Google have finally published all the Street View pictures of Crawley and Horsham on Google Maps. The rest of Sussex too I suppose, but I have been looking through the local area first.

Look who’s coming to dinner
February 6th, 2010 · 5 Comments · Politics
After the MP Expenses furore, the home-flipping and the multitude of jobs on the side and other outside interests, the new area to come under scrutiny is the hiring of Westminster facilities and whether they are sometimes hired for fundraising activities. I’m not sure this one has got legs, I can’t really see it grabbing [...]
Pub crawling

I would not normally go to three pubs in a month, but today I managed three pubs in the same day! First was the one over the road from work for a leaving do – there were a lot of them today as a result of our restructuring. Then in the evening it was across [...]

Democracy never comes cheap

Crawley and Horsham towns are only a few miles apart, the two parliamentary constituencies rub right against each other, but as far as representation goes they might as well be on different planets. Look no further than today’s activity in parliament to see the difference.
Laura Moffatt (Labour. Crawley) asked two questions in a debate, both [...]
Covered in Horsham

Jayne and I hit the town in Horsham tonight: an Italian meal, followed by a walk down to the Queens Head to see Covered playing. We did that because Damian (AKA Pootergeek) sings with the band. He keeps inviting me to come along to shows, but previously they have all been down on the coast.

The Silver Triffid of Horsham

On Saturday morning I took advantage of that short window of opportunity between the sun coming up and the rain coming down to take a few photos in and around the park. I particularly wanted to see the new sculpture outside the Pavilions: Light Tree by Steve Geliot.
It looks OK to me, although it is [...]
If at first you don’t succeed, get up early
October 31st, 2009 · No Comments · Politics
Following my failed previous efforts to support the striking Royal Mail workers I took the rather drastic and extreme step of getting up before 6am on a Saturday.
This ludicrous tactic worked and I met with the workers who were manning the picket line. They did mention how several other members of Horsham Labour Party visited [...]

Like a pear cider made from 100% pear

Had a good evening out in Horsham today, seeing Stewart Lee in his show “If you prefer a milder comedian please ask for one”. I needed cheering up after a frankly disappointing Chinese meal.
Very surprised to find that there was a support act. Even more surprised to find that it was a German stand-up. Relieved [...]
