I was invited to a mates Birthday party at Cote in Brighton over the weekend. This place for me sums up everything that is wrong with some generic chain restaurants. The service was terrible and the food extremely underwhelming, the french onion soup was tepid and flavourless, the corn fed...

We went to Sicily in April, we loved Palermo and stayed there for 3 nights at a lovely boutique hotel in the city centre: https://www.palazzonatoli.com/ I would recommend doing a food tour, the one that we went on was: street-food-tours-in-palermo These are led by a Palermo local and give you...

It's interesting comparing the perception amongst fans around GP leaving vs those that actually run the club. I remember seeing this interview with Paul Barber where he spoke in depth about the process of Graham leaving. You can see that Tony Bloom and him were both pragmatic about the situation...

Didn't we also come back from 0-2 down to beat Man City 3-2 at Home during that period? I managed to get tickets for that game and was one of my favourite Albion games, even if there was only 6/7k fans in the stadium!

Potter is a good manager, I never understood all the hatred towards him and would be more than happy for him to come back.

You cant compare Joshua taking a last minute fight against a top 10 heavyweight, who had previously fought for a world title (Ruiz), with Fury's performance against a boxing novice in his first fight. The Ngannou performance was unbelievably bad and let's face it he was smashed to bits by Usyk...

Have you forgotten that Parker beat Wilder last time out?! Wilder is way out of contention for the number 3/4 spot. He's a terrible boxer who has now been shown up, and we now know that Fury's victories over him weren't as impressive as everyone thought.

The really big fights haven't been happening though have they?! Theres a reason that the last unified heavyweight championship fight was Lennox Lewis vs Evander Holyfield in 1999!

It will be interesting to see but personally I think Fury's boxing abilities have been over hyped, he's had one very good result against Klitschko, which we subsequently discovered was 9 months before him and his brother tested positive for Steroids! As he was using steroids in the Christian...

Last week we went back to Cin Cin in Hove for a midweek lunch. I posted a while back about how expensive it was when we last went on a weekend evening however sticking to the lunch menu, avoiding extra sides and going easy on the drinks the meal came to £90 for two of us which was very...

It's ironic that we are talking about where the money is going to come from from to cover basic government services at a time where there is more money sloshing around in the economy than there has ever been! Something like £700 billion was handed out by the government during COVID, the question...

Thanks to Machiavelli for the Wild Flor recommendation, we went last week and had the lunch menu which really was excellent. I think it came to around £110 with 3 courses and drinks, which was great value considering the quality of the food and service.

For me the most naturally talented footballer of all time. People point to the drugs and bad behaviour however I think his off field antics make it even more of a miracle that he reached the levels that he did! Without the training, support, playing surfaces and protection from refs afforded to...

I quite like a track that was considered for OK computer but never made the cut 'Man Of War'.
