Not Dead Yet “I consider it my good fortune to live locally, as Brighton is such a great location for a crime writer – it has so many interesting nooks and crannies, and so many possibilities lurking beneath the surface, waiting to be drawn out,” says author Peter James. “My new book features an LA producer planning to make a blockbuster movie, while for rock superstar, Gaia, this is the role that could get her an Oscar nomination. And for the city of Brighton and Hove, the publicity value of a major Hollywood movie being filmed on location, about the city’s greatest love story – between King George IV and Maria Fitzherbert – is incalculable. But Detective Superintendent Roy Grace has a nightmare unfolding in front of his eyes as an obsessed stalker is targeting Gaia..."

Britain could not fail to notice the blanket publicity given this summer to the latest book by

Brighton’s own internationally celebrated crime fiction writer, Peter James. As with his previous books, Not Dead Yet was launched with a fantastic party in the city and is the 8th in the phenomenally successful Roy Grace series, which have notched up sales of two million copies in the UK and 11 million worldwide.

Not Dead Yet sold 8,905 hardback copies in its opening week, making it his third number one in a row. Much of his new book takes place in and around The Grand Hotel and the Royal Pavilion, giving it an added frisson for readers who recognise his many references to the city's locations.

Peter also won the People's Bestseller ‘Dagger’ at the ITV Crime Awards presentation in 2011, beating off competition from some of the greatest living crime writers. www.peterjames.com Words & photos: Diana Frangi

It built on some things that were already happening while looking for fresh ways to cut waste and duplication across the public sector without damaging services. Some critics would like to have seen more and quicker progress. Others were worried about the inevitable job losses that this would bring.

London student Amit Chhetri, 24, went missing near the West Pier and after several hours of searching by lifeboats and a coastguard helicopter his body was washed ashore.

Witnesses were in tears as seafront officers tried to revive him but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The death prompted one rescuer to say: “The sea may look appealing but it can so easily bring tragedy. We have also seen youngsters suffering serious injuries diving off piers and groynes. Everyone needs to treat the sea with respect.”

Residents have been warned about bogus callers claiming to be offering council tax refunds.

Police, meanwhile, have raised money for good causes by selling stolen goods recovered from crime suspects. They donated £250 to St Andrew’s Residents’ Association in Hastings to fund street play sessions for local children.

This new team will be headed by Steve Barton, who currently works in the council’s children’s and family services. Also involved are the police, health services and other partners in the city. Together we will ensure our work is more consistent.

The council has been awarded £600,000 to work with the first group of families over the first three years. This programme should begin in the coming months.

The right level of support?

Almost £10m is being taken from people on benefitsin Brighton and Hove this year. Frank le Duc reports

T

he amount being paid to people on welfare benefits in Brighton and Hove is expected to be cut by £9.6 million over the current financial year. Almost 7,500 people will be affected by the changes with about 660 among the biggest losers. Officials and politicians have expressed concern, even while many of them accept the case for change. And to compound their concerns, last week the Prime Minister said that more needed to be done to reform the welfare state.

David Cameron said that the present system started with the best of intentions and had grown with the best of intentions. But the result, he said, was hugely expensive, complex and unfair. He wanted benefits to provide a safety net not a lifestyle choice. And he said: “The time has come to go back to first principles – to have a real national debate and ask some fundamental searching questions about working-age welfare.” Those questions include: What it is actually for? Who should receive it? What should the limits of state provision be?

take home £24,000 after tax. They’d love to start having children – and they know they’d get some help from the state if they did so. But with the mortgage and the bills to pay, they feel they should keep saving up for a few more years. “But the couple down the road, who have four children, haven’t worked for a number of years.

Each week they get £112 in income support, £61 in child benefit, £217 in tax credits and £141 in housing benefit – more than £27,000 a year. Even after the £26,000 benefit cap is introduced, they’ll still take home more than their neighbours who go out to work every day. Can we really say that’s fair?

“Next there’s the situation with young people who want to leave home. Take two young women living on the same street in London. One studied hard at college for three years and found herself a full-time job – say as a receptionist – on £18,000 a year, or about £1,200 take home pay a month.

She’d love to get her own place with a friend – but with high rents in her area, the petrol to get to work and all the bills, she just can’t afford it. So she’s living at home with her mum and dad and is saving up desperately to move out.

“Then there’s another woman living down the street.

She’s only 19 years old and doesn’t have a job but is A NEW WELFARE SYSTEM already living in a house with her friends. How? Because Mr Cameron said that almost one pound in every three when she left college and went down to the job centre to spent by the government went on welfare, with £84 billion “This sent out sign on for jobseeker’s allowance, she found out that if a year going to able-bodied people of working age. He said some incredibly she moved out of her parents’ place, she was that those who could work should work.

Again, is this really fair? with money. He said: “We need to have a welfare system “This has sent out some incredibly damaging signals. that the country can properly afford.

ANDY WINTER BHT CHIEF EXECUTIVE

In a recent speech, the Prime Minister said that he was considering removing housing benefit from those under 25. This appears to be one of the most ill-thought through, headline-grabbing policy announcements that I can recall.

There are some questions that demand answers: How can parents be obliged to take their adult children back into the home and what happens to those young people where they can’t ‘go home’? What protection will there be for children and young people who have left their family home to avoid abuse and domestic violence? What happens in those cases where the parents have ‘done the right thing’, by moving to smaller houses once their children have moved out and there is now no spare room?

What happens if there is no room in the parent’s home for other reasons, such as second families with children? I have to ask why David Cameron is bringing this proposal forward now? We are already witnessing the most profound changes to the benefit system in my lifetime. If this is such a pressing issue, why was it not identified and enacted when all the other changes were introduced?

The BBC’s political correspondent, Vicki Young, has suggested that Mr Cameron’s speech will be seen as an attempt to reconnect with disgruntled Tory backbenchers. I don’t know if that is true, but if there is even a hint of reality in her analysis, it ill becomes a Prime Minister to risk a huge rise in youth homelessness for internal party expediency.

This isn’t the pressing problem it is being made out to be. Those under 35 living in the private rented sector are entitled to just £77 housing benefit per week. Just 6 per cent of those under 25 living in the private rented sector currently receive housing benefit.

And 92 per cent of new claims for housing benefit are from those in work.

They are already ‘doing the right thing’ but this measure will hit young people already in jobs. The consequence of this proposal will be an increase in overcrowding, homelessness, begging, crime and prostitution.

At a recent meeting of the Brighton and Hove Strategic Partnership – the city’s public, private and voluntary sector leaders – a senior council official also shared some anonymised real-life case studies. Valerie Pearce highlighted the case of an unemployed couple with four children who stand to lose £300 a week when benefits are capped at £26,000 a year. Unless one of them can find a job with a high enough salary, they may be forced to move – possibly even out of the area.

She spoke about a 31-year-old single plumber from Hove who takes home just over £800 a month and lives alone in a flat. But changes to housing benefit for under 35s mean that he will have to find an extra £280 a month or move in with someone else. In another case a full-time working woman who also looks after her father, who has had a stroke, will lose more than £50 a month as a result of housing benefit changes.

The risks identified by those dealing with claimants included rising levels of homelessness, debt, rent and council tax arrears. More people, including children, were likely to end up in temporary accommodation, with families displaced and disadvantaged, greater demand for children’s social care and unpredictable movements in school populations.

Mention was made of community cohesion – suggesting worries about more crime and disorder. The same meeting heard separately about a rise in, “thefts from the person,” including muggings. Those affected by rent arrears include private landlords as well as the council and housing associations.

The changes would lead to some council and housing tenants being forced to move when their children leave home. Newly qualified graduates might then find they don’t have the option of going back home if they fail to find a job as soon as they leave university. And decisions about whether to take in elderly relatives could be made more difficult.

At a council meeting earlier this year Valerie Pearce said that many of those on benefits could expect to receive less money while having to meet more conditions. The government has given the council more money for crisis loans although the sum was modest and more of the benefits would be administered by the council instead of government departments.

More changes take effect from next April, some affect new claimants rather than those currently receiving benefits. But the direction of travel has been set. Mr Cameron’s latest speech makes clear that the debate will continue and that further reforms are likely. If a growing number of people find work, he may succeed and trim the bill for benefits. If not, councillors will be trying to prevent communities like Brighton and Hove from paying the price in other ways.

” “ MIKE WEATHERLEY MP FOR HOVE

Since 1997, society’s definition of the welfare state has altered.

A culture of dependency and entitlement has emerged where ‘fairness’ and ‘compassion’ have become synonymous with the size of the benefits handed out by the state. The previous government gave little thought to the social effects that these handouts have had on the children growing up in Britain today who lack a single parent in regular employment.

The notion that the Conservatives’ plans for welfare reform are driven by a motivation to disadvantage our society’s worst off stems from a complete misunderstanding of our intentions. The old notion that less well-off families are best served by throwing a never-ending stream of money at them is no longer credible. Millions of families are locked in a confusing web of benefits, which tramples aspiration and stifles the natural desire to provide for oneself and one’s family.

The coalition’s replacement of a myriad of benefits, including incomebased jobseeker’s allowance and housing benefit, with a single universal credit system is just one way that we are removing the disincentives to employment that have been in place for years.

Since 1997, payments in disability living allowance have risen by 87 per cent. I can’t imagine that many would agree that the system has improved since then by a similar percentage. The current system seems far worse – and it is failing the most seriously disabled as £600 million is being funnelled into the pockets of those who no longer even require help.

Under our present system, a hangover from the post-war years, about 57,000 families are entitled to claim £25,000 in benefits, which is more than average earnings and equivalent to the income of somebody who earns £35,000 before tax. In most circumstances, to claim such a large amount from the taxpayer is unjust.

For the first time in 60 years, we have the opportunity to decide what we want our welfare system to do. Do we want it to continue to instil a culture of helplessness and dependence among society’s most vulnerable or do we want to create a new system which provides help to people in their efforts to build a better life for their families? To me, the choice is obvious.

Football fans were asked to nominate their favourite Brighton & Hove Albion player as part of the Olympic torch celebrations, so he can be recreated as a lifesize figure. Albion in the Community, the club’s charity, has commissioned Same Sky, the community arts charity, to create the figure from willow, tissue paper and paint.

He will make his debut in Hove Park on Monday 16 July as families picnic there from 4pm waiting for the Olympic torch to arrive, just after 6pm. Same Sky artist, Paul Render, who will be making the figure said: “I can’t wait to see who gets picked and start building him. The Hove Park celebration is all about enjoying our community and local sport activities so it feels right to have an Albion player there.”

Fans were asked to pick from a shortlist of Peter Ward, Bobby Zamora, Garry Nelson, Stuart Storer, Steve Foster and Kerry Mayo. The deadline for votes was Monday 2 July.

■ SOUL ARTIST OMAR IS RECOGNISED IN QUEEN’S BIRTHDAY HONOURS Neo-soul artist Omar LyeFook – known just as Omar – has been made an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List for services to music. The 43-year-old Brighton-based artist is due to release his new album, The Man, in the near future on local label Tru Thoughts.

Omar said: “I am absolutely chuffed to bits to be named in the Birthday Honours List. I want to dedicate it to all my die-hard fans who have always told me to keep on doing what I’m doing. The music I make comes from the heart because it is all about selfexpression, a true art form, and now to be recognised in such a way is outstanding and I couldn’t be more humbled. I wake up every day and give thanks for the job that I do.”

He thanked his family as well as all the musicians, producers, promoters, booking agents, DJs, journalists and labels that he’s worked with over his seven albums and tours over the past 20 years. He added: “Last but not least to all my fans I say a big thank you. I’m a person that likes to do things differently and without your reassurance that I’m doing something right I’d just be some nutter making up beats and grooves in his mum’s basement.”

■ COMMUNITY FUNDED SOLAR PROJECT GOES LIVE ON LEWES PRIORY SCHOOL Non-profit energy company Ovesco has completed its second community-owned solar energy project in Sussex. The roof of Lewes Priory School now boasts 143 solar panels. The £63,000 project was funded with money left over from the community investment in the Harvey’s Brewery installation, the first major project of its kind in the country.

Ovesco, with the help of local company Southern Solar, installed the system. During term-time the school is expected to use most of the energy generated by the system but during the school holidays the surplus will be sold back to the National Grid. While the school will save about £3,000 on its energy bills, investors in the project can expect a return of four per cent a year over the next 25 years.

Tony Smith, head of the state secondary school, said: “Our vision for the school was to become more sustainable and community-involved. Our pupils really embraced the idea and were keen to do something bigger. “At the same time the school was under pressure to reduce costs and I struggled to see how we could improve efficiency with little funds. In return for our roof space, the solar installation will reduce our energy costs while supporting a very worthwhile community initiative.”

12 SNAP SHOTS

Snap Shots Photographer Diana Frangi captures the faces and places that define our city. This week: Phil Sayers, Kieran Shelley, Debbie Badger, Ben Ranger, Pete Gasson and Mark Swaithe take on the Trailwalker for Oxfam

“

We were fascinated by the mystery and fear that has been associated with the men of the Gurkha Rifles and the respect that they have earned from all levels of the British Armed Forces. We are a group of 12 people and we originally planned to attempt the three-peaks challenge this year, but after discovering the Oxfam Trailwalker, we decided that this would be a more challenging event. Phil’s family has a connection with the Gurkha Rifles going back to his grandmother’s stepfather who served in the Great War of 19141918 and his Great-uncle – Oliver Chaplin, who, during the Second World War, spent two years attached to the 1st Gurkha Rifles fighting in India.

”

Phil Sayers, Kieran Shelley, Debbie Badger, Ben Ranger, Pete Gasson and Mark Swaithe will be hiking 100km across the South Downs on 14 July to raise money for Oxfam and the Ghurkha Welfare Fund. In 2002 Trailwalker UK was opened up to the public via a partnership with Oxfam and has since grown into a major fundraising event. The hike, which starts near Winchester and finishes at the Brighton Racecourse, is a 62 mile course that must be completed in less than 30 hours. The group of 12 are hoping to finish the walk in 24 hours and their target is to raise £4,500. The group is holding a fundraiser quiz night at The Hove Kitchen on 9 July at 7.30pm, with a raffle and prizes donated by local charities.

BACK TO SCHOOL

Celebcity with Jo Brooks

Brighton college made an interesting new “fwend” last week when The Inbetweeners star Simon Bird – who plays glasses wearing, briefcase sporting Will in the E4 comedy series – gave a talk at the school’s speech day. Taking to the stage at the Brighton Dome, Simon spoke on a topic which both him and his television alterego share a certain expertise on: the plight of being an awkward teenager. The talk came around after headmaster Richard Cairns personally invited the TV star – whose brother Alan Bird happens to be head of Sixth Form at Brighton college. Let’s hope Alan hasn’t witnessed any of Will’s on-screen antics, or it’ll be straight to detention for him!

The Inbetweeners’ Simon Bird, Pride drag queens & a new haunt opens attracting local celebs

FULL OF PRIDE

I hung out with the most fabulous drag queens last week as Pride handed over their first donation to local LGBT group, The Rainbow Fund. The first donation was a whopping £5,000 and comes as a result of the commitment made by Pride Brighton & Hove, a community interest company, to ring fence £1 from every ticket sold for the benefit of local LGBT causes. This will then be distributed by The Rainbow Fund to support local LGBT/HIV frontline services and community groups within our proud city.

New Mayor Bill Randall also helped present the check to Paul Elgood – Chair of The Rainbow Fund – as it was a bit more than Lola Lasagne was used to handling. Mr Elgood said: “The Rainbow Fund is delighted to be part of Pride and see it truly return to its community roots. The grants process will close just a month after Pride in early October with decisions in November. The process will be independently overseen by the Sussex Community Foundation and we want to see this money get to the community groups who need it most as quickly and fairly as possible after Pride”.

Trevor Edwards, director of Pride, added: “As we enter our second stage of ticketing I would encourage people to buy their tickets early, so that we can present more cheques like this faster than planned.”

Tickets for Pride Brighton & Hove on Saturday 1 September are currently on sale at www.pridebrighton.org priced from £8.50.

14 ONLY JOKING!

Brian Mitchell and Joseph Nixon’s thoroughly scurrilous Brighton column

WHAT WAS THAT? Can’t remember the name of a book, TV show, film or similar? Mike Hunter has the answers

Dear Mike, I wonder if you can help – some years ago my family and I used to play a game together on Sunday nights, and also at Christmas and various other bank holidays whenever we were at a loose end. It was a board game, in which each player would have to answer frivolous, inconsequential, or nugatory questions on a variety of themes. For each correct answer he would receive what some referred to as a ‘cheese’ and others as a ‘slice of pie’, which slotted into a section of a segmented, circular counter. The first player to fill his counter with said ‘cheeses’ and return to the centre of the board was the winner. Things could get quite heated, especially if you had to answer a question on a topic you didn’t know much about – my particular bete noire being ‘Science

and Nature’ (other categories included Entertainment, Literature, Sport, History, and Geography.)

This game revolutionised the industry, and was soon followed by many copycats, such as ‘Pictionary’ and ‘Balderdash’, which strove to reproduce the look and feel of the packaging.

I have tried for months to discover the name of this game, relentlessly researching the topic online and haunting toy shops and second hand markets in the hopes of glimpsing it, but have had no luck. My family seem to have no recollection of the game at all, and have even intimated that I’m making the whole thing up and that I am, perhaps, mentally disturbed!

Please, please put mind at rest as I am at my wits’ end.

Dear Alec, Well, this might seem a ‘trivial’ matter, but I can see it is deadly serious to you. Never fear, your ‘pursuit’ has come to an end, and you can assure your family that you are perfectly sane. The game you remember does indeed exist, and is

and the man in the audience with a board saying, “let go”.

The problem is that the undercover operation is hampered when every throw is intercepted by another man in the audience who knows about this plan and observes the man with the “let go” placard hold up his “let go” placard and every time this happens the athlete/spy wins the contest. A cameraman documents the shenanigans and Chris Tarrant becomes an international spokesperson for fixing results via audience participation.

WHAT WE SAY NOW: “All you can eat.”

Once only used by restaurant buffets patronised by the oversized and/or penny-pinching, this phrase is now applied to things that one could not, under any circumstances, ingest, e.g. data. “All you can eat iPhone data plan – £25 per month.”

WHAT WE USED TO SAY: “Limitless.”

A sinister Olympian

Matt Whistler imagines an Olympic farce omewhere in the middle of walking inbetween the two piers, accidentally sitting on my cling-film wrapped cake on the beach and passing Plato, I has a realisation for a sketch.

It's the Olympic assassin who is being fiercely trained up for the 2012 Games, but is being hired to bump off various figure heads around the world with her amazing throwing abilities. She is being guided by an evil, dastardly man sat at a control desk, who monitors her throwing event and works out at which point she needs to let go of the javelin which then travels to the far reaches of the globe to spike the target. The command, “let go,” is a five-way operation between the control centre, a steward, a sports commentator

none other than ‘The Sweeney Board Game’, based on the Thames TV show of the same name and produced by British company Omnia in 1975. Glad to have been of help, and please keep those letters flooding in, Mike X

L7 INTERVIEW

WHAT’S EATING GILBERT’S CAKE?

Comedian, hot head and radio presenter Rhod Gilbert is a very busy man with his new tour The Man With The Flaming Battenberg Tattoo so Victoria Nangle emailed him. He kept his cool for most of the interview...

Hi Rhod. How’s your day going?

“My day is fine thanks. I’ve only been up five hours and I’ve already been to the toilet, and successfully managed to make my first online purchase: some shirts from America. It took me nearly three hours. I’m very excited, as I have never managed to buy anything online before (unless you count accidentally buying five Chesterfield sofas on eBay). I am what’s known as a ‘technodick’.”

Do you really get as fired up at the minutiae of life as your stage persona implied?

“Inside, yes. I do get really wound up about stuff. I don’t show it as much in my day to day life as I do on stage, but inside the feelings of anger are bubbling away pretty strongly at lots of little things. I just let it all blow out on stage. I’m like a zit that you keep for a special occasion, then burst as a treat. I save my frustration, so I can burst open like an overripe zit on stage.”

That tattoo on your poster looks very impressive.

What’s the furthest you’ve ever gone to promote a show?

“The tattoo was not to promote the show. The show is called ‘The Man With The Flaming Battenberg Tattoo’ because I have this stupid tattoo that I never even wanted but that changed my life. I did it just to make a point...I was doing a TV show

If I was a politician one of the first things I would do is to ensure that teachers were looked after, wrapped in cotton wool, with government funded personal masseuses, drivers and personal assistants, whose jobs it would be to massage their shoulders on the way to school like a boxing coach, rub their feet, grant them sexual favours, so that when they go into that classroom they are excited, motivated, fresh as a daisy and raring to go.”

What is the best thing/side product that being a successful stand-up comedian has allowed you to experience?

“Having a job that I love, that does not feel like work, and that I think I am genuinely born to do in the sense that I think I am OK at it. Before I started comedy, whatever job I was doing, I kept thinking, ‘Why am I doing this meaningless, pointless, poorly paid rubbish job that I am crap at?’ Now what I do is equally pointless and meaningless, but at least there’s a bob or two in it.”

Since then, Educating Rita has never been out of production somewhere in the world. The film version, which starred Julie Walters and Michael Caine, was Oscar nominated and won three BAFTA awards.

Matthew Kelly has worked in theatres across the country, the West End and on television as one of Britain’s most popular actors. Winner of an Olivier Award for Of Mice and Men and widely acclaimed for his performance in the television drama Cold Blood, his recent stage roles range from the musicals Spamalot, Lend Me A Tenor and Legally Blonde in the West End to Troilus and Cressida at the Globe and Waiting For Godot with Ian McKellen.

Claire Sweeney is one of the UK’s best loved personalities with a string of credits to her name on stage and screen. Her West End roles include Chicago and Guys and Dolls, a UK tour of Legally Blonde and Andrew Lloyd Webber and Don Black’s one woman show Tell Me On A Sunday.

PEOPLE’S DAY 2012

Shiny happy people Brighton celebrates its diverse population at People’s Day 2012

W

ith music, arts and culture being high on the list of Brighton and Hove’s well-known attributes, it’s easy to forget the essential ingredient that makes our city one of the most popular places in the UK to live, work and visit - and that is of course, its people.

Visitors will have the opportunity to learn about healthy living, uncover the history and culture of the city and get a chance to relax and unwind. Other highlights include live music by Brighton band, The Fragile Creatures, African drumming and dance workshops, Chinese brush painting and penalty shoot out games with local football teams.

An urban oasis Kirsty Taylor from Uniquely Organic EcoSpa, Hove Olympic gold for wellbeing July is often the hottest month and this year it will be a sporty one too with Wimbledon first and then the Olympics.

Not many people I know have got tickets for live events, which means it may be a pretty lazy summer for most of us. We’ll either be lolling about on sofas, supporting Team GB or taking ourselves off to the beach to escape.

The number one party venue in Europe’s sexiest city – BRIGHTON!

Happy birthday to us!

It’s two years since we opened Uniquely Organic EcoSpa in Hove and I’m really happy with the way it’s developed. It grew from a seed of an idea I’d had in my student days. This was to create a safe, chemical-free spa offering the most sumptuous pampering without inflicting any damage on the wellbeing of our clients or the health of the environment.

My idea was to use only pure organic products in our treatments within as environmentally-friendly a space as possible. So our ethos is to be eco in everything we do whether decorating the spa, keeping the premises spick and span or carrying out treatments.

We’re on track

You make the booking, we make it happen.

Tell us what you want, we’ll provide it all.

A fabulous party and you have to do nothing!

NEW!! We can now film your party in high definition and give you a DVD to take away with you at amazing introductory prices. We are the first venue in the UK to offer this.

When we started out we offered a selection of facial, massage and beauty treatments but now we’ve really expanded our organic treatment range. We’ve added blissful hydrating body wrap rituals (‘wraptuals’), men’s treatments, organic waxing and sugaring, and organic spray tans too. But the jewel in our crown must be our Chakrosanct group of treatments, aimed at nourishing and balancing the seven chakras of the body, using organic oils we’ve co-created to target each chakra.

Our retail ranges have also blossomed out with Pukka teas and supplements and fair trade gifts joining amazing organic beauty products from Pinks Boutique, Willow Organic, Acorelle perfumes and Balm Balm.

Winning formula and 10% off So back to that lazy Olympic summer! The downside of watching sport on TV or lying on the beach is that your body gets all tensed up and sluggish. We can give you a sporting chance at feeling great again if you can get away from the box or beach and come to the Spa. Gain some Olympic rings of confidence through some of the best treatments in town.

To celebrate our second birthday, there’s 10 percent off one treatment per person for anyone bringing in this Latest 7 article during July.

ANDREW KAY’S FOOD & DRINK

Food & Drink Andrew Kay talks take-away after the delivery of a fine meal from Kemp Thai

Well tempered spice N othing hits the spot like a decent take-away when the cares of the day have worn you down and the lure of the kitchen is lacking. Yesterday was such a day, brought on, not by being too busy, although I should have been, but by some berk reversing his car into my leg on London Road. Now, I am from the generation that looks left, looks right and looks left again, but nothing can predict someone shoving their vehicle into reverse and powering into your knee – the bad one.

I spent the day on my back and called for a takeaway. Fortunately a few days before we had walked (not much hope of that this week) past Kemp Thai in St George’s Road and picked up a menu. The far end of Kemp Town is surprisingly lacking in restaurants and hostelries so the occasional carry out is a godsend. Who would have known that two days later I would be calling on their services.

One thing I expect from a delivery is that it arrives within a reasonable time of the promise and that it is hot. We don’t own a microwave, for various reasons, so a cold take-away is not acceptable. Kemp Thai delivered promptly and everything was piping hot.

I opened the carriers and inside everything was packed in waxed card cartons. It looked like a scene from an American TV series and I have to say that everything seemed to be fresher and hotter than the usual foil containers. Added to this I did not cut my fingers opening them. Each carton was clearly labelled too with the menu number of each dish, an excellent idea.

But all of this would be as nothing if the food did not make the grade.

Fortunately it more than satisfied on almost every level. Firstly with those nice pink prawn crackers that make lesser prawn crackers look and taste like packaging. next out was chicken satay, very good chicken, propery seasoned before grilling and with lots of creamy peanut sauce. It also looked good, even in a carton!

Thai sausages were a new one on me and although interestingly spiced and savoury, especially with the slivers of fresh ginger, they were not my favourite. I’m glad I tried them and I’m sure lots of people will love them.

Green chicken curry was very rich and mildy spiced, but what impressed most was the presence of lots of holy basil and kaffir lime, a flavour that too many lazy Thai cooks seem to leave out, despite it being pretty readily available these days. The steamed jasmine rice was good too, light and fluffy with just the right amount of stickiness.

21

Pad thai noodles with prawns were superb and plentiful, more than enough for two even if we had not had the rice. In fact I will be eating the left-overs for lunch in an hour or so. Again there was a sense of generosity to the dish, plenty of egg, plenty of flavour and plenty of fat prawns too.

Nua yang is one of my favourites, a salad of beef with a thai herb salad and in this case a sriracha dressing which was served on the side. Often the beef in this dish is sliced very fine, probably because it lacks the required tenderness to eat easily if any thicker. These slices were thick and the beef rare. I popped in the first slice and my heart warmed. It was as tender as could be, as good a slice of beef as I could have hoped for. The salad too was crisp and fresh and the dressing added just the right amount of fire, really first class cooking.

Steamed broccoli with ginger and oyster sauce was equally tasty and the broccoli had retained the much needed crunch to make this much abused vegetable palatable.

Our final dish was ped yang namun hoi, crispy roast duck on a bed of mixed greens topped with ginger and oyster sauce. Now crisp is an adjective often used with regard to duck but when it comes to take-away seldom achieved. I don’t know whether it was the cartons or a kitchen trick but this duck was crisp outside and succulent in. I was impressed, very impressed. Kemp Thai is now top of my take-away list and to be honest, I can’t wait to be exhausted again. Oh, and I love their loyal orchid scheme where you collect points towards free dishes. Prawn crackers are £1.95, starters £3.95, side dishes around £2.95, Pad thai with prawns £6.95, main courses from £5.95 to £9.95 for sea bass fillets.

Kemp Thai, 40 St George’s Road, Kemp Town, Brighton BN2 1EF open Tuesday to Sunday 5pm to 10.30pm 01273 698585 www.kempthai.co.uk

What’s your favourite take-away? andrew@thelatest.co.uk

Light bites Favourite fizz With Sussex winning global recognition for its fine sparkling wines it comes as no surprise to hear that once again the gongs have headed this way.

I first tasted Court Garden Vineyard’s wine at a Mixology Group tasting in Davigdor Road.

It was up against the better known English sparklers but for my money came out on top. The only thing I thought let it down was the packaging.

I tasted it again at the launch of the Brighton & Hove Food and Drink Festival Spring Harvest and this time was impressed not only by the wine but by the redesign which gave it the edge it needed to stand alongside some of the bigger brands.

Now I hear that Court Garden Vineyard in Ditchling has won two awards, picking up bronze at The South East Wine of the Year Awards and scooping first place in the Sparkling Wine category at the national ‘Designs on Wine’ competition, run by English wine promoters ukvine.

The Sussex Vineyard won the awards for their Court Garden

2009 Vintage Classic Cuvée, fending off competition from esteemed vineyards and wineries in the region and achieving the highest competition result for a 2009 classic blend of sparkling wine.

“We are thrilled to receive these awards which reflect the superb quality of this sparkling wine both inside and out,” said Howard Corney, joint owner of Court Garden Vineyard.

“The label features pen and ink drawings by the acclaimed illustrator John Vernon Lord, including a beautiful drawing of our farmhouse at Court Garden in Ditchling, and was a collaborative effort between John, graphic designer Pieter May and myself.”

Congratulations to them all and get tasting, it really is great! www.courtgarden.com follow me on twitter

Alex Bourne was pretty fine too as Fred Graham/Petruchio with a rich voice and plenty of swash in his buckle. The company were, as ever, finely tuned and drilled to perfection. Stephen Mear once again delivered superb dance numbers and a ‘Too Darn Hot’ that sizzled with sexual energy. Holly Dale Spencer gave a fine comedic performance too and Mark Heenehan has a luscious voice. Gangsters David Burt and Clive Rowe balanced sinister with silly beautifully but it is with them that one of the two faults with the show manifests itself. They simply lost the clarity of the lyrics in their big number.

It’s a problem that happened throughout and one has to question whether the band were too loud or that diction had given way to accent.

The second problem is not with this production but with the show, which has a terrible weak ending that I had hoped Trevor Nunn might have managed to resolve. All that said, this is a beautifully realised production with moments of pure theatre magic from designer Robert Jones that are worth the price of a ticket alone. Once again a must see musical from Chichester Festival Theatre.

THE IMAGINED VILLAGE

Every great band needs a rock solid foundation, and the first few strokes of new drummer Jem Lynch’s sticks confirmed that The Imagined Village would have no trouble following the exuberant Raghu Dixit, who had his audience both eating from his hand and dancing in the aisles. Coalescing around Martin and Eliza Carthy, The Village are a ten-piece collective who re-imagine English folk tradition with multiple voices, electronic and acoustic, from the melange of multi-culturalism that characterises English music. From the opening bars of ‘The Captain’s Apprentice’ to the closing notes of ‘Cum On Feel The Noize’, it worked.

Quite brilliantly.

The highlights; a near perfect rendition of Led Zepplin (the best Robert Plant impression I’d ever heard) and the ‘Star Wars’ scene re-enactment – dialogue, lasers, explosions and all.

There is only one word to describe this man: freak, but what a wonderful freak he is!

The turnaround happened after XFactor briefly catapulted him into the public eye. Aiden disappeared off the radar for two years, moved from Blackpool to London and worked on his self-penned forthcoming album Misty Eye, which is jam packed with tunes mixing everything from indie-pop to triphop to drum'n'bass. “It was more about me finding my feet and finding my own sound,” Aiden says.

The mockney accent and cute tea dresses are long gone as Kate rocks attitude in an all-female band. In a setting so intimate she says “I’m PMS’ing real bad, I feel like I can share that with you”, Kate played new songs from her upcoming untitled third album. Imagine lo-fi pop, rockabilly fused with grunge, ’90s mixed with punk, as well as oldies ‘Foundation’ and ‘Kiss That Girl’ without piano. Look out for ‘Rap For Rejection’ and ‘You’re So Cool, I’m So Freaky’. Kate Nash is loud, angry and noisy – just how girl bands should really be.

THE WAILERS

In a sweaty and gently gyrating Concorde 2, the audience found itself dancing in its own little world as multiple parallel universes formed, matured and died as each Bob Marley classic rolled off the production line. This was music as communion with reggae taking the place of the hymnal, audience as congregation with each and every soul suddenly at peace with itself: not bad for a Thursday evening. This was music by the people, of the people and for the people. And if it got a little bit holiday camp at times, well, perhaps it was what the audience needed.

LATEST PREVIEWS STAGE

L7 Previews STAGE: CENTRE POSITION Major ongoing works are turning the Brighton Centre into the UK’s most attractive conference venue

F

or years the Brighton Centre has had the air of an unloved albatross roosting on Brighton’s seafront, in fact occupying prime position. And it has courted controversy, for a long time threatened with closure, demolition and redevelopment. But none of that came to pass, plans for a new conference centre have never materialised and the Brighton Centre has continued to host countless conferences, exhibitions and, of course, live entertainment.

Over its history most of the world’s greatest bands have performed there and it was famously the last place that Bing Crosby ever performed live. Music, opera, dance, theatre and sports have all played their part in making the centre one of the country’s most popular venues, arena format but, compared to most, remarkably intimate.

In recent years though, it has looked tired, not surprising given the age of the building and the lack of interest shown in it for so long. Now it is re-emerging as a real contender. Local government investment has been made available and massive changes made. Some of the changes, like the new seating and the brand new glazed façade, are easy to see, but throughout the building there have been changes too. A new box office and café have breathed new life into the entrance area. Upstairs the restaurant has seen massive changes with the removal of the raised area and floor to ceiling window through which at last you can enjoy the fabulous view.

At the end of June the centre staged an event called the Ultimate Site Visit. It was aimed at conference and event organisers from across the UK and beyond and we were lucky enough to be invited along to see just how much work has been done. The event was brilliantly and innovatively staged with guests meeting in the foyer before being led to the main hall for an introductory speech. The room looked amazing, laid out conference style and fully lit. After the welcome, separate groups toured the building, going to places that few of us knew existed.

The investment has quite clearly been extraordinary, the team have revitalised areas that for years have been underused, creating new suites of meeting and conference spaces, lounges and multi-purpose event venues.

They proved this to us by staging different things for us to see. First a saucy seaside installation complete with Dolly Rocket and Cherry Shakewell plus ice cream. What a breath of fresh air to see that the council tourism department is embracing the fact the Brighton is Britain’s sexiest resort. This was balanced by a tour of more formal settings, press rooms, lounges and meeting spaces. But they were not shy of throwing

in a spin ball, so in one room we came upon a life drawing class complete with live model.

In another space Marilyn Monroe welcomed us to a Las Vegas casino bar where a young Elvis sang for us and we sipped champagne.

There were a few speeches and presentations along the way, one on sustainability which the Brighton Centre seem to have really taken seriously with massive investment in being greener and statistics to show how effective those actions have been.

By lunchtime we were flagging, and they certainly did us proud with a spread of food that would have impressed the most serious of food lovers, all served in the restaurant that overlooks the beach. Chatting to an event organiser, we complained about the weather but remembered that moment when Neil Kinnock fell into the sea.

Brighton can always raise a smile, she said, and it’s true.

The Brighton Centre has hosted every UK Prime Minister since it opened its doors, Caroline Lucas became the greenest MP there, and Maggie was not for turning there too.

It’s almost as if the Brighton Centre has adopted the same resolve. Adam Bates told me that the paint brushes never go away at the Brighton Centre and the result is starting to show. With more improvements scheduled and working with local businesses, like Aeon, who so brilliantly staged much of the tour, the Brighton Centre has a shiny new future to match its shiny new exterior. It was certainly impressive to see such a strong team presence all sharing in showing the outside world what a great asset the centre is for Brighton, and we should all be proud of that too.

COMEDY: IOU COMEDY – NICK HELM & JAMES ACASTER A coup of a double-header for the monthly comedy in the Lanes night.

Both acts will be performing preview material from their forthcoming Edinburgh shows, so may be a bit rough around the edges, but with this calibre of act we can easily forgive them. Nick Helm is the shouty one currently delivering character musical comedy on BBC3’s Live At The Electric and the collector of acclaim left right and centre. In your face and somewhat aggressive, he still manages to charm and disarm whilst prompting huge belly laughs.

James Acaster has had his fair share of telly exposure too, as seen on Russell Howard’s Good News and Dave’s One Night Stand, but has a gentler sensibility than Helm – as his support slots with Milton Jones and Josie Long attest. That doesn’t mean he pulls any punches on the belly laughs though, as his humour tickles with the very best nature.

STARS | TV

STARS With Val Aviv

★ARIES {Mar 21–Apr 20}

The full Moon may highlight your parental instincts, don’t be too hard as you may do more damage than good. In working relationships with authority figures, you may be unconsciously projecting childhood complexes, so take responsibility.

★TAURUS {Apr 21–May 21}

This month’s full Moon is heavier than usual and you may find you are left asking bigger questions about the authenticity of your life. A small change in attitude or philosophy can have big ramifications and a special someone could be the teacher.

★GEMINI {May 22–June 21}

By not risking anything, it is possible that you are risking a lot more. While expansive Jupiter and Lucky Venus are teaming up in your sign, you are given a generous helping of grace, which means you can turn any negative into a positive.

★CANCER {June 22–July 22}

The full Moon is given extra potency and you may perceive more. Psychological Pluto adds depth to your understanding of an important relationship. Accepting your unconscious desire for change is partly what brought you here.

★LEO {July 23–Aug 22}

The kind of love you are feeling around a group of friends should make this an enjoyable time where you can receive a lot of the support and encouragement you need. You’ll be far from lonely. A destined romance is heavily on the cards too.

★VIRGO {Aug 23–Sep 22}

There are many different types of love; there are things we love and feelings we love to experience and then there’s selfless love – all of which have their place and their purpose. Exploring life’s imperative as the full Moon insists your understanding of love deepens.

★LIBRA {Sep 23–Oct 22}

You are given a huge boost of confidence as you now have the influence of combative Mars coming to help you fight for what you want. Sometimes a bit of an ego can help you push your own agenda and is essential to the fulfilment of your desire.

★SCORPIO {Oct 23–Nov 21}

Some very potent forces are combining their energy now and something that begins to brew this week will become harder to ignore. Pay attention to the feelings that seem like trouble, they may erupt and you need to find an appropriate outlet.

★SAGITTARIUS {Nov 22–Dec 20}

You’re in the mood to collaborate with others as you can achieve far more together than alone. Being true to your higher self and doing what makes you happy as well, can bring you much solace while inspiring others to believe in you too.

★CAPRICORN {Dec 21–Jan 19}

The full Moon is in your sign and is your chance to reflect deeply on yourself. Is your outer persona a true reflection of what’s going on inside? Close relationships are also under the spotlight and you can discover if you are being true to yourself and others.

★AQUARIUS {Jan 20–Feb 19}

Issues that surface out of nowhere are likely to have been around for a long time, however it is easy to ignore things that we have suppressed. You may feel thrust into a void, the Moon may remind you to dream and to give expression to your spiritual nature.

★PISCES {Feb 20–Mar 20}

You may be less certain of yourself or others due to the undermining influence of your ruler Neptune, however keeping the faith will help you accept that while we cannot always know the destination; it’s the quality of the journey that counts.

L7 TV Your weekly TV guide 83 – 9 JULY the 100m men’s sprint. From the inaugural modern Games in 1896 when a runner named Tom Burke decided to take a new tack with a crouching start, right through 20th century Olympic Games, through politics and scandal as well as the evolution of the With Victoria Nangle race and its runners, right up to the latest exciting steps in the race’s progression. I never knew these were exciting times before this programme. Now I’m excited – good job BBC2.

The trigger of interest, with first Wimbledon and now the Olympic Games 100m race, has been context. Like when Hitchcock revolutionised how we watch movies with the launch of Psycho by banning people from coming in to the cinema at any time other than the beginning (previously people could drop in whenever they fancied, rather he Olympic Games have always kind of fouling up big reveals). Faster, Higher, Stronger passed me by – ridiculous I know. Maybe tells the tale of the race chronologically through because I was never very good at games at history and geographically across the track, school, maybe because I was more of a film buff delivering a greater understanding historically and so always took that option when it was on the technically of what I had previously thought was telly, or maybe it was just because it’s not probably just a bunch of highly trained men something I really understand. I had running as fast as they could for a similar attitude towards around ten seconds. That’s simply Wimbledon, until one year I the big reveal – like Hitchcock’s “I never knew unexpectedly was given some films without a bit of tickets to go along and see the understanding of the lead-up to these were tennis in situ and have thoroughly this momentous time. enjoyed it ever since. Watching By the way, I am being exciting times Faster, Higher, Stronger brought deliberately vague as to the details about a twinge of that first game on before this of what was revealed. To continue Centre Court I managed to catch the analogy, I don’t want to be the programme” from the edge of my seat at the back one to tell you (spoiler alert) that of the stands. Maybe it’s time I took Janet Leigh dies at the beginning the time to find out more. or that it was really a chap with Funnily enough, finding out more is exactly what severe mother issues.

wednesday 4 DIY SOS: The Big Build BBC1, 7.30pm Time to feel like getting up off the sofa and doing something for the community. Need a bit of inspiration? Nick Knowles and the DIY SOS crew enlist the aid of the local community to help finish the conversion of a two bedroom bungalow into a four bedroom home. With Mum down with chronic illness, it’s good to help.

The Killing Channel 4, 10.30pm Just a reminder – this US thriller is only inspired by the Danish original, meaning that at the end of the first season the killer hadn’t yet been found and the second season is seeing all manner of escapades. Like Sarah waking up in hospital on a suicide watch. Eh? She hasn’t a clue how that happened either.

FILM: Little Shop Of Horrors ITV3, 8pm With talk of a remake bouncing around the Hollywood rumourmill, now is the time to take in the original B-Movie musical from 1986 in all its splendour. Great tunes, top cast (including Rick Moranis, John Candy and Steve Martin), and the chance to get up in arms about whether any new flick could do it justice.
