‘Battered’ doesn’t narrow it down that much (!) , but I think you might mean The Great Eastern? Another really nice spot.. What I wouldn’t give for a pub crawl round town at the moment.

Sadly The Flowerpot is now merely a perfectly decent pub where I occasionally take my mum for lunch if I’m visiting. But no jukebox, and not much in the way of vibes. I tended to head to the Three Fishes or […]

May I please bagsy

or

I’m easy. Your shout.

OR…and it’s just an opinion…the most drop dead gorgeous of the 335 family.

Another vote for Edwin. Arket also good and rather cheaper.

I’m currently on holiday on the amalfi coast and it’s scooter heaven. Everyone from cool youths to whole families to old men with their dogs between their legs is scooting around. Most of the scooters are old […]

Dave and the Phase3 massive would presumably beg to differ, Lemonhope. https://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/news/16963362.phase-3-scooter-club-appear-in-soft-cell-video-filmed-at-twisted-wheel-manchester/

Because, sir, they look unbelievably cool. Mechanically and practically inferior to a half decent motorbike in every way. But a classic Italian scooter is a glorious thing and makes anybody riding it instantly and […]

Not to mention Some Candy Talking (jamc) and I want Candy by The Strangeloves …. that’s early / mid 60s so possibly the source of the Candy canon?

Thanks for reminding me about that gig. A very very odd evening altogether. Eccentric support act too. Mr Haines turned out to be something of a trouper – not an impression I’d built if him from his written outpour.

I think I might like F&Ws ‘Happy Busman’ more than Radiohead’s entire output.

Local rivalry aside, I think we’re a bit envious of the atmosphere at Whitehawk. For a small crowd they make a lot of noise.

They do still produce excellent posters, and pretty smart, funny marketing across the board.

If I were more tech savvy I’d post an example here, but you’ll no doubt be able to view via […]

Lewes FC. An eccentric and progressive, community owned club with a unique commitment to equality. They are the only club in the world to pay men and women’s teams the same wage and where both teams play at the […]

I’m a big fan of The Snowdrop Inn, at the foot of the cliff. They have a changing selection of beers – usually very decent. They, oddly, also serve a 2/3 pint ( as well as half or pint ) should you be in the mood. […]

Get yourself down to the Dripping Pan to watch Lewes FC. Men’s team play Saturdays and the women’s team play on Sundays. It’s a v progressive, community owned club – still the only one that pays men and women […]

Is it rude to plump for Don’t Give Up, with Gabriel, as your favourite performance, as its not a Kate Bush track per se?

The Heart and Hand in Brighton. Tiny pub, decent beer, lovely jukebox with a good mix of tunes. Not tunes, sorry, records. Bit of classic rock, some punk and garage, touch of indie, touch of soul, a chunk of […]

The pity about all that is that Loyle Carner is great, and this’ll understandably put people off checking him out.
