Ask Paul Barber

[Barrel of Fun]

Mr Barber. Why do you not see fit to offer student rates? We haven't filled the ground yet, have we?

Ms Lucas. Where is our Park and Ride system suitable for a city with such an influx of people and traffIc to our faIr shores?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

See post 36.

I presume he has then? I'll just press for the coat rail and hat stand then.

[Mackenzie]

To PB: Just how clever are you? For instance, do you read a book a week?

To CL: What are you going to do when you lose your job in the next election? Join the WI?

If you would be happy to give me a transcript of his answer, I shall forgive your faux-pas.

 

[SeagullSongs]

To PB: How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

To CL: If two witches had two watches, which witch would watch which watch?

 

[Butch Willykins]

PB, What goes through your head when you see a person wearing 'Crocs' ?

Paul Barber is opening Blind Veterans UK's Vintage Carnival next Saturday for those who may want to try and ask him a few questions in person.

Oh and Gullys Girls are going to be there for those who want to perv over them

 

[upthealbion1970]

To PB - is there any truth in the rumour (that I just made up in my head) that Tony B rides around the pitch on a diamond studded leopard every Sunday wearing a mankini?

 

[Gary Leeds]

for CL

How come travellers can park their caravans, trucks and cars on parks and gardens in Brighton and Hove and nothing is done to fine, prosecute or confiscate the untaxed and uninsured vehicles of the offenders or make them pay towards the clean up and repairs to the damage they cause, yet rate paying citizens of Brighton and Hove park 5 inches over a parking bay and their car is towed away with a £140 fine? Is this not a case of double or even treble (if they have paid for a parking permit) taxation on the citizens of your constituency?

If all the world were paper,
and all the seas were ink,
if all the trees were bread and cheese,
what would there be to drink, how much would you think a fair price would be per pint, and would you employ Azure to take charge of delivering the product?

Interesting that you both ask questions of your MP (assuming she is your MP), when they should be addressed to your local councillor.

Though in the case of the second 'question', some semblance of reality might help.

To Paul: have ever noticed how ironic it is that your surnames barber yet you have no hair?

That one genuinely made me laugh out loud.

Q for PB

When the stadium is empty do you ever smear your privates in marmite and run naked around the pitch signing along to Shaggy's 1993 smash Oh Carolina?

 

[The Large One]

Just for you, BoF.

I've edited the waffle (mine and his).

AR: Where the seats haven’t sold out, is there a deal that can be struck with the University of Sussex or University of Brighton Student Union...?

PB: Let’s take a step back, first of all - we’ve just had one of the largest crowd Brighton has had (the Cardiff game) for decades. Secondly this a funny time of year, people have taken their holidays late because of the Olympics, football clubs traditionally have empty seats in August because people are away, STH are not here,...

We’re going to constantly be looking at ways of getting the stadium as full as it can be. Ticket exchange is one of those ways; publishing dates well in advance, looking at mini-packs where people who can’t afford STs, can perhaps buy tickets for three of four games...

I’m always loathe to get into debates about discounted tickets as we’ve got to be respectful of those people that have bought STs and paid a good price for those. We’ve also got to be respectful of those who have paid a full matchday price, but we’ll always look at ways of trying to introduce new fans...

She is. She seems to be far more approachable than the other Greens and presumably is in the position to raise the city P&R issue.

Cheers. As expected. Skirted the issue.

Hardly.

He said 'no'.

Where did he say no? He said they were constantly looking at ways to 'getting the stadium as full as can be'.

He is neglecting to take in to account that there are many students whom support BHAFC, perhaps a fair few who arew unable to afford or put off attending due to high prices.
