To the person who came here by searching for celebrities living in Sussex, you’ve come to the right place, as I am THE leading internet celebrity in the county. Oh yes.
Cough.

AFF: through to the semi-finals of the Cup. But not by the wide margin that many pundits were predicting. I don’t think this is going to be easy at all. A lot will depend on this afternoon’s draw.
UPDATE: phew, glad the remaining Premiership teams didn’t get drawn against each other.

Bora has just popped round. The last time I’ll be seeing him for at least six months. Still, knowing Bora, he’ll turn up one evening when I least expect him.

Apologies if you’ve tried to use the archives in the last 24 hours. I updated the template of this site at Blogger whilst browsing using Mozilla, and it’s completely chewed the code. I think I’ve fixed everything now, but if you find anything wrong, let me know.
I’m not sure if I like Mozilla or not. It is faster than IE, that’s for sure, but maybe I’ve got too used to the way that IE works – which, let’s face it, is pretty good in the latest version.

Took a very pleasant stroll down to the harbour this afternoon. I had intended to walk across Fishbourne Meadows and follow the high water path to Dell Quay, but the meadows were more like a swamp, so I walked past Fishbourne Mill, past the millpond and through the reedbeds to the high water path on the western side of Fishbourne Channel. Very pleasant indeed.

Last night, sausages and mash with Lady Bren, Lord Percy, Julie, Paul and birthday boy Michael, followed by strutting of funky stuff at Thursdays, which was particularly awful, even by Thursdays standards, with a pretty appalling music selection – evidenced by the number of people queuing with us for a taxi at 12.30.

Oops. Forgot the kick-off in the FA Cup was early today, so haven’t made the transfer I was going to. Oh well.

Brighton 2 – Rotherham 0. More please.
Slightly alarmed that Seaman has already conceded one goal in the FA Cup match after less than three minutes. Not good for my AFF Cup-winning hopes.
EDIT: and Thierry Henry has missed a penalty! AAAARGH!
FURTHER EDIT: he’s made up for it.
EVEN MORE: and now he’s been substituted.
I’ve come up with a strategy though – I’ll need to make at least one substitution in my team tomorrow morning.

I’m rubbish at this.

Chichester’s Stop The War march seems to have been pretty well supported, perhaps more than most people (myself included) might have expected. I watch it proceed along East Street and past the Cross to the rally on the Cathedral Green. I’m not an expert at counting crowds, but I would say that there was between 750 and 1000 people there. Notable was that although the usual Chichester "cranks" were present, so were an awful lot of ordinary couples, families and pensioners – people of all ages and backgrounds – undoubtedly a good thing.
Quite a few other people gathered around the crowd at the rally, but they seemed to drift away after about fifteen minutes of speeches, probably hastened by a little light drizzle and the thought that the banks were about to close for the day.
The pity is, I really doubt that Chichester’s rally will make much difference to our illustrious leader’s desire to let off the fireworks in the Middle East.
