his house. Meatloaf turns up in one of his entertaining movie appearances, this time as a Bible-quoting crackpot.
THURSDAY 19 The Page Turner ★★★★✩ (2006, Sky Movies Indie, 3.25am. Dir Denis Dercourt) Revenge is a dish best served with a side order of erotic frisson in this quirky French revenge thriller. Julie Richalet stars as a wannabe classical pianist who sets out to destroy the famous musician who ruins her chances of becoming a success. Sly, sultry and slow-burning Gallic intrigue – what’s not to like?
FRIDAY 20 Intermission ★★★★✩ (2003, BBC1, 11.40pm. Dir John Crowley) ‘Leave the Guinness and go for the guns’ should be the motto of this excellent Irish thriller which stars Colin Farrell as a criminal out to do a bank job right under the nose of the local law. Hopefully the Beeb will see fit to leave in the inventive swearing available on the DVD version. Duck Soup ★★★★✩ (1933, Sky Movie Classics, 1.30pm. Dir Leo McCarey) Many years before Team America: World Police was spoofing US patriotism, the Marx Brothers were already sending up the war game and everything that goes with it in this anarchic classic. Satirical numbers like ‘We Got Guns, They Got Guns, All God’s Chillun Got Guns’ are still hilarious today.
46 latest 7
17 – 23 June
SATURDAY 21 Broken Flowers ★★✩✩✩ (2005, BBC2, 9.30pm. Dir Jim Jarmusch) Bill Murray almost blew the indie cool he built up with Lost in Translation on this boring, navel-gazing twaddle. He plays an ‘over-the-hill Don Juan’ who’s inspired to meet up with his ex-girlfriends following a letter suggesting he has a lost son. Less than the sum of its long-winded parts. The Go-Between ★★★★✩ (1970, ITV1, 2am. Dir Joseph Losey) Buttoned-down passions and innocence betrayed are the rather bleak subject matter of Harold Pinter’s clever adaptation of the literary classic. In turn-of-the-century England a boy’s life changes when he starts running errands for the gorgeous, but repressed, Julie Christie.
SUNDAY 22 Little Miss Sunshine ★★✩✩✩ (2006, Sky Movies Indie, 6.45pm. Dir Jonathan Dayton, Valerie Faris) American indie cinema continued its love affair with dysfunctional families in this average take on one clan’s attempts to get their daughter Olive (Abigail Breslin) to a beauty pageant on time. The wackiness is laid on too thick, but Alan Arkin does a great (if too brief) turn as a coke-snorting grandad.
MONDAY 23 Wilde ★★★✩✩ (1997, Sky Movies Indie, 10pm. Dir Brian Gilbert) Stephen Fry was born to be Wilde (ahem) in this slightly flat biopic of the world’s wittiest Irishman caught between domestic life and an affair with Lord Alfred Douglas (a pretty Jude Law). High production values, but this bon mot-toting libertarian is almost too good to be true

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation Five, 9pm We love it when respected shows like CSI get those groovy gurst stars like Alan Tudyk. He was great in A Knight’s Tale, he was fabbo in Firefly and Serenity, and now – he’s playing a known paedo living nearby to where two young boys have disappeared. Oh. Fed up of playing goodies?
The Biggest Chinese Restaurant in the World: Storyville BBC4, 10pm Not in London, not even in New York but in China is the largest Chinese restaurant, owned by Qin Linzi. Addressing staff turnover, pay rises and the importance of Qin drinking with her customers – oh yes it is important – is a show about a business in China. Cool.

Viagra: Ten Years on the Rise Five, 10pm Since the little blue pill first entered our consciousness – and blood systems – ten years ago it seems our attitude to sex before it’s arrival was positively Victorian. This lighthearted documentary takes a look at the aide de l’homme’s impact on British sex.
Jews BBC4, 9pm This new series offers ‘unprecedented insight’ into Jewish life in Britain today. Kicking off with ultra-orthodox Hasidic Jew Samuel Leibowitz, about to be released from prison after multiple drug convictions. Oh dear. Tracking his re-entry into ultra-orthodox life and the new trials that face him. Curious.

thursday 19 Heroes BBC2, 9pm You know when you turn up a jot too late and you really wish you’d got there just in time? Hiro doesn’t suffer from this so much. He has a rather unique take on the whole ‘regrets’ issue. So it’s hardly surprising that when he hears of his father’s untimely demise he decides to go popping back in time to save him. Ahh.
House Five, 9pm Not one for doing things the quiet way, House’s fascination with the soaps finally permeates into his work life as he kidnaps the lead actor from his show under the belief that the actor has a brain tumour. Except all the tests say he’s fine. Oops. And then things start to go awry. But of course, could it go any other way?
Can Dogs Smell Cancer? BBC4, 8pm Sounds like a reasonably straightforward question, one that would challenge the plot extremities of Hollywood sci-fi to garner any response other than a hearty laugh. Titter ye not. Apparently dogs do have an ability to detect cancer in humans, and folks are investigating it. Learning time.
