Ready to say ‘I do’? Newly wed Zara Baker explains how to plan for your dream wedding
Other ways to cut costs on essential items include home-made stationary. Invitations, order of services and place cards can be created at half the cost of buying a pack. It takes longer but the family love to help and it’s a personal touch to the big day.
On the day... I’m still in the ‘honeymoon period’ of my wedding. There may be sceptics – or those married for more than ten years – who laugh when I say the wedding was the best day of my life; it really was. It took three years of planning and lots of saving, but it was worth it. Forget the whirlwind weddings of celebrities whose planning stage lasts as long as their time married. They have assistants, status and money to get things done. The dream wedding does not happen overnight, but it is possible – whatever your budget. So here are some tips and advice on creating that memorable day.
A year to go: Book the venue It may seem like a long way off when you put a deposit down for a reception venue or visit the local church with a whole year to go. But, there are only so many Saturdays and the popular time for weddings is May to August, so places book up fast. Don’t settle for your second choice and be sure to snag your dream venue early. Be sure to look around. Venues will have a capacity limit so make sure it’s a realistic estimate to the number of people you’re inviting. A lot of venues have a marquee set up in the grounds, perfect on a balmy summers night, but not so good in the rain. With the unpredictable weather in the UK, it’s best to ensure the interior can hold all your guests. Exploring venues the same time of year you plan to marry means you will see it in a similar light. Be sure to ask if any building work is planned – a lot can happen in a year. We were pre-warned that our church may have interior work carried out in 2008, but six months before, we were informed that this wouldn’t be started. It was unlikely but it was good to be told and have no sudden surprises.
A year to go: Plan outfits Never stop making lists and ticking off tasks. It may sound tedious but a wedding planner (the book – or a person if you have the money!) will become your best friend for the year. A lot of these give hints at what time of year to be doing different aspects of planning. Sort your outfits early. Visit a dress shop the summer before the big day for fantastic sales as older stock gives way to new. Don’t forget the bridesmaids; while it may be nice to have all five of your old school friends, it quickly adds up. Reach a compromise by seeing if they will help pay towards their frock. It’s your big day, and they’ll be excited to be a part of it. As for the men’s suits, it looks great when the groom, the dads, ushers, page boy and best man all match. Choose the suits as a couple and then let the male members of the wedding party know before the measure-up so they can express any doubts. It’s the style he groom wants at the end of the day but it’s nice when everyone’s in agreement.
Expect knock backs but keep smiling. There’s only so much planning you can do. The rest is up to fate – or Mother Nature. Coleen and Wayne Rooney had a downpour at their dream wedding in the Italian Riviera while the sun shone over Liverpool. The weather can’t be foreseen but keep a ‘plan b’ for wedding photography, just in case the sprawling green you chose for the group shot is waterlogged. If the best man or bridesmaids are held up, remember it’s not the end of the world. As long as the bride and groom make it, that’s all that matters. This is just a fraction of what goes into the big day, but hopefully it’s some useful advice all couples can take with them. There are magazines and books packed with information, but this can be overwhelming. The key things, are to plan in advance, delegate, relax and then enjoy. It’s a lot of preparation for one day, but I can assure you it’s worth every minute. For planning every aspect of your big day, turn over for the rest our wedding special...

Wedding daze
promise you will take a honeymoon a few years down the line. Another sure-fire way to cut the costs is to talk to friends and family. Photographers, cakemakers and hairdressers suddenly fall into your lap at the fraction of the price. Our wedding photographer was someone my husband and I used to work with. We saw some of the amazing photographs he’d taken and ended up with a great deal. It was also a lot more relaxed on the day, working with someone we knew. Our cake was made by a friend who didn’t do it professionally but loved to bake and attended decorating classes. Our three-tier fruit, madeira sponge and chocolate marble combination was a wedding present and far more personal than a shop-bought cake.
Cut costs It’s only when you start planning a wedding that you realise the costs involved. A few zeros creep on the end of quotes for items you wouldn’t expect. Be realistic. Set a budget once you’ve seen some of the prices out there taking into account the main factors: outfits, venue, rings, car, photography, gifts, stationary, flowers, cake, food, drink and honeymoon. Now go back to your budget. It’s probably stretched already. If you’d rather put the money towards a house than a honeymoon, latest 7 5

WEDDINGS replace old items or to finally get those things which you simply thought were luxuries that you could not afford. The team at Angela Cheung will constantly monitor how your list is doing, advise you if you need to add more items and ensure that all items once purchased cannot be duplicated
A gift for lists
Set for life
Interior designer Angela Cheung has a passion for style, a love of luxury and a talent for sharing those gifts through her new wedding list service Angela Cheung has built an excellent reputation for interior design over the last few years. Her projects, both domestic and commercial, have received great acclaim and many have featured in both magazines and on television. Her skill as a designer is in finding ways of making the very most out of a room. Using brilliant colour sense she can make small rooms look expansive; big rooms look cosy; she can add an element of sleek modernity to a period property – without compromising the integrity of the original building – and at the same time she is equally confident placing antique furnishings in a modern home. Whatever the brief, she has the ability to create great effect, style yes but never at the expense of comfort. An Angela Cheung interior will reflect the life style of the owners. Inevitably this has meant that Angela has developed a massive resource of beautiful home furnishings, fabrics and accessories. Just over two years ago Angela moved her practice to Hurstpierpoint. She realised she no longer needed to be in the city centre and that in the country she would have far more space. Enough space in fact to open a beautiful showroom in which she could display many of the designer items that she regularly uses in her projects. The showroom became a place of pilgrimage for lovers of great design and the constantly changing selection of items – as diverse as luggage and dog bowls – made it an ideal place to shop for gifts. Angela soon recognised an opportunity to expand that gift side of her business and has used her knowledge of design to create a website on which clients can shop online.
Wedding bliss These days many couples who are planning a wedding are already living together. Certainly people are not marrying as young as before and as a consequence they go into married life already owning many of those items that would have once been on a conventional wedding gift list. Angela Cheung offers an excellent wedding gift service that suits couples in this situation. There are luxury items to suit most tastes but there are also witty and not necessarily expansive gifts for people on smaller budgets. Couples can go along to the showroom or visit the website and, with the aid of a designer, create a wedding list of quality gifts that they know they will love. Once that list is agreed the items will be placed on a bespoke section of the Angela Cheung website and here, guests will be able to access and browse the list and when they have chosen actually purchase the item securely online. It’s an easy to use website that require a simple password access that the couple will provide and all the information about how to use the website is printed on stylish cards by Angela for clients to send out with their wedding invitations. 6 latest 7
Setting up a wedding list at Angela Cheung could not be easier. Simply go to the website and register your details so that one of the team can contact you. Alternatively you could call the showroom on 01273 831490 and make an appointment to meet or simply drop into the showroom to make an appointment There are gifts at a wide range of prices and currently Angela is an appointed stockist of many leading designer brands: Alessi, Artemide, Elephant, Horm, Kartell, LSA, Missoni Home, Mulberry, Sia, Bang & Olufsen, Farrow & Ball, Harlequin, Bric's, Flos, Vipp and designers such as Philippe Starck, Karim Rashid, Robin Day, Richard Sapper, the Bouroullec brothers, Michael Graves, Stefano Giovannoni, Ron Arad and Jasper Morrison
Signed, sealed, delivered
Kartell La Marie chairs
Once done there is little else to do, although at any time you can access and manage your wedding list, add or delete items. Angela Cheung will finally gather all of your gifts together and label them for your guest and they will be delivered at a suitable time for you when you return from your honeymoon.
Touch of class
Happily ever after
So what will you find on the Angela Cheung wedding gift site? Well obviously the very best of modern design, from Alessi to Missoni and beyond. Everything from beautiful bed and table linen, rugs and runners, tableware, kitchenware, glass, lighting, soft furnishings and contemporary furniture. Recently Angela has added beautiful Bric’s leather luggage. There are gifts at all prices too, a couple may choose to ask for a dinner service that their guest can buy as little or as much as they can afford, the same applies to glass and crystal and cutlery too. There are also sensational kitchen appliances, perfect for replacing the cheap ones you bought to ‘make do’. A wedding list is in fact an ideal way to
A bespoke wedding list of this kind almost guarantees that there will be no unwanted gifts, nothing to hide away, only to be dragged out of a cupboard when visitors come around. It also relieves your guests of having to deal with parcels and packages on the day and again, later on your wedding day, the problem of ferrying mountains of gifts after the ceremony and the reception. Angela Cheung has put in place a sophisticated alternative to the instore wedding list and the fear of a mountain of tacky toasters, scratchy towels and hideous vases.

Wedding belles Head to Manor Beauty for the perfect wedding day package to leave you looking and feeling gorgeous Manor Beauty have recently opened their doors on Hove Street. The ultimate indulgence; relax and be pampered, as here you will find everything you need for your big day. Manor Beauty can provide OPI manicures to leave your hands looking gorgeous and feeling soft and perfect for the close-up shot of your wedding band. If you’re nails are in need of TLC and the day is approaching, fake it with nail extensions. Remember to get these done the day before. If you’re planning a winter wedding, but want a healthy sun-kissed tan that only comes hand in hand with a holiday abroad, opt for a fake tan at Manor Beauty. They offer spray tanning and sun beds to achieve the perfect bronzed look. We all look healthy and feel great with a tan. Achieve a natural looking shade at Hove Manor and prepare to dazzle – especially if you’re wearing traditional white. This will set off any tan. Ensure your skin is in optimum condition with a Guam D-Fungi bodywrap, the best-selling wrap in Harrods Spas, now available in Hove. The wrap contains Guam seaweed products that will help break down cellulite and provide inch loss! Skin is then left feeling soft and supple. It’s best to start your beauty regime a few months before the big day. This way, you can see how your skin responds to different products and if they are suitable. A series of facials is a perfect pampering treat and there’s a variety at Hove Manor to suit all. A mini-facial at just £20 cleanses and tones, while others include anti-ageing and rejuvenating. Pharmagel is used in all the facials at Hove Manor. This ingredient provides effective and lasting results. Have your last facial five to seven days before the wedding to let the skin settle as breakouts can be a result because of the deep cleansing. A series of facials will create a perfect base for the make-up to be applied. Hove Manor have a team of experienced make-up artists with
impressive CVs, which cover film, television, West End shows and A-list stars. Having a professional at hand takes the hassle and stress away from doing-it-yourself or relying on friends and the results will be long-lasting. They know the best products to use so the only thing brides have to remember is a touch-up of lipstick after all the champagne! The Hove Manor make-up artists will give professional, lasting results but they’re not expensive. Wedding make-up and trial is just £70 plus additional for call out if they come to you on the morning. Manor Beauty can take care of all your beauty needs for the big day. There’s a price and package to suit all, and it’s not just the bride who will benefit. Visit with the bridesmaids, mothers and even the groom for a relaxing pampering session before the day. There’s a lot of planning that goes into a wedding. Leave the beauty to Manor Beauty and that’s one less thing to worry about. Enjoy a facial or bodywrap in this distinct atmosphere. It is a beauty clinic, but it’s set apart from others. It’s open to men and women of all ages, six days a week (Monday to Saturday), and until 8pm on Wednesday and Thursday.Treat yourself or treat a loved one.

Business aid Ian Wilson of local solicitors Dean Wilson Laing gives invaluable advice to the city’s thousands of small companies and employees This week: Garden leave Ian Wilson is senior partner of six-partner Brighton solicitors Dean Wilson Laing and specialises in employment law. He was a parttime chairman of the Employment Tribunals for nine years. He is also a board member of The Prince’s Trust (Sussex) and a board member of The Martlets Hospice.
journalism have been held to be the types of work where you have a right to work which would mean that, in the absence of anything in your contract of employment, they would not be entitled to put you on garden leave but would be required to provide you with work during your notice period. As you do not appear to be in that category of workers then there is really nothing to stop them doing what they have.
Q. I have been made redundant by my employer but put on garden leave for the period of my notice which is 3 months. There is nothing in my contract of employment that entitles them to do this. Can they do it?. ?
Q. There is in my contract of employment a covenant that restricts me from working for any competitor for a period of 6 months from the date of termination. Does that 6 months run from the moment they put me on garden leave or from the end of my notice period?.
A. This depends on the type of work that you do. Some types of work such as acting and singing and perhaps
A. Often these clauses are unenforceable in any event for a variety of reasons but on the
assumption that this clause is enforceable in all other respects it would be probably regarded as unreasonable if they tried to argue that the restricted period runs from the date of the expiration of your garden leave. In other words the amount of your garden leave (3 months) should be set off against the 6 months non-competition clause meaning that you could not work for a competitor for 3 months after the end of your garden leave. Q. Does my entitlement to holiday pay and sickness pay continue to accrue during the period of my garden leave and any other benefits that I would normally receive?.
phone costs would not continue to be payable. Likewise it is quite common for employers to request back any car that you have as part of your employment since clearly you would not need that during the period of your garden leave although if there has been an element of personal use of that car then they should continue to compensate you for the loss of that during your garden leave period. Q. I have often seen this referred to as gardening leave but I assume that is the wrong expression? A. The legal expression is in fact garden leave but you are certainly not prohibited from gardening during this period!
A. Your holiday and sickness pay entitlement would continue to accrue throughout this period but other benefits that you might receive such as travelling expenses or mobile

With Tim Richardson
Fantastic new prizes to win!
Out of Leftfield
R&B Classics Collection
On Monday 8 September things were buzzing at the Latest Music Bar as Geoff Martin, director of the Left Field stage, introduced a new film about Glastonbury Festival’s Left Field. The premiere of the Left Field 2008 movie, was made by London firefighter and co-conspirator at Militant Entertainment, Alan Miles. Left Field started back in 2002 with little more than a drum riser in the corner of a beer tent but in seven years, they have grown to be one of the biggest covered venues on site, with a stellar international line-up to match. Geoff Martin stated that “none of this would have happened without the leverage of the Battersea and Wandsworth TUC and its trading arm the Workers Beer Company. It was that connection that got us the Glastonbury gig and it’s a testament to the hard graft of the thousands of Workers Beer volunteers, who pull the pints at events up and down the country, that their efforts have helped make the Left Field happen”.

A fantastic triple-CD album, featuring chart-topping hits from Salt N Pepa, Blackstreet and Rhianna, combined with classics from Nelly, Mary J Blige, 2 Pac and Ashanti – this is a collection for all fans of the R’n’B genre.

Swanning around Alison Swann wonders if the American presidential race is inspiring to us
Modern toss Do you care about the race for the American presidency? Do you think it matters, living here in Brighton? Or do you think the only people who might be disappointed about George W Bush leaving office are the comedy scriptwriters who have had a hell of a run of it in recent years. I found it hard not to get caught up in the excitement surrounding Barack Obama as he took to the stage recently at the Democratic Party conference. He’s a young man (for politics), bright, good-looking, of mixed race, and takes to the stage biting the air with the power of a man who not only smells victory but is digging his spoon in and getting ready to take a huge gulp. And then there’s the Alaskan cookie-cutter mom who looks like something out of South Park in the shape of Sarah Palin who has rocked up for the Republicans. Someone please tell me that Trey Parker made her up.
“My interest in politics is much like my interest in watching football – when the World Cup is on I’m there, embracing the opportunity to go to the pub” My interest in politics is much like my interest in watching football. When the World Cup is on I’m right there at the front shouting and cheering and embracing the opportunity to spend many evenings in the pub. The same goes for the general election. I keep an eye on the goings on in between the big matches, but don’t get into the grass-roots action. So, like many people I do get quite consumed when the big job’s up for grabs and the parties are facing the challenge of trying to find a politician who can pass muster in the sex department. The Heatmagazine generation aren’t going to even look at, let alone listen to someone who doesn’t pass the ‘hot or not‘ debate. There is no way an ugly politician is going to get voted in unless he or she gives everyone who votes for them a million quid. This wasn’t always the case, look at Harold Wilson, Thatcher and Callaghan among others. David Cameron ain’t my bag, but there are many ladies of the Daily Mail-reading
persuasion who get quite flush in their postmenopausal way when they see him cycling to work. Then there’s superstrength Clegg, otherwise known as Cameron lite, who is facially proportioned so as not to cause offence in the suburbs. And as for Gordon… Well, he’s no Heathcliff. I mean, really! I find it interesting that at a time when main-stage politics has become more consumed by image than at any time in history, I’m sitting in my first stand-up comedy class (we’ll get to that later in the month) and being told that people are simply not interested in political comedy. That we no longer give a toss about politics. Which is quite ironic considering that the alternative comedy roots of the standup world, which strides stadiums rock-star style these days, came from the spirit of political rebellion in the late ‘70s. As epitomised by the likes of Alexei Sayle, Spitting Image, Jo Brand and Ben Elton (there was a time when he was fantastically full of left-wing political bile and could romp through a 20minute set that left you gasping). There remains a few exceptions to this in the likes of Mark Thomas, Mark Steel and Jeremy Hardy, but they are hardly in the mainstream. When election time comes round for us, I’m not going to get into who you should vote for but suggest that you start paying attention to who might get voted in. Make an effort to get some knowledge on who the hell these people are and what they are planning on doing to the country and city you live in. Incidentally, there is one UK politician being touted as the pretender to the throne and, after his recent association with Barack Obama (Harvard buddies), as possibly Britain’s first black prime minister. David Lammy, the MP for Tottenham, is married to artist Nicola Green (comedian Arthur Smith’s ex, which makes her pretty cool in my world) and maybe the one you can bet the press will jump on if Obama bags the US prize. Do you know who he is? Maybe you should. I know I’m going to be reading up on him and looking at our politicians a lot more closely. I think it’s time to give a toss.

Dani’s diary
Sandra Omo is concerned about models’ photos being used without them knowing
Dani is fed up of not being catered for when clothes shopping on the high street I am at home with the flu. Doing what people with the flu do best, which is watching daytime TV. During my morning chat show viewing an advert pops on for Marisota. A catalogue just for women who find it difficult to find clothes and shoes to fit. During the advert the narrator claims that: “Half the women we asked claimed they could not find clothes to fit correctly. Half the women we asked said they cannot find shoes wide enough. Sally was one of the women we asked and she said she could not find trousers long enough.” Or something along those lines. Where did they find these women? How many women did they actually survey? I have a sneaking suspicion they only asked women who may already answer the questions the way they want.
“The only hope I had was the Kate Moss collection at Topshop – which I have tried on and been disappointed with” I am beginning to wonder the possibility of a model fronting the cover of a magazine without even knowing it. For sure if it’s a well known magazine, there is no way the model wouldn’t know, and the magazine itself wouldn’t make such a blunder knowing how much it will cost them if the model in question sues. Now that brings me to the question of small magazines in other parts of the world, that the model or anyone that knows them will never get to see – is it possible? The answer is a big ‘yes’. I have seen faces of models on flyers promoting a show or competition that they know nothing about, on magazines promoting one product or another in a country where they have never set foot in, and might never do so and, talking about unknown magazines, their faces are the usual instruments used for selling them. And this makes me wonder if they ever sit down to think about this, or does it bother them at all? So, are models bothered about where their names and faces may appear in without their knowledge?
“There my photo was, fully blown up for the mag’s special fashion week introductory edition” Well, I think the answer is a yes and no depending on the influence and the earning power of the magazine, and the truth is I have never thought about it until recently where it seems as though I am always the last person on Earth to know I am in a magazine. This, normally, would have been funny to me but after three different incidences in one week, I am beginning to take it seriously. I went to a casting on Sunday, which took all day in a city five hours’ ride from London – talk about how far I will go for a job – and all the way through I noticed a group of girls staring at me. It was as though they were trying to come to terms with the fact that I was at the same casting with them. Finally, two of them walked up to me, introduced themselves and showed me my picture in the magazine they were looking at. There my photo was, fully blown up as the main photo for the magazine’s fashion week special introductory edition. Although I had never heard about this mag before, it looked classy and I liked what I saw. Now this was incident number one. As I returned home from a night out with friends the next day, I bumped into my fellow agency model and we began to chat. Just then, she mentioned she had a magazine I am featured in at home. Out of curiosity, I get a copy of the mag the next day and there it is: a two-page feature on my career so far, with great photos. Now I know this mag and remember meeting them in a couple of shows but I had absolutely no idea about the feature: incident number two. A couple of days later, I ran into a WH Smith’s to avoid the rain. To while away the time, I begin to flip through magazines. To my utmost surprise, there I am in the latest edition of Ebony magazine! I rush to the counter and buy it while still trying to believe it. Now I am flattered. But after this third incident, I am beginning to imagine where else I may have appeared without even knowing. The publicity is good but it would be more fulfilling if I knew about it, at least I could enrich my book with tear sheets of these features and boast of them. So it pains me not to know. I mean, how can I be on the shelves and not know about it? 26 latest 7
I have no problem with there being special shops for larger ladies, taller ladies, and sections for wider feet. But why is it, that if I started up my own catalogue for skinny girls I would probably get shouted at by the kind of people who do that sort of thing for promoting anorexia. I just find it slightly unfair. I sit there in jeans that hang off and a top that hides any of my female form. The only hope I had was the Kate Moss collection at Topshop – which I have tried on and been disappointed with. Each time a new season of clothes come out, the shops that do the occasional piece that fits seems to make their sizes bigger. I am not the only person with this problem. A friend of mine is just as thin. (Naturally – no disorders here – for those of you who think it just isn’t humanly possible!) She has trouble finding clothes to fit, and has also noticed that clothes appear to be growing bigger. I think this whole area is governed by a woman, who strives for the bodies seen in magazines and, after many attempts, she has found it just isn’t possible and therefore has stopped catering for this phantom size group. Just as when a larger woman can’t find a new pair of jeans to fit, it is just as disheartening when you are on the opposite end of the scale. I quite often go for a rummage in TK Maxx. It is not so much of a rummage as a scan as I look at all the hangers and try to spot a bright pink clippy thing which means the item on that hanger is a size 6. Roughly one pair in 20 jeans I try on will actually fit. And that doesn’t mean I like them! I don’t fully understand why it is socially acceptable to be a size 16 but not a size six. Just the same way a very, very large woman might get funny looks when shopping, so do I. People always presume that skinniness is due to a disorder. Some people will just always be bigger or smaller, but it seems you only get catered for if you are a woman with the perfect hour-glass figure (because that is what all those magazines cater for really). I know I have said all this before but it drives me bonkers! And what is with that advert for Coco Rocks with the cavemen? Who chose the music? Random!

Gotcha! Who’s been spotted on the streets of Brighton this week? You might just be surprised... Dont take me home Spotted! Singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor and her bass-playing husband, Richard Jones from the Feeling, with flame-haired son Sonny. The cute family were partaking in a spot of window shopping in Sydney Street.

Discovered Heart-throb singer James Morrison has moved to Hove. The Chris Martin looky-likey moved to our fair city last month and has already settled in. But you won’t see the humble award-winner tearing up and down Western Road in a flash car. He was quoted in a recent interview. “I tend to think if you don’t need it, then don’t buy it,” he says. “I bought myself a second-hand Golf GTI. I try not to be too flash. My dream car is still a 60s Mustang. They look wicked and sound amazing. But I’d have to move to America. I wouldn’t feel right driving round here.” Morrison has seen pretty much overnight success, having been the biggest-selling artist of 2006 and by the age of 21 was already touring America with his debut album Undiscovered. Now he prefers the family life – having become a dad two weeks ago – ahhh.
Designer Brighton Grand Designs presenter Kevin McCloud popped into the North Laine last week, he was helping to launch a new eco-development, One Brighton. The new build is part of the regeneration of the New England Quarter and is achingly green – hence why Mr McCloud was on hand to chat about the benefits of buying a flat!

I remember The Seven Dials. These days it’s an ungodly, bristling ragout of knick knack shops, fancy eateries, and the sort of pubs where you probably can’t get a proper pint of bitter like what a red-blooded heterosexual man would drink for love nor money. No siree. But what was it like way back before the first world war? 110 year-old Archibald Merryfeatherweather remembers... “I’m a Dials lad born and bred – brought into this world at number 73 Vernon Terrace in the year of our lord 1898. Of course the area was very different back then. For a start there were only three dials – Vernon Terrace, Goldsmid Road, and a road that isn’t there anymore that was called Steve Guttenberg Lane. They changed the name in 1987, after the release of Police

Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol – interfering busybodies, can’t leave well alone. Anyway, they changed the name to Ed Begley, Jr. Lane, but people pointed out that that was just as bad, if not more so, so after that it became Prestonville Road. Which is ironic because ‘Preston Ville’ is actually Gaelic for ‘Steve Guttenberg.’ “I’m rather an expert on the area actually – it’s a fascinating subject. In the 1600s it was the property of the Duke of Devonshire and his family, who had a factory there making little painted lead models of Robert Culp. But they went bust, due to Robert Culp not being on the telly for another three hundred and sixty years, and they had to sell the plot to Thora Hird’s character from In Loving Memory, whose name escapes me for the moment. It was her idea to have

a series of roads that were very difficult to cross, with pedestrian crossings placed at least 250 yards from where you want to go. For this she was awarded both the Legion d’Honneur and the title of Miss World in 1923. Of course the shops at the Dials are forever changing, ain’t they? Remember the Dials Cafe? I used to go there all the time, even when it was closed. Pyrex glass plates, fake stripped pine panelling – strange food they used to serve. Remember that sign that said “Len’s thick, crusty toast 20p”? Everybody used to laugh at that, ‘cos it sounded like Len had actually invented the very notion of thick, crusty toast. But what many people didn’t know is that he actually had. He also invented smart bombs. Clever bloke Len. I believe he lives on the moon now. And remember that health food shop with a slightly sketchy notion of what sort of produce a health food shop should stock, what was run by those two gay blokes? Well, that used to be a recording studio. They all recorded albums there – Al Jolson, Richard Tauber, Mel Torme, Alma Cogan, Max Bygraves, The Prodigy, Cradle Of Filth, Jive Bunny, C&C Music Factory, Winker Watson, 6 Million Dollar Gran, Colonel Blink, The Gasworks Gang, Jacky Daw, Maw and Paw, Willy Worry, AJPTaylor. They don’t make music like that anymore, I tell you. Now what a lot of people don’t know is that in the middle of the Dials there used to be a great big clock. Massive thing it was, 25 feet high, with a wonderfully embossed face and covered head to foot in gold leaf. On the hour a little door would open and a brass lever would come out with a dirty

great boot on the end, which would kick the arse of a fellow whose job it was to stand by and hourly receive said kick up the arse, whereupon he would announce the time in a loud, clear voice. Now it was my job to wind the clock, for which I was paid the princely sum of a tuppence a decade, which was a lot of money back then. Unfortunately, one day I was unavoidably detained by my wife’s funeral, and arrived two seconds late for the winding, with the result that the boot missed its intended target and instead planted itself firmly in the Lord Mayor’s face, knocking his false teeth down his throat and breaking his nose in eleven places. Of course, he wasn’t best pleased, and he was a hard man and quick to anger. But when I explained about my wife’s untimely demise, he took pity on me, and decided not to kill me after all, which was very decent of him in the circumstances. Instead, as punishment, he ordered me to be super-glued to the chalk cliffs at Lewes with an escalator placed next to me for a number of specially-invited local dignitaries in evening dress who all took turns to – (Continued on page 98.)

ARIES (MAR 21–APR 20)
CANCER (JUNE 22–JULY 22)
LIBRA (SEP 23–OCT 22)
CAPRICORN (DEC 21–JAN 19).
Interior tips for zippy little Aries. Your bold and youthful approach to life should inspire you to use bold colours and strong motifs. Avoid swastikas but definitely go for red.
Confident Cancer can make their presence felt without being overpowering. When it comes to your own environment to curb the instinct for pearly whites, step out with red.
Balance is everything in the Libran world. Never one lamp, two, never one plant, a pair… With colours find two that work well together, I suggest a rich maroon with dash of bright red.
The sturdy sign, the chesterfield of the astral plane, leathery and deep studded with solid padding and stout legs. To be frank you would look silly in anything other than a deep red room.
TAURUS (APR 21–MAY 21)
LEO (JULY 23–AUG 22)
SCORPIO (OCT 23–NOV 21)
AQUARIUS (JAN 20–FEB 19)
Taureans know what they like and usually get it. Confident and assured you surround yourself with creature comforts and luxury. The colour for Taureans everywhere is red.
Proud Leo has no fear of making a big statement. Strong ideas need strong expressions and whilst yellow could do the trick, why compromise, fiery vermillion will be better or even red.
You can always tell when a Scorpio walks into a room, the atmosphere simply throbs with confidence. Scorpio is fearless, Scorpio is bold, scorpio is a winner, Scorpio IS red.
Inventive, innovative, cutting edge… Aquarians are the creative sign and always prepared to go that extra mile. To be honest, a free pallete would be dangerous in your hands, stick to red.
GEMINI (MAY 22–JUNE 21)
VIRGO (AUG 23–SEP 22)
SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22–DEC 20)
PISCES (FEB 20–MAR 20)
Geminis are the fashionistas of the astral world, trendy and stylish and always up for something hot. Be bold. Face it, you could manage with pink but you really want red. Go for it.
Start out by de-cluttering. Throw away all those knick-knacks and trinkets, sweep away the detritus and start afresh. Avoid the stereotypical whites. Might I suggest a slash of blood red?
As time trots on Sagis and your world, your skin and your hair get grey do us all a favour. Ditch the pastels against which you will disappear and choose a stark contrasting hue, a good solid red.
Our little fishy star sign will usually go with the flow, straight to Bardsleys where all is clean and white. Why not break the mould and order a red mullet by way of a red herring.

COVERSTORY
Laugh a minute Magners Paramount Comedy Festival Brighton 4–25 October 2008 Get ready to be tickled pink, have a hoot, giggle yourself silly and laugh until your sides split, the UK’s very best comedians are coming to town. From 4–25 October, The Magners Paramount Comedy Festival Brighton returns to the Brighton Dome for three weeks of hilarity and is set to be the biggest and funniest festival yet!
Kicking off the festival in inimitable style is Never Mind the Buzzcocks team captain Bill Bailey and his Remarkable Guide to The Orchestra. For many years, Bill has included music in his comedy performances and this show is an irreverent guide to the instruments of the orchestra. The Times has described this unique evening as ‘blissfully funny’ while Stephen Fry described it as ‘wonderfully enjoyable‘ ‘like driving a Rolls-Royce off-road’. Festival regular Jimmy Carr brings his dry and sardonic one-liners to a whole new level in his brand new live tour, Joke Technician. As Jimmy says, “This show is exactly the same as last year’s except every single word. It’s rude, crude and offensive, but those aren’t the only reasons you’ll enjoy it.”
Dara O Briain
Now in its seventh year, England’s premier event solely devoted to comedy is again offering a fantastic line-up of top comic talent. Comedians appearing during the festival include the caustic and risqué Frankie Boyle, the madcap and high octane Lee Evans [at the Brighton Centre], and fresh from winning digital TV channel Dave’s funniest joke of the Edinburgh Festival Award, Brighton’s very own Zoe Lyons. Also appearing and performing for the gala evening in aid of Sussex Beacon, is current TV hot property and host of the Sunday Night Project, Alan Carr.

loved vintage Minchin classics. Audiences should bring their best rock star sunglasses and prepare to be dazzled by Minchin’s stellar talent as he confronts all the issues of the day: sex, death, dancing bears and ginger body hair. With all these fantastic performers and so many more appearing throughout October in three central venues – The Brighton Dome, Corn Exchange and Pavilion Theatre, there really is something to tickle everyone’s funny bone! Tickets are available from www.brightondome.org or call 01273 709 709. www.paramountcomedyfestival.com
Hilarious host of BBC2’s Mock the Week, Dara O Briain returns to the festival. Renowned for his topical humour, storytelling and relentless delivery, his show brings together hilarious anecdotes and top-class audience banter. Among other things, Dara will be taking joy in the death of a magician, discovering a naked man in his hotel room and protesting over the on-going war on bacteria.

Justice walk
Lord Phillips
It’s not every day you see the Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales in a mini protest march on the streets of Brighton. But that is what some may say Lord Phillips of Worth Matravers will be doing at 5pm on Thursday this week (25 September). He and dozens of others from the legal professions are calling it a sponsored walk for charity but some watching proceedings from the pavements might say there will more to it than that, including a subtle kick up the rear for the Government. New fixed-fees for handling legal aid cases have cut potential income for lawyers and that, tied with mountains of bureaucracy involved in the legal aid system, have driven many law firms out of the legal aid business. Charity-reliant legal advice services are trying to fill the gap and that is where the walk and fundraising come in. There are five 10 kilometre walks taking place with the aim of raising much-needed cash for legal advice charities.

“This event stems from the reduced funding for legal aid from the Govenment“ There are several legal advice charities across the country including Law Centres and pro-bono (taking the case for no fee but for the public good) units whose aims are to help those who cannot afford to pay for legal advice on such matters as debt, homelessness and community care. In Brighton, the charity helping those people is the Brighton Housing Trust which focuses mainly on issues surrounding housing and immigration. There are currently more than a dozen teams, including several local solicitors offices, barrister chambers, and a team from the courts and tribunal services, taking part in the Brighton to Hove walk, but Julian Hunt, newly chosen President of the Sussex Law Society, wants more.
Julian Hunt
He said: “We want to raise as much money as possible. “This event stems from the reduced funding for legal aid from the Government and for the need to help charitable agencies like the Brighton Housing Trust to enable them to provide legal advice now there are fewer law firms able to help. “Some firms have left the legal aid system because of the substantial cut in funding and because of the bureaucracy involved. “This has left a huge burden on the charities and puts into question the idea of ‘justice for all’.” Mr Hunt will be joining the walk along side Lord Phillips, district judges David Pollard and Linda Nightingale, and Judge Keith Hollis. The walk starts at the Edward Street courts, east along the seafront to East Brighton Golf Course and Ovingdean, back to Brighton city centre and Crown Row Chambers in Church Street. Anyone wishing to take part should contact Bob Nightingale on 01372810466.
A dog’s for life Hundreds of Staffordshire Bull Terriers are being let loose on the streets because the breed has gone out of fashion. Five were recovered in Brighton and Hove in just one day and now the RSPCA is having to set quotas on how many it takes in to avoid being overwhelmed by the one type of dog. Spokeswoman Klare Kennett said the breed became popular with “hoody” owners because of its muscular appearance and allegedly tough nature. She said: “It became a sort of fashion accessory for hoodies but it has now become not so trendy and we are taking in many found abandoned. Every one of our centres around the country is looking for new homes for them. “One third of all the dogs we are housing at some of our centres are Staffies. We have now set a limit on the numbers we take in because we could find our centres full up with them.” Ms Kennett said 80 per cent of 30 latest 7
RSPCA prosecutions concern Staffordshire Bull Terriers and she blamed “hoody” owners who mistreat or abandon them. “It is a great shame because we can re-train aggressive Staffies and they do make wonderful family pets.” A finder of one of the five dogs picked up in Brighton and Hove said: “This is the second I have found and handed in recently. It’s the chavs’ choice of dogs but they just dump them when they no longer serve a purpose.” A city council spokeswoman said: “Our animal welfare officers have seen a big increase in numbers being let loose on the streets. “The problem is now so common that local animal shelters won't take any more. It's such a shame as
Staffies are really lovely, loyal and affectionate dogs but do need to go to experienced owners who will not allow them to dominate the household. "They are the latest in a long line of breeds that have suffered the same fate after becoming trendy. Before Staffies, it was Rottweilers but they too went out of fashion.” The RSPCA said recovered Staffordshire Bull Terriers which bite often have to be put down because they can’t be re-homed. But those with just aggressive tendencies will be retrained and can make excellent pets. Animal welfare officers in Brighton and Hove are now looking for new homes for the five dogs – two males and three bitches – and the RSPCA is constantly in need of people to take in dogs.
The spokeswoman said there had been an increase in the number of other breeds of dogs being abandoned and the fear is that the economic downturn is forcing people to cut their outgoings including money they spend on looking after pets. She said: “Dogs we normally would have expected to be claimed within a few days are being left and we are having to find new homes for them. “We are pretty sure this is down to the credit crunch and owners are finding themselves unable to afford vets bills, insurance and food. “If this is the case then we fully expect this problem will get worse.” Anyone wanting to adopt a dog should contact the city council animal welfare officers or RSPCA.

Sporting chance City College has announced the launch of a new sports department starting this month. This is a first for the college and the city of Brighton and Hove, and marks the start of an exciting future for the college. Luke Hampton, who will be managing the department, says: “Sport will be central to the growth of the college over the next few years, and along with our involvement with the Community Stadium at Falmer, students with an interest in sports will enjoy the benefits for many years to come.” The announcement of the new department has been welcomed by Councillor David Smith, who is responsible for Culture, Tourism, Recreation and Sport at Brighton and Hove City Council. Cllr Smith says: “I think this is a marvellous development for the city. It gives the opportunity for local people to take an active role in sport, while gaining skills, that will help them find employment doing something that they’re passionate about.”
A solid build Brighton and Hove City Council leader Mary Mears creates strong foundations I often think that the job of any city council is a bit like building a house. A house, you see, might look good with attractive window dressing, a well-manicured lawn and a thatched roof but it is nothing without sturdy, solid foundations. Similarly, it would be pointless for Brighton and Hove City Council to be involved in so many wonderful cultural and environmental projects if we were not also obsessed with getting the basics right. This week, we’re considering two key ‘foundation’ issues – first, the question of the maintenance of the city’s council housing and, secondly, the question of how rubbish will be collected. Back in February 2007, the council balloted residents on whether they would like their homes to continue to be owned and managed by the council. The overwhelming majority of residents said they would. While it was important to continue to be responsible for residents, it did pose the question of how best to fund the improvements to people’s homes. On Thursday 25 September, my Cabinet colleagues will consider a method of raising the resources needed to improve the housing stock by setting up a housing company, or ‘local delivery vehicle’. The creation of a housing company would allow the council to access greater funding to realise our aspiration of improving residents’ homes. Under the proposal, we would begin the leased transfer of up to 499 vacant properties to the ‘vehicle’ over a five-year period. In return the council would be able to access an extra £45 million to spend on maintenance, repairs and improvements to residents’ homes. If agreed, the council will draw up a framework for how the ‘local delivery vehicle’ would operate – but, either way, we’ll keep you informed of our decision.
If you would like to comment on these stories please email news@thelatest.co.uk
The second ‘foundation’ issue is about waste – both collection and disposal. I am pleased to say that the council has found a way to make our collection service more efficient and cost-effective, making more of your money. However, the improvements do mean that collection times for many Brighton and Hove residents will change during the week beginning, 6 October. Postcards informing people of their new collection day will be sent out this week to all households affected. The changes, which do not affect recycling collections, follow the completion of work on the new waste transfer station at Hollingdean. The new site means that council waste collections no longer have to take waste all the way to the landfill site at Beddingham, near Lewes, but only have to make a short trip to the council’s new purpose-built facility. The result is a significant saving in journey times and costs for Cityclean, but it does mean that collection days and times for around 121,000 households in the city will have to be re-organised. We are working hard to ensure these changes are introduced as smoothly as possible. We are putting on extra top-up collections teams on stand-by and, as ever, we’ll do our best to keep you informed about any developments. latest 7 31

Clampdown on boards Following last week’s news announcement that estate agents’ ‘For Sale’ and ‘To Let’ boards are to be stopped in some conservation areas across the city, we were inundated with views from local estate agents on what this new legislation means to them. To have your say, email letters@thelatest.co.uk or write to us. Comments from local Estate Agents:
The irony It’s highly ironic that this ‘clampdown’ is being proposed by Councillor Geoffery Theobald, who is the son of a very successful and influential Brighton estate agent, the late Stanley Theobald. George White’s had sign boards all over Brighton and Hove. It is more than ironic then, that Councillor Theobald, having undoubtedly benefited considerably from his late father’s success is now wishing to deny the same opportunity to the next generations. Name and address supplied
There are worse eyesores… We at the Brighton and Hove Estate Agents Association also feel strongly about this, and we sent a letter to the council which was actually read at their meeting, but nevertheless they decided to press on with their plans for an outright ban on boards. If the clampdown had only been “in parts of the historic city centre” we might have viewed it differently, but this proposed ban covers the entire southern part of the city from the Marina to Sackville Road. I accept that where there are boards put up in contravention of the regulations it does not look good, but we invited the council to help us to stamp that practice out, and they declined. Why solely pick on residential estate agents, when there are many things other than estate agents boards in the historic city centre that are “real eyesores”, but we do not see the council dealing with them.

Speed Days event in Eastbourne Riders from all over the world whizzed down the new super-fast Beachy Head road on the 12, 13 and 14 September, as Canadian Scott ‘Scoot’ Smith claimed his third International Gravity Sports Association (IGSA) World Cup Series win of the year at Eastbourne’s Go Fast! Speed Days. Riders came from across the globe to compete in the second-ever UK leg of the IGSA World Cup event, with 160 competitors travelling from as far as Australia, Brazil and the USA to take part. Thousands of spectators cheered on some of the world’s top gravity sportsmen and women over the three-day event, with the youngest competitor aged just seven, and the oldest an admirable 57 years old. With just two races remaining in the 2008 World Cup series, ‘Scoot’ looks set to take the crown with three wins now under his belt. Great Britain’s own Pete Connolly scooped second place in Sunday’s final, with his best-ever timing on home soil, and Norway’s Christopher Sanne took third position on the finishing line. The free event also saw a very special competitor race down the recently resurfaced Beachy Head road on Friday, as Blue Peter’s newest presenter, Helen Skelton tried her hand at downhill skateboarding. Taking tips on the world’s most dangerous gravity sport from former world champion, Michael Stride, the daring presenter successfully skated all the way down the 1.5km course. Blue Peter fans can watch Helen’s feat when the episode airs on Tuesday 23 September. Kris Yule, director of Go Fast! Sports UK said “Go Fast! Speed Days 2008 was a great event in a spectacular location with some of the world’s best speed racers enjoying the Eastbourne course and looking forward to returning in 2009.” For more information on Go Fast!

In many ways I agree with the council’s views on ‘For Sale’ and ‘Sold’ boards. There are so many sales and letting agents in Brighton and Hove, and all are in competition with each other for business, and a board is a great 24-hour advertisment, but for whom? Traditionally a board was there to advertise a property ‘For Sale’ whether it be a house or flat in a block. The laws state one post only with one board ‘Sole Agency’ or one post with two agents boards back to back on that one post ‘Multi Agency’. If another property comes on the market in the same block, no more posts can go up, that is the law. These laws are broken almost daily by a minority of agents, who ignore this and see a ‘For Sale’ board or ‘Sold’ board as a promotion of their own company and nothing else. This is why when driving round you can see sometimes four, sometimes five boards outside one property, and this looks particularly bad in the areas where the council are planning to ban them. The real main problem is after a property is sold or let out, and the new owners/tenants have moved in, boards can be left up for weeks, even months. Pure self-promotion and nothing else – that agent wants to be seen as the main agent for the area – by not removing boards. As I write this letter I can see a ‘Sold’ board on a property that completed over three months ago and still it is up there! So in many ways some agents have themselves to blame, if they had adhered to the law, then this scenario would never have happened. If the council threatened to fine agents who abused the laws almost half the ‘For Sale’ and ‘Sold’ boards would disappear overnight. Then the proposed areas would not look so cluttered with boards and perhaps a ban would never have been proposed. I feel a blanket ban would not be a bad thing and would give all agents a fair playing field. Let’s face it, the internet and publications such as Latest Homes are the main medium of advertising now, and a board helps identify the property for the viewer, and very rarely does a property sell just from a board.

ANDREW KAY’S FOOD&DRINK
Down with MSG Andrew Kay enjoys an additive-free feast at China Inn in Hove
We nibbled on prawn crackers and sipped Tsing Tao while we waited, but we didn’t wait for long before dishes started to arrive. First out, some tempura prawns, crisp and light and dry with a light sauce. Then one of my favourites, grilled pork dumplings. They’re home made, you can see that, and they are simply delicious. I could eat the whole portion myself but resist. Some green-lipped mussels are served with a bean sauce and finally a plate of fat scallops lightly steamed in their shells and very delicately fragranced. Obviously very fresh, they are a real highlight. My own personal food allergy put paid to the next dish, I’m embarrassed to say, but Mr E raved about the fresh pineapple rice served in the hollowed out fruit shell. I was quite content with a small portion of much plainer rice. The chef has a bit of a thing about fruit and the next dish was honey prawns with melon, again served in the fruit. It sounded unusual but was completely delicious and I must say that the absence of MSG was quite apparent leaving the fresh fruit and succulent prawns to sing out loud. We both agreed, this food was packed with flavour, subtler than your average Chinese meal but far, far, better, the flavour of the ingredients taking centre stage rather than the odd savoury twang of chemical enhancers. So, on the subtler dishes there was an obvious improvement, but how would a stronger dish fare? Well sizzling steak with black beans proved that this is the right route to go. The bean sauce was good, rich and savoury, but it did not mask the flavour of the beef, if anything it lifted it. I made a serious dent in some excellent crisp noodles and might well have polished off the lot had I not spotted a huge platter with a fat steamed sea bass making its way across the room. I had presumed it was for us and I was very glad when it landed on our table. Sea bass is the ubiquitous fish of the 2000s and I sometimes tire of seeing it on menus. But this was well worth ordering, light, delicate and falling easily from the bone. There was a subtle hint of lemon, but above all we could taste the fish. So no MSG meant masses of real flavours, a new subtlety and one that they assure me is far closer to Oriental home cooking where the use of flavour enhancers is scorned. In a final act of rebellion Mr E ordered a frozen pineapple dessert. I reeled in horror but thrilled to a good espresso, yes, real coffee in a Chinese restaurant and not some boiled brown liquid. The idea behind China Inn is excellent, the food more than matched the intentions and we left very happy, very full and very prepared to recommend this new Hove eatery. China Inn, 68 Portland Road, Hove, East Sussex, BN3 5DL. Call: 01273 227701. Visit: china-inn.co.uk
Regular readers may have spotted that I have an intolerance. Not a food intolerance, no, but an intolerance of people who cling to the flimsy notion that they have food intolerances. I remember well the agony of cooking for a party of people who between them included a dairy intolerance, a nut allergy, a wheat intolerance and a vegan. They loved their glasses of chilled water. Of course I accept that there are people who do have problems, but some of us are kidding no one. The one thing I have always felt was a genuine problem was the profligate use of monosodium glutamate in Oriental cuisine. So rife is it that we probably have all eaten huge amounts of it, it’s not only in Chinese foods but it’s in a lot of the processed food on supermarket shelves, so beware.
“The absence of MSG was quite apparent leaving the fresh fruit and succulent prawns to sing out” At China Inn the owners have decided to ditch the MSG and cook without it. It’s a big move as many Chinese restaurants depend on packaged or frozen products that all contain MSG, things like dumplings and spring rolls. The kitchen has to make all these things in house, including sauces. So, is it all worth while, can you taste the difference, and does it taste as good? Well, I am delighted to report that it doesn’t taste as good, it tastes a whole lot better! I joined Mr E for an early supper but before long a few other tables filled up and there was a brisk trade in carry outs. The people of Poets’ Corner are clearly a discerning lot. I employed my usual technique and left the ordering to Linda, the lady behind the restaurant. Any good Chinese restaurant will put together a balanced meal for you, and not one simply packed with high-priced dishes.

Purrfect Andrew Kay stops for lunch at Bar Lion d’Or in George Street, Hove This job takes me from one end of the city to the other and I often find myself in far-flung corners in need of lunch. I am not a sandwich lover but I also like to watch the pennies so finding an appropriately priced meal can be a bit of a chore. Last week in Hove I popped in to Bar Lion d’Or for a spot of lunch with a friend. The décor is lush, the atmosphere relaxed and the service was prompt. A quick skate across the menu and we both found something to take our fancy. To start we shared a platter of crisp fried foods, tempura vegetables, spring rolls, two kinds of prawns and sauces to dip. To be honest it was a little too large for a shared starter at lunchtime but excellent value. Mr E took no time in choosing a saltbeef sandwich and when it arrived I looked on with envy. It was quite definitely the business with all of the appropriate trimmings and a pile of salad. Mr E was delighted that the dill pickle had been served on the side as, despite him liking them, they do not like him. I had been tempted by the rarebit, the lady to my left had it and it looked delicious, topped with crisp bacon, but in the end I chose the chicken breast in tarragon sauce with rice which for around £6 was certainly excellent value, the same price as starters in some places. There was exactly the right amount too, a good portion of rice, plenty of lean chicken breast and a creamy sauce that was streaked with fresh tarragon leaves. I admit to having a lunchtime beer too, wicked I know but very welcome. Too full for dessert we had coffee – Mr E an americano and a double shot espresso for me that was not only very tasty but also piping hot and that is a rarity. I would certainly go back, perhaps sticking to one course at lunch, but no doubt indulging in a few more drinks in the evening. Bar Lion D’or, George Street, Hove, BN3 3YA, 01272 327183

Under review Here’s our round up of recent local shows, plus there’s oodles of reviews online at www.thelatest.co.uk Noises Off Three cheers for Theatre Royal Brighton and their new production of the Michael Frayn classic comedy. The play, an evening of breakneck comedy that takes the format of classic farce to the extreme was pulled off with a great deal of charm and skill. Having seen the play four times before, my expectations lay in the performances rather than the script and I am happy to say that they more than matched up. Maggie Steed proved once again that she has exquisite comic timing and a catalogue of comic expressions to match. The rest of the cast were equally up to both the mark and the speed required to execute act two convincingly. I laughed throughout. Theatre Royal Brighton, 11 September ✌✌✌✌✌
Fresh from winning Funniest Joke at Edinburgh, Lyons cracked open the laughs effortlessly – despite a hangover. My favourite guest was Shelley Cooper, a witty, vivacious, transgendered lady of a certain age who had plenty to say and the expertise and experience to deliver it. By contrast, young bisexual Simon O’Keefe seemed hesitant, inexperienced and made a few clangers. Perhaps he’ll improve with age. We ended with mime artists Raymond and Mr Timpkins Revue whose ridiculous word play using hand-held cards was perfect for a tipsy crowd in a silly mood. Komedia, 7 September ✌✌✌✌

The highlight was Musical Youth, the dutchie was passed on the left hand side with timeless effort, and Bob Marley’s ‘One Love’ cover was fab.

Tindersticks It’s been ages, but Stuart Staples’ band of (not so) merry men’s Brighton return was triumphant. Playing an hour and a half set (though the adoring audience would have sat through double), a great mix of cathartic, quieter, older songs and the more in-your-face Hungry Saw-era, Tindersticks holds a packed congregation in quasireligious trance. Staples’ seductive baritone stood tall beside the rich, velvety brass and anchoring, melancholy synth organ. A quality set, including the lush ‘She’s Gone’, a rare live outing for early number ‘The Not Knowing’ and the brilliant ‘Say Goodbye To The City’, left a lasting memory of a special night.

STAND-UP COMEDY
ART
A laughing matter Victoria Nangle discovers that difficult times can lead to great moments of comedy. Head to Paramount and see... In times of belt tightening – as we are persistently told we are in the middle of now – traditionally speaking your man, woman or alien on the street has looked for a mental escape from their day-to-day troubles and limitations. Stewart Lee admitted recently to being “the maggot on the festering wound that is the people on the dog that is the current economy”. Graphic, but conveys the point. Comedy night’s prosper in times of difficulty. It’s tradition. The cinema does well, theatre does well – really, the arts that provide an escape from the world are a more frequented sanctuary than in mellower times. And they’re a rockin’ place to be. With the Paramount Comedy Festival just literally around the corner and the Comedy Fringe Festival fast on its tails, it hardly needs to be said that in terms of places to see the lighter side of life there’s no great shortage. Whether it’s rough and ready like a Brendan Burns shot or sweet and cuddly as a Josie Long toddie, you’ll find something to whet your whistle and dull the nasty sensation of summer departing and autumn demanding you dig out your winter coat.
“Whether it’s rough and ready like a Brendan Burns shot or sweet and cuddly as a Josie Long toddie, you’ll find something to whet your whistle” Traditionally, this is the time when SAD (Seasonal Affected Disorder) starts boinking all and sundry on the head too, when the tourists start to dry up and mates stop insisting on sleeping on your floor for a weekend at the seaside. As life slows down it can be a little flattening. I, for one, am thrilled that the city I live in has this many high quality distractions to shout at me that I’m doing fine and dandy, thank you very much. And it’s not to say distraction is the same as ignoring any problems. However, just as equally it’s not to say that simply because someone says you’re in trouble that you are. Taking a step back and having a laugh and a break can actually clear your eyes when it’s time to take a second look at what bugs you. I, for one, am going to see loads of shows to ease me nicely into the chillier months and the winter season. As I may have mentioned before, it’s tradition that with every big Brighton festival I come down with some form of lurgy, so I’m cracking open the vitamins and opening my mind to new voices to help me with the transition. Vitamin cheers, mates! Paramount Comedy Festival can be found at www.paramountcomedyfestival.com and and the Brighton Comedy Fringe at www.otherplaceproductions.co.uk

STAGE
Tigers and tutus Roar with delight at Angelina Ballerina and dance with joy at Sophies teatime guest Angelina Ballerina, the little star with big dreams, takes to the stage at Theatre Royal Brighton with the English National Ballet in her first live ballet Angelina’s Star Performance. With a cast of English National Ballet’s dancers, Angelina’s Star Performance offers a unique introduction for boys and girls aged 3 and up to experience their first live ballet. Angelina’s Star Performance is based on author Katherine Holabird’s and illustrator Helen Craig’s successful and timeless book Angelina At The Palace which follows Angelina as she prepares to stage her own performance of The Sleeping Beauty at the request of the Queen in her splendid palace. She even has a real life Princess, Princess Valentine, to star alongside her in the show. It’s Angelina’s biggest challenge yet… will she manage to pull it off?
The Tiger Who Came To Tea is based on the picture book written and illustrated by Judith Kerr and has been adapted for the stage with songs and lyrics by David Wood. Now for the first time ever, this classic story of Sophie and her extraordinary teatime guest will come to life at Theatre Royal Brighton. The doorbell rings just as Sophie and her mummy are sitting down to tea. Who could it possibly be? What they certainly don’t expect to see at the door is a big, stripy tiger! The enduringly popular tale of a tiger creating teatime mayhem is brought to the stage in a show packed with magic, sing-a-long songs and clumsy chaos. Judith Kerr’s The Tiger Who Came To Tea is one of the bestselling and best-loved picture books of all time. Since it was first published in 1968, it has sold over four million copies worldwide and is translated in over 20 different languages. October 2008 is the 40th anniversary of The Tiger Who Came To Tea. Judith is also renowned for another of her feline creations, Mog. Mog books have also featured on bestseller lists for the

Dir: Baltasar Kormakur Based on the bestselling novel by Icelandic crime writer Arnaldur Indridason, this stunning film follows detective Erlendur as he investigates the murder of a lowlife. Erlendur soon discovers that there may be greater forces at play as a local father mourning his dead daughter obsessively searches for information on the origin of the disease. These two stories dramatically converge as the director of 101 Reykjavik weaves a multilayered narrative with a deliciously sharp eye for detail. Showing at Duke of York’s Craig Driver

Dir: Phillipe Claudel Claudel’s excellent debut won two prizes at this year’s Berlin Film Festival. This breathtaking tale of two sisters who rebuild their relationship after years apart is sweetly mesmerising. Kristin Scott-Thomas excels as Juliette, a fragile woman just released from prison. Racked by years of guilt, Juliette goes to stay with her younger sister and young family. As the sisters rediscover a way of relating to each other this intelligent ensemble piece builds towards a powerful conclusion. Showing at Duke of York’s
Director: Isaac Julien British iconoclast Derek Jarman is revisited with warmth and a rare sincerity in this documentary. Pieced together from unseen interviews and out-takes this film amounts to a fascinating reinvigoration of Jarman’s legacy. One of the great poetic filmmakers Jarman devoted his life to his craft. With extensive use of home movies and other recordings this film brings us closer to the man. Starring and narrated by Jarman’s close friend and collaborator Tilda Swinton this is an intoxicating artistic adventure. Showing at Duke of York’s

Dir: Jon Avnet Robert De Niro and Al Pacino finally team up for an entire film in this cagey cop thriller. After sharing a brief but brilliant scene in Michael Mann’s Heat way back in 1995 the two cinematic super gods play ageing cops working to identify a connection between a recent murder and a case they believe they solved years ago. With a script by Russell Gewirtz and co-starring 50 Cent, Brian Dennehy and New Kids on the Block twit Donnie Whalberg this is assured if not a little contrived. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon

Dir: Terry Gilliam Billed as an explosive pop-culture adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson’s 1971 cult book this is a drink-and-drugfuelled road trip to Las Vegas. Taking the lead is a shaven-headed Johnny Depp alongside his grizzly mess of a lawyer played by Benicio del Toro. Along for the ride are Cameron Diaz, James Woods, Christina Ricci, and Tobey Maguire as a terrified hitchhiker. Former Python and maverick director Terry Gilliam helms this demented dissection of the American Dream with an often chaotic charm. Showing at Duke of York’s Craig Driver

FILM
I’m in love with my car Latest 7 talks to Jason Statham about his lead role in 70s remake Death Race Which cars did you take out on the track? The Mustang was by far the first choice. It was one of the reasons I was so excited about doing the film. Bullitt was one of my favourites films; I love the McQueen movies and he gets to drive the old VA5 spec. Death Race must have been a dream job… Yes, of course, you go hurtling round the track with guns and ejector seats at your disposal. You know I remember Goldfinger. That’s the first time I’d ever seen an ejector seat in a car. Awesome, lots of fun. That’s classic. With Death Race I just love the look of the cars. The armour in there is great. German cars with antiaircraft bloody guns. There are 50-calibre machine guns on the hood there. We had a technical guy who came in and told us about all the damage some of these machine guns do.
You must’ve fired a fair few machine guns during your career. Do you still get a kick out of it? Oh, yes. There’s a shooting school about one hour from L.A and I’ve got a friend who was the armourer for Crank. He’s got a Class 3 licence, and there aren’t many people who have those. So that means we can shoot everything, Uzis, pump-action shotguns, you name it. You go there with a suitcase full of ammunition and just fire way into the hills. It’s the one of the best kicks in the world. Boys will be boys, eh? You visited Corcoran high security prison to get a feel of incarceration before you shot the film. How was that? It was quite worrying. There was this fella, a mass murderer. He’d done X amount of decapitations on the outside, and he’d done
Also showing… A quick look at what’s on this week Hancock (12A) Dir: Peter Berg A chance to bring the sprog along in case you missed this actioner first time round. The blockbuster super hero genre has needed this kick up the ass for a while now, so it’s good to see cultish director Peter Berg’s irreverent take on the crime-fighting business. Will Smith plays alcoholic hero Hancock, who, after a series of high profile embarrassments, hires Jason Bateman’s PR person to help improve his public image. With Charlize Theron as the woman both men want to be with, this should be a fresh, funny send-up with Smith looking like a memorable anti-hero. Showing at Duke of York’s Hellboy II: The Golden Army (12A) Dir: Guillermo Del Toro Mike Mignola’s cult comic book anti-hero makes a welcome return to the big screen. Looking to continue the trend of big-budget super-folk blockbusters getting better by the second film, The Golden Army pits Big Red (Ron Perlman), Liz (Selma Blair) and Abe Sapien (Pan’s Labyrinth’s Doug Jones)
against a whole horde of mythical beasties. With the huge success of Mexican director Del Toro’s fantasy horror Pan’s Labyrinth, he’s been given free reign for his impressively out-there imagination to run wild. Del Toro’s set to direct the eagerly anticipated film versions of The Hobbit, so catch an early glimpse here of his take on mythology. Showing at Odeon Mamma Mia! (PG) Dir: Phyllida Lloyd A young woman searches for her real father whilst singing along to ‘Dancing Queen’, ‘Mamma Mia’ and other hits by Swedish super-troopers Abba. Meryl Streep plays the kookie mum with Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgård and Pierce Brosnan as the potential dads. The long-running and everpopular stage musical finally makes its way onto the big screen. Showing at Cineworld, Odeon and Worthing Pineapple Express (15) Dir: David Gordon Green Knocked Up and Superbad star Seth Rogen
several on the inside. He was in a bit of a bad way, because he was in a medical ward and I think they were just giving him a bit of relief time because he was on his last legs. But he was one mean mother and the warder was sort of tapping on the window to get his attention and he came up to the glass. He looked — and he’d got these really cold, dark murderer’s eyes — and he said: “I know who you are. Do you know who you look like? Jason Statham”’ And we went: “How the hell does he know that?” I’m probably on his list! You got really beefed up for this film. Were you tempted to keep the same body shape and punishing regime once the film was done? Nah. It’s hard to keep that up. You go bananas. There’s no booze, there’s no sugar, there’s no refined carbohydrates so it’s a real testing time and to try to keep up that regime for the period of a movie let alone what I’ve done, is bloody hard. You just have to go and hang up the gloves and order a pizza. Saying that, while it’s difficult, you do feel good. There are benefits of doing something as strict as what I did for Death Race, I do recommend it to anyone, but you do have to have a reason to go that deep. You need an incentive.
continues his ascent to the big screen geek hero above all others in this stoner-action-buddycomedy. Rogen plays waster Dale with Spiderman brooder James Franco as his dealer Saul, admirably playing against type in madcap fashion. When Dale witnesses a murder, he and Saul go on the run, providing an interesting spin on the action genre all the way. Showing at Odeon and Cineworld RocknRolla (15) Dir: Guy Ritchie The one time hot young property of Brit cinema has weathered a tide of criticism following his marriage to Madge and the massive flops Swept Away and Revolver, so Guy Ritchie’s got a lot to prove with this return. Back on familiar Lock, Stock cockney underworld territory, Ritchie once again gathers a decent ensemble cast including Scot’s beefcake Gerard Butler, an almost unrecognisable Tom Wilkinson and The Wire’s Idris Elba in this Nuts-friendly crime caper. Showing at Odeon and Cineworld Sex and the City (15) Dir: Michael Patrick King That rarest of beasts, the true chick-flick blockbuster, swoops in as Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda’s long-awaited big screen debut. Picking up where the series ended, with Carrie engaged to her Mr Big. Needless to say there’ll be complications on
the way to Carrie’s big day. Expect everything from the series, plus all the best fashions as Sarah Jessica Parker and co square up to the Hollywood big-boys for one hell of a brawl. Showing at Odeon Tropic Thunder (15) Dir: Ben Stiller 2008’s been the year Robert Downey Jr’s completed his long comeback from drugaddled oblivion. What with his star turn in Iron Man and now reputedly stealing Ben Stiller’s comedy thunder as uber-method actor Kirk Lazarus in this, Stiller’s pet project, Downey Jr’s reached a new level of boxoffice appeal. The two men, alongside fratpacker Jack Black and a strong support cast including Nick Nolte and Steve Coogan, play a war film’s cast and crew who accidentally stumble into a real-life war zone. Mercilessly lampooning Hollywood star vanity and serious actor pretension, Tropic Thunder has proved controversial across the pond due to its liberal use of the word ‘retard’ and the sight of a fully blacked up Downey Jr, but by all reports it’s a blend of smart satire, low brow laughs and dazzling star quality.

NEWS Brighton City Festival Underworld
Back after a successful launch last year, and held over three days the Brighton City Festival is predominatly a dance music festival but with a strong emphasis on live music. Underworld are the main headliners this year, and Brand New Heavies, Kissy Sell Out and Courtney Pine will also be playing live. DJs include Yoda, Jeff Mills, Krush, Squarepusher and soundsystems will be brought in courtesy of Jah Shaka, LCD and Nightmares on Wax. One ticket gets you into all shows taking place on the Thursday while events on Friday and Saturday are individually ticketed. And apparently, someone or other from Kraftwerk will also be spinning some discs… Brighton City Festival, 23-25 October www.brightoncityfestival.com
Brighton Sings The Brighton Early Music Festival returns with their annual festival this October but with the added mission of getting Brighton and Hove singing. Over the next three years they are looking to form four new vocal groups and to build singing skills for all ages and levels of experience. This year they are forming the new Sing Brighton! Starter Choir for those who have never sung in a choir before or who might be a bit rusty. The festival has received a grant of £90,000 from Arts Council England to provide access to many free and subsidised events for the public. www.bremf.org.uk
Win cycles Brighton Live headliners Gloria Cycles speak to Nick Aldwinckle Unless you count Limp Bizkit (which no-one should), you don’t get successful bands deriving their names from biscuit tins. One of Brighton Live 2008’s headlining acts, the fast-rising Gloria Cycles, got their name from a container hanging up in the city’s Basketmaker’s Arms pub. Perhaps the Brighton band showcase’s most likely success story, they’re set to buck that trend. Difficult to categorise (always the mark of a good band), Gloria Cycles mix the intelligent guitar jinglejangle of Young Knives (a band they’ve played alongside many times) with the gentler, quietly epic sound of Arcade Fire or Kissaway Trail. Lyrically, they mix metaphor with the very literal (the song ‘Astronaut Swapshop’ is literally about mugging an astronaut, stealing his clothes and going to the moon). Having already recorded their as yet untitled debut album (due out next year), founder members Kenny McCracken (lead vocals and guitar) and Julian Ward (guitar) also struggle to label their sound, with the only unifying factor linking songs on the album being “Something ‘Cycles’”, as Julian states. Kenny is equally abstract: “Why have a box of chocolates full of just orange creams?” The pair met at Brighton University where Kenny was studying photography and Julian worked as a technician. They met fashion student Jen Dalby, who turned out to have a stunning singing voice, and enlisted drummer Jack Hannan, completing the Cycles line-up. With a host of songs ready for touring from Kenny’s previous band, Victor Molloy, along with songs written with his new collaborators, the band’s rise up the ranks of promising indie bands has been deliberately steady, as Kenny points out: “It’s a slow build. If you just release an album without coverage and push behind you, it’s going out into an empty market, y’know? The great example is Supergrass. They’ve had a long and steady career because they’ve earnt their success. They’ve built up the fanbase and can still sell out shows.” Gloria Cycles have certainly been putting in the groundwork after a busy summer playing festivals
(including Brighton’s own Beachdown), recording new music and the small matter of defeating 7,000 other bands in the international battle of the bands contest, Emergenza: “This is the best thing we’ve ever done. We’d recommend it to any unsigned band. There were bands from Tokyo, East coast of America, Canada and everywhere”. The competitions’ finale took place in Germany. Julian recalls a distinctly un-rock and roll tale: “It was nerve-racking playing this massive stage. There was this guitar technician not really calming us down by keeping on going ‘You’re on in FIVE minutes’, and holding up five fingers. Jack was wheeled out on stage still setting up his drum kit!” First prize was recording an album, though the band had already ticked that one off and instead took tour support and a booking agent. They’re now getting more, bigger, gigs with an Autumn UK tour followed by Scandinavia. The first night of the tour is their set at Brighton Live. Other bands at the event they recommend include Vodafone Live Music Award nominees Transformer, classical influenced Portslade, raprockers Floors and Walls and The Pursuit, who have a singer ‘like a young Mick Jagger, and a lot of potential’. Possibly overshadowed this year with the emergence of higher profile, paying festivals, Kenny points out why Brighton Live is so fascinating. “I love Brighton Live because you see bands you don’t know. It’s my favourite week of the year. The town’s got such a good atmosphere that week and I’m really looking forward to it.” Brighton Live, 23–27 Sep. www.brightonlive.net

Mystery Jets
Jaime Pettit fights sickness to make an appearance at 60s revival night Mod For It at the Pav Tav
Mystery Jets Melodic surreal indie-poppers with prog rock tendencies are playing as part of the Silent Disco Live series of dates at Concorde 2 along with Supergrass (25 Sept) and a Best of Brighton showcase (24 Sept). The idea is that the band’s music is transmitted to a pair of headphones given to each punter. They in turn can adjust volume, bass, etc, to their tastes. Weird idea that may just work…. Tuesday 23 September, Concorde 2
Max Pashm A collective of some of the leading players of traditional Klezmer, Greek, Balkan and Gypsy music from Bulgaria, Greece and the UK, melded with driving live mixed beats to create irresistible Balkan Beats dancing music. Crazy and fun. Plus DJ Andy Satellite Friday 26 September, Komedia Liz Green + Ben Wetherill + Tom Brosseau Offbeat acoustic lovelines from this line-up headed by the captivating and the very stagefright-prone Green, which actually only serves to heighten her literate songs; a brew of blues, folk and jazz. Like an alternative Kate Nash. Plus there’s the dry and droll garage acoustic vibes of American Brosseau who occasionally displays his fondness for Dylan in sound.

Bromheads Jackets Still very popular underground indie outfit who’s irritating/charming (delete as appropriate) leftfield psychedelic punk pop seems to have a surprising number of people rabidly salivating at the prospect of seeing them in action. Like The Cardiacs, Inspiral Carpets and Marmite it’s an either/or situation. Sunday 28 September, Engine Room Johnny Foreigner + Danananakroyd + My Device Brilliant upbeat, girl vs boy vocals overlaying generally punk-pop melodies (with a hint of hard rock) that exude sheer class. Really, these people are inventive and their recent debut album is one of the albums of the year. Brighton’s perennial punk thrash hopefuls My Device bring up the rear. Monday 29 September, Prince Albert

I start gluing myself to the duvet and make a ‘lazy mans’’ batch of noodles before guilt sets in. My second voice starts to tell me, ‘no-one under 25 stays in on a Saturday, not for any sickness or bug, that’s what a marriage is for’. Of course, I must obey myself and begrudgingly head down to Mod For It@Pav Tav... for some free drinking. Hard life. Forget Quadrophenia, there’s no band of greasers just waiting to peanut your skinny tie, in fact there’s very little skinny tie action at all. As I ascend the stairs the familiar smell of sweat-drenched-beer-infused décor whacks my senses, a smell that every regular is proud of, and I too even harbour a homely love for it! Some people may consider the Pav Tav needs a dose of 60 Minute Makeover but like crisp new trainers, they don’t get real kudos till they are bathed in filthy memories. As is the great Pav and as ‘Fat Bottomed Girl’ belts out I feel like I’ve entered a customised night of my own. I was expecting slick do’s, Lambretta, Fred Perry and an abundance of trim-fit vintage threads but found a medley of styles eating up the floor space. From dark rock to the ‘plain Jane’ Portsmouth girls who’d lost their superhero clobber to a car robber, everyone was set free from standardised dress codes. Some songs had me visualising a 60s wedding complete with drunk uncle, this called for a bar dash to drink up our lemonade money on sinfully cheap necessary juice. However The Specials, Madness and the rest of the 60s revival had me attempting a pregnant-esque jostle before sickness won over. Slave to the bug, curse my fruit-despising texture phobia!
Brett Anderson Ex-Suede frontman who has, for the moment, turned his back on the music biz and the glam indie rock stylings that made his fortune. Recent album Wilderness paints a picture of an artist out on a limb, musically stripping things back to strings, piano and vocal. It’s not what he does best, but hats off for trying. Monday 29 September, St Georges Church Voodoo Six These sleaze-rockers peddle good, grungey, chunky riffs. So good, in fact that Velvet Revolver saw fit to rip them off, resulting in Voodoo Six successfully suing the band! Monday 29 September, Freebutt

MUSIC REVIEWS A weekly review of local and national releases Critics fave and well known remixer of pop and rock stars Metronomy have been quietly building up a body of original work that’s culminating in the release of their debut album Nights Out. A spooky amalgam of minimalist techno, Kraftwerk, wonky 70s electronics, new wave and experimental disco, Joseph Mount and buddies have crafted a minimasterpiece of leftfield synth-pop that is crammed with great ideas. Their influences are plain to hear (Magazine, Klaxons, etc) and they veer towards meandering instrumental nothingness, but mostly this is great stuff. English folk band Bellowhead were brought together by John Spiers and Jon Boden in 2004, and have quickly established themselves as one of the best folk-based dance bands around. The band plays traditional English dance tunes and songs, but in a funky, contemporary and unique style aided by a four-piece brass section, and their new album Matachin is a masterpiece of skewed, folk-dance beats, lyrics and rhythms. Brighton’s Pope Joan are at the intelligent punk funk end of the indie rainbow, where probing questions about social and political issues and injustices are juxtaposed with playful yet urgent, angular, chopping rhythms. Of course, the omnipresent Gang of Four’s musical footprint is found here; thankfully Pope Joan have enough original ideas to make this a record for 2008. Local folkstress Mary Hampton lives up to her charmingly old English name with an album of old English folk-style songs, My Mother’s Children. A superb singer, guitarist and songwriter, Hampton deserves to be recognised as one of the finest new folk-based talents around. Downbeat, resigned, fragile and melancholy, there’s a richly realised live and recordedin-the-cupboard feel, and despite the gloomy feel, there’s humour awash within the monochromatic surreality of it all. Good to see Clearlake back in action with a new single and some gigs. It’s been a while since superb third album Amber, but Jason Pegg has not lost the knack of a good melody, a rocking beat, and a wry lyric. ‘One of a Kind’/’Dark Blue’ is self-released; both songs are amongst their best work. There are so many easy listening female soul/jazz singer-songwriters floating about at the moment, Natasha Panas, with her debut album Yellow Flowers, stands little chance of standing out. Though written with the great David McAlmont, none of his talent shines. Aptly titled, this bland, forgettable effort is as mundane as your garden variety daffodil. Speaking of David McAlmont, it seems someone else has listened to his back catalogue, namely Anthoney Wright. Motown-inspired single ‘Reset to Zero’ is full of vintage energy and Wright’s soaring vocals could teach many better-known performers how to sing. Oh, Atoms’ debut single, ‘Sugar Mouse’, is worryingly featured on the soundtrack to Brit teen flick Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging. Despite sounding as you’d expect (soft, pop-rock, undemanding, unoriginal), there’s something about ‘Sugar Mouse’ that grates less than it should. Finally, BIMMers Catapult release their familiar sounding debut single ‘You Suck’. Embracing the eighties new wave sound so popular at the moment, this is derivative but what it lacks in originality, ‘You Suck’ more than makes up for in catchy dance-floor potential.

William Tells
NEWS
Will Harris has had enough of the media’s obsession with faux lesbianism Stop me if you’ve heard this already but, apparently, Katy Perry kissed a girl and she liked it. Actually, more to the point, she liked it so much she decided to write a song about it, a song with a tune which – unless you’ve been wedged in an iron lung for the past two months – has probably been stuck on repeat in your head for what seems like an eternity. Come on, you know the one: “I kissed a girl and I liked it, dumde-dum-de-dum, cherry chapstick.” I should probably point out at this stage that the dum-de-dum-dedums aren’t the actual lyrics of Perry’s number one single ‘I Kissed A Girl’. No, the dum-de-dum-de-dums are a cunning survival mechanism I’ve implemented to help me focus on what is a refreshingly catchy tune while avoiding the absolutely maddening nonsense spurting forth from her expensive orthodontistry. Yes, that’s right. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the Top 40, Katy Perry has decided to play the classic ‘Oops, I’m an accidental lesbian!’ card, a marketing technique aimed primarily at teenage boys and people who have trouble spelling the word ‘tree’. I actually thought we’d heard the death knell for this particular ploy around the time one of the girls in Russian double act Tatu got knocked up by a roadie somewhere outside Kiev, but that was obviously wishful thinking.
Ceri amour Gown and Out is the title of the new, one man, ‘15 woman’ show coming to the The Old Market this November. This is the only place you can see icons Cher, Diana Dors, Joan Collins, Amy Winehouse, Tina Turner and Her Majesty The Queen together in one show as Ceri Dupree delivers impressive vocal impersonations and hilarious stand-up. He will dress in thousands of pounds worth of costumes, bringing a touch of Las Vegas to the UK. His sister, Ria Jones, has performed at the Theatre Royal, Brighton three years running, keeping the city of Brighton a close family affair. Ria starred as Mrs O in the UK tour of Acorn Antiques. The year prior to that, as Reno Sweeney in Anything Goes, and before that, as Liz Imbrie in the UK tour of High Society. Ceri has entertained audiences for almost 25 years through musical theatre, pantomime, summer season, television and cabaret. He has performed at various major and esteemed venues throughout England, Ireland, Scotland and his birthplace Wales. He has written and produced his own shows nationwide, from Ladies of Legend, The Ceri Dupree Spectacular and Totally Frocked Up, among others. Ceri Dupree is seen as more than a comic in a frock. Past reviews have praised the elegant and professional show, effortlessly moving between character and caricature. ‘Gown and Out’ at The Old Market, Upper Market Street, Hove on Tuesday 11 and Wednesday 12 November. For more information or to book call 01273 736222. www.ceridupree.com
Inside scoop The Charleston Trust is building a rich and fascinating relationship with the LGBT community following the succesful ‘A Gay Outing Event.’ The event, as organised in collaboration with Brighton Pride and now Charleston in Firle, is creating new ties with the LGBT community. Following a generous grant from the SEWS Museum and Development Service, the Charleston Trust have launched a new project called ‘Inside Story.’ They are looking for people to share their memories of Charleston from two key decades in the history of the house; the 1960s and 1970s. This will culminate in an oral history archive for a point in history that has previously been left almost undocumented. It is with the help of the public that the Trust can record the memories of people who shared the open-minded atmosphere of the house towards the end of Duncan Grant’s life. For further information call 01323 811626 or email info@charleston.org.uk. The Charleston Trust, Charleston Firle, Lewes, East Sussex, BN8 6LL, www.charleston.org.uk 48 latest 7
“The media obsesses over girls who pretend to like girls, while ignoring those girls who actually do“ Remember the MTV Music Awards a few years back? Britney kissed Madonna. Madonna kissed Christina. Christina kissed Britney. I also recall that nobody kissed Missy Elliott, who was right there in the middle of it all (that’s the main problem with being a bad-ass hip-hop MC: ever the bridesmaid). Cue a Grecian temple’s worth of column inches and video coverage from the event beamed to news networks around the globe. Are any of the singers involved lesbian? Of course not. And you can bet if Katy Perry got anywhere within snogging distance of an actual dyke, her record company would whisk her out of there so fast that her oh-so lesbian Louboutins would leave inch-deep grooves in the parquet. But still the media obsesses over girls who pretend to like girls, while ignoring those girls who actually do. I think what bothers me most about ‘I Kissed A Girl’ isn’t the stance that the song takes about being gay (although the lyric ‘It’s not what good girls do, not how they should behave’ probably deserves a Jim Davidson Award for veiled bigotry), it’s that the industry is portraying a straight girl as a lesbian purely to line its own pockets, while openly gay artists are encouraged to play down their sexuality. So until Katy Perry and others of her ilk are prepared to put their money where there lips are, I’m not particularly interested in hearing any more tales of their dabbling. It’s still a great tune, of course; it’s just such a shame the lyrics are so dum-de-dum-de-dumb.

What’s hot on the box
By Any Means BBC2, Sundays, 8pm If you watched The Long Way Round or The Long Way Down you will be familiar with what this is. If not, I shall explain. A few years ago Charley Boorman and Ewan McGregor decided it would be a good idea to travel from Lands’ End to New York by motorbike. Then they did another (which wasn’t as good because Ewan’s wife joined in) where they travelled from Scotland to Africa by motorbike. Now Charley is going it alone, travelling from Ireland to Sydney using any means (excluding planes). All in all he uses over 110 different modes of transport from tuc tucs, double-decker buses and fishing boats. The same organiser travels with him from the last two series and a new cameraman. These three men will spend four months together travelling around the world. This had the potential to be incredibly boring but luckily Charley is really amusing and keeps you watching and laughing. If you were a fan of The Long Way Round you might think it weird not having Ewan on the trip too but it really doesn’t make any difference. You really don’t notice him missing. Not only is this fun to watch because it is funny but it is really interesting. Through the eyes of these men we get to see parts of the world we would probably never get the chance to. This programme isn’t rocket science, but it is something a little more interesting than most other things on our boxes. Many people wish they could travel the world and can’t for various reasons and this is a way to see amazing places and things from the comfort of your sofa. (Not quite the same I know!) Also, if you are planning a trip somewhere, programmes like this, where the people really are roughing it most of the time, give you a good look at the place before deciding whether to go or not. Charley started the trip with Russ (the organiser) and Mungo (cameraman) in Ireland, in the town Charley grew up in. They travelled to Liverpool, then on to London, down to Shoreham, along to Brighton, and off to Newhaven to sail across to France. Each part of that journey was made on a different mode of transport, which brings with it various hiccups and amusing situations. This is something I would recommend because it is just funny. It is something that makes you laugh while showing you the world from a completely different point of view to what you are used to with any travel programme. The trips are peppered with good deeds, trips to charitIes to see what actually happens and who we help on things like Red Nose Day. And it also heightens awareness about global warming. Which is never a bad thing.
Films on TV
TUESDAY 23 The Omen ★★★★✩ (1976, BBC1, 12.05am. Dir Richard Donner) Time to get your scary on in the runup to Halloween. The original, with the best freaky score around, sees Gregory Peck and Lee Remick taking in the mysterious child and the bizarre events that seem to follow him around. Even the birds are unnerving in this classic dark film.
WEDNESDAY 24 Withnail And I ★★★★★ (1987, Film4, 11.35pm. Dir Bruce Robinson) Student classic starring Richard E Grant as Withnail and Paul McGann as the long-suffering I. The pair of out of work actors decide to go on a holiday, resulting in an odyssey of misadventure involving many, many drinks and a few sundry drugs along the way. Also featuring Ralph Brown, Richard Griffiths and Michael Elphick.
THURSDAY 25 Hostel ★★★★✩ (2005, Five, 10pm. Dir Eli Roth) The film to get even the most hardened of fright night fans hiding behind the sofa. Following the tale of three all-American backpackers when a bordello of a hostel is thrown into their path, offering everything that their red-blooded male imaginations can think of. Only to find that this is the bait in a very dark fishing ship, serving them up as hooked dinner to international sadists. Nasty, but well done nasty.
23 – 29 September
Movies on the box this week hope to be chosen to go to the island – the last uncontaminated place on Earth. But when one inhabitant discovers that there are sinister forces at work, he and a female friend make a daring escape.
The Apartment ★★★★✩ (1960, Sky Movies Classic, 6.50pm. Dir Billy Wilder) A subtle, nuanced comedy about two people who have both been jaded in love, and yet continue to hope again and again that it will someday work out for them – mainly because despite the unlikeable things they do, they are both basically decent, nice people. Flawed and even weak at times, but good people. This is a movie that doesn’t just make you laugh, it makes you think. A rare find indeed.
SUNDAY 27 Pan’s Labyrinth ★★★★✩ (2006, Channel 4, 9pm. Dir Guillermo del Toro) Starring Sergi Lopez, Maribel Verdu, Ivana Baquero, Doug Jones and Alex Angulo. Stunning Spanish-speaking dark fantasy thriller set in Spain in 1944. A young girl and her pregnant mother travel to meet her stepfather, a sadistic fascist officer who is battling Republican guerrillas in the mountains of northern Spain. Classic European cinema.
FRIDAY 26 Scream ★★★★✩ (1996, BBC1, 11.40pm. Dir Wes Craven) Playing for jumps and self-referential irony, as well as proffering an engaging yarn, the horror director’s opener for the famous trilogy stands him in good stead. Starring Neve Campbell as Syndey, a teenager who finds her friends are dropping off one by one. Also starring Skeet Ulrich, Courtney Cox and David Arquette.
SATURDAY 27 The Island ★★★★★ (2005, ITV, 9.15pm. Dir Michael Bay) Starring Ewan McGregor, Scarlett Johansson. Futuristic thriller about a contained, seemingly utopian facility in the mid-21st century. The residents
50 latest 7
MONDAY 29 The Colour of Money ★★★★✩ (1986, BBC1, 11.20pm. Dir Martin Scorsese) Starring Tom Cruise, Mary Mastrantonio, Helen Shaver, John Turturro and Bill Cobbs. Paul Newman reprises his role from The Hustler as an ageing liquor salesman inspired by a talented youngster to take up the pool cue after a 25-year break. With the aid of the young man’s girlfriend, he encourages his new-found apprentice to learn the hustler’s art in backwater pool halls. It isn’t long before both headstrong protégé and mentor are gunning for the same big bucks.

tuesday 23 Losing It: Griff Rhys Jones On Anger BBC2, 9pm It’s becoming more of an issue in society as rage in the office, home and on the road erupts at irregular intervals. Yet very few acknowledge their own anger. Griff does. He’s a goodie. He talks to his family about it and then chats to Heston Blumenthal and Rory McGrath about theirs. Grr.
Leslie Ash: Face To Face ITV1, 9pm From pin-up girl-next-door to the national face of the trout pout, poor Leslie Ash. Bit of a mishap there, as well as a career blunder.The lady in question talks about her experience and tries to find out what went wrong. Like it never occurred to her to do that before she had a camera crew with her. Less trout more fishy.
I’m Kylie’s Body Double BBC3, 10.30pm Nice chat-up line. And a nice living. Investigating the lives of body-part doubles, including hands, legs, feet and the royal derriere, this is the land that makes the celebrities look perfect in every way. As no one has the entire package these are the people that make up the jigsaw to perfect. Hmm.

thursday 25 Ann Widdecombe Versus The Diet Industry ITV1, 9pm Single-handedly putting the world to rights, this week the robust politician is treading old territory by blaming celebs, glossy mags and the cosmetic surgery industry for yo-yo diets and a multi million pound industry. Will she have a new slant on the age old argument?
The Virgin Daughters Channel 4, 9pm Jane Treays looks at the rising movement across America towards chastity. This is a girls’ pledge of virginity, by the way, in case you were confused and thought everyone was at it. However, it is a popular one, with one in six proclaiming their wedding night will be their first time. Further investigation follows.
Secret Diary Of A Call Girl ITV2, 10pm Must-see telly, if only just the once ever since Billie Piper won a best simulated sex scene award with this show at some Porn awards.
