M

otorists will be mad, petitioners will be pleased – and cynics will be even more convinced councils are milking a cash cow. Brighton and Hove wants to stop Preston Park being used as a car park by commuters, shoppers, and other people leaving their cars while they go to work. It follows a 2,000-name petition demanding spaces be freed up for park users.

The council would limit parking to The Gallop and The Ride, and exclude parking from other internal roads, and along the London Road side of the park. A six-hour time limit would prevent workers parking there all day.

The council said: “New parking charges would cover the cost of enforcing the scheme – and charges will be kept to a minimum and will be ring-fenced to improvements to the park”.

The maximum stay for on-street parking along parts of nearby Preston Park Avenue is from four to 11 hours to provide alternative parking for workers, residents and others.

Charges inside the park would be from 50p for up to an hour to £3 for up to six hours. What do you think?

Chance of a lifetime

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN The time line is subject to planning permission being granted on Friday and approval being granted each step of the way by the Department of Health and the Treasury.

Spring 2012 Preparation of temporary buildings, including a six-storey building bordering Eastern Road, begins. Work will also start on the air ambulance landing pad.

Duane Passman has spent years planning a new Royal Sussex. Now it’s D-day. Frank le Duc reports

S

ome opportunities come along once in a lifetime. One of those opportunities is coming along on Friday. Twelve councillors will decide whether to approve a £420 million plan to modernise the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton. The aim of the scheme is to replace pretty much the whole of the southern half of the site – the buildings facing Eastern Road. And to perch a helipad on top of the existing Thomas Kemp Tower, the building in which thousands of Brightonians have been born.

If the plan is approved, bigger and better-equipped new buildings will go up.

And the bulldozers will sweep away the pre-Victorian Barry Building, which dates from the 1820s. And the Jubilee Building, opened in 1887, will also be demolished.

The interior of the much-loved and admired chapel will be preserved and included in one of the replacement buildings.

THE 3TS

The plans are a vital part of what is known as the 3Ts project. This involves modernising the Royal Sussex as it becomes the regional centre of excellence for the 3Ts: • Teaching • Trauma • Tertiary care The teaching bit is fairly obvious. The hospital jointly runs the newest – and most popular – medical school in the country with Brighton and Sussex universities. Many patients’ first experience of trauma care is in A&E, although patients go to A&E with other problems. In layman’s terms, trauma usually involves broken bones or heavy bleeding or both. The bleeding may be internal and the trauma may involve serious head injuries. Car crashes and horse riding accidents are the most common causes. Tertiary care is led by specialist consultants serving a much wider area than Brighton and Hove. They treat, among others, patients with cancer, kidney disease, HIV, heart and neurological problems and some of the children at the new Royal Alex.

THE BARRY BUILDING

Summer 2012 Services and staff affected by the construction of Stage 1 begin move to alternative locations, including the old St Mary’s Hall school buildings.

Spring 2013 Stage 1 construction begins. This involves building an 11-storey three-fingered tower block.

While many of us have a fond regard for the Barry Building, it has been described as impractical, expensive to maintain and falling short of Spring 2017 widely accepted modern standards.

Land was is complete. even identified as suitable for hospital buildings – at Falmer – although it was for complementary facilities not a replacement. But plans to upgrade the current site have been the only serious proposals for the best part of 50 years.

Councillor Craig Turton is a Labour member of Brighton & Hove City Council. The hospital is in his East Brighton ward

“I

f approved, the plans will have significant implications for residents in the area of the Royal Sussex County Hospital. For everyone else, the 3Ts hospital redevelopment will see the hospital transformed in terms of the architecture and the patient services provided.

“Together with my fellow East Brighton councillors, I first met the trust to discuss these proposals in spring 2009. The concern we had was that local residents had to endure significant inconvenience and disruption during the building of the new Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital including dust, noise, vibrations and contractors working outside agreed hours. Above all, residents had complained about a lack of information from the trust.

“From discussions with the trust, it was agreed that a Hospital Liaison Group (HLG) should be established so that residents and members of conservation societies could meet regularly with the trust’s senior staff to have an open dialogue about the redevelopment plans. From November 2009, the HLG has met most months and since January 2010, when I was elected its chair, the agenda and issues discussed have been set by local residents rather than the trust.

“The HLG has been successful in influencing some issues, particularly the design of the new buildings, but less so in other areas, eg, the proposed helipad which no resident wishes to see. The value for the trust in having the HLG is that they were able to test out architectural designs with residents and then modify them based upon what local people thought were acceptable – a definite advantage when presenting the final design to the council’s planning committee.

“Obviously no design would please everyone, particularly a minority who wished to retain the façade of the Barry Building intact. However, the final design has been significantly influenced by the views of local residents and expertise of members of conservation societies and is far more acceptable visually than the completely unacceptable carbuncle originally proposed.

“Perhaps the most contentious issue which faces local residents is construction and the location of a consolidation centre. This will effectively be a construction site from which building materials will be assembled and transported to the hospital site. The consolidation centre would be in place for the duration of the ten-year redevelopment and, as such, cannot be reasonably regarded as a “temporary” site.

“The trust did identify Sheepcote Valley as a preferred location but are now considering locations outside Brighton and Hove. A development of this scale will involve some vehicles up to 40 tonnes using the consolidation centre and all will use Eastern Road at some point. This will create significant disruption for local residents and the local environment and may increase traffic congestion elsewhere in the city.

“The exact route will depend upon the location of the consolidation centre which the trust has yet to identify. It will submit a planning application separate from the main 3Ts planning application. The view of the three East Brighton councillors is that there should be a single planning application incorporating the consolidation centre.

“Obviously, such a move would cause delay to the trust’s timetable.

However, a unified application would be more transparent to residents and end any uncertainty as to the location of the consolidation centre and construction route. “

Duane Passman, 48, who is leading the 3Ts project, said: “The expression of that was the Thomas Kemp Tower in 1969. The original plan was to have two more buildings like that, but given the economic circumstances of the time, they were canned.”

Mr Passman has led seven similar projects before and noted: “This is the one that needs it the most. The Barry Building is the second oldest building in the NHS in-patient inventory. We keep it dry. We keep it clean. We do the very best we can with it. We spend a lot of money on it and the medical staff do the best they can in the circumstances.” He said that the wards occupied about 7,500 square metres whereas modern standards required about five times as much room.”

THE FIVE MAIN AIMS 1. Replace ageing buildings – The Barry Building opened nearly 200 years ago. The wards are cramped and will be replaced with modern facilities which are welcoming, accessible and purpose-built for the provision of 21st century healthcare.

2. Neurosciences – The Hurstwood Park Regional Centre for Neurosciences is being relocated from the Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath to Brighton.

This will place neurosciences alongside other key emergency services, enabling the Royal Sussex to be the major trauma centre for Sussex and the South East. It will ensure more co-ordinated treatment, on one site, for the most seriously ill and injured patients.

Mr Passman continued: “First and foremost we are the district general hospital for Brighton and Hove. That’s where we come from and that’s the most important part 3. Sussex Cancer Centre – of the development proposals.”

Despite his expertise Mr 5. Brighton and Sussex Passman said: “It’s a very Medical School complicated and challenging task.

We’re trying to get the inside right and be mindful of the exterior and the common reference points.

We’ve been very mindful and respectful of the comments we’ve received.

We’ve tried to be clear about what we can do and can’t do.”

Design changes had been made as a result of people’s comments, including moving the helipad from the new 11-storey building to the top of the Thomas Kemp Tower. And the operating guidance would reflect neighbours’ concerns about noise. He said: “People have lived in the locality for many years and change can be very difficult. We’ve tried to be sensitive.” He had challenged the team behind the new Royal Alex – a building that has won 70 national and international design awards – to exceed themselves, adding: “We want something as good as that if not better.”

Apart from saving more lives and enabling a better quality of life for those who have been treated, the project will bring more jobs to Brighton.

Hundreds of jobs will be created during the ten-year construction process, many of them local. And more medical and support staff will work at the modernised hospital.

Mr Passman pointed out: “It sounds like a cliché but it really is a once in a generation opportunity we’ve got. It’s subject to the planning committee but we’ve got the business case. The climate is right. We’ve spent quite a lot of time making sure there’s buy-in for this – not just at the local level but at national level too. If it doesn’t happen, it will be 20 years before we get another opportunity like this.” n

IN BRIEF n AREA ON TRACK FOR IMPROVEMENTS

The Imperial War Museum

Out of darkness

Around 1,200 people responded to consultation carried out at the end of 2011 on how to improve the area around Brighton Station.

In the findings 78.7 per cent said they came to the station on foot, despite the poor quality of pedestrian facilities and 73.7 per cent said they supported rerouting private vehicles away from the southern station entrance.

A small majority (42.5 per cent) asked for buses to be concentrated outside the southern station entrance, with 30.2 per cent preferring buses both there and in Queens Road.

Councillor Ian Davey, cabinet member for transport and the public realm, will consider the responses at the next environment, transport and sustainability cabinet on 24 January. He said: “We know from what people tell us that Brighton Station does not work well as a fitting welcome to the city, as a public space or as a transport interchange.”

If agreed at the meeting, draft design options will be drawn up and exhibited in the spring. Work is expected to start on site in 2013 and will complement improvements being carried out by Southern Rail inside the station.

n HOW TO SAY ‘I DO’ IN BRIGHTON & HOVE

Brighton & Hove City Council’s Register Office is revamping appointment times to make the busy service easier to access.

The city is a popular wedding destination with venues attracting happy couples from near and far to tie the knot by the sea. In 2011, Brighton and Hove registrars conducted more than 1,100 marriages and more than 200 civil partnerships. The Register Office is active throughout the year, with the traditional busy wedding season now stretching from April to October.

At present, appointments for pre-ceremony meetings run from 9.30am to 4.30pm Monday to Friday. Many couples ask for a wider range of options to fit in with work and other commitments. The Register Office has responded with plans for additional premium appointments available earlier and later in the day, as well as weekend options.

To make an appointment to enter a notice of marriage or civil partnership and for enquiries about ceremonies call: 01273 294421.

n THUMBS UP TO COMMUNAL RECYCLING Residents in the Brunswick and Adelaide area of Brighton and Hove have given a massive thumbs up to communal recycling.

Following a recent consultation, 87 per cent of residents said they were willing to take part in the city’s first communal recycling trial.

The aim of the scheme, which could begin in April, is to make it easier for people to recycle and improve recycling rates in the area. Brunswick and Adelaide wards have a large number of flats, where residents have little space to store recycling boxes. Communal recycling bins will be introduced in the area bordered by, and including Holland Road, Lansdowne Road, Western Road and Norfolk Road and south of Western Road from Brunswick Square East to Western Street/Norfolk Square. At present these streets receive a weekly recycling collection service.

Councillor Pete West has been asked to give the trial the go ahead and will make his decision at an Environment Cabinet meeting on 24 January.

HOMESTAY

A home from home Being a host family in Brighton & Hove can lead to a fuller & richer life. Latest 7 finds out how

B

righton and Hove is an enticing prospect for international students.

A buzzing, cosmopolitan city where everything you need is right on your doorstep; who would want to live and study anywhere else? As a result, the city has a thriving academic scene, with two successful universities: Brighton University and the University of Sussex; City College Brighton and Hove; and a number of language schools including the English Language Centre and Regent Brighton attracting international students with the fantastic courses offered.

Students come here to live, learn and play.

Why they are drawn to Brighton and Hove is a simple equation: great education, a fantastic location (convenient for London’s top airports) and a friendly city too.

As a result, homestay is a popular choice for students. Host families are always in demand to help teach, support and offer a safe living environment to international students. The UK Homestay Code of Practice (see right) must be adhered to, so if you are thinking about playing host to a student studying in Brighton, do so if you know the code can be followed.

Regent Brighton has been teaching English to foreign students for almost 50 years. They know that the homestay is a vital part of a student’s cultural experience and provides a perfect opportunity to practise English.

13

Being a host family is about welcoming the student into your home and making them part of your family. Offering accommodation to students is a rewarding, enriching experience for both student and family. Hosts often find they make lifelong friends with their students. It is also a great way to put some money aside for next Christmas or upcoming holidays.

The English Language Centre (ELC) is one of the longest established language schools in Brighton and Hove, celebrating 50 years in 2012. A notfor-profit educational charity, ELC Brighton welcomes a large number of international students annually. Whether they are studying to improve their English for university or for business, the majority choose to stay with a local host family. By living in a homestay, in addition to practising their English, the students learn about every day life in Britain.

The English Language Centre, 33 Palmeira Mansions, Brighton, BN3 2GB, 01273 721771, www.elc-brighton.co.uk Regent Brighton, 18 Cromwell Road, Hove, BN3 3EW, 01273 731684 www,regent.org.uk

English UK’s Homestay Code of Practice • Encourage the student to speak English as much as possible in your home.

• Encourage the student to feel at home treating him/her as a family member.

• Do not host another student of the same native language at the same time unless by special arrangement with the students and the schools/centres.

• Provide a clean and comfortable student room, meeting the requirements laid down by the British Council.

• Provide a home environment in which the student can carry on his/her English Studies properly.

• Provide the student with a balanced and appropriate diet.

• Show due concern for the welfare, safety and security of the student.

• Give the student reasonable/regular access to bathroom/laundry facilities.

• Maintain a close liaison with the student’s school/centre.

• Respect the student’s cultural background, being sensitive to his/her needs.

The FA Women’s Cup 3rd Round is approaching

G

us Poyet deserves some sympathy, he is having more than his fair share of bad luck with all the injured players piling up on the physio’s table. The players probably have to take their turn on the table in shifts. Perhaps they have a Dick’s Bar steward managing the queue of the wounded with a hearty; ‘Sorry lads, one in one out’ as the creaking physio’s table groans under the strain of yet another rub down for a wounded winger. There is no disguising Gus’s frustrations. In the game against Bristol City when first Craig Mackail-Smith then Jake ForsterCaskey left the field, the exasperated Albion manager turned to the West Stand, raised his arms aloft and shouted. For those that couldn’t hear him, the choice words are not repeatable here.

Heavy watering of the pitch before each match and at half “For those that time too in a bid to soften the surface makes sense. It doesn’t couldn’t hear him, the seem to be a problem of the top soil, it seems the turf rests on a choice words are not shallow bed of earth and sand beneath a much harder base. repeatable here” The danger of going on about the pitch of course, is that the players will start to see demons where there are none, but it’s impossible to ignore the fact that there is an issue with injuries and addressing it in the close season must now be a priority for the club. Some interesting ideas have been mooted to solve the problem. Some of you living in Brighton will be aware of the ‘Worm Bin Man’. He is the man who comes to collect the food waste from our discarded food bin, courtesy of Brighton and Hove Council, which is then used to cultivate worms. Now worms, as the keen gardeners amongst you will know, are essential for maintaining a healthy soil and can irrigate and soften the ground as well as fertilise it.

So, perhaps the club should join in with Brighton and Hove City Council’s wonderful worm bin project and deposit a ton or two of squirming nematode’s onto the pitch to soften it up? It’s a great green initiative and who knows, it might even work. They could be the best transfer window signings ever. Just a thought.

Brighton & Hove Albion men’s team have progressed to the fourth round of The FA Cup, meeting Premier League side Newcastle this Saturday (28 January).

Following closely in their footsteps is the Brighton & Hove Albion Women’s Football Club, who have progressed to the third round of The FA Women’s Cup. The ‘Sea-gals’ face South West Combination League side Havent & Waterlooville who beat Premier League opponents Plymouth in the last round. The match takes place on Sunday 5 February 2012.

Meanwhile, in the AFA Regional Fixture Programme, Brighton & Hove Albion’s Centre Of Excellence

(COE) U13’s, U15’s and U17’s face Chelsea in a friendly, away, on Saturday 25 February.

The club’s COE is a great starting ground for youngsters wanting to play football professionally. BHA’s COE is one of only 30 FA accredited programmes in the country.

Graduates of the Girls' Centre of Excellence are offered a pathway into further education through an Academy Programme provided by Worthing College. Training and competition provided within the Academy allows members of the U17’s to build their knowledge of the game through increased training hours.

blast from the past Albion Vs Palace So, the lucky few who have tickets are girding their loins for what is surely the biggest game of the season so far since, well... the last game against Crystal Palace. But revenge is due and pride can be restored with a good result at Selhurst Park. A hero of the Albion’s 1-0 win there a few years back is currently on loan at Palace. Paul McShane who wore the Albion’s colours that wonderful day will be wearing the Eagle instead of the Seagull in the game. With Glenn Murray probably starting for Palace, we won’t know who to boo first. Joking aside, I am sure that nearly all the Albion fans going will give the players the most full throated roar of support they can give, which will make for a very spicy atmosphere. Freedman is doing a good job there and it’s going to be a tough game, just how it should be. I prediction a 3-3 draw; all penalties. Come on lads, we’ll talk about you for years if you win this one.

Stewart Weir looks back at the history of fouls

I

m wondering if Gus Poyet knew that in 1280AD a ball was kicked in Ulgham, Northumberland and one of the players was killed as a result of running into another player’s dagger? Football used to be nothing more than a mass brawl, frenzy that left a trail of battered and bleeding bodies. It’s claimed that, on one occasion before there were FA rules, 40 players drowned in a pond at Pontl’Abbé in Normandy.

Will Jago talks to Albion keeper Peter Brezovan ahead of FA Cup Fourth Round Peter Brezovan has backed himself to keep the Albion goalkeeper’s jersey despite the arrival of Colombian stopper David Gonzalez and competition from Casper Ankergren.

The Slovakian put in an impressive performance against Wrexham last night, keeping the scores level during the game and pulling off the only save in the penalty shoot-out, ensuring Albion host Newcastle United in the fourth round.

He told seagulls.co.uk: “I don't feel under pressure in the penalty situation because it's up to the taker to score the goal. I don't really have anything to lose so they have all the pressure.

"It was a cup game so it wasn't about entertaining; it was all about getting the result. We didn't play that well but I'm just glad that we won. I had some information about one of the Wrexham penalty

takers and I saved his penalty, so it worked out well in the end.

“I’m in the team and it's down to me to keep playing well, and if I do that hopefully I will stay in the team regardless of who has been signed. I know it's in my hands so I will try to do my best and I do trust my ability.

“I’ve enjoyed being back in the team and it’s been a big few weeks because I'm a dad now too. Now I have a little boy it makes me realise what is really important in my life.”

The Seagulls will welcome the Toon Army to the Amex on Saturday 28 January, for a fixture that will be broadcast live on ESPN, but Brezovan has talked down the game.

“For me it will not be massive, it will just be another game of football.

If I think about it too much it will put lots more pressure on my shoulders and that is what I don't want.

“I will take it as another game and it’s one for the fans. Newcastle are a very good side and in the top division so it’s going to be another big day for our supporters.”

“The ball that you think is the easiest and the least dangerous in a football game is the one that makes you lose the game” – Gus Poyet For some reason daggers are banned from the pitch today as is kicking, punching, swearing and even fouling. The Albion whilst occupying mid table obscurity haven’t been slow in making their presence known to the other side. Already this season the team has had more red and yellow cards than the whole of the last season. Nothing wrong with a team having a hard edge though. It didn’t do Leeds United any harm in the ‘70s, did it?

ONLY JOKING!

Bare cheek Brian Mitchell and Joseph Nixon’s thoroughly scurrilous Brighton column

I think the opening ceremony should consist of the people who designed the ‘2012’ logo being strung up. That would put the crowd in a fantastic mood for the games.

Mike Harwood, Brighton

Yes! It’s 2012 and in a few short months it’ll be time for the olympics – the event that will finally put London on the map after all these years. We asked our readers what they thought of it all and have printed the more legible replies below.

I had an Olympic village accommodation centre built over my house, squashing it flat, and am now living in a cardboard box under a railway bridge. Nevertheless I am as enthusiastic about the Olympic Games as ever! Hooray for Britain!!!

Simon Colon, Portslade

Have your say Personally I can’t wait for the opening ceremony orchestrated by Danny Boyle and Stephen Daldry, surely the two most talented men in Britain. I predict it will all go brilliantly, and in no way whatsoever be a damp squib or a failure due to the UK’s unswerving inability to organise even the smallest knees up in a brewery without the whole thing collapsing about everybody's ears.

Hooray for Britain!

S. Traven, Hove As we are hosting the games, providing accommodation and so on, I think it would be only fair and polite if all the other nations were to wear a slight physical handicap, say a 200lb bag of shot strapped between the shoulders and a small concrete block

WHAT WAS THAT? attached to each leg. Come on other nations – show some sporting spirit!

Tony Crisp, Portslade I think the best thing about the Olympics is those fantastic mascots, Wenlock and Mandeville.

They’ve been a real hit, haven't they? My two year old loves them, although he has started having extremely bad nightmares since I bought him the cuddly toys of them, but I’m sure that's a coincidence. Hooray for Britain!

Linda Torquemada, Aldrington

Dear Mike, Bit of a tricky one for you here I’m afraid. I was having a drink in my local hostelry the other night with some close friends and talk turned to a movie star we remembered. The man in question was a tough, grizzled figure who appeared in many films in the '70s and I believe is still working today. He was particularly noted for his cowboy flicks, in which he tended to play a handsome, batted loner, often unshaven and puffing on a cheroot and wearing a poncho.

My new girlfriend and I were looking forward to a saucy weekend. She is called ATM and is a 3D robot – an up-cycled creation made from art on canvas that dispenses coffee and performs super-heroine tasks. ATM and I checked in and received a friendly greeting and

our room called the Play Room suite made me want to make some shapes and shower ATM with real Champagne.

ATM paused on the round bed under the round mirrored ceiling and her dot matrix printer started spewing out words like ‘Pelirocco, oooooh yeah, Pelirocco... show me some downtime, show me some decadence, show me some pop subculture, retrograde futurism’. We pole danced into the early hours and fell into the plunge bath together. ATM ate my delicious

18 SNAP SHOTS

Snap Shots Photographer Diana Frangi captures the faces and places that define our city. This week: songwriter Paul Steel

“

I wanted to make a kind of stream of consciousness pop record that could get really far-out and also accessible and enjoyable to listen to. The track ‘Why X5’ is probably the most rock/metal thing I’ve ever done. ‘Saturday Night In Alcatraz’ is about Capone era, Alcatraz prison in an alternate universe where it is compulsory to attend disco dancing classes every Saturday night, before prisoners head back to their cells. The last track, ‘Roll Up My Sleaze’, is about the small town attitude I grew up with.

”

One of Brighton’s most exciting musical talents, songwriter and producer Paul Steel.

After his popular record ‘Your loss’ – which came along three years ago with one of the most original videos around – and his two albums April and I and Moon Rock, Paul spent a few years working on several collaborations.

He is now back producing his own music, a new project called ‘LL Cosmonaut’ and released an EP just before Christmas which is available at http://llcosmonaut.bandcamp.com.

There are also a couple of the songs available for free download at www.llcosmonaut.com.

Paul will be performing his new songs at the Prince Albert in Brighton on 16 February. www.paulsteelmusic.co.uk

New boy band Lawson, Dancing On Ice judge Robin Cousins, Cover Drive & Little Mix in town

The next big thing L

ast week the queue for The Haunt’s live music showcase was off the hook as the hottest up-and-coming boy band of the moment took to the stage. Lawson, who’s drummer Adam Pitts hails from Brighton, interestingly named themselves after a surgeon who performed a life-saving operation on their singer/songwriter, Andy, and since this epiphany it seems the band have gone from strength to strength. Fresh from supporting Avril Lavigne and Will Young on their UK tours, with their ‘robustly melodic guitarpop anthems’, Lawson will next be seen in Brighton supporting The Wanted on their arena tour starting in Feb. If you fancy catching the guys before they hit the big time, be sure to get your hands on some tickets for The Wanted’s gig at The Brighton Centre on 20 February.

ROBIN ON ICE

ITV Pictures

Celebcity with Jo Brooks

Friday 13 January saw the UK premiere of the annual blade runner extravaganza that is Holiday on Ice. This year’s offering, Tropicana, was choreographed by my old mate and Brighton resident Robin Cousins. Robin took time out from being head judge of ITV1’s hit show Dancing On Ice, to personally host the opening night – he even put his skates back on while taking the mike! The show was gloriously spectacular, with all its usually glitz, glamour, outlandish costumes and with a soundtrack solely by musical legend Barry Manilow – it really hit the skating spot.

Tropicana runs at the Brighton Centre until 29 January. See also Latest People, p4.

20 L7 INTERVIEW What really makes you laugh?

“What really makes me laugh? Erm, most of what really makes me laugh these days comes off of Twitter I think (laughs). There’s an astonishing amount of wit flowing about on that thing. A lot of that really makes me laugh.”

Who do you follow?

“I think Caitlin Moran is quite the funniest person in Britain. Grace Dent – absolutely hilarious. David Arnold, the composer, did loads of Bond stuff and Sherlock and things like that.

He’s hilarious. There’s just loads of them. Loads of people knocking about on Twitter who are just fantastically funny and post funny things. I absolutely love sitting and watching the X Factor and tweeting through it and watching those people tweet [laughs]. It’s like being in the pub with your mates. It’s hilarious.”

POLITICAL ANIMAL

Looking through your CV, you’ve done so many things: author, stand up, actor, TV host, sitcom writer, newspaper writer...

“It’s really weird when you list them off like that.

Really weird, [laughs] because I have technically done all of those things.”

Is it a creative adventure?

Dear Jacquie Your queries about natural health answered by Jacquie Lane from the College of Naturopathic Medicine

Garlic is a natural immune system booster. It may stimulate the production of infection-fighting white blood cells and enhance the efficiency of antibody production.

To get the full benefits of garlic, you should eat it raw or very lightly cooked. Typical garlic pills may have had the active enzymes in the garlic that provide the health benefits processed out.

Dear Jacquie I’m fed up with getting colds and chest infections at this time of year.

Are there any prevention strategies I can follow?

AB, Peacehaven

Zinc also increases the production of infection-fighting white blood cells, and helps white cells release more antibodies. Good sources of zinc include beef, oysters, crab, turkey, scallops, oats, yoghurt, ginger, venison and spinach.

There are many things you can do to boost your body’s immunity.

Specific nutrients and foods to do this are: Vitamin C boosts your immune system by helping to increase the production of infection-fighting white blood cells and antibodies. It may also increase your level of antibodies that coats cell surfaces, preventing the entry of viruses.

Good food sources include parsley, broccoli, bell peppers, strawberries, oranges, lemon juice, papaya, kiwi fruits, cauliflower, kale, mustard greens and Brussels sprouts.

Vitamin E plays an important role in the health of your immune system.

The main cells of your immune

system patrol your body, waiting to attack a dangerous invader. As you age, your immune cells don't work as well as they used to, so your immune system is weaker.

But vitamin E has been shown in studies to significantly increase immune cell activity, thereby making your immune system stronger. Good food sources are spinach, Swiss chard, turnip, greens, mustard greens, cayenne pepper, wheat-germ, hazelnuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, asparagus and bell peppers.

Probiotics are great for enhancing your immune system, a healthy dose of beneficial bacteria that reside in your gut and make up about 70-80 per cent of that immune system. Look for sugar free probiotic plain yoghurts and probiotic capsules. Elderberry extracts and certain herbal ranges may also be beneficial so as always see your Nutritional Therapist for a personal plan.

See your health professional for advice.

Save our seeds Seeds at the ready! Seedy Sunday is back

G

ardeners and allotmenteers are gearing themselves up for the start of another gardening year, with Seedy Sunday marking the start of the growing season for many greenfingered residents.

This annual event, now in its 11th year, is the UK’s largest and oldest seed swap, with more than 1,500 visitors expected. The idea it to preserve and distribute seeds not commercially available (such as heritage varieties of vegetables) and encourage people to grow the widest range of flowers and crops possible. This will help to preserve biodiversity and also to find plants best suited to our local conditions.

If you’ve saved seeds from last year’s crops, you can take them along (in clearly marked envelopes) to swap them for seeds you want to grow this year. If you weren’t able to save seeds, just pay a 50p donation for each packet you want – and pick up information on how to save seeds this year to swap in 2013!

The event also features lots of stalls from local community groups, charities and food, seed and environmental businesses and organisations, plus children’s activities and demonstrations. A full programme of talks and discussions takes in topics from planning for year-round vegetable crops and bee-keeping to issues including food sovereignty and seed saving. The day will be rounded off with the ever-popular gardener’s question time, your chance to ask a panel of local gardening experts any question from the basic to the more advanced aspects of growing and saving seeds.

Whether you’re just growing a few herbs on a windowsill, taken on an allotment for the first time or have fingers so green people think you’re wearing gloves, Seedy Sunday should be a firm fixture in your diary.

Seedy Sunday, Hove Town Hall, Norton Road, Sunday 5 February, 10am–4.30pm, £2 entry (children free), www.seedysunday.org

It’s all in the mind Zara Baker speaks to Jonathan Conway of The Conway Practice to find out how NLP therapy can bring about positive change

N

euro Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a relatively new therapy that has been growing since the 1970s. Jonathan Conway qualified as a hypnotherapist in the year 2000.

A Masters and NLP Coaching Course followed, establishing him as a practitioner who helps a number of people overcome anxieties and phobias.

With health problems linked to smoking and weight, and with the recession adding stress and strain to our everyday lives, Jonathan Conway explains how NLP can help now more than ever.

What age group can benefit from NLP/hypnotherapy?

“There is not really an age limit as it can be helpful for children to the very elderly.”

Can NLP therapy be chosen over medication?

“NLP and hypnotherapy can be particularly helpful for helping people make behavioural changes – smoking cessation, weight control...It can also be helpful to assist people to increase their performance in sales and working in teams. It is

not a case of being chosen instead of medication but a different approach to resolving emotional and behavioural problems.”

What can NLP help with?

“Smoking cessation, weight control, phobias, stress management, building self esteem and confidence, controlling anxiety, public speaking and learning to relax through self-hypnosis” Please talk us through a session...

“Sessions are usually a hour in length. At the first appointment I would usually ask the client some background about their overall situation and agree an outcome as to what the client is hoping to achieve. It is important that this is realistic and achieveable. I would also encourage the client to do something for him/herself that they enjoy. This 'me time' could include going for a walk or listening to music. Keeping some kind of journal of achievements can be helpful as this helps to build self-esteem and confidence.”

How many sessions are usually required?

“The average number of sessions is usually around six but it can be less or more.”

How successful is NLP? Do clients fall back into old habits years down the line?

“NLP Coaching is a very popular and effective way of helping people; some clients will need a top up from time to time.”

Tell us about the newly launched website www.theconwaypractice.co.uk...

“The main reason for launching the new website was to make sure that it can be regularly updated and that I can include a blog. The first website was built when screens were narrower and technology has moved on since then.”

What do you want most people to take away with them following NLP/hypnotherapy?

“I want people to feel better about themselves and learn to be as kind to themselves as they can be to other people. Seeing what their true potential really is and what the next steps truly are.”

Where are you based?

“I currently work in Brighton and Hove, Horam, Forest Row, North London, and Harley Street in central London.”

What would you tell someone who is considering NLP and hypnotherapy?

“There has never been a better time to take stock of where we are going in our lives. As life gets more difficult it is good to learn to be the very best that we can be.”

Are telephone sessions available?

“Yes, they are. This would be similar to a face to face meeting but by phone, thus saving the client time in travelling to my practice.”

ower Plate® classes at Revitalise in Hove have firmly been on our radar for a few years now. Since they were first introduced in the UK, Power Plate machines fascinated both gym fanatics and exercise-phobes. Promising to deliver a full-body workout with twice the results in half the time, Power Plates are a must for those desperate to shift those last pounds put on over winter and get in shape for an event such as the Brighton Marathon and skiing holidays!

ANDREW KAY’S FOOD & DRINK

Food & Drink Andrew Kay collects his chips at Brighton Marina’s Rendezvous Casino

Safe bet

T

here was a time a few years back when the Rendezvous Casino at Brighton Marina was attracting a lot of praise as a place to eat. It was justified too, the food was very good. But a few years back those chefs moved on and opened their own place to equal praise, and for some reason I forgot about the ease with which one can eat at almost any casino and how affordable it can be too. There has certainly always been a policy of selling high quality dishes, Dover soles and fillet steaks, at prices that few other restaurants could afford to do, and sometimes a sole and steak is just what the doctor ordered.

My friend Mr M, a food festival cohort, informed me that under the new management, the casino restaurant was hitting its stride again. So off I went to meet him there for dinner and no gambling. I say that because gambling doesn’t really do much for me, but there is no obligation to hit the tables if you simply want to dine or have a drink for that matter.

The first nice surprise of the evening was that the restaurant was in the more than capable hands of my old friend Anna, a seasoned catering professional.

I knew that we would be in for a very nice time; she can balance quality service with friendliness in a way that few ever master.

Over a G&T Mr M pointed out a few rather understated notes on the menu.

Tucked away they point out that rather a lot of the produce they are using is locally sourced. Now I know it’s a trend that some places have adopted, even if all they mean is that the tomatoes came from the local Co-op. But there they had listed the farms. I was impressed.

Anna took us to what I know is the best table with a view of every corner of the room, from the slots to the roulette. The menu is by no means “The menu is by trendy, if anything it is a little old fashioned but I was in the mood for no means trendy, if that. Mr M seemed equally happy and started with some very good chilli anything it is a little prawns, huge specimens sat on a salad old fashioned but I dressed with more chilli sauce.

I chose the scallops which came with toasted bread. I will be honest and was in the mood say that the portion was not huge but for that” it was certainly made up for in the quality of the cooking. Each was perfectly seared on the outside and just warmed in the middle and beneath them was as good a puddle of beurre blanc as I have had in some time, no gimmicks or tricks, just clean and precise cooking.

The chef sent a message out to apologise to Mr M that the fish supplier

27

had only sent in fillets of Dover Sole. Now we both know that it tastes better and stays hotter when served on the bone normally, but the fillets were cooked to perfection, snowy white and perfectly tender. I did look on with a sense of envy, until my steak arrived.

Now I would nearly always choose a rump or a rib-eye or a sirloin over a fillet. Fillet is so often over-priced and under-flavoured.

But Anna was very keen to recommend the fillet and I have to say it was sensibly priced. It came on a large plate with a spray of roasted cherry tomatoes on the vine, a field mushroom and a bucket of chips. Anna had asked if I would like a sauce with that and I asked if they had a blue cheese one. She nodded and there it was, served in a white china sauce boat and as good a blue cheese sauce as I have ever had. I confess to not liking the bucket thing but I will get to that later. The steak was good, not as rare as perhaps I would normally like but still rosy pink and succulent.

Puds were pleasantly old fashioned, a fruit crumble for Mr M and a sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream for me. Coffee came in a cafetiere and was very, very good and brandies were served warmed over a cup of hot water, a very pleasing old school touch.

So about that bucket – well it really lies at the heart of my only complaint.

You see the food is good, really good, the meat excellent, the fish fresh and the cooking precise. I really could not fault any of it, although cherry tomatoes cooked on a vine are like culinary landmines if you don’t prick them. No, the cooking is good and the service is exemplary. What it lacks is style on the plate.

The look of the food is dated; the tableware, that quirky variety of squares, oblongs and oblique angles that was so popular in 1999, but now just looks odd. And especially when the food is rather traditionally British in essence rather than artfully dainty nouvelle nonsense. And the bucket? No, no no.

Please put the chips on the plate where they will stay hot and crisp and mop up some of those nice steak juices and the blue cheese sauce.

I know this is nit-picking and believe me I feel mean, but really, they could fill the place every night with produce cooked this well if it only looked better on the plate, or indeed if the plates looked better. Casino culture is changing, the licensing changes make it a more relaxed place to visit and the prices are far from scary. Given a choice of a drink here before a film or in a pub and I would go to the casino every time. I would get a seat and a very warm welcome.

hat joy to leave a theatre with a beaming grin on your face and a warm glow inside. As a boy I loved Arthur Ransome’s books, so my memory was fuelling my expectation of this production, and I have to be honest, I did wonder how relevant it would be for a modern audience. I also worried that those behind it would feel a need to modernise. Thank God they did not! Set in a time when children played outside and parents did not constantly fret over the safety of their offspring, the Walker children set off on an adventure that sees them battle the elements and enemies in the most delightful way, so delightful it had me thinking how impoverished a child’s life is in these days of computer games and enforced incarceration. Helen Edmundson has beautifully captured the mood and the language of the period, and the cast brilliantly presented the modes of speech and manners of that time. This was clearly not a musical either but a play with songs, and where a musical would use dance this had movement which is used not to fill a gap but to progress the narrative. The representation of the two boats is so simply and beautifully executed that they are totally believable. In fact, the whole performance had an air of gentle and enchanting reality. Neil Hannon’s score has much of his trademark wit and whimsy and a timeless quality that works so well in this timeless piece that evokes an age when imagination and invention were kings, where a broom pole could become a mast, a garden cane a reed bed and a blanket a sail. Brilliant ensemble playing from the entire cast made this a work of real joy, an example for a younger audience that both in theatre and in life, we do not need computers and gimcrack wizardry to be transported to delights, and for older generations a nostalgic journey to a time when a good book could happily fill the hours.

HOLIDAY ON ICE TROPICANA: THE PASSION TOUR

What’s not to like about an evening filled with superb athleticism, technical wizardry, artistic and challenging choreography and the music of Barry Manilow? Holiday On Ice have done it once again with a sparkling show that sees director Robin Cousins hitting a new creative high. The CGI backdrop is a superb addition to the whole and Mr Cousins as ever keeps a tight control of the whole, making sure that the sometime excesses of wardrobe are kept in check. The result is a far more modern iceshow, right for the 21st century, but make no mistake, there is still glamour and glitz enough to make

this one of the sparkling events of the calendar.

JAZZ MEETS JIVE

Maybe it was the evening’s cold weather but it took a while for the opening act ‘The Jazz Aces’ to warm the audience up. Eventually the five-piece, clad in bright yellow traditional zoot suits, whipped the crowd up in time for British jazz legend Kenny Ball and the latest incarnation of his ‘Jazzmen’. The band kept the energy going by racing through some jazz/swing classics, including Kenny’s ‘60s number one hit ‘Midnight In

THE MISTRESS

Wesker is the UK’s greatest living playwright, a fact often unsung. But last night Nicola Haydn’s direction went a long way to proving that. The genius is, that as a man, Wesker can write with a beautiful, poetic and powerful female voice. The Mistress is evidence of that art, but in lesser hands the play would be disastrous, it demands good direction and above that a talented actor to take on the complex role of Samantha. Jo Merman is that actor and she gives a performance that is confident, gripping and ultimately heart-breaking, a real tour-de-force.

This is a must see performance if ever there was one and hopefully this short run will be revived very soon. The intimate surroundings of Upstairs at Three and Ten suit it well, the claustrophobic and oppressive mood created a fine setting and the re-configured space works better than ever.

Upstairs at Three & Ten, 17 January JJJJJ Andrew Kay

L7 Bookings On sale this week…

The Philadelphian singer-song writer may have got off to a slightly unremarkable start, but there were some real gems once she got going.

‘The Lonely’ showcased her impressive voice and, while a Roy Orbison cover missed most of the audience, new song ‘Crazy’ gave us a taste of better things to come with its rougher edges.

The encore was, of course, ‘Jar Of Hearts’, a cracking pop song which was stripped down to an intimate solo performance at the piano.

Although enjoyable, the most impressive thing about Christina Perri’s performance was the amount of potential just waiting to be realised.

L7 Previews STAGE: THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE BLOODY BRILLIANT The Spaghetti Western Orchestra returns with a hilarious musical tribute to Ennio Morricone & Sergio Leone

Y

ou only need to hear three haunting notes and not only do you know the tune but you cannot resist joining in. You know the tune, the genre and even the composer and that is because the works of Morricone are iconic, he even manages to make whistling cool. But the joy of the Spaghetti Western Orchestra is that they deliver the themes in a hilarious and compelling way. The five Australian cast members are extremely talented performers both musically and comedically.

The show is a high charged romp through the genre and the works are delivered in an utterly authentic form; not only do they sound like the film soundtracks, but on top of this they have fun, peppering the evening with sound effects and visual gags that have the audience rocking in their seats with laughter.

They even manage to get the most resistant audience members to join in and sing along.

With over 100 instruments between them, some clearly homemade, and a battery of sound effects, the cast deliver the best known scores and a few interesting additions. They each play a clichéd Western role, although there is no plot, just a sequence of grunts and whoops and the occasional walk about the stage.

It would be good without the great staging but with it it makes for some really theatrical entertainment that simply flies by and has the audience hollerin’ for more. Yee ha!

STAGE: ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO’S NEST Award winning Tanglehead Productions are to bring their sell out Brighton Fringe production of One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest to Komedia this month.

Having won the 2011 Brighton Fringe Festival Audience Award for their adaptation of Dale Wasserman’s play of the classic Ken Kesey novel – the company’s work proved to be a catalyst for the Komedia. “We haven’t been involved in theatre for over a year but this wonderfully realised version of the play, proved a spur for us, and it has been a pleasure to bring the show to the Komedia,” said Marina Kobler, artistic director of Komedia.

The play skilfully and comically uncovers the dehumanising affects of society’s labelling and incarceration of individuals in mental institutions. Although an ensemble piece, the performance particularly focuses on the impact of Randle P McMurphy who, to escape prison, feigns madness and ends up in the Institute.

“The work is funny, dramatic, tragic, but ultimately redemptive, and although written in the 1960s the piece has a resonance for a 21st century audience,” said Rikki Tarascas, company director, adding: “It is a fabulous piece of theatre that shines with humanity.”

One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, Komedia, Brighton, 19–22 Jan, 7.30pm, £16.50/13, box office 0845 293 8480, www.komedia.co.uk STAGE: MAY May is a woman living on the edge, Douglas is a man living in his head.

When their worlds collide, only the truth can save them.

Told through dance, words and music, Probe’s tale of the relationship

between May and Douglas pitches gritty realism against beguiling fairytale, disclosing an unlikely yet passionate love affair between two misfits. Grove and Duke deliver Probe’s most exciting duet work to date; whilst musician Scott Smith’s understated comedy grounds the whole piece in the here and now.

Critically acclaimed, this daring work of dance theatre written by Tim Crouch and directed by Pete Shenton of New Art Club, is back by popular demand following its UK tour in 2011.

COMEDY: THE HUMBLE QUEST FOR UNIVERSAL GENIUS Mark Allen delivers pure comedy genius

T

he search for an all-rounder has been on ever since it was time to pick sides in games at school and the kid that could both hit and catch the ball got chosen first. Comedically speaking, Mark Allen has hit the ball right into out of bounds and happened to be dallying there, up to who-knows-what in order to catch it with an arm like Popeye after a particularly good tin of the green stuff. The Humble Quest For Universal Genius is a fabulous concept for a comedy show, enriched by its live arena and all the better for its players, host and audience.

Mark Allen hosts the show, ably aided by his ‘glamorous’ assistant Eli Silverman. Rounds consist of such fabulous topics as ‘etiquette’, ‘poetry’, ‘wit’ and ‘hunting’, utilising the multiple guess format and a multimedia element in their delivery with PowerPoint and videos. This is truly a search for a universal genius among the comedy fraternity (and sorority), and has been going down a storm around the country as Mark took it to various outdoor festivals in 2011 and played it to enthralled houses in both Brighton and London.

Now with a new year comes a new home to The Humble Quest For Universal Genius as it takes up monthly residency at Komedia. Kicking off with two power-players for the title, regulars on TV and radio and both having featured on The Michael McIntyre Comedy Roadshow broadcast across the nation, it’s Zoe Lyons Vs Simon Evans. You can even compete against them yourself as the audience itself plays a major role, experimenting as to whether the ‘hive brain’ of those seated viewers can outdo the individuals battling it out for the title. You’ll understand when you get there but know that no-one will be picked on and it’s loads of fun.

Future intellectual comedic duels are set between Stephen Grant and Steve Hall next month (26 February) and pitch Joey Page Vs Michael Fabbri on 25 March. Once visited this is a night always treasured. See you there.

FILM: A MONSTER IN PARIS 3D (U) Director: Bibo Bergeron

A

French film with a mostly American voice cast to feed the kiddies’ brains with creative ideas. Yay! After all of the Oscar-fodder aiming high for recognition and age group (The Artist notwithstanding – another mostly French film) it’s good to find something in our cineplexes for the younger audiences to enjoy.

Set in Paris in 1910, this tells the tale of a shy projectionist who joins forces with an inventor to accidentally create Franc – a monster with a fabulously terrifying talent for music. Obviously this means that there are politicians and bureaucrats after their new beastly friend for their own nefarious reasons – enter the evil mayor commissioner Maynott. Luckily they have the perfectly charming and gutsy cabaret singer Lucille on their side to help good (hopefully) triumph. Can the pals really keep their animated creation safe and musically happy in this early 20th century city? Cripes, you can fairly taste the peril.

Featuring the vocal talents of Vanessa Paradis, Adam Goldberg and the singing acrobatics of a certain Sean Lennon.

STARS With Val Aviv

HARIES {Mar 21–Apr 20}

Life can be unpredictable but that doesn’t mean you should give up trying or allow the knowledge of life’s impermanence to stop you pursuing your dreams. Just because something might not work, that doesn’t mean it won’t. Stamp out doubt, nurture faith.

HTAURUS {Apr 21–May 21}

You’re not one for blatant experimentation for the sake of it, yet sometimes if you feel stuck in a rut, it’s often the best way to get a jerk reaction back to life. There are many opportunities at your door; all you need to do is say ‘yes’ more.

HGEMINI {May 22–June 21}

You have a mysterious glint in your eye and you can leave people mystified by the possibilities of what you might be thinking. Use your imagination for the betterment of all and avoid trickery, for a more magical life is not a more complicated life.

HCANCER {June 22–July 22}

Investigating and getting to the heart of the matter doesn’t mean that when you get their, your matter vanishes into thin air; it still requires your patience. Still, an incredible feeling surfaces and things are looking better than ever.

HLEO {July 23–Aug 22}

It’s all systems ‘GO’ and as you look around you realise these times are precious, in some strange way, these times are the making of you. Remember to appreciate the good grace that comes to you now so not to be complacent.

HVIRGO {Aug 23–Sep 22}

Sometimes when we’re stuck in a traffic jam and the car in front slowly etches forward it gives us the illusion of going backwards, yet all the while we are actually still. The surrounding progress is something you are also a part of.

HLIBRA {Sep 23–Oct 22}

You’re on the verge of a great many changes so keep your finances in order. Your mind starts racing as you’re learning something entirely new about a relationship revolution that’s liberating. You may not know it but you’re on the up.

HSCORPIO {Oct 23–Nov 21}

Changes have left you feeling a little out in the cold, however one never learns about ones resilience until you have to fight the good fight. Yours can be easily fought and won if you embrace change and stay positive.

HSAGITTARIUS {Nov 22–Dec 20}

What is stable and consistently predictable may not be as appealing to you during these times where the unpredictable and the inventive may send your senses into a frenzy. Find new ways to express and feed your love of excitement.

HCAPRICORN {Dec 21–Jan 19}

You have more power than you realise, in fact, you’ve never had more power. So now that you’re psychologically self aware, what are you going to do with it? Sit on it with a satisfied all knowing look on your face? Or make a difference?

HAQUARIUS {Jan 20–Feb 19}

Sometimes you have to get out of your own way. You don’t need to change a lot, you’re a mere thought away from making a world of difference. What is inherently within will be magnified through the lens of your perception and become without.

HPISCES {Feb 20–Mar 20}

You can’t be everything to everyone, even though you naturally try. You are however very special to a select few.

Focus on all the support as the quality of your life is determined by exactly what you choose to zoom in on.

monday 30 The Royal Bodyguard BBC1, 9pm David Jason seemed to be avoiding comedy after Only Fools and Horses finished, opting for more serious stuff. This is a more slapstick role as a bumbling exguardsman who is somehow responsible for the Royal Families’ security. Don’t expect any Kevin Costner/Whitney Houston moments though.

Party Paramedics Channel 4, 10pm The fly-on-the-wall documentary seems to be making a revival of late and this is the latest to come along. It follows the paramedics that deal with the many drunken predicaments of revelers, this week in the party hot-spot of Kavos, Corfu. So prepare to feel much better about yourself and what you did last Saturday night.

Skins E4, 10pm With a brand new ‘year six’ batch of teenagers ready to make their way through a confusing and life-changing adolescence, the characters may change but the story and faces are similar. Plenty of wild parties as some friends become enemies, some enemies become friends and everyone is richer for the experience.
