I took Frankie out to another comedy show tonight. Something a bit different this time – Richard Herring and Andrew Collins doing a live recording of the Collings and Herrin Podcast in Brighton. To be honest, I was a bit disappointed.

Godless Brighton
October 17th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Life
A new priest in Brighton has described the place as “Britain’s most Godless city” and promised to sort that out.
Labour conference – day five
October 2nd, 2009 · 3 Comments · Politics
The last day of conference is a funny one. It is only a half-day for a start. I imagine the original reason for that is so that delegates and others can stand a chance of getting home afterwards if they live at the other end of the country.
That does still apply, of course, for delegates [...]

Labour conference – day four
September 30th, 2009 · No Comments · Politics
Following Tuesday’s over-long day, when I was in Brighton from 0800 to 2300 I took it a bit easier today and caught a later train. Actually a bit later than intended: Jayne was a bit unwell and waiting for the doctor to call back so no lift to the station – I had to walk [...]

Labour conference – day three
September 30th, 2009 · No Comments · Politics
Day three started far earlier than I would have liked. In fact I was in the Hilton Metropole at a fringe event at a time when many delegates and visitors staying in Brighton itself had probably not got up. I was there for the British Humanist Society’s second annual ‘no prayer’ breakfst,
Labour conference – day two
September 29th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Politics
A slightly late start for me. I missed the absolute start of the day’s sessions so I missed the Scotland report and the first Welfare & Economy debate and the Economy Q&A.
I was in time for some rousing speeches from Yvette Cooper and Alistair Darling before lunch and also caught up with my school friend [...]

Labour conference – day one
September 28th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Politics
Well I finally made it to a party conference. It is too early to know yet whether the conference is/will be a success for the party or for me. I am still getting used to the whole thing.
As it is only down the road I am commuting, making use of the 20% discount I get [...]

Brighton here we come!
September 17th, 2009 · No Comments · Politics
My pass for the party conference in Brighton arrived today, along with a very daunting little book. The book has page after page of listings of official and fringe events. Having never been to a conference before I just find it a bit overwhelming: how do you choose what to go to?

Sadowitz in Brighton
August 24th, 2009 · No Comments · Life
Jerry Sadowitz is famously offensive, vulgar, obscene and provocative but he would have had to go into overdrive to give me a bigger shock than the price of a drink at the Komedia! The place is probably not more expensive than other clubs, its just that I don’t go out very often and even then [...]
Meaningless statistics
December 23rd, 2007 · 2 Comments · Life, Work
There was an eye-catching headline on the Argus website about how ‘Salaries in affluent Brighton are £3000 below average‘. It also says that salaries in Crawley have dropped £6,000 in the year. And its all rubbish.
