More of your favourite columnists are back this week after their Christmas break. Will’s moved forward in the magazine and has set himself some pretty tough challenges for the new year (p8). On the same page, Alison is bitterly fed up with the cold but has a found a pleasant way to cope with it. We also have a new writer – rising comedy talent Seann Walsh, the Brightonian who is making a big splash round the country. It’s the time of year when thoughts are turning to the gym – and not all of them positive. In his first Latest column, Seann doesn’t hold back on what he thinks of gym bunnies (p7). Seann is currently touring with British stand-up star Stephen K Amos. Check out Victoria Nangle’s interview with Stephen, and find out what he really thinks of Seann (p11). Phil Mills is back with news about what nearly-bankrupt Allan Love of Loves Fish Restaurant in Kemp Town plans to do next (p13). Also in the news section, read some of the letters we had in response to Dani’s diatribe about single mums (p14) and find out Latest Sport’s predictions for 2009. There’s a new theatre company in town and they don’t pull any punches with what they think about Brighton’s existing theatre scene. Hear all about Two Bins and their ‘in yer face’ leanings in Ralph Miller’s interview with founder Frank McCabe (p21). In the film section (p22) find local listings and read Daniel Craig’s take on his role in Defiance as Tuvia Bielski, the Russian Jew who led thousands to defy the Nazis by living in the forest of what is now Belarus. In books, Ralph Miller interviews writer and broadcaster Tony Hawks, author of Round Ireland with a Fridge (p25). Some of us at Latest have piled on the pounds and are wondering what to do about it. If, like Seann, you can’t face the gym, there is an alternative – Beautique Brighton offers a revolutionary treatment that tones, sculpts, lifts and firms while tackling cellulite, stubborn fat and toxins. Read more on page 15. Were you at Playroom at Digital? If so, you might feature in this week’s Jaime Til Dawn. (p27) I hear Playroom is back next month, keep reading our club listings to find out more. See this week’s listings (p29) to find out when D’n’B legend Grooverider is in Brighton. Brighton College has topped an independent league table, hear more in news (p12) or read all about what the school can offer your child in Latest Homes (p13). Also in Latest Homes, Sawyer & Co have taken over Tingley’s Sales (p15) and columnists Molly, Marc, The Landlady are all back after Christmas. Meanwhile Andrew has braved moving at the busiest time of year during the festive period and is starting a new life back in his natural home (p5).

COMPETITIONS
latestdiary With Tim Richardson Burning The Clocks On Sunday 21 December 2008, Burning The Clocks started with a VIP reception at the Corn Exchange and this year went back in time. After a series of wider themes, Burning the Clocks returned to its central theme of Time to celebrate Same Sky’s 21st birthday and the 15th Burning the Clocks. Burning the Clocks is an antidote to the excesses of the commercial Christmas and brings people together to make paper and willow lanterns that are carried through the city and burnt on the beach as a token for the end of the year. No lantern is better for its purpose than any other, all are unique to the maker and precious but all are given up to be burnt to greet the lengthening days.
David Van Day party On 18 December 2008 David Van Day, fresh back from I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here in Australia held an impromptu party for family, friends and some supporting fans at the Latest MusicBar. A very green jungle juice cocktail along with Bushtucker canapés were served to guests, who included DJ Mike Read who was in the jungle for the 2004 series of I’m A Celebrity. After the drinks reception guests moved downstairs in the hope the David would give us a rendition of ‘Biff Baff Boff‘, the next ‘Insania‘, and the song about his jungle experience, but David declined on this occasion!

Seann’s world Seann Walsh is keeping away from the gym and is happy on his own treadmill
Crash and burn I’ve never been inside a gym. The inside of a gym, to me, is one of those things I have only seen in films or on television, like prison, New York or up Sharon Stone’s skirt. Aspirational television and film depicts the gym matter-of-factly as a sort of retreat, full of mirrors and shiny floors, where young, anatomically perfect urban professionals go to replenish themselves and relinquish the terrible stress of having a well-paid job and a rich social life. Every form of aspirational media operates on the basis that everyone should be rich and beautiful, and would be loathe to acknowledge the possibility of normal people attending the gym. I assume that every gym’s list of members vindicates all the gym stereotypes: people who’ve just realised how fat they are, and whose membership never lasts; musclemen who aspire to look like lubricated tree trunks, albeit tree trunks with minuscule genitalia. The gym, they say, is a popular outlet for the midlife crisis, where men in their fifties begin a futile search for their own twenties. There is another stereotype that casts the gym as an actualisation of clumsy, repressed male homoeroticism – full of bicepkissing pinheads with enormous muscles and tiny heads comparing each other’s arms and talking about Rambo in the shower.
When one looks at these stereotypes, it becomes apparent how easy it is to caricature gym-goers. They even do it to themselves. My brother proudly attends the gym regularly and refers to his biceps as his ‘bad boys’. He walks around in his pants telling me that I should go to the gym. They all do this, they use the same flawed argument that all evangelists use. “Do as I do, and you can be just like me,” they say, failing to see that that’s precisely why we don’t do what they do. We have become obsessed with health, fitness and lifestyle. Our obsession has given us so many reference points in these areas that it has become easy to deconstruct people into types according to their lifestyle: whether or not they jog; or eat their five a day; or count calories; or drink alcohol; or smoke; or eat kebabs; or cycle everywhere; and so forth. These choices have become deeply symbolic, so much so that you can build a character from a small assembly of lifestyle choices. Take someone who won’t eat wheat, chooses soya milk and avoids cheese, smokes weed sometimes and refuses to own a car. This is the sort of person you get a lot of in Brighton. They’re very probably a student. They wear baggy clothes and sandals, and they can play enough chords on the guitar to recite Donovan songs at festivals where everyone smells of their own faeces. Or take someone who drinks and smokes heavily, eats mainly fried food that was unhealthy even before it was fried, and has literally never heard of spinach. This is the type of person who is Scottish. The cultural weight of these choices is such that you can even use them as a basis for assumptions about people’s politics: vegans probably vote Green; people who eat foie gras probably vote Tory; people who have never seen a courgette before probably don’t vote. We do judge each other as types, and I’m simply not the type who goes to the gym. I drink and smoke. I think that curry and cheese go well together. Last night, I slept in my clothes so that I didn’t have to wipe toast crumbs off my bed. People who do these things do not go to the gym. So I’m just not the gym type. Maybe one day I will be. Maybe one day, if I live long enough to have a midlife crisis.

CITYSPEAKS
Swanning around Alison Swann is wanting to swap places with the polar bears: they’d like the cold I have just spent five days in Munich, sightseeing in temperatures that would have made a polar bear feel quite at home. I am not a polar bear, and the irony of said bears’ habitat disappearing on a daily basis as our world becomes ever more frostbitten and cold has not been lost on me. I am not happy in the cold, but some people are. They wrap up and run around having a great time. I can just about cope with one big woollen coat and hat to hide my horrified face from the world. I especially hate winter clothing of the ‘sporting’ variety. There is no escaping the fact that pretty much everyone looks like they have been wrapped in a shiny duvet and had the whole monstrosity secured by a succession of elastic bands up and down the body. During my trip to Munich I was taken out to the Alps and dressed in said attire for my ‘hike’ to the top. I couldn’t decide what I hated more, the outfit, the cold or my raging vertigo doing an inner scream of “Get me out of here!“ It was exhilarating, but hey, I’ve done it now, well done, tick that off the list of things I never really wanted to do in the first place and move on. Back to being cold. For a day or so after my return, I was quite blissful in the relative warmth here in Blighty. I am now back to saying “Isn’t it cold?“ 15,000 times a day, like I need to confirm my suspicions with others who agree and then are pleased, as if I have confirmed that they are not in some sort of purgatorial state of coldness. It is now so cold that I have had to give in and stop sleeping
alone in order to not die of hypothermia. I had a willing victim lined up, so this isn’t too bad in terms of options. I think we need to encourage the sharing of beds, and not just for carnal purposes, although that definitely helps on the warming-up front. It could be like that government campaign in the 70s when there was a water shortage, only a lot less unsavoury – I would rather share a bed with a friend than their tepid bath water. It comes down to the fact I can’t get my head around the winter-weather time bomb. It happens every year, and yet, I still remain surprised. I have learned, to my cost, that the seafront itself is best avoided unless you are planning to take on a challenge of which Last Man Standing would be proud. When I lived on Marine Parade I was regularly almost lifted off my feet as I turned into Portland Place to get down to my flat from the top of Kemp Town. I had to call my flatmate and beg for support as I feared I would end up doing a Mary Poppins and flying to Dieppe. So I avoid the seafront. Brighton is a fabulous place to live in the summer. All is good with the world. Then the turn happens. The sea turns grey and rises up in an magnificent froth, the starlings start making their murmuration air sculptures around the remnants of the West Pier and the swell begins. Except it is not swell. At least not in my world. Although it could be a lot worse. Brighton, unlike many seaside resorts, lives all year round. It beats and bleeps and welcomes all comers to its many experiences. A friend of mine went to Westonsuper-Mare recently to do a comedy gig; I asked him how it went down and if he took the piss out of Weston-super-Mare at all? “Oh yes,” he said. “I told them they’d burnt down the only decent thing about it [the pier].” This friend is a drag queen and is allowed to bite like a viper. That’s what is worth thinking about as you struggle down the road cursing the weather – the payoff. That we don’t live in a ‘wish you weren’t here‘ seaside town over the winter months. So I’ll stop moaning and stomach the seasonal challenge – Brighton keeps its heartbeat going. I just wish it had some heated pavements and an escalator to get me to work in the morning.
“I think we need to encourage the sharing of beds, and not just for carnal purposes“
Man on a mission Will Harris decides this year he will try thirty things he’s never done before To me, 2008 will always be The Year I Broke Into A Festival. Which is not to say that was the only thing I did last year, but – when I cast my mind back over the past 366 days of my increasingly foggy existence – it’s those few short hours that stand out. The reason, I think, wasn’t the experience itself (it was fun, but a few hours flat on your back in a field wearing an ill-fitting straw hat and talking to clouds is hardly life-defining stuff), but because it wasn’t something I would usually do.
“Looking back over my 26 years, I wonder how many opportunities I’ve missed by playing it safe, sticking to what I know” They say to err is human, but to err on the side of caution is a choice humans make for ourselves. Me, I go to work and I come home. I shop in the same supermarket each week, where I stick to foods I know I like. I meet up with a certain group of friends and we go out drinking when we have money or we stay in and watch DVDs when we don’t. It’s a good life, a stable life, but I can’t shake the feeling that perhaps there should be more to it. Looking back over my 26 years, I wonder how many opportunities I’ve missed by playing it safe, sticking to what I know. What if, then, instead of those same tired resolutions I trot out each January to drink less and join the gym (invariably ending up with me paralytic on a cross-trainer somewhere), I resolve to make 2009 The Year I Tried New Things? Thirty new things, to be exact, from something as seemingly simple as being in 8 latest 7
public without hair wax, to the challenge of running 26 miles non-stop (quite a feat for someone who normally only runs in emergencies). So here it is: Thirty New Things, my manifesto for the year ahead. Some of them I’m looking forward to, some of them fill me with dread, but all of them are achievable. Whether or not I achieve them, well, you’ll have to keep reading to find out. 1. Learn a foreign language. 2. Ride a horse. 3. Contemplate life without hair products. 4. Spend the night in a squat. 5. Touch a spider (not by accident). 6. Tell TV star Stephanie Beacham I love her. 7. Make a friend over the age of 50 (hopefully the result of six). 8. Ride in the back of a police car (the more probable result of six). 9. Go on a protest march. 10. Become a drag queen for the night. 11. Donate £100 of my own money to the needy. 12. Donate at a sperm bank (ideally to raise that £100). 13. Go to a football match. 14. Go to church. 15. Resolve a long-standing feud. 16. Attempt a month without TV, DVDs and video games. 17. Attempt a week as a vegetarian. 18. Attempt a day of smiling and being lovely to everyone 19. Break my karaoke virginity. 20. Learn a musical instrument. 21. Climb a mountain. 22. Look after a baby. 23. Get punched in the face. 24. Try my hand as a human statue. 25. Randomly ride a train to its destination. 26. Start a fire (from scratch, not arson). 27. Run a marathon. 28. Snog a celebrity. 29. Find out if my parents ever really loved each other. 30. Grow a moustache.

None other than Radio 2 DJ Chris Evans popped over to their Cyprus base, to present his Drive Time Show live from the soldiers barracks. Commanding Officer Lieutenant Colonel Doug Chalmers said: “I would like to thank Chris and his team very much for coming out to Cyprus and visiting the troops and their families.“ Ahh!
Crunch bunch
Trees please
Love’s Fish Restaurant, which was featured on Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares show has closed because of the dreaded credit crunch. Love’s, based in St James’s Street, Kemp Town, Brighton, was given a full makeover after chef Ramsay convinced owner Allan Love to completely change his format. The show did in fact transform the business, but sadly last week a notice appeared on the front door saying that because of the credit crunch and lack of bookings, Love’s restaurant has had to close for business. So, Gordon Ramsay couldn’t make it work – maybe fortunes will change for another celebrity chef, also to open in Brighton. Channel 4 fave Jamie Oliver's new offering, which is an Italian eaterie, is due to open this March. The venue will be on Black Lion Street in The Lanes and the restaurant will be part of a new development, which also includes a karaoke bar, and much needed office space.
Star of the excellent series Spooks and Cold Feet, Brighton-born actress Hermione Norris, has been encouraging the people of Sussex to recycle their old Christmas cards for charity. Hermione is a patron of The Woodland Trust, who will be using the money to replant thousands of trees with the cash. If you have any old cards knocking about then drop them into Marks and Spencer, Tesco, TK Maxx or WHSmith.
Pop pizza Spotted: band members of Maroon 5 tucking into large pizzas at Donatello, I am told they also ordered a side dish of beetroot salad, red cabbage and red onion.

Bare cheek Brian Mitchell and Joseph Nixon’s thoroughly scurrilous Brighton column
Spotted… With Your Mum Coming out of Waitrose on Western Road… That actor. Oh what’s his name? He was in Secret Army. Your Auntie Pauline once bumped into him at a fête in Norwich. Lovely man, apparently. Oh, what is his name? It’ll come to me in a moment. No, it’s gone. Talking loudly into a mobile phone, strolling along the seafront… Thingy. Oh, you know who I mean. He was in that film we saw at Christmas. Colin Firth. No, Peter Firth. No – Peter Finch. Oh no, wait a minute, Peter Finch is dead, isn’t he? Anyway, whoever he is he was good in that film. Or am I thinking of that other one with that Sharon Stone in it? Filling up a fancy new sports car at a Hove petrol station… One of these long-haired pop stars. Don’t bother asking me his name. They all look the same to me. Mucky buggers the lot of them. Chatting with a male companion in the lobby of The Grand… That girl. You know. Never off the telly. Speaking of which, remember your cousin Lynn? Well once she was on this course in Peterborough. Touch typing it was. Of course her brother Mark got killed in that car crash when he was 17. Their poor mother never recovered. Anyway, she was in Peterborough, when this chap comes up to her… (3,000 words of maternal reminiscence have been cut here for reasons of space) …in Rotherham. And, would you believe it, the AA man turned out to be the father of this girl who’s never off the telly. Fern Britton. No – Cotton. No, tell a lie, it is Fern Britton. Engrossed in a magazine, waiting at the station… Someone from EastEnders. Don’t ask me. I never watch it these days. Bloody rubbish it is.

LIBRA (SEP 23–OCT 22)
Two weeks into 2009 and already you are making enemies. Try adopting the ‘count to ten’ method in confrontational situations. Hardened Ariens may need to take off their shoes and socks.
Time for Cancer to come out of its shell, not literally, that would be dangerous. But perhaps a more open approach to life would help – have you ever considered naturism?
Scales not only symbolise balance but also justice. Volunteer for work with ex-offenders, apply to be a magistrate, join the police and organise a Neighbourhood Watch group.
CAPRICORN (DEC 21–JAN 19). It’s all moan, moan, moan, and to be brutal, we are all getting tired of it. So, once and for all Capricorn – GET A LIFE!!! Mmm, I do feel so much better now.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20–FEB 19)
Stop being such a softie, we all know that this big doe-eyed cow routine is simply a front, and to be frank we prefer it when you are a bit of a beast. Mooooooo.
Leos with a tendency to preening should throw away their hair straighteners and mirrors and adopt a more down-to-earth approach to life. Out with grooming and in with modesty.
Usually there is a sting in the tail of Scorpio’s chart but right now they are a quiet group, almost benign and we should all take advantage of the peace for a while.
Aquarians will be busy doing nothing as usual, but leave them be. Altering their mind state can be a dangerous act and is best left alone. Awww, nice Aquarians, there there.

The ‘now you see me now you don’t’ routine might seem clever and funny to you Gemini, but to be honest it’s starting to get on everyone’s nerves. Lighten up baby.
Virgoans should use their tidy minds to help others. Find a friend whose life is untidy; get it in order. Do it when they go out and look at their faces when they see what you have done.
Sagittarius, how I worry about you. Always sleepy, this star sign is the twilight zone of the astrological world. Use this time to knit bed jackets, balaclavas and mittens.
Stop fishing for compliments and start fishing for a purpose in life. Or should that be porpoise? Are porpoises endangered, are they edible? I prefer a nice bit of Bardsley’s haddock.

INTERVIEW angst or major dramas. I feel that my life is better that way. That’s the thing about finding the funny – if you can just smile at everything and take everything with a pinch of salt and a bit of positivity in your life then whatever trials and tribulations you have, just seem to run smoothly.” And so says his touring show, Find The Funny, finding things to laugh at in every aspect of life. In it he nominates somebody as a laugh counter, breaking comedy down to its bare necessity of the number of laughs he can garner in an hour. Does this make his comedy more inclusive? “Absolutely. Because my comedy – when I talk to people in the audience – my comedy’s not cruel. It’s not about having a go at people. There are no victims in the show. Nobody is made to look like an idiot. And it’s all about inclusiveness. “Two nights ago in St Alban’s, there were 800 people in the audience, and I asked the audience: ‘Are there any gay people here?‘ One guy said yes. One person in the whole audience. I said: ‘What’s your name?‘ and he told me his name. ‘How old are you?‘ ‘Seventeen‘. And I was going – oh, my God, you’re seventeen but for some reason, in this audience, here in St Alban’s, you found it okay to go ‘this is who I am’. This is what it’s all about. It’s all about making other people aware.” He’s quiet for a moment.
“I don’t try to have any angst or major dramas. I feel my life is better that way. That’s the thing about finding the funny“
Funny fella Award-winning comic Stephen K Amos talks to Victoria Nangle about birthdays and ‘finding the funny‘ ahead of his Brighton show Stephen K Amos is sounding languid – like the cat that got the cream. As well he might. It’s his birthday today and he’s savouring the aftershocks of his first ever surprise birthday party the night before. “My other half totally convinced me that I had an interview in the West End. I arrived for this ridiculous interview and all my friends and family were there. A surprise party. And I’ve never, ever had someone organise a surprise party for me before.” This is a surprise to me,
because Stephen is one of the loveliest men I’ve ever met. “It was just brilliant,” he exclaims. “I’m just a chilled, chilled, happy boy.” I tell him it sounds like he has the partner he deserves. “Thank you. Don’t make me cry.” I met him briefly at last year’s Edinburgh Festival and he greeted me with a hug when I told him I was going to see his show that night. “Do you know, that’s my thing. I’m so – I don’t want to sound like a w*nker – relaxed, I’m so chilled. You know, I don’t try to have any
“Listen to me, a black man from south London, from African stock and gay. These aren’t the best things to be given in life. But you make it work. And we all, at the end of the day, have similarities. We all have situations that bond us together as people. As human beings. And when you can make people laugh and it’s all about inclusiveness then you’re onto a winning streak. I’m just bowled over.” He laughs. So what’s the trick to good comedy? “Truth. Honesty. An audience can see if you’re just going through the motions. If you’re going through a standard set. If you’re using swear words for the sake of it. They can sniff it all out easily.” And are there any young acts coming up he can recommend? “I’ve got this young lad from Brighton who’s been going for two years, right, and he’s now my support act. His name’s Seann Walsh. I never had the opportunity that he’s got, to support an act that’s got 800 people coming to see him. So I’ve given him a platform. He’s very different to me. I go on stage in a suit – very dapper. He goes on looking very… trampish – for want of a better word. And he does his thing with truth and honesty.” Stephen K Amos is disarmingly happy and sincere. And modest. “At the end of the day what I do isn’t rocket science. It’s not brain surgery. I’m not a doctor. It’s quite easy when you get to know how to do it.” But it takes ten years to get to know how to do it, I remind him. “Hello… yeah!” And with a smirk he’s off for more birthday interviews.

Rob Johnston, 22, from Brighton, wrote that he didn’t like Muslims, Americans, taxi drivers and chavs. The blog has since been removed. Sussex Police said the comments were “wholly inappropriate”. Brighton College topped an independent league table. The school was named best coeducational boarding school in the UK by www.bestschools.co.uk It follows an inspection by Ofsted in November 2008 which declared boarding at the school to be “outstanding“. More than 400 people have been arrested in a drink drive campaign since November. Sussex Police will continue running Operation Replay until Sunday.

Fringe deadline There are just a few weeks left to register if you want to run an event in Brighton Festival Fringe. Registration for performers and promoters will close on 9 February. Last year’s fringe was bigger than ever, with more than 100,000 tickets sold for 640 shows in 200 venues. Signs indicate that this year’s will be even bigger. Anyone working in any artistic medium can take part, from theatre to dance, visual arts and music. Venues range from allotments to a renovated bus station. This year there will even be an event held on a yacht. Fringe spokeswoman Kate Morrison said: “The fringe provides the ideal platform to showcase your work in one of Britain’s most irrepressibly artistic cities. Don’t miss the boat!”
Fringe 2009 runs from 2 to 25 May. It will end as usual with the Latest Awards, our awards ceremony celebrating the best of the fringe and the Brighton Festival, held in the Spiegeltent. Art print and poster gallery artrepublic, of Bond Street, Brighton, has come on board to sponsor the visual arts section of the fringe. Marketing director Andrew Milledge said: “The fringe offers an opportunity to publicise a wider range of artists. In terms of an outlet for the visual arts, it’s probably the best annual event.” The fringe’s other key sponsors are First Capital Connect, Southern Water and jeweller Jeremy Hoye.

New Day David Van Day is to face a gruelling fitness regime and possibly plastic surgery to overhaul his image for a TV show. The Brighton singer, who recently took part in I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here, is to appear in Pop Goes The Band for Living TV in February. He and former Dollar bandmate Thereza Baker will get complete makeovers. The show will also overhaul the images of Bucks Fizz, 911, Shakatak, Visage and Cleopatra to bring them into the 21st century. David said: “To think you can have any chance of success looking – shall we say rough – I don’t think it would happen. So, if we really mean this, we’ve got to do it properly and that means getting up to speed and getting our looks right.”

Brighton and Hove City Council leader Mary Mears on making money work 2009 has only just begun, and the council is already working hard to improve the services it offers residents. This year I want a special focus on the core basic services that are vital to people’s everyday lives; such as education, social care, council housing, and street cleaning. These key services matter most to residents and we owe it to them to make them a priority. The council’s overall performance for core services is currently judged by the independent Audit Commission as ‘good’, and was given three out of four stars under its rating system. However I know that with renewed effort we can improve further – so my ambition for 2009 is to offer our residents ‘excellent’ or four-star services. Providing excellent services requires more than promoting high standards alone; it’s also about making value for money central to our work. No-one wants to pay over the odds for services, especially in the current financial climate. That is why my administration has put ‘better use of public money’ at the heart of everything it does. This rigorous approach has paid off as the Audit Commission has judged us to be performing well in all aspects of our financial management. Before we came into administration, the council had two stars for its ‘use of resources’. Now we’re using taxpayers’ money better and we were awarded our three-star rating in December. The Commission recognised that we’re driving down costs and have robust plans for further savings this year.

A core service I particularly want to get right in 2009 is rubbish collection. I want to ensure the streets are clean so we are introducing new communal bins in more than 500 streets to keep pavements tidy and rubbish-free. Shared bins are extremely popular in the 50 or so streets that have used them since 2004 and nine in ten people said those bins made their streets cleaner. Providing more communal bins is part of an ongoing process to improve the council’s Cityclean service. I appreciate there have been lots of changes recently and I’m sorry for the disruption this has caused a few people. However, I’m determined to drive through improvements to the waste service to make it effective, efficient and to save taxpayers more than £1m annually. Finally, 2009 should also see the council working closely with Brighton and Hove Albion to make their dream of a new community stadium home at Falmer a reality. All being well, the club plans to start the main stadium works in April and to kick off the first home match in August 2011.

LATESTNEWS Phil Mills reports on a high profile victim of the credit crunch and the pensioners using their bus passes for a good cause
Out of love A well-known Brighton restaurateur who featured in Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares, before going bust over Christmas, has vowed: “I’ll be back“. Former singer and actor Allan Love, talking to Latest 7, blamed the Government for the closure of Love's Fish Restaurant on St James’s Street but put on a brave face about his future. He said: “The entertainment business is all about people resurrecting themselves, so make no mistake – I shall return, but goodness knows what as.“ Mr Love, 62, has already been approached with new ventures, including one in Australia, but he would dearly love to start up again in Brighton. He believes the business climate in the city will remain tough for months yet, but he’s certain it will bounce back and boom again. "Restaurants are always the first to suffer when money gets tight but they are the first to return when the economy picks up – people become desperate to eat out and to get away from their four walls and staring at the same faces.“ Mr Love said he could have carried on running the restaurant but his bank refused to lend him £20,000. His business took in £750,000 to the year ending last July, but the credit crunch saw takings nose dive overnight. Mr Love is now faced with having to sell his home to meet £500,000 debts and he may well end up, as he put it, sleeping under Brighton Pier. It is a far cry from November, 2007, when his restaurant received nationwide publicity in Ramsay’s restaurant makeover series on Channel 4. Mr Love threw the colourful chef out of his restaurant twice during filming but the pair ended up friends. Mr Love hasn’t heard from Ramsay since the closure but he put a note on his website: “Thank you Gordon Ramsay for all your efforts, at least we tried, eh? Love you!” Mr Love blames another Gordon for his woes. “The Government has pumped billions into financial institutions and the Prime Minister says he is looking at ways to further boost bank lending.“ But, Mr Love said: “It’s all just lip service to make the Government look as though they’ll be helping small businesses and working people. Take my word for it, they are not. “Where was the help when I needed it? Instead, I had to make seven people redundant just after Christmas.” Running a restaurant had been a lifetime ambition for Mr Love, a pop singer in the 80s and who appeared in four movies, eight West End shows including Tommy, and starred as Jesus in Godspell at Her Majesty’s Theatre.

He loved every minute of running the restaurant until the downturn saw customer numbers fall and debts rise. Income fell from £14,000 per week to £4,500 and his health began to suffer. “I went to my bank for help to ask for a loan. I needed about £20,000 to tide me over until things start to pick up again. They wanted to see my books but my accountants refused to hand them over until I had paid what I owed them. It was a vicious circle which resulted in the bank turning me down. “Closing the business was painful but actually a relief in the end. I may have to declare bankruptcy, but at least my health has picked up and I’m starting to sleep again at night.” His debts have mounted and he’s looking at selling his £500,000 detached house in Rottingdean. His mortgage is £430,000 and he owes £30,000 in taxes and a further £20,000 on his bank overdraft and suppliers. “I’ve got about £20 in my back pocket and that’s my lot – but I wasn’t prepared to go on like this and let down my suppliers even more than I have already or my staff who I cared about very much.“ Mr Love, divorced three times and a great grandfather, gave his staff each a bottle of champagne on Christmas Eve but just two days later had to let them go, even though all of his 40 restaurant seats were booked for New Year’s Eve. Mr Love, who ironically hates fish, said if the Government was serious about wanting to help then it should cut red tape and give small businesses a six month VAT holiday and allow them three years time to pay. “This current VAT reduction is rubbish and not helping at all. In fact, it is costing businesses money because price tags and tills need changing. "I’m a victim of this propaganda and I’ll probably end up sleeping under the pier as a result – but I will return.”
“Mr Love is now faced with having to sell his home to meet £500,000 debts and he may well end up sleeping under Brighton Pier”

Mothers’ pride Dear Dani, I read with interest your comments about single parents returning to work and, as a single mother of an 11-year-old, I feel the need to reply. My daughter started secondary school in September last year. So far, the school has closed for three half-days at a few days‘ notice to parents. A further two inset days were scheduled alongside one week for half term. The Christmas holidays were two weeks long (school holidays are 13 weeks per year). Oh, and you know that chesty cold that was doing the rounds? She had it and needed a further three days off sick! Perhaps your aunt or your mother were fortunate enough to have extended family to call upon in times of chickenpox, diarrhoea or school closures. Perhaps as 12-year-olds you and your sister didn't hanker to go to the pier or Churchill Square or all the places children really should be supervised until they are mature enough to be on their own. So come on Dani, what should I do? Give her a key and hope she will be safe? Tell her to be a good girl and read Jane Austen until Mummy gets home? Or, explain that six weeks in the summer, two weeks at Easter, two weeks at Christmas and a week every half term will fly by at a childminder‘s house when she's helping to look after all the younger ones? At the work-focused interview I attended recently, I was told how, if I went back to work, I would be so much better off, have so much more self-esteem, have more of a social life and generally be a much more worthwhile human being. Unfortunately, I wasn't told how to be at work and be the kind of parent every child, in my opinion, needs –.just there for them! Beverley Williams (full-time mother) Dear Dani, I read your latest column with great interest. Have you ever thought of applying for a job at the Daily Mail? They hold single mothers in similar esteem, and they're equally good at demonising all of them with a single example. Yours, Paul Stapleton
Bus woes Dear editor, I must congratulate Brian and Joseph for their Bare Cheek take on the miseries experienced by 81 route bus passengers. Extremely accurate! This situation has been going on for years and although many complaints have been sent, no permanent improvement has occurred. Apart from the bizarre timings of arrivals (usually in the form of nonarrivals) the rolling stock is completely inadequate for the busiest times of travelling and we are packed like the proverbial sardines at the busiest times of day. They are awkward to get onto particuarly for mothers with prams, the disabled and/or elderly. We read of fabulous-sounding new stock being assigned to other routes but nothing alters on the 81 route. I think it is very unfair that we have no choice, living in one of the hilliest areas of the city. I hasten to add that I feel nothing but sympathy for the patient drivers who must feel as frustrated as the passengers with the situation. Yours sincerely, Valerie Griffiths, Albion Hill, Brighton

Latest Sport Round ups and rumblings from the Latest Sports Bunker
Crystal balls Latest Sport warms up for the coming year with the potential sporting highlights of 2009 Well, happy new year to all our readers and what a tumultuous year for sport 2008 was. We witnessed the good, the bad and the CGI fireworks at the Beijing Olympics, Spain's Euro 2008 victory, a tearful allEnglish Champions League final, Lewis Hamilton’s eventual last-second seizure of the F1 crown, Kevin Pietersen’s brilliant reversebatting manoeuvre against New Zealand in the cricket, managerial change at the Albion and stadium building under way up at Falmer. Us lot down in the Latest Sport bunker have wondered what on earth could happen in 2009 to top any of that?
“The Albion make it all the way to Wembley for the final of the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy” Perhaps, we mused, Harry Redknapp will loose the support of the Tottenham fans mid-March after nine defeats in a row with new signing Jermaine Defoe failing to hit the net at all following his obvious big move back to the capital in Harry’s suitcase. Portsmouth then offer Harry the vacant manager’s job back at Fratton Park following Tony Adams’s departure with Jermaine left pondering his future at Spurs – again. “What recession?” claims the player’s agent. Lewis Hamilton could get banned by a court from defending his F1 championship after picking up 12 points on his license for parking in a disabled bay. It is claimed the Spanish traffic official who issued the ticket drives a Renault. The costs for the 2012 London Olympics could end up doubling again with the extra funds probably coming from the sell-off of all UK school playing fields. In order to appease the irate masses angered by the runaway costs, darts becomes an Olympic sport and smoking is allowed in pubs again. Newcastle United fans set up a democratically run and owned supporters’ council that undertakes a fans' coup d’état against hated chairman Mike Ashley with compensation based on proven need. The council immediately votes to become a not-for-profit community organisation by pumping all profits back into the club in order to develop local youth football. This follows a unanimous vote to reinstate Kevin Keegan as manager. King Kev leads a completely home-grown team to the Premiership title in 2010. Andy Murray breaks that perennial British tennis curse by finally winning Wimbledon with an injured ankle having slept with a Kirsten Dunst lookalike after moving to a mock-Tudor mansion on the outskirts of Brighton. Northbrook College in Worthing pips both Oxford and Cambridge to the finish line in The Boat Race after organisers opt to open the competition up to other entries to try and do away with its elitist image. The Albion make it all the way to Wembley for the final of the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy after storming to the top of League One and automatic promotion. Zamora, signed in the January transfer window, scores a hat-trick in the final and is given a knighthood for his services to football – in Brighton.

Brain power Zara Baker embraces change in 2009 with the help of neuro linguistic programming (NLP) for wellbeing
216 Church Road, Hove
01273 770704 01273 722216 Open Monday to Sunday 12–2.30pm and 6–11.30pm
2 Course Meal £9.95*pp
What changes do you want to see in 2009? In unsettling times where recession and the credit crunch dominates, our health and wellbeing is something we can control and take responsibility for. If your new year resolution is the same every year – lose weight, give up smoking – then change needs to be made if you easily fall back into old habits. Maybe it’s time to break these old habits because of health fears or pregnancy. Either way, change is possible with NLP. Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) is one of the fastest growing areas of applied psychology, with just one session (in some cases) being enough to change habits of a lifetime. But what exactly is NLP and how can it work for you? NLP works by looking at how the body and mind affect each other. Emotions affect our health and immune system. NLP taps into our history, so we re-experience past situations, changing the significance of it so we can move on. If you’ve tried to lose weight and failed, NLP can use meditation and hypnosis to identify triggers (eg: stress, low self esteem) that can lead you to over indulging. These blocks can be cleared, allowing you to move on and eat well, without the negative thoughts affecting our wellbeing. Stress is reduced, mental power is enhanced and habits of a lifetime can be changed. It’s not just for giving up smoking or taking a new approach to eating. Phobias such as speaking in public or even a fear of spiders can be eradicated with NLP sessions. A full history of the problem is not needed, as by identifying the problem, the negative effects can be erased. Each session is unique to the individual, after assessing their needs and the desired outcome. NLP is a way of breaking old patterns and leading a fuller life by understanding the relationship between the conscious and unconscious mind. It sounds complex and a session is difficult to describe as they are unique to each person, but the power to enhance and change your life can be achieved with no more blockages. Make 2009 the year to start a change. With NLP, you can find it is possible to move towards new goals and grow. Contact John Moore, a qualified NLP practitioner and hypnotherapist.

Under review Here’s our round up of recent local shows, plus there’s oodles of reviews online at www.thelatest.co.uk Dish It Out Almost invariably NYE parties take the shape of DJs, and a lot of shape-making on the dance floor, becoming more unco-ordinated as the night goes on. Dish It Out, er, dished it out differently with four live bands and plenty of DJ action spread throughout three rooms in Brighton’s best rehearsal studios.Spearheaded by those legendary party animals Los Albertos, the bill included the wonderfully silly The Don Bradmans and Guildford’s Wobbly Squadron, whose mix of live instrumentation, electronics and effects perfectly wrapped up the evening, which was high on fun and low on aggro. Scream Studios, 31 December ✌✌✌✌✌ Julie Andrews
The Night Before Christmas This darkly funny Anthony Neilson play was staged by new theatre, film and music collective Two Bins. When a burglar caught in a toy warehouse claims to be a real elf,
friends Gary and Simon and prostitute Cherry are forced to reassess how they feel about Christmas.Lines were delivered with panache, the direction was solid – this was a polished show which had us in hysterics. If this production is anything to go by, Two Bins is going to be a heavyweight in Brighton’s theatre scene. The Brunswick, 21 December ✌✌✌✌ Rachel Pegg
Peter and the Wolf/Carnival of the Animals The Brighton Dome proved to be the perfect venue for the debut performance of the Kiev Classical Ballet both atmospherically and acoustically, with performances of Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf coupled with Saint Saens’ Carnival of the Animals. Written specifically to introduce children to the sounds of musical instruments, Peter And The Wolf delighted an audience of youngsters and adults alike. Backed by a 38-piece orchestra the
HOT REVIEW OF THE WEEK Comic Boom A cracking way to come back from the Christmas dulling excess was the sharp and energetic line-up introduced by new Boom compere Seann Walsh. Walsh was firing on all cylinders, building up the acts as ‘lovely friends‘, setting us to embrace them and still delivering bang-on material of his own. The entire line-up of seven acts brought a variety of excellent ways to tickle the funnybone, from Kerry Herbert’s acidic slap of a giggle to Brian Gittens’ anarchic hysteria. Headliner Zoe Lyons demonstrated just why she received Best Joke Of Edinburgh Festival last year, as well as an if.comedy Best Newcomer nominee the year before. Not a comedy-blank fired an an encore demanded was testament to the success of the evening. More please! Komedia, 30 December ✌✌✌✌✌
Kiev Classical Ballet delivered breathtaking choreography and magical production. Carnival of the Animals was transformed by the ballet into a tale of a young girl’s toys coming to life in a spectacular and colourful parade, with elements of black light theatre culminating with a videoscreen showing wildlife footage with an ecological theme and the dance of the swan. Brighton Dome, 13 December ✌✌✌✌ Steve King
The Nutcracker What a way to celebrate midwinter, with a spectacular show from one of the best-loved ballet companies on the circuit. It would be wrong to single out any of St Petersburg Ballet’s dancers: they were all outstanding and each was given a chance to shine. The scenery and costumes were fittingly lavish, from the fantastically bright land of sweets to the twinkling snow kingdom. It is a tribute to the production that families including very young children sat mesmerised for more than two hours and gave both dancers and orchestra a fervent reception.

STAGE Their most recent production, The Night before Christmas, epitomises what Two Bins are all about. Written by Anthony Neilson, one of the most popular ‘in-yer-face’ playwrights. The play gives a bleak portrayal of Christmas, shown from the perspective of two friends and a prostitute who come across a junkie claiming to be an elf. The year ahead for this group looks promising with an adaptation of The Mayor of Casterbridge and Joe Penhall‘s play about tabloid culture, The Dumb Show being performed in the coming months. They will also be performing another Neilson play, The Censor, at the Brighton Festival Fringe. 2009 will also bring Two Bins’ biggest production to date, Mark Wilkinson’s psychological drama Red Sea Fish, which is set to tour in Brighton, London, New York and Berlin next autumn. McCabe believes Two Bins are a much-needed group in Brighton’s theatre scene, and argues that it is not the dramatic epicentre it is often labelled.
“These plays are true to life. There isn’t always a happy ending, in reality”
Back to reality Ralph Miller spoke to Two Bins’ Frank McCabe about in-yer-face plays and Brighton’s theatre scene
“There is this myth that Brighton is a really creative theatre place, but it’s not true. You’ve got the Theatre Royal which is a more traditional place and you have the Festival and the Fringe for a month or so, which are brilliant, but for the rest of the year, in terms of really good modern theatre, there’s a huge gap. Younger people don’t necessarily want to go and watch Shakespeare or pay twenty quid for tickets. That’s why we play at places that are a bit scruffy and charge a fiver.” With their darker and challenging productions, Two Bins look set to bring a new dimension to the Brighton theatre scene. This ambitious theatre group may just find that, unlike the plays they perform, their fortunes have a happy ending.
Two Bins are out to change the Brighton theatre scene. They are a 13person local theatre collective, bringing together a broad range of skills and talents in theatre, film and music. A diverse mix of actors, writers, directors and photographers comprise this six-month-old theatre group. Two Bins mainly focus on ‘in-yer-face’ theatre, which takes on heavy subject matter and presents stories that shock and challenge the audience’s moral standards. The genre reached its zenith in the early nineties with the multi-award winning play Mojo. Two Bins’ writer and founder member Frank McCabe said: “Nowadays, ‘in-yer-face‘ is considered a bit of a fad, a bit sensationalist, but some of the plays are great. “I think people learn about themselves most at their lowest points and these plays are true to life. There isn’t always a happy ending, in reality.” The ‘in yer face’ plays tend to take a gritty and sometimes unpleasant outlook on life, reflected in the origins of their name, inspired by a scene in Mojo, in which two bins are placed on stage, each containing half a dead body.

What’s on this week
Australia (12A) Dir: Baz Luhrmann The director of the ‘Red Curtain Trilogy’ (camp classics Moulin Rouge, Romeo and Juliet and Strictly Ballroom) gives his homeland the Gone With The Wind treatment. Nicole Kidman stars as a Brit in 1940s Oz who falls for Hugh Jackman’s enigmatic cattle rancher, known only as ‘The Drover’. With WWII as the dramatic backdrop and stunning landscapes, this is a sweeping epic with obvious Oscar ambition. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon
Bedtime Stories (PG) Dir: Adam Shankman Pitching at a family-orientated audience, Adam Sandler’s latest everyman stint sees him play hotel handyman Skeeter Bronson, a man who finds the magical tales he reads to his niece and nephew come to life. Support cast includes Russell Brand, Guy Pearce and Richard Griffiths. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon
Changeling (15) Director: Clint Eastwood Clint Eastwood continues his directorial career with yet more Oscar-bait. Angelina Jolie plays a single mother in 1920s Los Angeles. After her child goes missing and is replaced with one she‘s certain isn’t hers, she faces a corrupt LAPD and social alienation. Shades of film noir, melodrama and a sterling performance from Jolie suggest Eastwood shows no sign of slowing down as he approaches 80. Showing at Odeon and Worthing
Che: Part One (15) Dir: Steven Soderbergh Following the Ocean’s franchise, Soderbergh returns to more highbrow territory with this Spanish language biopic marking 50 years since Cuba’s revolution. Benicio Del Toro gained widespread acclaim for his role as guerrilla leader Che Guevara in the first of this two-parter, covering the years leading up to the Argentine‘s role as revolutionary leader. Showing at Cineworld
forced to act as positive role models for delinquent teenagers. Superbad’s McLovin’, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, co-stars as one of the unfortunate kids in this undemanding comedy. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon
Slumdog Millionaire (15) Dir: Danny Boyle Who would have expected a feelgood drama based in Mumbai as Trainspotting and 28 Days Later director Danny Boyle’s next film? Dev Patel stars as Jamal, an 18-year-old boy taking part in the Indian equivalent to Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? Critics are calling this Boyle’s masterpiece, with it tipped for Oscar glory. Showing at Odeon, Cineworld and Duke of York’s
Twilight (12A) Dir: Catherine Hardwicke Billed as a teenage equivalent to the Harry Potter films, this first adaptation of the mega-successful Stephenie Meyer books is more like Interview With The Vampire meets Dawson’s Creek, with the gore toned down for the 12A certificate. Robert Pattinson’s being hailed as the new posh Brit heart-throb du jour as the bloodsucker Kristen Stewart’s Bella falls head over heels for. Showing at Odeon
The Wrestler (15) Dir: Darren Aaronofsky It’s been a tough few years for the director of the acclaimed π and Requiem for a Dream. After the massive flop The Fountain and being deemed too dark to direct The Dark Knight, this looks to be the comeback he needs. Mickey Rourke plays an ageing wrestler struggling to make ends meet as he meets ageing stripper Marisa Tomei. Rourke went into full-on method mode to prepare for this role; surely a favourite for Best Actor Oscar, 2009 looks like his comeback year also. Showing at Duke of York’s

FILM
Strong man Daniel Craig talks about his role in Defiance playing Tuvia Bielski, who led Russian Jews to hide from the Nazis by living in a forest Was shooting in the Lithuanian forests during winter very gruelling? We were there for two and a half to three months, and the weather got progressively worse and worse. We did the occasional night shoot and while we didn’t sleep out there in the forests, it was hard. We ate a lot and drank a lot of vodka; it seemed the only way to get through it. It was certainly the nicest way to get through it. Was mastering the Russian language difficult? I don’t think that I ever mastered it. I learned it phonetically and had a Russian coach. Liev [Schreiber, who plays his brother, Zus] had a head start on me because he‘d done a film in the Ukraine a couple of years ago. I listened to him and played around with it. I also had someone there on set who’d listen in and come over and give me advice. It was a little laborious, because while I’ve got a good ear, my language skills aren’t great. Learning new things is not my forte. Did Edward Zwick approach you for the role? Ed and I had been talking for five or six years; we keep bumping into one another. We’ve always said that we’d like to work together and when the idea of this script came up, we wanted to make it. I read it and said yes straight away. Was your decision to accept based on the character or the story, or both? I think it’s a complete mixture. What I find fascinating about this character is that he’s thrust into this situation. He’s reluctant; he doesn’t want to be the leader of these people, and certainly doesn’t want to be the one forcing all the decisions. But he’s forced into this situation, so then it comes down to the decisions he makes. They are really fascinating; why he decides to survive and live, as opposed to fighting. Did you get impression that this was a very personal film for Edward Zwick? I did. For anyone who’s Jewish I think it’s personal. And even for me. My grandfathers fought in the Second World War and saw a lot of what went on. It’s impossible not to feel
some personal involvement and that’s why stories like this are still relevant. It’s very recent history and it doesn’t stop happening in the world. The First World War was the ‘war to end all wars’; and with the Second World War everyone said ‘That’ll never happen again’. And we’re doing a really bad job, because it keeps on happening again and again. Did you meet any relatives of the Bielskis? Yes, a whole load of them came and visited the set. Sons, cousins, nephews. It was great to sit with them and talk. They’re just a big New York family, as normal and as not normal as you’d want them to be. They’re very loving, tough, a physical family. Which makes sense; they went through a lot and are from that tough East European stock. We drank quite a lot together! Could you relate to the character; he’s a bit of a bad boy… I’m a very good boy; I don’t know where you get that from! No, I relate to certain aspects. I think it’s interesting that you can be a responsible child and a responsible young person, but the moment you become a responsible adult, that’s tough. I’m really trying not to become that, for as long as possible. But then things happen when you get a family and so forth. It’s good to be a child for as long as possible. Responsibility being thrust upon
you, though, it is damaging, in a good way, or sometimes in a bad way. It had a huge effect on his life. He saved thousands of people but as soon as he left for America he didn’t want to talk about it. It had a massive emotional effect. He probably fought with demons his whole life afterwards. If he lived in Russia after the war, he’d have been a Russian hero. He tried to get on with his life. How do you prepare for a role like this? I just read a lot. There’s a book called The Bielski Brothers, which is a good biography. And of course there’s Defiance, which the film is based upon. There’s plenty of stuff written about it, and just being there in the forest was probably the best thing. After a week being in the freezing cold, stamping your feet, you kind of got into it. The forest was amazing. It’s a real wilderness, and once you get in there you can imagine what it was like. If I was in the German army chasing them, I’d think, ‘Forget it!’ Having played a lot of heroes, do you dream of saving the world? No. I dream about a lot of things, but not that. I don’t know whether it’s just the way I look at things, but it’s one of the things I liked about this part. He doesn’t want to save the world. He just wants to survive and live, and I think we all feel like that. Even with the philosophy of ‘save one life and you save the world’, he still doesn’t really want to do it. He’s like, ‘Leave me alone. I want to get through this, with my family’. Then there’s that really fascinating moral switch which happens in his head – he can’t just save his family. If he’s there, he’ll have to save other people too. He can’t just save his immediate family. It’s a fascinating shift in his head, because really heroes don’t set out to be heroes. The vast majority of stories we hear about heroes are embellished afterwards, because they’re good for morale. They’re good for all of us. Usually, though, the truth is much more complicated and much more interesting. Defiance is on general release at cinemas now. Interview courtesy of Momentum Pictures. latest 7 23

A laughing matter
Adam Ant: Allan Ballard/rockarchive.com
Victoria Nangle discovers the importance of dressing in all colours of the rainbow to step out on stage Colour rocks! And so say all of us that have to stand in front of a black wall and get noticed. I never saw it before I started doing this stand-up lark, but the perfect way to frame a show is with a black backdrop. The performers don’t get lost in busy wallpaper or stage setting and the comedy stands or falls on its own. Which means that I need to go on regular colour hunts. As a less than slight female I used to live in my black tops and trousers, framed with a black hat and coat, and with feet kept toasty by black shoes. When I stepped on stage this became the easiest way to become the invisible woman. It’s one thing wanting your ‘love handles’ to disappear, quite another to find that you’re just pale face and that’s it, looking into a bright light and silently begging people to laugh. You need a bit more substance behind that kind of a plea. So it goes I started buying brightly coloured tops, trousers, scarves, jumpers, cardis and anything that might make me a bit more visible on the stage. Surely it’s a given that if you get up on stage, wear something to tell people you want them to see you and notice you. Unless you’re doing the ghost thing, which has very little to do with comedy unless you’re still hooked on 80s kids classic Rentaghost. But that’s beside the point. The point is, what I wear on stage matters.
“When I stepped on stage this became the easiest way to become the invisible woman” A number of comics have discovered that there’s a fine balance to be found, however, in stage attire. Cunning and witty Tshirts are all very well down the pub, but when you step on stage you’re immediately making a statement about what you find funny – with somebody else’s joke. Be prepared to receive heckles about this. Either the audience like it or they don’t, but they can’t ignore it and they can’t ignore the immediate clever banner across your front that’s shouting for attention. Maybe you don’t want something shouting for attention when you’re trying to remember your opening gag. I can’t say I do. A few friends of mine use their outfits as a part of their set. Selfreferential material is not new, but in the same way as man with an outrageous moustache has got to acknowledge that it’s there and might get a laugh out of it, so does anyone in remarkable clothing. It’s a sight gag waiting to happen, and without a punchline it can simply hang there and overshadow all of the rest of the set. So I’m set on bright and plain coloured clothing. Whether it’s a scarf that I knitted when I was trying to stop smoking or a polka-dotted headband my mother gave me for Christmas, it all stops me fading into the background. And brings my gags centre stage with no distractions.

BOOKS Brighton writer, comedian and singer Tony Hawks, best-selling author of Round Ireland with a Fridge, talks to Ralph Miller about liking a challenge You do a wide range of things, which one do you enjoy the most? I describe myself as a writer performer, that way round, it used to be comedian author. I've never really liked the expression ‘comedian‘, because people think that‘s a person who‘s hilarious all the time. I prefer to be thought of as a writer. I do a lot on Radio 4, so old-fashioned people call me a writer broadcaster. I have fun song-writing, but if I tried to live off that, I'd be very hungry. Hopefully one day something will happen. I did have one song that made some money, the ‘Stutter Rap‘. It's just such a tough old business, so many good people want to get in and it‘s a tiny market. You've been writing some stuff with Chesney Hawkes; are you searching for a follow-up hit? Yeah that‘s right, also I've been working with Nik Kershaw, who did a lot of stuff in the 80s. The best chance we‘ve got though, is if we make this film Round Ireland with a Fridge, which we're trying to do next year. We'll probably include a lot of our music on the soundtrack. In the book, you mention getting Bruce Willis to play yourself in the film. Has he agreed? That‘s true, but the latest is that I‘m going to play me. It was going to be Brendan Fraser from The Mummy, but to me it always felt wrong to have an American playing me. I think it‘s to our shame that we constantly pander to America for financial reasons. The French don‘t do it and part of me said, let‘s just try and write a good film and if it doesn't make twenty five million, so what. I‘ve written a screenplay, so it‘s not a reconstruction but it‘s written as a piece of drama, so it is an acting job and I will actually be playing the part of myself. After the several books written about challenges undertaken as bets, do you find that people challenge you to audacious bets a lot? It used to happen a bit more. People imagine it happens all the time. I‘ve had a few. A friend tried to bet me that I couldn‘t sleep with the entire Azerbaijani netball team one-by-one. I didn‘t take him up on that one, as it would involve going to Azerbaijan and introducing netball to the country. The bets tend to come at the end of an argument, so it‘s not that common. If proving somebody wrong would make an entertaining book, then I‘m up for it. I noticed on your website that you seem to get inundated with emails for Tony Hawk, the skateboarder. Do you find it frustrating? I get a lot of fan mail and questions meant for him. I find it amusing and every now and again sit down and write back. I did toy with the idea of calling a book The A to Z of Skateboarding and it having nothing to do with skating, it might sell a few more copies. Read the extended interview at www.thelatest.co.uk/7

Wednesday 21 January Regency Society Lecture ‘Prehistoric Roman Brighton and Hove’ with David Dudling, Centre for Continuing Education, University of Sussex. Regency antiquarians who were spending time in Brighton went to visit some of the ancient sites now within the boundaries of the city. Some walked what we now regard as very considerable distances to these sites which included several barrows near Wick now long gone and Hollingbury Hill Fort. Brighton has a long established archaeological society which
has played a major part in helping to record the prehistoric and Roman sites in the city. David will explore what we now know about these periods. The Old Market, Hove 7pm, £5/free for members.

Break on through Breakthrough, in association with Rough Trade features The Perils, Max Raptor, Lyrebirds and Fitsroy
Floors and Walls Brighton band Floors and Walls were the winners of the Global Battle of the Bands Challenge 2008 World Finals. The event featured national final winning bands from 26 countries playing two-song, eight-minute sets. The final took place at the Scala, King’s Cross, London, and was judged by Sex Pistol Glen Matlock, producer Jim Lowe (Stereophonics, The Charlatans), and former A1 and now pop svengali Ben Adams. Floors and Walls are the first ever UK winner of the five-year-old competition.They received $100,000 for their efforts. Well done lads!
Breakthrough with Rough Trade is a weekly breaking-bands showcase, taking place at the Latest MusicBar (formerly the Joogleberry Playhouse) every Monday. Co-promoted by KONG Promotions and Red Hot Promotion, in association with Rough Trade Shops, expect to the chance to witness some of the most exciting new talent from Brighton and the UK. In particular there’s a mouthwatering line-up on Monday 19 January headlined by the very exciting prospect The Perils. Having recently played support to the likes of Mick Jones, The Buzzcocks and Cage the Elephant, their debut album Good People Do Bad Things is set for release in March 2009 on Militant Records. The release will be supported by a national Club NME tour. The band featured on the prestigious magazine’s website three times in 2008 and they
made history in June when they became the first unsigned act to play an official Rock Against Racism event. Also on the bill are the heavily hyped Lyrebirds, purveyors of a unique, exciting and alternative sound. The band have quickly gained the support of Brighton’s industry big wigs. Sharing the bill is Birmingham-based indie troupe Max Raptor, whose forward thinking creativity has won them legions of fans in several major cities. The band sell out in venues in Birmingham, Southampton and Winchester and are currently recording at Brighton Electric. Finally, there’s Fitsroy, who offer energetic and articulate punk rock. Often likened to The Jam, the band have won themselves a sizable and loyal following in Brighton and London. Latest MusicBar, Monday 19 January
Doll and The Kicks Up and coming Brighton act Doll and The Kicks have been regularly touted as the ones to watch and that’s exactly what Morrissey did. He liked what he saw so much that he personally asked them to be his support act for his extensive tour of the UK and Europe this spring and summer. They’ve been frantically recording their album prior to going on the road, and the first fruits of it is released as a single on Monday 26 January, ‘Roll Up The Red Carpet’. Well done people!

Jaime ‘til dawn
MUSICHIGHLIGHTS
Jaime Pettit jumps into the Playroom at Digital and finds herself in sweet dreams with the grown-ups I threw open the door to the fun factory and expected to be rushed by Barney the Bear any minute as my school girl memories of indoor playgrounds bounded back! The soundtrack of electro and funky house vibes was uplifting from my time in grimy old skool and jungle basements. I headed to the one place I‘d dreamed of. Typical! I wait 21 years for the inflatable birthday of my cotton-sock dreams but never did it come. I finally get close to the realisation of it and I have to spend all night queuing. Or do I? The observation deck of the smoking arena was rammo, with actual smokers lip stabbing out their fags and chatting! No one wanted to run the stomach gauntlet of bouncing? Within five minutes we had signed off our regulations and jumped on. Twas like flubber in a washing machine as I bounded from wall to wall only pausing in my matrix flips to stumble my friend from his! They mocked me for my grey, Bridget-esque concealing hot pants, but I had the last shred of dignity! Upstairs the smart arc was like an Oasis, could it be true? A bar free of queues? I stopped only to dabble in giant chequers but had neither the patience or enjoyment in losing and in manner of kid in pram decorated the floor in the sinful pieces. I next saw my friend outside the ball pond, now cleverly adorned in face paint as the tongue master Gene Simmons a very clever door enforcement evader! The ball pit was filled with slow falling paintball comets as we rushed the balls for five minutes non-stop like a kid in a Haribo swamp. Just as Nippa dropped in a funky house remix of Sweet Dreams. As the house lights came up we watched our childhood deflate away again, and we rediscovered the adult within us. One not restrained by time and curfews, so it was home to continue til dawn, stick that maturity!
Animal Collective
Animal Collective Experimental act from USA signed once signed to the Brighton FatCat label (but now with super trendy Domino). their dense, psychedelic folk inspired sounds have headache inducing capabilities, but there is plenty to get your teeth into if you listen closely enough. Very colourful, original music that has gained a remarkable cult following. Thursday 15 January, Concorde 2

Little Joy Little Joy is Binki Shapiro, Rodrigo Amarante and Fabrizio Moretti, three friends who dropped their routine at their respective home towns to make a record in Los Angeles, California. Moretti is drummer with The Strokes, while Amarante plays with Devendra Banhart. They make Velvet Undergroundesque type 60s minimalism, fused with global grooves a la rock steady, ska and bossa nova. It’s laid back, hippy vibes have endeared them to Banhart fans in particular. Thursday 15 January, Audio Kevin Montgomery Expect Montgomery’s style of acoustic country to blow you away! A bona fide Nashvillian with a long family history of music making, Montgomery’s last gig here ent down a storm. The Guardian quoted him as being ‘habitually awesome’ he’ll be joined on stage by Jill Jackson, a Scottish singer-songwriter from the band
Speedway and who just completed the 50 States in 50 Days tour with Kevin. Thursday 15 January, Latest Music Bar Syd Arthur Syd Arthur are at the forefront of the young musical explorers and their unique sound and inimitable stage craft are making waves far beyond their native Canterbury. Not surprisingly, their sound echoes the Canterbury vibes of yesteryear (Caravan), Support comes from phenomenal fingerstyle guitarist Lee Westwood. Friday 16 January, Latest Music Bar Ugly Duckling + Imperial Leisure Since U.D. formed in 1993, Andy, Dizzy and Young Einstein have had the nerve to believe they should make it in the music business. Fiercely independent and musically idealistic, they have built a reputation for delivering soulful, humourous hip hop and a white-hot live show with echoes of De La Soul A Tribe Called Quest and the heyday of leftfield hip hop, the Daisy Age era. Support comes from rap-ska merchants Imperial Leisure. Sunday 18 January, Concorde 2 Tragic Roundabout Perennial Brighton favourites, mixing up their wobbly, off-kilter amalgam of folk, jazz, klezmer, ska, music hall and punk. Joyous, uplifting and quite possibly the most liberating music you’ll hear this year. Sunday 18 January, Latest Music Bar

MUSIC REVIEWS A weekly review of local and national releases Now based in sunny Brighton (weird how we get Wedding Present more sunshiney days in winter than summer, eh?) Mr. David Gedge has been re-invigorating himself all things Wedding Present. Following the release of the excellent El Rey last year, they’re back with a collection of EPs and various mixes put together as How the West Was Won. Part of the original C86 generation (when music was still released on cassette), the Wedding Present were a driving, close to ramshackle indie band that liked to pile on the angst within their sometimes incendiary rhythms. Not much has changed, which is fine because Gedge continues to come up with hummable, likeable tunes that retain melody, purpose and a reason for existing. Nowadays it sounds faintly radical, which is some achievement. But then Gedge was always on the outside looking in. There was quite a bit of hype surrounding Dutch three piece zZz back in ‘07 when they invaded Brighton during The Great Escape. I witnessed them in Revenge (of all places), this hard and brutish looking industrial grunge rock outfit fronted by a singing drummer who looked like a Hells Angel reject… he looked that mad and unkempt. But beyond the superficial scariness there lies a good alt-rock band that morps Idiot era Iggy Pop with synthy Depeche Mode and comes up with the occasional trump, as heard on new long player, the aptly entitled Running With The Beast. Not so sleepy as a sleeping giant that might, just might, beat a path towards the door marked Rock Stardom… After two startlingly good albums, 2004’s eponymous debut and 2006’s Citrus, New York shoegaze rockers Asobi Seksu return with their third long player, Hush. Less immediate than the band’s previous ultraaccessible stab at Albini-esque noise honed so well, Hush is a quieter record (hence the title), more akin to a softer Cocteau Twins sound compared to Citrus’ bombastic ‘My Bloody Valentine’ pop-squall. With less noise to contend with, singer Yuki Chikudate’s vocals are pushed to the fore; a bold move which pays off with a more civilised sound, at times a little meandering, but in the end unmistakably Asobi Seksu.
Moving into the dance arena, we have Canadian DJ Deadmau5’s latest release, a collection of early unreleased mixes from his pre-fame days at Play Records. Ingeniously titled Deadmau5 at Play, this is solid fare, though it’s clearly a work in progress. Veering from house to electro to ambient glitchiness with ease, Deadmau5 at Play has a nicely polished, diverse sound, though too often the intended wonky ambience leaves it merely in the background. Still, if you’re after rarities from a clubbing hero, you could do a lot worse than this package. Finally, it’s time for a quick mention to Irish folk singer Cara Dillon, and her new long-player, Hill of Thieves. Though this is all pleasantly produced with the standard gentle fiddle and soothing lilt in Dillon’s accomplished vocals, the fact remains that this is all, well, a little bland. Mixing a few more modern influences in, with Tori Amos an obvious point of reference, Hill of Thieves is a moderately diverting, if ultimately forgettable record.

See more at thelatest.co.uk them in a case involving LGB discrimination in the past year. Ninety-nine are members of Stonewall’s Diversity Champions scheme. East Sussex County Council was singled out for offering equality training via podcasts, one of which deals specifically with LGB issues. American Express was praised for setting up a quarterly LGBT Brighton Stonewall Champions network to share best practice and work with other Stonewall Diversity Champions on company initiatives such as mentoring, LGBT monitoring and recruitment advertising. The network includes the NHS and Brighton and Hove City Council. Ben Summerskill, Stonewall chief executive, said: “We received more entries than ever before from employers who have taken heed of recent Stonewall research that found that gay people are far more likely to buy goods or services from companies they know are gay friendly. The index is a powerful tool used by Britain’s 1.7million gay employees and 150,000 gay university students to decide where to take their talent and skills.“
Some of Brighton and Hove’s biggest employers have been named among the most gay-friendly in the UK. Lloyds TSB topped the Stonewall Top 100 Employers 2009 report, followed by Brighton and Hove Council in third place. East Sussex County Council was number 26, American Express was 63rd and Sussex Police came in at 92. Stonewall's assessments were based on a detailed questionnaire for each employer, staff surveys and a visit from inspectors. Eric Daniels, group chief executive of Lloyds TSB, said: “Sexual orientation has been a key diversity priority for Lloyds TSB for a number of years and this accolade is testament to our progress and commitment.” Brighton and Hove City Council moved up from ninth last year. It scored well for having an LGB consultative group and a number of gay senior managers. Of the council's 7,000 staff, 1,000, or approximately 15 per cent, describe themselves as LGB or transgendered. It is estimated 13 to 17 per cent of the city’s 250,000 population is gay. Dee Simson, councillor for community affairs, said: “As the council for Britain’s gay capital, it's apt that we’re named the UK’s most gay-friendly local authority. Councils should represent their various communities and this award from Stonewall shows we take that responsibility seriously.” The top 100 employers were chosen from 317 entries. They were given higher marks for having policies barring discrimination, for monitoring sexual orientation in job applications and staff attitude surveys and offering LGB-sensitive counselling and diversity training. Credit went to those that advertised in LGB media and had openly gay people at high levels. None of the top 100 had a tribunal rule against
Sandi at the seaside? Lesbian icon Sandi Toksvig may make a rare appearance in Brighton. The well-known broadcaster, comedian and star of BBC Radio 4’s The News Quiz has been invited to take part in a new variety show at Komedia.

Dead Poets Society ★★★★★
Ocean’s Twelve
(1989, BBC1, 11.15pm. Dir Peter Weir) The film that marked the transition for Robin Williams to full-on weepies with an Oscar-winning performance, this tells the story of a remarkable English teacher shaking up an orthodox prep school with a mixture of inspired and anarchic results. Also starring Ethan Hawke and Robert Sean Leonard.
★★★★✩ (2004, ITV1, 4.55pm. Dir Steven Soderbergh) Slick crime caper sequel. Casino boss Terry Benedict knows Danny Ocean stole 190 million dollars from him, and he wants it back. Ocean and his team of thieves have just two weeks to raise the cash, but who is the mystery thief competing for the loot?
WEDNESDAY 14
The Spy who Came in from the Cold ★★★✩✩
(2004, BBC1, 11.25pm. Dir Peter Richardson) Ridiculous yet rather well made comedy rewriting of history starring Christian Slater as the gung-ho GI Winston Churchill called in to sort out this troublesome war in Europe. Picking up Queen Liz on the way for a smooch (played by American Neve Campbell) this sends up the absurdity of American retellings and recastings. Great British cameos though.
Never in a million years did I think I would ever be writing a column about a cartoon. I have never liked The Simpsons, finding it boring and repetitive so I presumed I would never like any other cartoon. Then I found Family Guy. This cartoon has changed my opinion of the whole subject. Perhaps you wouldn’t expect me to love something like Family Guy but I do, to the point where I own most of the episodes and find it funny regardless of how many times I have watched it. Some of the stories are pretty far fetched (well all of them seeing as the baby and the dog talk) but that doesn’t damage it or make it any less funny. I cant pinpoint any one particular reason why I prefer this to any other cartoon on telly. I suppose the fact that it is aimed at adults makes a big difference. I love it because it absolutely makes me laugh, and although the characters are not real people you can relate to some of the conversations between them albeit that the conversations on the screen are an extreme of what any of us might have. The show makes digs at current affairs, George Bush and every day things that we do – you could say, like The Simpsons, but it is totally different: it’s more intelligent and just plain funnier. I have quite frequent arguments with people over why Family Guy is better than The Simpsons (not really all that frequently, I do think about other stuff too). Family Guy doesn’t have annoyingly voiced characters (like Bart and Marge Simpson) and it doesn’t have irritating catchphrases that appear on all sorts of mugs and Tshirts. Although a new “saying” could come out of every episode, but at least it isn’t repetitive. The fact that Family Guy was cancelled and then became the first series to be resurrected by a network based purely on DVD sales says something. As opposed to The Simpsons, Family Guy is made in such a way that on many occasions the characters make it clear that they realise they are on a TV show by occasionally addressing the audience; making a point of the ‘canned laughter‘ seen in other shows and even having the cast of the show introduce episodes – including episodes made from ideas viewers have sent in. I can’t fully explain why I have such a love for this series, it just is something that is. Sometimes certain things in life will always manage to put a smile on your face, and this is one of them for me. If you have avoided this show, watch it as you may surprise yourself and find it funny! 32 latest 7
Top tips for your week of flicks
TUESDAY 13
Churchill – The Hollywood Years ★★★✩✩
It’s a family affair
13 – 19 Jan
THURSDAY 15 Never Been Kissed ★★★✩✩ (1999, Film4, 6.50pm. Dir Raja Gosnell) Drew Barrymore heads back to high school in this romcom, under the premise that she’s an investigative journalist. Hoping to also rewrite her wilderness years as geek into the chic she feels she’s become, she soon needs the help of her mega-cool brother David Arquette. Frivolous fun and personal growth.
FRIDAY 16 Requiem For A Dream ★★★★★ (2000, Sky Movies Indie, 10pm. Dir Darren Aronofsky) An incredible story of spiralling drug addiction and a darkness in life, featuring star turns from Jared Leto, Ellen Burstyn as his mother, Jennifer Connolly as his girlfriend and Marlon Wayans as his best mate. Compelling and repulsive in equal turns, you’ll need a Disney fix straight after.
Scary Movie 4 ★✩✩✩✩ (2006, BBC1, 11.55pm. Dir David Zucker) Spoof sequel starring Anna Faris as the luckless stalkee of movie send-up mishaps. This batch of victims include War Of The Worlds, The Village and The Shining. Cameos include Leslie Nielsen, Carmen Electra and Michael Madsen. Someone employ them.
(1965, Sky Movies classics, 11.10pm. Dir Martin Ritt) A classic spy movie which does not involve fast cars, bikini clad women, super heroes etc and shows how spies are used and discarded. The main character is your average Joe who drinks too much and knows that there is no escape from the profession he hates.
SUNDAY 18 Sweet November ★★★✩✩ (2001, ITV, 11.55pm. Dir Pat O'Connor) Starring Keanu Reeves, Charlize Theron. Romantic melodrama about a young woman who begins a new relationship with a different man each month in order to help them develop into more compassionate individuals. However, there are unexpected repercussions for both parties.
MONDAY 19 Austin Powers In Goldmember ★★★✩✩ (2001, Channel 4, 10.50pm. Dir Joe Roth) Starring Mike Myers. Spy spoof sequel. Austin Powers travels back in time to 1975 in order to halt the nefarious plans of Dr Evil, who has teamed up with the infamous and aptly named villain Goldmember. Packed with cameos from the likes of Britney Spears and John Travolta.

tuesday 13 Trinny And Susannah Meet Their Match ITV1, 8pm Yeah, right. A bit of a misleading title but intriguing nonetheless. Skinny and Curvaceous kick off a new series with the premise of addressing a group of people all used to looking similar, defined by the group identity. You may be thinking ‘goths’, S and C think country ladies. More jam, vicar?
Nicholas Crane’s Britannia: The Great Elizabethan Journey BBC2, 9pm Reacting from the Elizabethan ‘lost’ masterpiece Britannia, Nick travels to parts of the UK that were unknown to the Tudors. Now in Scotland, he discovers gold in the hills, witches in Athol and fiery Scots with no truck for England. No change there then.
Grand Designs More4, 7pm Aspirational telly at its finest. Forget the financial woes of the high street and debauch yourself to gluttony watching people struggle to achieve their dream home whilst Kevin McCloud looks on tutting and cooing. Tonight a young couple from Hereford plan to build a home in an ancient village. Not on a burial ground.

wednesday 14 The City Uncovered With Evan Davis BBC2, 9pm So many people are talking about the current economic climate but no one is really explaining what it is. Or how it got there. Or how it was supposed to be done in the first place. Good thing the BBC’s former economics editor Evan Davis is on hand with clever but understandable answers. Thanks.
Could You Eat An Elephant? Channel 4, 10pm Ever played dare when you’re hungry and travelling? Fergus Henderson and Jeremy Lee turn it into an entire programme, journeying around the globe sampling animals that are considered taboo for consumption in the UK. From maggots to monkeys – they don’t have to be cute to be eaten.
Celebrity Big Brother’s Little Brother E4, 6pm Numbers are falling – we’re talking celebrity housemates. How did they take the rejection? Will the others realise that they too could get the boot? Will the ego survive? And other questions will probably be asked too by George Lamb as he presents the funky bit of CBB ‘09.
