The BBC programme Question Time is coming to Crawley this month. I put my application in early this week but I don’t expect to get a place in the audience. Apparently they usually get about 1000 applications for approximately 150 places, and it would probably not be fair if I did get a place while […]

(We Don’t Need This) Fascist Groove Thang
December 13th, 2008 · 5 Comments · Politics
I went down to the B&Q car park this evening, which was supposed to be the re-direction point for BNP members on their way to their regional secret Christmas party. The idea was to show that there is considerable opposition to them holding their events in the area.  As the BNP party did not go […]
White Christmas
December 10th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Politics
One organisation guaranteed to be hoping for a white Christmas are the BNP, who are apparently holding a Christmas party for their members in Sussex/Surrey in Crawley on Saturday.  It’s a secret so not only do normal people not know where it is being held, except that it is within a mile of J10 of […]
Young Turks

Sunday evening I went down to the Bar Med in Crawley, where the young people of the town were organising, playing at and going to see a charity concert. Although I am far from young myself, they did need some volunteer responsible adults for the event and I managed to pass as a responsible adult […]
The Kids Are Alright

Apparently half the population thinks that children in the UK behave like animals. To give a bit of balance, here are three groups of youngsters who show that the ‘feral’ stereotype is not applicable:

Tonight Chrystal took me to see Paul Weller start his tour at K2 leisure centre in Crawley. Her treat. She did very well a few months ago and won a pair of tickets from Radio Mercury. I don’t think she enjoyed it too much, but it was certainly an experience for her and I am […]
Car Trouble

What great timing! Buy a new camera on Friday and then on Sunday 500 photogenic veteran cars pass within a few hundred metres of home. Some years I forget that the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run is happening: this year I made sure to catch it.
Walk This Way

The Crawley Wellbeing Programme are trying to promote something called Healthwalks at the moment. It is not something I had heard of before tonight, but it sounds interesting. The whole Healthwalks thing is organised by Walking the way to Health (WHI) which is a joint initiative between Natural England and the British Heart Foundation.

Can’t Stand Losing You

A decline in membership is something that affects all political parties. There are surges of interest, but the overall long-term trend is against belonging to any party. Even so, Dave’s Decline, the recent study by John Mann MP and Mike Joslin (available at Labourlist.org) should be worrying for the Tories, especially in Horsham and Crawley.

Outside The Wall
August 7th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Life
There are quite a few walls built like this in the neighbourhood where I live but not, fortunately, in my street. Either it is a serious design flaw or they were just built wrong, but either way they fall down really easily. They all have alternating sections of brick wall and wooden fencing and I […]
