Where exactly is that? I run along Marine Parade and then down to the marina via various paths every week but don't recognise that bit ..

Honestly think a significant factor in the enshittificaiton of the internet is that it's so much easier to screenshot than copy a link on smartphones - to the extent that lots of people don't even know how to do the latter

Ooh I went there last summer - it's fab! Although just as exciting was the road outside being shut so Callum Turner and lots of futuristic dressed extras could film the new Necromancer series

Well, well, well! Haven't updated this thread in a while as there wasn't much to take pictures of - but that changed in a BIG way today. Squeee!

Lift is now going in, and some cast iron elements are being reattached to the restored back wall

Just got my (private) flu jab from the local pharmacy. They've got someone booked in every 10 minutes until middle of next week. People were coming in and being turned away while I waited.

I really hope the new Hove leisure centre is also called King Alfred, because it makes writing headlines so much more fun

The capacity once it's finished isn't 100% clear, but pushing 2,000, assuming seated. Back in the 60s, there were audiences of 4,000 but don't think we'll see that again

TIL that Moulsecoomb's youth club is called the 67 Centre. That must be a nightmare for staff this past year haha

I think my neighbour just knocked on my door and accused me of stealing his recycling bin.

I reminded him it was a little bit windy yesterday. I think we're good.

@kirkkorner Hi Tristan, can I pick your brains? I'm CVPing into Westminster Mags, they've let me in, but there's no sound or video (video was on, but then got turned off). Is this normal? Not how it's done in Sussex, and I'm nervous I'll miss the case I'm covering

It's a bit distressing, but worth watching this clip for the sterling work from the lady with the walking stick

I now block spam PR at the first offence, stops the increasingly needy follow-ups

(For us, it's mainly bullshit surveys - Brighton is the sixth most unfaithful city, based on Instagram searches for dirty weekends etc etc)
