BRIGHTON BANDSTAND

The magnificent structure known as the ‘birdcage’ Bandstand stands is a Grade II listed building of architectural and historical importance. It stands prominent on Brighton’s seafront and commands excellent views of the coast. It was designed by Phillip Lockwood and completed in 1884.

A dream machine?

I sometimes think that a machine that captures our dreams would be useful. A number of times, I believe I have had some inspiration in a dream only to wake up and forget all about it. Possibly what I thought was something creative was actually a load of old rubbish.
However this morning I remembered a small part of a dream.
In the dream, I shared an office with a solicitor who was talking to a lady client seeking a divorce.
The solicitor said to her:
       "we can sue your ex-husband-to-be for discrimination because he has said that you can have the silverware. In other words, he is still expecting you to clean them!"

I thought it funny but then I am not the most politically correct man in the world!

Brighton complete signing of ex-Valencia winger Vicente

Brighton & Hove Albion have signed former Spain and Valencia winger Vicente Rodriguez on a one-year deal.

The 30-year-old, who has won 38 caps, was a free agent after being released by his hometown club this summer.

Albion boss Gus Poyet told the club website: "Vicente is the special player we wanted. He has great qualities and can play in a range of positions.

"He has always attracted great interest from top clubs across Europe so this is a major coup to bring him to the Amex."

The Uruguayan added: "He also brings great experience, having played at the top level for the last 10 years with Valencia, including the Champions League, Uefa Cup and international football with Spain.

"I am sure the supporters will have seen him in action and will be very excited by the prospect of seeing him in a Brighton shirt."

Vicente began his career at Levante in 1997 before joining Valencia in 2000, making over 300 appearances during his 11-year spell with Los Che.

Today, I feel old.

Today, I feel old. I hadn’t given much thought to the fact that I must be getting on a bit now that I am receiving my government pension. I am passably fit and I don’t get too many aches and pains. I must admit that my eyesight is not as good as it was and I do get occasional lapses in memory but I do not yet suffer from incontinence. Furthermore, I am the same age as Rod Stewart, Eric Clapton and Debbie Harry and younger than Mick Jagger, Sir Paul McCartney and Cliff Richard and they are all still wearing well. So why do I feel a bit past it today? Well, exactly 50 years ago, on 8 August 1961, I reported to the Training Officer at Telephone House Brighton. I was starting my first job, as a trainee telecommunications technician. A Half a century has passed!
