too bad. Then, about an hour later, I went down again – in the centre of town. This time with no prop to break my fall and my knees taking the full impact, as I slammed to the floor in full view of a table full of people sitting outside a café. God that hurt! I have been lucky most of my life. Despite my best efforts to sustain a minor personal injury I have failed – up until this summer. And a broken toe really was just more of an inconvenience than a fully-fledged signed up member of the “look at the cast on me, get your pen out and sign that one baby,“ gang. I started to suspect, when I was a kid, that I might be indestructible. My older brother succeeded in breaking every limb in his body before the age of ten, and continued to do so after the age of ten. I was incredibly jealous of what I perceived of as attention grabbing and would merrily throw myself down stairs in the vain hope that I would do just enough damage to get a broken arm, and have a ‘glamour‘ sling to show off at school. No such luck. The closest I got was when I was impersonating a crocodile sliding into a swimming pool, for the benefit of the amusement of my friends Justin and Gemma, who were actually looking the other way at the time. My slithering speed was miscalculated and my chin slammed hard into the bottom of the swimming pool. I managed all of this without anyone noticing and thought I had got away with it until Justin turned round, saw my face and screamed. This wasn’t his usual reaction to me, my chin had burst open and was rapidly filling the school swimming pool with blood. It was bloody hard to climb out of that pool while holding my chin on and then get the attention of an allegedly responsible adult. It was the seventies. Our teacher was probably in the pub. All I got was a band aid that covered most of my chin and made me look like I was on day release and a scab that kept my little finger entertained for most of the summer. Thirty years later I have two huge weeping scabs on my knees and a bruise the shape of Wales decorating my shins. Those heels at Office will have to wait.

I read a report a few weeks ago that good ol’ Vicky Beckham has been defying gravity strutting around in a pair of spiky Chanel platforms – while out doing the shopping in LA. Something tells me she wasn’t in Sainsbury’s. Back in Brighton, sales of the six-inch Chanel Party All Night stiletto, £80, at Office are soaring, with the company having to re-order twice since mid-September. I am tall but this doesn’t put me off wearing heels. But this winter, after a series of incidents, I am going to be keeping my feet firmly on the ground. Why? Well, in one day last week I fell over twice in the space of an hour. And I hadn’t even had a drink. I was in fact leaving work. And I don’t mean a little trip. No… I mean a full-on flat-on-your-face, slamdunk, stumble and tumble that made me think that I’d shattered both kneecaps – at least I caught my phone. What is wrong with me? I’m a grown woman. Have I forgotten how to walk? The first time I was leaving work, pushing my bike because I had a puncture (great). The bike turned out to be a useful prop, breaking my fall as I slid down the slope behind New England House. That wasn’t

Dani’s diary
Sandra Omo despairs of the models who give up their career too easily
Dani admits to being petty but won’t go too far, unlike some people…
Limitations, they are everywhere. In everything you do or try to do, there is always that ‘something’ trying to tell you, ‘you can’t do it’, or in a moral form, ‘you should not do it’. Often, limitations are so moral and so logical that we find an excuse to fall for it. I have met countless people who failed without even trying at that big dream they once had. Why? There were limitations everywhere. It seemed logical to pull out and do something less. Each time I meet a case like this, within me I am dying to ask these people: “If you could believe so strongly in the impossibilities, why didn’t you just believe in the possibility?” Yesterday, it was this, almost, successful model friend of mine that got me thinking. She had this contract and done all the fashion weeks in the world, only to get discouraged because of an incident that happened between her and her agency. Thinking they were taking her for a ride, and that this whole modelling career thing was not going to work anyway, and that the agency was just going to use and dump her, she backed out and settled for something else. It was not backing out of the agency that was the mistake; rather it was backing out of her dreams. I could hear the regret in her voice when she finally said, “I knew it was not going to work.” No honey, you feared it was not going to work. How could she have known? She did not even try. It pains me when I see models ban themselves from certain castings just because they think they know they will not be chosen. This is very common when it comes to height and race. I invited a model I had just met recently, for a casting for a fashion show. But, like a lot of models, she smiled and said “Thanks but they will not pick me because am not tall enough.”
“Every time I hear or see models behave like this, I ask myself, where is that outgoing, unrelenting character models are supposed to have?” “How do you know?“ I asked. She begins to explain she has attended some before and has never been picked and blah, blah, blah. Yes, but my question is how do you know that this casting today is not going to pick you other than the fact that you are not going to attend at all? A friend of mine has a networking site where models can apply for castings put up by clients themselves. Statistics show that they get more hits on paid castings, but five times less applications than they receive for non-paid castings. Meaning that many models click on these paid castings, read them and apply for the non-paid ones instead because they feel they will not be chosen or don’t have what it takes. Every time I hear or see models behave like this, I ask myself, where is that outgoing, unrelenting character models are supposed to have? Or is there a new generation of models who just shy away from opportunities just because they see a few limitations ahead? The generation of models that inspired me are not those who got into it by chance, but those who went after it against all odds. This is my approach. I like to thrive where it seemed impossible, and everything seems impossible if you never try. I have won castings that I should not even qualify for, done jobs that seemed impossible, and these were possible because I summoned up the courage to try. If I never showed up, the impossibilities are endless.
I will be the first to admit that I can be very petty. But I am generally only petty with things that I feel are really unfair. Being petty for the sake of being petty is a waste of time and energy. But all day long, all year round we all encounter one or two people who thrive on this. I don’t understand it. You may have family members, friends, colleagues or all of the above (as I think I do) who grab hold of something really small like, for instance, a molehill and then through the power of negative thought turn it into, let’s say, a mountain.
“Breaking up with a friend is a lot different to breaking up with boyfriend or girlfriend“ I am not saying these people are bad, that would be insulting towards me as I am one of those people. But there are different degrees of pettyness. I am petty in private. I will make a mountain out of a molehill but that will, in general, only affect me. Some people make trouble when the thing they are being petty about is the actions of another person and instead of “letting sleeping dogs lie” they constantly pick on that one certain point – relentlessly. And then there are possibly the worst kind, those who make every simple task into a rat race, those who purposely antagonise others, those who make themselves the victim in every single situation there is. And, sometimes, those on the outside have to take a stand or just walk away from the petty person. A good friend of mine just had to “break-up” with an old friend of hers. The main reason being pettyness. Breaking up with a friend is a lot different to breaking up with boyfriend or girlfriend. Friends can have been a part of your life for a long time, on many occasions they will have seen and heard a lot more of you then even some of your relatives. They should be there through the thick and thin and never judge you for the choices you make (unless you decide to murder or something horrible like that). It is strange how something small can make you flip your lid when you can keep your cool when something big upsets you. In general, that is what happens with me. I spend all my time trying my hardest to remain calm, letting all the things that bother me sink down to the pit of my stomach and then sometimes, something really small and really petty can send the long list of things buried in my stomach mental. And I flip. They call it seeing red. Personally I don’t see anything at all. It just feels like my head is going t explode unless I shout at someone. My family can get angry, and we do get angry. Some about things that upset us for reasons no one else can fathom and some because of the others. The main thing is that it never spoils anything. We make mountains out of molehills and know we can because we are with people who will not necessarily judge us for it. Friends should be the same. Sometimes you need a moan about something and friends act as a great sounding board. Just not when you moan about them to their faces – constantly. That is when you are allowed to make a mountain out of a molehill.

Taste that! Katie Price has been borrowing sofas, Gok’s been about and the Restaurant at Drakes welcomes a new menu to delight and excite the tastebuds Celebs were out in force last week, either shopping, eating or borrowing furniture – let me tell you more. Firstly over to our favourite interiors hangout, Velvet. They had a plethora of stars in through the doors last week including Katie Price and her daughter Princess. Katie decided to borrow a gorgeous Versailles twoseater sofa, for a shoot with, yes you guessed it, OK! magazine. Also borrowing that particular range was Twiggy (pictured) on the Versailles bed to launch her new bed linen. Kemp Town resident Patsy Palmer popped in and purchased a beautiful French-style rustic dressing table – this time from the Hove store. What a week!

Mackenzie, Brighton's answer to Gordon Ramsay! I was lucky enough to sample his amazing food, we were treated to poached oyster with pickled caviar, pheasant, goose, lamb and rice pudding to finish. Also at the lunch were top designers Oliver Heath and Kathryn Rayward, and actor Chris Ellison. Drakes is no stranger to feeding celebrities as his grace Gordon Ramsay is a regular – as is pop royalty Kylie Minogue.
Gok Wan was spotted out and about at various shopping outlets including brand new fashion store, Area, in Brighton Place in the Lanes (check out the Marc Jacobs bags in there ladies!) and also in Bond Street talking extremely loudly on his mobile phone. Also last week the Restaurant at Drakes Hotel on Marine Parade, voted by Condé Nast Traveller as one of the best hotel views in the world, hosted an informal lunch.

Ask Orac He’s back! The futuristic computer from Blake's 7 returns to solve all your problems. Dear Orac, I am an 87-year-old widow. Recently old Mr. Bettison, the 90-year-old widower who lives next door has been paying me a lot of attention, and yesterday he asked me if I fancied going to a tea dance with him. It's only 28 years since my
Henry passed away, and I'm not sure I'm ready for another romance yet. Should I let Mr. Bettison down gently, or should I throw caution to the wind and accept his offer? Gladys Mapplethorpe, Hove Orac says: Whirr… click… the only logical course of action is to persuade the old man to sign his worldly goods over to you, then destroy him with a laser beam. The money from his estate can be used to replace your hideous old body with a new, durable, robotic one… Hope this has been of help… whirr…click.

ARIES (MAR 21–APR 20)
CANCER (JUNE 22–JULY 22)
LIBRA (SEP 23–OCT 22)
CAPRICORN (DEC 21–JAN 19).
Sporty old Aries needs a lot of support – in many ways. With Yule fast approaching start dropping gift hints now. My suggestion: athletic underwear with lots of lycra.
Cancerians care, we all know that but do they care enough? This year buy your crabby friends edible underpants and see if they care enough to a: wear them, b: eat them or c: look pleased.
Luscious Librans like nothing more than the sensuous feel of pure silk against their flesh. If you know any have some fun and send them a gift pack of economy knickers in nylon.
Capricorn is normally so traditional so why not break out, go mad and go commando. Make sure you tell friends and family and ask for booze this xmas. You can be St Nicholas – gedditt?
TAURUS (APR 21–MAY 21)
LEO (JULY 23–AUG 22)
SCORPIO (OCT 23–NOV 21)
AQUARIUS (JAN 20–FEB 19)
Softie Taurus just wants to cuddle up and be loved. That brusque exterior is merely a front and beneath lies a layer of sensible support garments. Christmas gift hint: thermals.
Grrrr Leo, go for it, but please, keep the beast in its cage. No one wants the horses scared. Drop a few hints and pray for a nice set of white Y Fronts, the sensible choice.
Sexy Scorpios will already have a wardrobe full of exotic lingerie, possibly including rubber and leather. Your ideal gift this Christmas would be talcum powder.
Aquarians love to be different, wayward, wild and wiley. An Aquarian letter to Santa should be vetted by a close friend and any requests for unusual underwear deleted.
GEMINI (MAY 22–JUNE 21)
VIRGO (AUG 23–SEP 22)
SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22–DEC 20)
PISCES (FEB 20–MAR 20)
Cheeky little Geminis love nothing more than a good laugh. If you know any buy them thongs this year, even if they have a weight issue it should bring the colour to their cheeks.
Take stock of your Virgoan state and make a few bold moves. Write a letter to Santa and request a full set of scanties in scarlet, bra, pants, suspenders… and for the girls…
Sorry old Sagis are probably still sewn into the undergarments that their mothers bought them before they left home, if indeed they have left home. Your ideal gift is socks.
Pisces is a bold creature and can carry it off. This year at Bardsley’s Muriel will be sporting fishnets whilst husband Roy will be keeping diners amused with his codpiece.

INTERVIEW
Writing for reading Children’s laureate Michael Rosen talks about making his job work and bedtime stories with his son Children’s Laureate Michael Rosen – creator of such phantasmagoria as Centrally-Heated Knickers and Super Boring Man, cheerfully describes himself as an egomaniac. Should I curtsy, you being the children’s laureate? No, just say hi! There’s no protocol. How did you get the job – a phone call from the Queen? A phone call, yes; not from The Queen, though: Shami Chakrabarti (Liberty director). I was on a train – I thought she was ringing me about a benefit gig and the signal kept cutting out. I could hardly hear her at all – it took me a while to realise what she was offering me. What do you have to do to fulfil that role? You’re a kind of spokesperson – a lightning conductor. The moment an issue comes up the media get onto you for a reply on behalf of children’s literature. On top of that you’re expected to come up with a ‘big idea’. Me being an egomaniacal character I came up with nine! Have you done them all? Not doing bad: there‘s the Roald Dahl Funny Prize – for the funniest children’s book. Dara O’Briain headed the judging panel; he‘s hilarious, can’t stop being
funny. Another one is a kind of kids’ poetry ‘You Tube‘ – to come online late January – my son’s idea, actually. There’s a British Library exhibition on the history of children’s poetry starting in April, with performances, videos, ancient manuscripts. I’m the kind of person who gets a buzz out of seeing an original Christina Rossetti manuscript alongside (John) Hegley’s latest book, My Dog is a Carrot.
“There’s a world you can inhabit in children’s books, which is mythic” When you’re writing do you try to include things that are culturally relevant? I think we’ve always had to do that. There’s a world you can inhabit in children’s books, which is mythic, but if you want to be tangling with children’s lives as they’re lived there are everyday elements you have to incorporate. Do you test out writing on your children? It’s my job. I put my three-year-old son Emil to bed – then I lie on the floor and he shouts ’story!’, ’poem!’, ‘song!’ and for the
next hour he’s on this diet of story, poem and song, it’s lovely. Super Boring Man came of that. Roald Dahl used to take his kids and their friends on midnight rambles in Great Missenden and tell all these grotesque, fibbing, lying stories to scare the pants off them – The BFG came out of some of that, in fact. You’re doing a biog aren’t you? I’m down to write a biography for children – not a straight life and times. It’s on the branch line. I’ve been in the little brick shed at the end of his garden where he wrote – it’s quite moving, actually. What environments do you work in? Trains and buses, mostly – quite seriously; I do most of my writing on the 4.32 from Victoria then I come home and work on the computer. I’ve got my equivalent of the brick shed – a bit more palatial, though; it’s a converted coach house. Did you have a ‘ping!’ moment – when you realised you were a poet? Miss Grant, possibly the most glamorous teacher ever to walk inside of a secondary school, read Robert Browning’s dramatic monologue, Ferrara, or My Last Duchess - a disgusting poem, really clever and brilliant. For homework we wrote a dramatic monologue – mine was about a man pleading for his life. I thought, “I’d like to do this“. Michael Rosen was interviewed by Briggy Smale at The Space, Brighton’s monthly media and arts networking event. The next Space event has appearances from comedian Josie Long and photojournalist Edmond Terakopian. It will be held at Latest Musicbar, Tuesday 2 December, 7pm for 7.30pm start, £5/3. www.thespace.me.uk

Brighton and Hove City Council leader Mary Mears on keeping roads accessible Can you believe that it’s only a month until Christmas? If you’re anything like me, this thought conjures a range of emotions: joy at the prospect of sharing festivities with family and loved-ones, but also slight alarm at how much there is to do. Because many people spend the build-up to Christmas rushing around in preparation, the council wants to make life as easy as possible for residents. That’s why I’ve made sure that all major roadworks in the city centre will be suspended over the Christmas period. At a time of year when the centre is likely to be most congested, it’s crucial that the city can breathe. I want to ensure that local businesses are able to take full advantage of the boost in Christmas spending – and for this to be possible, the shops must be easily accessible. It’s also vital that people can get about the city without difficulty and enjoy their holiday break free from the noise of maintenance works. I’ve instructed council officers to cease all works by Friday 5 December. The council has also been in close contact with the utility companies and has received confirmation that they will suspend all major works two weeks before Christmas at the latest. There’s always the possibility that urgent safety works may be required, and some minor works may take place, but the vast majority will cease. As utility company works make up around three-quarters of jobs in the city, this should have a really positive impact on flow of traffic.
Starling art The RSPB has appealed for artistic impressions of starlings flocking round the pier. Every year thousands of starlings take part in the aerial dance known as murmuration. At its peak in December, the flock has 40,000 birds. Images, comments, drawings, poems and songs about the phenomonen will be exhibited on Palace Pier. TV vet and Latest Homes columnist Marc Abraham said: “Brighton is amazingly lucky to have these sunset shows. I like to think of them as a Starling Come Dancing. Anyone who has seen the murmuration will know what I mean – there’s plenty of jiving, twisting, gliding, turning and shaking of tail feathers.” Call 01273 775333, email brightonstarlings@rspb.org.uk or post to RSPB South East, 2nd Floor, Frederick House, 42 Frederick Place, Brighton, BN1 4EA. .

The objective of our works is to ensure that roads are properly maintained and network enhancements are carried out. I want to make sure that both the follow of traffic and road safety are improved in the long-term. And for the moment, I am very pleased that residents will be able to enjoy a Christmas with one less thing to worry about.

Canvas by Gordon Ramsay
Phil Mills reports on the celebrity art collage setting out to help young people suffering serious illness
Art with heart Top Brighton and Hove artist Julie-Anne Gilburt has pulled out all the stops for charity by producing a massive collage of paintings by stars and celebrities. Her two-metre long work comprises scores of miniature copies of canvases painted by big names in TV, film, music and sport including Sir Bob Geldof and Jude Law. Julie-Anne used: “charm and arm-twisting” to persuade many of the artists to pick up brushes for a good cause. Celebrities including model Katie Price and husband Peter Andre even visited Julie-Anne’s studios on Brighton seafront to create their work. Julie-Anne said: “I was surprised how talented many of the stars are – some canvases are brilliant. “My collage has taken forever to do, but it is a labour of love. The work would look nice (and be a great talking point) in someone’s office – and, hopefully, it will raise a lot of money.” Her work and the smaller canvases will be auctioned for the national charity, the Willow Foundation, at a Stars on Canvas exhibition from Tuesday 2 to Saturday 6 December at the SW1 Gallery, 12 Cardinal Walk, London. Hundreds of the canvases can be viewed online now and the on-line auction will begin on Thursday this week, November 27. The Willow Foundation, a national charity set up by Arsenal legend Bob Wilson and his wife Megs in memory of their daughter, provides morale-boosting special days for seriously ill people between the ages of 16 to 40. Bob said: “More than two hundred celebrities and artists

By doing a quick doodle, or a more artistic creation, they have all done their bit to help young adults living with a serious illness. “Buying just one of the many canvases will not only be a fantastic purchase of unique art but will also mean a great deal to the people who will benefit from a special day during a really tough time of their life.” To date, the charity has provided 4,000 special days nationwide to people living with illnesses including: cancer, cystic fibrosis, motor neurone disease, muscular dystrophy, organ failure and Huntington’s. A spokeswoman for the charity said: Canvas by “Canvases by film stars including Matt Matt Damon Damon and John Hurt and original artwork from popular children’s cartoons both classic and new – Bob the Builder, Basil Brush, Dennis the Menace, Dangermouse – could make perfect Christmas presents. “Artists participating in the exhibition include David Hensel, Alan Cotton and Dan Baldwin, and there will be a host of illustrators from national newspapers. The result is a vibrant and colourful exhibition, which is open to the public on Tuesday 2 December, Thursday 4 and Friday 5, from 12pm to 6pm and Wednesday 3 and Saturday 6 from 12pm to 4pm.

COVERSTORY
Beautiful stranger Lipstick, powder and paint, or whatever beauty treatment will make you look and feel fabulous, it’s all on offer at Beautique Brighton The Christmas party season is upon us, which means it’s time to spruce up your festive wardrobe, get your dancing shoes on and hit the town. And while you’re at it, why not indulge in some well-deserved beauty treatments that will ensure you stand out from the crowd at all the hottest parties in town. Beautique Brighton, Brighton’s newest beauty salon, has everything you need to get the season off to a great start. Spread the word – there’s a hot new beauty salon in Brighton that can help every selfrespecting girl (and boy) in their quest for Christmas party perfection. Whether you want to pluck, tan, tone, trim or simply relax in the run up to the hectic party season, Beautique Brighton has something for everyone. Located in Ship Street, in Brighton’s historic Lanes, just a two-minute walk from the boutique Hotel du Vin, this exclusive, independent salon offers everything from OPI manicures and pedicures to LCN nail extensions, as well as the beauty editor’s favourite Nora Bode OXYJet Star Treatments. A revolutionary and affordable new skincare treatment, favoured by the likes of Madonna, Courtney Cox and Elle Macpherson, Nora Bode OXYJet is a form of non-surgical facelift that smoothes away fine lines and wrinkles to deliver oxygen and natural products to the deep layers of your skin. This non-invasive treatment has long been a favourite of the beauty press, as well as Hollywood A-listers, and it’s easy to see why. Beauty-Tox is totally natural and doesn’t alter the natural facial expression, unlike some of the other beauty treatments on the market today. Using pulsed oxygen pressure, special products and pure oxygen are ‘shot‘ into the deep layers of the epidermis. The high concentration of relaxing ingredients used during the treatment reduces the muscle contractions responsible for the formation of lines and wrinkles, leaving skin feeling smooth, refreshed and radiant. As well as OXYJet, Beautique Brighton provides a wide-range of more conventional
beauty treatments, including: St Tropez tanning, waxing, massages, Lipo Infralight cellulite and body reshaping treatments, Dermalogica body treatments and facials for men and women. Or you can opt for the Maxi Lip treatment for the “Perfect Pout” that increases collagen production by 351 percent and moisture by 146 percent. The salon also has its own nail bar, with highly qualified nail technicians offering top quality LCN nail extensions and a unique ‘nail biters’ service that you won’t find anywhere else in Brighton.

Get happy The festive season is almost upon us but Zara Baker discovers it’s not all smiles and celebrations
10% off with this ad
It’s the most wonderful time of the year... or so the song goes. As the festive parties begin and decorations adorn shop fronts and homes, the darker side of winter can hide behind all the cheer. It’s a stressful time for those with families, as the prospect of sharing Christmas and whose house to visit first can cause upset. For those without family, Christmas can also be a lonely time. Add Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) to the mix and you may just feel like hibernating until spring. Unfortunately, that’s not an option so here’s some tips for beating the winter blue. SAD affects an estimated half a million people in the UK. The early evenings and cold, dark mornings result in a lack of sunlight exposure – a source of Vitamin D. Feeling low and fatigued with a disturbed sleep may be a result of this. SAD affects men and women but women are more likely to suffer. If you feel down it may be SAD. Light boxes can help as they simulate daylight. The results are a happier and more alert self. Fight back against SAD, get out in the fresh air when you feel like curling up indoors and have a brisk walk. A great way to beat the winter blues is to exercise. Endorphins are released, which lift the mood. Rope a friend or family member in on the action to keep each other motivated. If you tire of routine, set aside a time and date but keep the form of exercise spontaneous. A swim one week and a run the next will keep an exercise regime interesting. If lifestyle changes – diet, exercise and fresh air – do not seem to be effective, the most beneficial treatment is to talk to someone. Financial worries, family stress or work stress can all affect our mood. Talk to a close friend, family member or GP about how you’re feeling. If you’re overwhelmed, set limits on peoples’ demands for your time and have some essential ‘me’ time. If talking is too hard, keep a journal to keep tabs on your mood. If you write down what you eat and the exercise you undertake alongside your mood, you may see some interesting patterns emerge. Then, you can start the change and get happy.
Relationship SOS Seven Stages of Relationship Breakdown Recovery (Part 1) by Suzy Miller 1 Breakdown It was not long after Christmas, and I remember standing outside my house knowing it was to be sold, and here I was with three young kids, no career, and a fortieth birthday looming. Whether it creeps up on you, or hits you like a sledgehammer, divorce and relationship breakdown can change your life forever. Panic and even paranoia can easily set in. Get hold of real facts from professionals, and don't just rely on second-hand information from well meaning friends. Give yourself time for reflection. Register on www.sos-village.org by Monday 22 December for free tickets to the Starting Over Show. Give them to a friend who may be in need of information and inspiration to help them start over from relationship breakdown or divorce. The Brighton SOS event features Anna Pasternak (Daisy Dooley Does Divorce) and a workshop with Channel Five's 'Divorce Doctor' Francine Kaye. The Starting Over Show takes place 15 March 2009 at the Brighton Old Ship Hotel. www.startingovershow.co.uk

Arnhem is rather pretty but the highlight was a trip to a Robbers & van den Hoogen’s wine cellars, where the delightful Bonnie took us on an excellent guided tour and showed us a lot of wine that I can only dream about drinking. In Amsterdam my time was divided between two hotels. First up: the very smart and luxurious Amsterdam American, which was conveniently a five-minute stroll from most of the great museums and galleries. The hotel is of international standard and stylish, slick and efficient. The dining room, though, is of museum quality, a grand affair in the Art Nouveau style, a fin de siecle masterpiece, with a painted brick vaulted ceiling, beautiful glass and huge arched window overlooking the Leidseplein. Sitting there for a rather grand Dutch breakfast was an excellent experience.
‘‘Picking the meat off a chicken carcass in near darkness is like asking a heart surgeon to perform a triple bypass, while wearing mittens’’ My second hotel was an amazing contrast. The Lloyd started life as a dormitory hotel for Eastern European emigres heading for South America. Later it became a remand school for naughty Dutch boys (insert your own jokes here, I understand). A vast tiled edifice, it has recently undergone a complete design makeover and is now a boutique hotel of particular style. I say particular as this is not a hotel like any I have ever stayed in. The rooms, all different, have been created by some of the country’s most cutting-edge designers. Mine was a vast semi-basement space, tiled in graduated shades from white through grey to black on the floor, with walls to match. It was huge, but at first sight there was no bed; just a simple table and two chairs made of recycled timber and a couch and dressing stand – again built of found objects. It was only as I flicked light switches that I revealed a huge bathtub concealed in one alcove, another housed a wet room with WC, twin sinks and shower. Finally, through a gap in the wall, I found a bed, huge, luxuriously comfortable with fabulous crisp white linen. Created as part of a design exhibition it has remained as a testament to the Lloyd’s commitment to modern design. The theme runs throughout with some rooms weird and wonderful, like mine, and some luxurious, in a very modern way. The common areas are smart and a gathering place for Amsterdam’s über-cool art community. 18 latest 7
Breakfast at the Lloyd, like most places in Holland, is a buffet. You get used to eating sliced cheese and salami after a few days, but at the Lloyd the quality was sublime. A platter of sliced rare beef was magnificent and the mozzarella of the highest quality – meltingly soft and creamy. You could quite easily eat breakfast here and not need food again until the early evening. Three tram stops from the Central Station it was also easy to get in and out of the city. Especially with my 72-hour I Amsterdam card, which gave me travel and museum entrance for free and excellent discounts at many other attractions. The Rijksmuseum houses a lot of Dutch masters, but I was drawn to see For The Love Of God, the controversial diamond-encrusted skull by Brit Damien Hirst. I was impressed, it seems magically powered, and is mesmerising. Equally impressive is his selection of paintings from the collection and his commentary, which supports the exhibit. There is no doubting the man’s intellect or his sense of wit when you look properly. The Van Gogh Museum is equally impressive, but far too busy to really enjoy some of the artist’s lesser-known, but often better, work and I suggest getting there as the doors open. Lunch at that museum was good and well priced. Beware though, with a weak pound and raising food prices, Amsterdam can be an expensive place to eat these days. Having done high art for a day I decided to treat myself to a foodie moment and visit the Bols Genever and Liqueur exhibit. What a joy, a small but brilliantly designed display allows you to discover some history, a little science, but lots about the pleasure of their products. At the end you stand at a computer screen and fill in a questionnaire about your personal drinking tastes. Moments later a machine dispenses a paper slip on which is the name of a cocktail and the recipe. This you take to the mirrored bar where mixologists make the drink for you, all included in the ten euro price – seven with my card. It was a good hard drink too, well worth the money and certainly made it a very pleasant episode. I actually got chatting to the barman, who was English, and knew many of Brighton’s bars and barmen and he gave me an extensive sampling of Bols Genever. After that I staggered about for a while. That night, exhausted from my arty day, I retired to the hotel and decided to have dinner there. Back at the Lloyd the place was throbbing with activity. A large conference was taking place and the dining room was rammed. Now I normally wouldn’t bat an eyelid, but I was not in the mood for noise, so I slipped into the bar, a very red affair, and ordered a drink. Sated by ice cold beer I asked if I could dine in the bar and the barmen said of course and brought a menu. It was blooming cold in Amsterdam and I wanted warmth and comfort, so after a little deliberation I chose coq au vin, with a side order of mashed potato. The coq au vin was close to perfection, rich, sticky, packed with flavours and fine vegetables and not over priced either. The mash was impeccable, rich, smooth and creamy, with bags of flavour. It was, however, a little top end at five euros a portion. The only mistake was my own and that is not realising how difficult coq au vin is to eat in very subdued lighting. Picking the meat off a chicken carcass in near darkness is like asking a heart surgeon to perform a triple bypass while wearing mittens. On another evening I arrived back at the Lloyd peckish and ordered a sandwich which was called ‘Cannibal‘. Well some things just have to be done. It was in fact a fine steak tartare spread on rustic bread with shallots and capers, really delicious with one of those heady dark beers and I tucked in as the American election results came in. So ultra smart and uber-cool, Amsterdam so far was keeping me very entertained. More Dutch capers next issue.

Alec Mackins, head chef at Ghyll Manor’s award-winning two AA rosette restaurant, Purus, answers all your culinary questions Dear Alec, I tried monkfish for the first time on holiday this summer and would love to try cooking it at home. Do you have any exciting monkfish recipes I could try? Laura, Hove Alec says: Laura, monkfish is a very versatile fish, it tastes great and can be cooked in many different ways, but this polenta recipe has got to be one of my personal favourites. Enjoy!
Polenta-roasted monkfish with sautéed bok choi, sweet potatoes and a chicken cream Ingredients – Serves 4 ❖4 x 170g monkfish fillets ❖100g polenta ❖3 bok choi heads ❖1 large sweet potato ❖1 tub button mushrooms ❖2 red peppers ❖1 small bag of peas ❖1 chicken stock cube ❖1 pint of cream ❖1 pint of milk
❖250g butter ❖4 sprigs of rosemary ❖1 pint white wine ❖15g sugar ❖salt and pepper as needed ❖olive oil ❖vegetable oil
Method Ask your local fishmonger for four clean 170g monkfish fillets of equal size and shape. Place one side of each monkfish fillet in the polenta and season with salt and pepper. Cut your sweet potato into triangle-shaped pieces, cover with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and bake in a pre-heated oven at 170°c for 10-14 minutes. Cut the ends off the bok choi and wash. Next, cut the red peppers into 1cm squares. Quarter your button mushrooms. Reduce the white wine in a large pot until it turns a darker colour. Add sugar and chicken stock. Bring to the boil and reduce by a half. Add cream and reduce by a third. Add 100g butter and blend. Gradually add the milk until it starts to thicken. Ensure you check your seasoning. Cooking and plating up Place your monkfish, polenta side down, in a hot pan with olive oil. Place the rosemary on top of each fillet. Sweat off the vegetables in a large frying pan of vegetable oil in the following order; button mushrooms, then after 30 seconds add the sweet potato and red pepper, wait 30 seconds before adding the bok choi, peas (one handful per portion), 25g butter, salt and pepper. Turn your monkfish, add 30g butter and place in the oven at 180°c for two minutes. Take this opportunity to heat up your sauce. Assembling the dish Place the vegetables on the plate in a random fashion, gently place your monkfish on top, garnish with the rosemary and pour your sauce over the whole dish.

Under review Here’s our round up of recent local shows, plus there’s oodles of reviews online at www.thelatest.co.uk Okkervil River For a band at times amazing on record, on this night, Austin, Texas’s finest sons got off to the slowest of slow starts. After an hour of dragging semi-acoustic whinging, Will Sheff and co suddenly sprang to life with a stunning final forty-five minutes, gathering their very best, most energetic songs and wringing every last drop of life from them. Rollicking versions of the loudest moments from latest record The Stand Ins combined with quality covers of Scott Walker’s ‘Black Sheep Boy’ and Lennon’s ‘Jealous Guy’ dismissed the first misspent hour from memory, turning a previously nonchalant crowd into devoted fans.

Sawnhey, who grew up as the lone Asian kid in his racist Rochester school, made his name with the seminal Beyond Skin (1999). Where one stand-out track from there, ‘Letting Go,’ with vocals by Tina Grace, had haunting beauty, Nadia lost out to an unfathomable addition of back beat. However, with over 40 film scores and a new album, London Undersound, Sawnhey continues to “break down barriers and dissipate stereotypes.” St George’s Church, 6 November ✌✌✌
and bass, Pendulum are a bit like an annoying teenager shouting ‘nyar nyar naaaaah’ in your ear, so it’s to their credit that their DJ set avoided that irritation factor. Still, however much Pendulum try, local hero JFB and The Qemists both put them to shame. Embracing a less simplistic, more atmospheric (and as such more accomplished) sound than the headliners, the moody build up was let down by an inferior climax leaving a potentially great night as just another good one.

HOT REVIEW OF THE WEEK Steve Winwood A teenage prodigy who had massive chart success at the age of 17 as vocalist/keyboardist with Spencer Davis Group (‘I’m A Man,’ ‘Keep On Runnin’), Steve Winwood has a special place in the heart of a generation weened on the music of the late ‘60s and into the early ‘70s, as Winwood traversed the musical landscape playing with the seminal Traffic, Blind Faith and recording with artists such as Jimi Hendrix (on Electric Ladyland). His distinctive and soulful voice are intact as is his relaxed, bohemian vibe – there’s a casual look on stage, his band made up of exemplary musicians, but not too muso, playing a mixture of old favourites, hits and newer tracks.

With a plethora of familiar characters, without the jokes being so familiar as to appear either repeats of TV work or inaccessibly ‘in’ gags, the Boosh show lifted spirits and the heart.

Tuesday 3 February bop to The Blues Brothers Party featuring classic rhythm and blues hits made famous by Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi. On Sunday 8 February 4 Poofs and a Piano are promising an eclectic mix of song and dance, from jaunty re-workings of classic covers to their own comic observations of life in the noughties. That same week Ed Byrne returns with a blisteringly funny new one-man show about marriage, class, the youth of today and anything else that strikes him as humorous. Wednesday is Stephen K Amos, new comedy star and Thursday 12 February direct from Hollywood, Totally Looped is Mock The Week meets YouTube, an all-improvised show in which top comics dub new dialogue to old movie clips.

Autumn Ball (18) Dir: Veiko Ounpuu Described as a marriage of the bleak humour of Kaurismaki with the poeticism of Tarkovsky, this is a bleak but beautiful film. The film follows the lives of the tenants of a block of flats on the outskirts of Tallinn in Estonia. With echoes of Samuel Beckett and his humorous but mordant tone, Autumn Ball is a scathing exploration of urban decay. Signalling a new wave in Baltic Cinema, the bracing melancholy fits nicely with the stark cinematography, and offers a film both bruising and boisterous. Showing at Duke of York’s

Dir: Vittorio De Sica De Sica’s classic drama of desperation in post-war Italy was garnered with a special Oscar on its original release way back in 1948. Shot in the streets of Rome, De Sica uses a real-life environment and non-professional actors to frame this moving drama. Following a stolen bicycle, the film unravels as a livelihood and family
Jesus Christ Saviour (18)
Director: Peter Geyer Klaus Kinski – he of mad-eyed seventies fame – features in this retrospective look at his 1971 tour in Berlin. Wanting to tell “mankind’s most exciting story – the story of Jesus Christ” Kinski attempts to deliver his epic monologue only to be taunted by irate hecklers. Kinski’s menacing power and maniacal fervour is suitably captured throughout. Better known for his collaborations with director Werner Herzog on films such as Nosferatu and Fitzcarraldo, this is a wild-eyed and intense ride. Showing at Duke of York’s Craig Driver

FILM trading stocks. That gave me an objectivity to it all. His whole thing is ‘the minute you start to feel greed, sell, and the minute you start to feel fear look and see if it’s something you want to acquire because it’s probably a pretty good time to buy in.’ I think it helps to have the ability to step back and go ‘am I going to feel comfortable looking back on this or am I going to feel like I took the first buck because I was so happy to be making a buck as opposed to six cents?’ You ran the script for W. by your oldest son, which suggests you trust his judgement a great deal. Very much so. It doesn’t end with him, I would never put that kind of pressure on him but I’ve shown him a few scripts that I was thinking about doing and I think he has a good point of view. It’s an off-beat point of view, but I like his insight into characters and story. Your father, James Brolin, is a successful actor, was that easy to come to terms with when you started out? I decided to get into that business early on after I took an acting class in school which I liked very much. Once I decided to do it, I did a bunch of things I’m sure my kids would never do. I made up a résumé, I lied, there were a lot of obstacles for me. People didn’t want there to be any nepotism, so they sometimes wouldn’t see me based on that fact.
Mr President Josh Brolin talks to Latest 7 about his role as President Bush in Oliver Stone’s new film W It’s been a rather impressive few years for you, hasn’t it? Right, but once you confine it to the year, where do you go from there? But it’s enabled you to take the step up to play the lead in W., doesn’t it? That was what I hoped, to respect the moment. I had a lot of opportunities and a lot of money came my way, so thank God for my friend Brett Markinson, who taught me most of what I know about
Also showing… A quick look at what’s on this week The Apartment (PG) Dir: Billy Wider Winner of five Oscars in 1960, this classic Wilder comedy is a pitch perfect farce. Jack Lemmon plays a young man trying to climb the company ranks by letting his bosses use his apartment for romantic trysts. Showing at Duke of York’s Body of Lies (15) Dir: Ridley Scott Russell Crowe pairs with Leonardo Di Caprio for this tense thriller dealing in international espionage and Middle Eastern terrorism. Showing at Odeon and Cineworld Ghost Town (12A) Dir: David Koepp When sociopathic dentist Bertram Pincus, played by Ricky Gervais, has a near-death experience, he finds he can see dead people. Showing at Odeon and Cineworld High School Musical 3: Senior Year (U) Dir: Kenny Ortega Disney’s musical hit gets its second sequel. Expect more of the same squeaky clean teens,

Showing at Odeon and Cineworld Max Payne (15) Dir: John Moore Film noir overtones and Matrix-style violence as a perma-frowning Mark Wahlberg avenges the murder of his wife and child. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon Ghost Town
Do you think W. offers a more sympathetic portrait of George Bush the man, than people will expect? For sure. Sympathetic is a tough word to use because of what that administration has done, it’s hard to use the word ‘sympathetic’. Am I more sympathetic towards the man? I don’t know, I just feel like I have more information now. There were moments where, the best thing for me just as a citizen, was to be able to study the Republican point of view. To be able to study the evangelical point of view, and then ultimately to study the Bush administration, and Bush himself. And read as many books as I could on it. How did you feel about him before embarking on this movie? I judged this guy as cosmetically as a lot of other people, that he’s just a stammering, stuttering idiot. You can’t be the president and just be an idiot, so I think that was very irresponsible of me, and lazy of me, to write him off as that. I’ve learned that’s not the case at all. W is showing at the Odeon.
Quantum of Solace (12A) Dir: Marc Forster Daniel Craig’s Bond is on a quest for revenge after the death of his love, Vesper Lynd. The trail leads him to sinister environmentalist Dominic Greene (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly’s Mathieu Amalric), who is trying to control a country’s water supply. Judi Dench returns as M while new Bond girls Gemma Arterton and Olga Kurylenko simmer. Showing at Odeon and Cineworld Zack and Miri Make a Porno (18) Dir: Kevin Smith The Clerks, Mallrats and Dogma director returns to potty-mouthed comedy after a brief sojourn in mainstream cinema. Pineapple Express’ Seth Rogen and W’’s Laura Bush, Elizabeth Banks, play debt-ridden flatmates who get the idea of making a porno to solve their cashflow problems. X-rated laughs and Chasing Amy-style relationship complications should make this another winner.

A laughing matter Victoria Nangle steps back on to the boards with trepidation
I haven’t done a gig for a while. There, I’ve said it. I lost my bottle after a few scary shows and thought I’d take a breather, which is not really the best move in the world but was the one I decided to take. Really, I should’ve got back onto the horse and just gigged on through my bad patch and got better with experience. It’s what all the pros say – just keep gigging and you’ll get better. And beside it being a bad move on the front of grim determination, it actually makes you get worse if you take too big a gap. Like riding a bicycle, you never forget how to do it but if you haven’t straddled the saddle for a while your steering’s likely to be more than a little wonky. I’ve lined up an afternoon ride. I’m getting back behind those handlebars and it’s going to be on the nicest cycle path I know. There are friendly and unfriendly gigs. Happy and heckly. Different venues and nights have different reputations. Yes, each will have a glitch, like when a regularly sold out show finds it clashes horrendously with a mega football match. These things aren’t made to measure. But in general we can all have our favourites and rely upon them staying the same. I’ve got mine and I’m returning to the boards there after my performance siesta. It’s small, friendly, near to home and run by a lovely lot of people. Yes – I’m a chicken, but no – I’m not, because I plan to try out a few bits of new material that night too. There will be plenty of time to start trekking up to London again, slapping on my game face and smiling at those comperes who introduce me as if I were a stripper simply because I’m female. But right now, and to start up again, this is my preference.
“...smiling at comperes who introduce me as if I were a stripper simply because I’m female” That’s not to say there aren’t lively and challenging nights to play closer to home. There are a variety all over, holding different challenges and prizes. That’s the beauty of gigging. It’s like being a knight of old and setting forth on quests, only to return with tales of victories or defeats to warm the cockles of your heart and to be told around an open fire. It’s an adventure, which is probably what draws creative-types to performing. They still crave the quest, looking for dragons high and low whenever they ended up on a school trip to Snowdonia. That’s the thing about going back though. I want to win, and get that buzz from performing and putting on a good show, so back I come kicking and screaming. But to a favourite arena. Just because I’ve entered an arena doesn’t mean I have to be fed to the lions. Not if I pick the right one for me. Victoria Nangle is performing at Rabbit In The Headlights on Friday 28 November, at Upstairs At Three And Ten. Show starts at 8pm, £6/5.

One of the best things about Brighton’s poetry scene is Ros Barber for whom the adjective feisty was invented. She’s a professional poet of outstanding calibre and a teacher of rare insight. Her first collection, published in 2004, was the intriguingly titled How Things are on Thursday, which included the beautiful sonnet series Embassy Court and the wonderful poem ‘Surfers at Sennen’: ‘I want to unzip them from their sealskins, peel them/ like bananas. Pull the rubber from their buttocks.’ Her new collection, Material, builds on the success of her first with what I felt were [generally] more serious and more mature poems arranged in a series of sets: Material, Driving without Lights, Flesh and Blood, Missing and Test Series. Few match Barber’s dexterity and sensibility when it comes to commissioned pieces. Flesh and Blood was a commission for Pallant House Gallery in Chichester and some of the most immediately appealing poems here were part of a commission from Canterbury City Council for the Seaside Sonnets project for Herne Bay, including the sure-to-be-classic ‘How to Leave the World that Worships Should’: ‘Let faxes butter-curl on dusty shelves./ Let junk mail build its castles in the hush/ Of other people’s halls. Let deadlines burst/ And flash like glorious fireworks somewhere else.’ The superb Test Series is a homage to some of the senior men in the poet’s life and includes ‘Corridor of Uncertainty’: ‘only after years of this/ did I feel how similar we were,/ forged in the nights I sobbed to sleep/ when no-one came to tuck me in.’ The corridor of uncertainty is a cricketing term meaning a notional narrow area just outside a batsman’s off stump. It supplies what T. S. Eliot would have called an ‘objective correlative’, an appropriate vehicle for the poem’s emotion. In fact it seems to me that Ros explores a corridor of uncertainty in almost all the poems here – uncertainty of parenting, of childhood love, of understanding, of wife or husband. This corridor can be a lonely and painful place. It’s certainly full of grief and shadow. It’s a tribute to Barber’s skill that the poems never ever droop towards the mawkish or sentimental. As you’d expect of a trained biologist and programmer, there’s a steady scientific nerve engaged in Barber’s work, much like the father she recalls in ‘Corridor’: Why are you crying? My father said./ He wanted to know. He worked in specifics;/ a scientist, a man of quantum/ cause and effect, of splitting matter/ to its smallest particles to get at/ the essence of it. This Material rates a highly commended – an ideal Christmas gift for poetry lovers and a collection of memorable poems.

Lemmy
Lemmy takes Brighton Lemmy, frontman of veteran thrash metallers Motorhead, recently visited Brighton Institute of Modern Music to hold a Q & A session with students. The metal legend watched rockers Arty Karate perform a cover of his band’s biggest hit, ‘Ace of Spades’ before leaving a message on the college’s Wall of Fame.
Post-punk reunion and premiere Bands who featured in the 1981 post-punk documentary Listen to London, including The Papers, Thompson Twins, Rio and the Robots and BIM, reunite for a one-off gig at Brighton Coalition on 7 December. The gig marks the premiere of the original documentary’s rerelease, taking place the previous night (Saturday6 Dec). Brighton Coalition, 6 & 7 December
Mad Memphis punk-pop genius Jay Reatard talks to Nick Aldwinckle ahead of his UK tour Why did The Reatards split? That band was on a pretty quick trajectory, from being this fifteen year old kid in his bedroom making punk rock to being a lot less sensitive and a lot more angry. By the second album it was completely surly and then three years later it was a bloody mess. Every show was me smashing glass on my face, completely over the top; fistfights on stage with band members. Everybody was drunk or on drugs and it quickly went from something that was fun to something painful. At that point, you have to end something because you’ve already brought it to its limit. Is there any of the madness with your current band? No, nothing, man. We just play the songs. There’s a lot of headbanging but that’s it. I’m happier now. I’m older now, so it suits me a lot better. I might have thought twelve years ago that I’m a boring old fart, but now I’m feeling ok. Are you still as angry as when you first started out? I think I am, but I just deal with it differently. I feel like I’m able to focus my energy a lot better than when I was a kid. It felt like I was on fire all the time; out of my mind before. I have those feelings now but as far as music goes, I’m not necessarily toning it down at all, but have more control.
want people to scream at the top of their voices and not hear themselves. How’s it been since you signed with Matador? They’re a great label and they know what they’re doing. We’ll just see how well they put out records by people like me and how long they can put up with me! If things didn’t get any bigger than they are now, after five years I might get tired of it and might want to see some growth. But right now, I’m ok. What’s your formula for the perfect song? A simple melody that’s easy to remember, different enough to something else but familiar. You don’t have to think about it too much. Simple lyrics. People try and say too much with songs. More people can relate to the darker side of things. People want to listen to music more when they’re upset than when they’re happy. When people write this ‘smile on your brother’ bullsh*t, it’s like a f***ing cartoon, you know? The majority of people are miserable.
What are your live shows like? I don’t ever want to play a gig where the performer has to ask the crowd to be quiet. I

Why are you so prolific? What I’m motivated by might be different to why a lot of people are making music. I’m motivated by the fear of running out of ideas.

MUSIC REVIEWS A weekly review of local and national releases It’s been over 40 years since Neil Young drifted down from Canada to the USA in the mid ‘60s, and in that time he has become one of the giants of rock’n’roll. Sugar Mountain (Live At Canterbury House 1968) is a fascinating document of the time when he was just venturing out solo, and here we have the pure acoustic versions of Buffalo Springfield songs, almost the entire debut solo album plus ‘Birds’, which was not too appear on record until the 1970s in After The Goldrush. Invariably, Young’s gift for songwriting shines through, as does his relaxed chat between songs. The unlikely partnership of electronic techno innovator Kieran Hebden and veteran jazz and funk drummer Steve Reid has filled the void for jazz-groove improvisations that used to be a big part of the alternative musical landscape back in the ‘60s and ‘70s. New album NYC is their most accessible yet, combining elongated afro-beat jazz and funk grooves with Hebden’s glitchy electronica. Everything about them is starting to reek of the halcyon days of ‘improv’ back in the ‘60s, but nevertheless they are a breath of fresh air in the sometimes stagnant ponds of jazz. Really risky following in the footsteps of a certain Nick Drake, but Gareth Bonello aka The Gentle Good has marked himself as too good to ignore. Debut album While You Slept I Went Out Walking Is an exquisite acoustic album, full of gorgeous folk-inspired songs, played in a technically adept fingerstyle, and with the occasional overlay of acoustics and strings. With a voice that sounds similar to Drake’s, he’s taken the brave step of singing some of the songs in his native Welsh. Drake never did that, did he! A few singles now, starting with the Mobo-nominated singersongwriter described as the ‘Franco-Nigerian Corinne Bailey Rae’, Asa (pronounced ‘Asha’). That description says it all, really. Way too gentle melodies and plodding along acoustic blandness is the order of the day on latest single ‘No one Knows’. Utterly forgettable, you can imagine patronising white British world music aficionados lapping this up for no reason other than its country of origin. Next up, and a lot more promising, is BIMM girl-group Mascara and their debut single, ‘Headline News’. A solid first release, this is a mix of soul vocals and swinging, party-starting big band sounds. With the current trend for retro female vocalists along the lines of Amy Winehouse and Duffy, Mascara may well have a bright future. Fellow BIMMers, Riot Riot are also releasing their debut single, ‘When Tonight Kicks’, and this couldn’t be any different to Mascara. Jingly jangly guitar and laddish vocals gives this the air of a louder Kooks or more angular Kaiser Chiefs. A feeling of overproduction makes this sound too glossy – not good for a rock band – but you could do a lot worse when looking for straightforward indie rock than this.

Brighton’s only weekly gay guide NEWS
Burning bright Sussex Beacon has special reason to celebrate World Aids Day on Monday. This time last year the future of Brighton's Aids and HIV treatment centre in Bevendean Road was uncertain. It was partway through a year in which Hove’s Martlets Hospice was helping to reorganise its troubled finances. There had been redundancies, the ten patient rooms were rarely all full and no one knew if there was a future for a specialist respite centre such as this – one of only two in the country. As 2008 ends, things look vastly different. The Martlets has stepped back to allow Sussex Beacon to regain its independence. There are seven new members of staff, including general manager Kat Williams, former director of women’s mental health charity Threshold, and clinical manager Andrew Powell, who has extensive experience in the Aids and HIV field in Sussex. Now all ten rooms are consistently occupied, morale is high and the future looks much more secure – provided Sussex Beacon retains the support of the community and of statutory funders. Kat said: “We were pleased the Martlets kept us going and now we want to move forward as the Sussex Beacon with our own identity.” Sussex Beacon is working hard to reinvolve service users and has a new service user forum in December. On site, staff and service users mix together in communal relaxation areas. Andrew said when he arrived he saw this as a real strength: “I am very impressed by the commitment of the staff here. We are working towards real integration and meeting people's needs.” About 80 percent of service users are gay or bisexual men and most others are women who have been tested for HIV during pregnancy. Recently a monthly women’s group with a creche was set up. Andrew said: “Whereas all the rooms would have been filled with people dying, now they’re filled with people coping with living with HIV. It is quite challenging in that it has to be very adaptive. The care is more complex now than it's ever been.” Service users might also be living with mental health, drug or alcohol issues. HIV exacerbates the effects of growing older, with higher risks of osteoporosis and heart disease. Sadly, infection rates locally and nationally continue to rise. In Brighton, the rate of new diagnoses is double the national average, possibly caused by a combination of increasing infections, more testing and people moving to Brighton because of high quality services. Andrew worries there is increasing complacency surrounding HIV: “Medication does provide for a better quality of life but people don’t understand the ongoing health risks and side effects.” Side effects of anti-retro viral medication can include nerve damage, risk of heart disease and renal failure. Patients have to stick very closely to their regime, sometimes taking more than a dozen pills a day. Jackie Titley, the Beacon’s head of health management services, said: “It is hard work learning to live with HIV.” Sussex Beacon is preparing for its Brighton half marathon, due to take place on Sunday, 22 February. The event needs 200 volunteers. Email cath.mattos@sussexbeacon.org.uk or call 01273 694222. The Beacon is also looking for a trustee with business or marketing experience and has World Aids Day raffle tickets for sale.

William Tells Will Harris is getting blinded by boffins and not happy with the result According to Channel 4, I am officially 53 percent gay. Which is not the same as bi-curious (a label reserved for being stuck in a lift with Cheryl Cole), but that I rate about average in stereotypical behaviours for a gay man, and am “a happy and well-adjusted homo guy”. Well, thanks for the affirmation, Channel 4, but it shows how much you know! You may be asking yourself how a commercial television channel was able to chart so precisely where I sit on the sliding scale between butch and fey? Perhaps you’re wondering whether they enlisted Countdown stalwart Carol Vorderman to do the sums for them (they didn’t, although of course I’d have had six from the bottom). In reality, I arrived at my magic number through the far more ordinary route of the Gay-OMeter on Channel 4’s website.
capable of unlocking the darkest mysteries of human sexuality (not pausing to consider, of course, why Channel 4 would possess such a marvel and still provide work for John McCririck). I decided to take the test again, this time as a lesbian. Carefully, I changed my details on the start screen and entered exactly the same answers as I had before, strangely excited to see – were I to magically cross the gender divide – whether I’d end up as Sandi Thom or Sandi Toksvig. The answer? A meagre 56 percent gay, decidedly and depressingly normal. I tried it as a straight man: 53 percent again. Then as a straight woman: 54 percent, “a happy and welladjusted hetero lady”. But by this stage I was feeling neither happy nor well-adjusted. As it turned out, I’d become Mr Average.
“Strangely excited to see whether I’d end up as Sandi Thom or Sandi Toksvig“ The Gay-O-Meter is a quiz designed to assess how camp or butch you are, taking into account your sexuality, which you have to declare before answering thirty questions. They then record your responses to such gems as: “Do you own a pair of leather trousers?” and “Do you get off on lesbian pornography?“ and present their final evaluation as a percentage score. Regular readers, however, might have guessed that I wasn’t going to be satisfied with my 53 percent. No, somehow I’d convinced myself that this Gay-OMeter wasn’t just a random diversion for office workers to while away their Friday afternoons, but was a highly advanced piece of technology,
I decided to look for a second opinion, badgering an ex, who had the misfortune of being on MSN, into taking the test for me. His result, was enough to set my mind at rest: 43 percent. If the Gay-O-Meter had ranked a man who sings along to Disney songs in the bath as butcher than me, there was definitely a spanner in the works somewhere. I’m not sure what can be gleaned from all of this, apart from the fact that human sexuality is much too complicated a mystery to be resolved by the boffins at Channel 4 and adding -O-Meter onto the end of things makes them sound a lot more scientific than they probably are. www.channel4.com/life/microsites/G /gayometer/

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! ITV 9pm Personally, the fact they are celebrities is reason enough to keep them IN the jungle. Otherwise when they leave you are bombarded with images of them prancing around in adverts wearing nothing but underwear. I hate this programme and to be honest I don’t see the point in it. How many of you can actually make it through an entire episode without having to hide your eyes away from what ever foul grub the ‘celebrities’ are having to eat. And I use the term ‘celebrity’ loosely, because I have no idea who most of the people in the jungle are. This show causes nothing but tabloid headlines. Jordan and Peter, the lady from Catatonia and that bloke from some soap, Myleene in a bikini. If I was a celebrity and my career was slowly dwindling down the pan I would not head to the jungle to rescue it. Equally, if I was a celebrity and felt like I needed some more exposure, I would get myself arrested or be seen taking snogging some boy band member, but under no circumstances would I eat a part of an animal’s genitalia! This is one of those love it or hate it programmes and I hate it. In actual fact I have found it difficult to find anyone who actually likes it. I just double-checked on the website and I am sure I just about recognise three of the contestants, but I am happy to announce for all the male viewers that there is at least one glamour model entering the jungle! Which is great, I suppose. I don’t think it is a good idea to send a load of celebrities into the jungle and force them to eat all sorts of insides of animals. I don’t think this kind of programme in general is a good idea (Big Brother included). Personally, the fascination has worn off. I don’t see how this is that much different from all the other series we have had. I hate how these shows become newsworthy. I hate how they take over every spare minute on the TV channels. Do we really care that so and so sat really close to so and so for nearly three minutes? No, I didn’t think so. And who wants to be watching people sleeping, albeit in a jungle, 24 hours a day? The one person I did recognise who is heading into the jungle is Robert Kilroy-Silk. I personally think he is slimy and would quite comfortably watch him squirm. But even so, I have no real interest in it. After all, what would I actually gain from a programme like this other than a more acute gag reflex?
Brick Lane ★★★★✩ (2007, Channel 4, 10pm. Dir Sarah Gavron) The story of a beautiful young Bangladeshi woman, Nazneen (Chatterjee), who arrives in 1980s East End London for an arranged marriage.

Clone BBC3, 11.45pm This new comedy starring Jonathan Price is deliberately part futuristic and part Frankenstein. Even down to the morally questionable clone creator Dr Victor Blenkinsop – whose creation backfires causing him to go on the run with it, considering a patchwork bit of fixing with a woman’s brain. Ugh.

thursday 27 Angelina Jolie: A Culture Show Special BBC2, 7pm The lady with the luscious lips and the Oscar on her mantlepiece talks movies with Mr Kermode. With so much furore surrounding her, her relationships and her brood of children we’ve almost forgotten that this is a multi award-winning actress. Is another on the cards? Find out.
Jacksons Are Coming Channel 4, 9pm One minute Michael’s joining his musical siblings for a tour, the next he’s denying it. Who knows the truth of the legendary Motown family, the Jacksons? Hopefully film-maker Jane Preston does, as she gains unprecedented access to the family, finding out what the jiggins is going on. Captivating.
Life ITV3, 10pm This is shaping up quite well – another triumph for Brit actors fronting American shows with passable US accents. This time the honours go to former Bond villain Damian Lewis, playing an exonerated cop who returns to work after a spell in the clink. This week, his partner spots a rapist at her AA meeting.

friday 28 Parents Of The Band BBC1, 8.30pm Ever wondered about that unfulfilled ambition all those ‘80s one-hit wonders had? So did the scriptwriters of this new drama series. Phil (Jimmy Nail) decides to steer his son’s new band, due to his earlier brief expertise, much to the chagrin of the kids. Then the other parents decide to stick their oars in. So it starts.
Live At The Apollo BBC1, 10.35pm We all wondered what was going to take over from Jonathan Ross while he took his suspension from the BBC like a contrite radio star. Well, here it is. A nifty idea to go back to an old and tested format, filling the stage at the Apollo with great acts. This kicks off with the fab Michael McIntyre introducing Frankie Boyle.
Leslie Ash: Face To Face ITV2, 9pm Another chance to catch this candid conversation with Leslie Ash about that infamous trout pout and how it affected her career. Then she examines the rapidly growing cosmetic beauty industry, highlighting its lack of regulation. But with dozens of other TV shows promoting plastic surgery, will this put anyone off?
