My most diligent readers will note I’ve used that title for Blackpool before. And will probably use it in Grantham and Kilmarnock as well now. Mrs RM was still preparing her Monday presentation when I returned with a can of Vocation Pride & Joy and a fudge brownie from some indie shop called Tezcoxprs or… Continue reading NEVER CHANGE, BRIGHTON

“RHIANNA’S GOT A WHOLE PLAN TO RID ME OF MY KNEECAPS”
Makes a better title than “Finishing East Sussex at Brighton Bier Haus“, anyway. A lively end to the night in Brighton, the seafront full of revellers who had apparently run a few miles or got their tatts done, possibly not at the same time. I’d actually convinced myself I’d been to the Brighton Bierhaus, before,… Continue reading “RHIANNA’S GOT A WHOLE PLAN TO RID ME OF MY KNEECAPS”
ALL THAT JAZZ
Short posts for a while, getting seriously behind and Aberdeen will make it worse. On to my penultimate East Sussex pub, and thankfully back to a traditional name after all those silly Red Lions and Five Bells. I can assure Mark Crilley this is the only Lion and Lobster in the UK, so I now… Continue reading ALL THAT JAZZ
HOVE’S BLIND BUSKER – A STERLING EFFORT
Three pubs to visit in Brighton & Hove (Albion) to finish East Sussex, so I’d picked the reliable if dingy Travelodge in Preston Park. The walk through Brighton suburbia toward Hove is alternative tourism at its best. On the way I tried to make sure I didn’t hear the City v Chelsea score, as I… Continue reading HOVE’S BLIND BUSKER – A STERLING EFFORT
BOOZIN’ IN BRIGHTON, HOPPIN’ THRU’ HOVE
A reminder of the targets for my sizzling Sussex saunter. The first three of those have to wait till I get my “easts” and “wests” sorted. As Pub Curmudgeon will know, that may take some time. Having waved John off at the train back to Chichester, I had a plan to conquer the lands to the east… Continue reading BOOZIN’ IN BRIGHTON, HOPPIN’ THRU’ HOVE
HARVEY’S AT ITS BEST
While in Brighton I was lured into a pub I’d been in before, which is quite a testament to the attraction of a boozer at dusk. The Mitre at the top of North Laine isn’t by any means the only traditional-looking pub in the City, which seems to value pub heritage better than some. The… Continue reading HARVEY’S AT ITS BEST
BRIGHTON POST-ROCK
Just back from a gig night in Brighton, one of the great places in the world to watch live music. Like Manchester and, to be fair, London, Brighton has a good dozen club venues to watch new bands for a tenner or less, even if nothing quite matches the incomparable Brudenell in Leeds. When tour… Continue reading BRIGHTON POST-ROCK
