... in or around Brighton? I know CDs are "old hat" nowadays but I've some limited edition cds with a few marks, light scratches (still play perfectly. There's loads of music you still can't stream on spotify, tidal etc. Cex used to clean discs for £3 but they stopped I believe. Anybody know...

The Palin in Lewes used to have this on the menu and my old man bloody loved it. They haven't done it for years unfortunately, the original chef retired, and I can't seem to find it on any Thai menu when we've been out. Google has not been my friend either. The old boy is in his mid 80s now...

.... and prefer another in their catalogue. For me, Ok Computer by Radiohead. Had it for years, saw Radiohead '96? @Wertcher (with Bowie, Neil Young, Foos and Pulp, my that was fun) and with Beck in Oxford and then Glastonbury. Bought Ok Computer on cssette tape in Bangkok on release date...

I've lived in Brighton for 25 years now, firstly owned a one bed flat in 7 Dials (well before it was poshed up a bit) and now a 2 bed between Preston Park and Dyke Road. I appreciate the Marina is an ugly development and has dull restaurants but I've always fancied living there. I don't drive...

All a bit short notice. As per title, need to buy an adult's birthday cake tomorrow or Sat. No theme but just needs to be decent enough. Someone recommended Bravo Patisserie, then someone else said they were rubbish, same for the Hellenic bakery at 7 dials (conflcting reports). Do M&S or...

I'm a dog lover. Never had my own but I support someone with mobility problems to keep their dog (a cockapoo) exercised. There have been rather a lot of dog-killing-humans attacks recently in the news. Are too many fecking idiots allowed to keep dogs? (I don't blame the dogs just really...

So, here I am again with another help request for a friend of a friend. My friend has been in and out of mental health institutions all her life. She's found out that someone she befriended over the years in the Worthing area from being in hospital has just died. No family she knows of have...

A friend of a friend is living in a one bed flat in Brighton with awful sound proofing and awful neighbours (the loud at all times of night type with constant people in and out, drug dealing, people shouting up at them from the street, feeling intimidated etc). They have some other big issues...

These are email tickets which can be easily forwarded. Bought in error on a promo, both tickets only paid £6.50 bf each. Details and face value are on the Brighton Dome website. Daniel Howell, Brighton Dome, Wed 21 Sept. https://brightondome.org/event/29774/daniel_howell_we_are_all_doomed/...

Life is very grey and it's hard to be absolutely black and white about things. I mean we're all hyprocrites half the ****ing time, regardless of what we pretend. It's human nature. As I have got older I only really have two lines I don't cross. Most other things may be up for debate...

FFS Co-op. Just got in, bought a reduced pizza on the way home from a shift. Opened it to find this little weevil-y thing mooching around. Definitely fell out of the sealed plastic pizza packet into the cardboard when I opened it. It's a veggie pizza, yeah it was reduced, but sod it I'm...

Ronin has De Niro on form and perhaps the best car chases of any movie in history ever (and I mean proper believable stunt driving, none of this CGI make believe. You can see utter terror in De Niro's eyes at one point when he's sat next to the stunt driver while he pretends to drive) ......yet...

Long shot but any suggestions would be helpful. My old dad of 84 is waiting for triple heart surgery due to a worn out valve. The longer he has to wait the higher the chance of, well, mortality of course. Partly due to covid and partly due to their normal dentist retiring he lapsed a bit...

- A war on (the supply) of drugs is simply unwinnable, as the decades have shown - Prohibition isn't working either - I lean towards legalisation but this isn't really an answer either? - Rehab for addicts seems successful only for a minority (mental health and self medication through drugs...

If I go for coffee with an unvaccinated person am I putting my elderly parents at risk when I see them next? I can't really find clear info. I am fully vaccinated and not concerned for myself. I thought the unvaccinated friend of a friend was just putting themselves at risk? But a couple of...

I appreciate I'll probably get a load of witty replies and /or piss takes but I really do need some help on this. I try not to "sweat the small stuff" but it's really getting me down, in all honesty. I'm already trying to get over some depression and get back into work ( I used to do good...

I can't stand most "music played at Christmas" probably due to getting older and it being all too over familiar. While not a religious man in any way, today, I realised I am fond of a bit of Gospel music at this religious time of year. Not sure why but maybe because I can't really abide Xmas...

I was on a long, wintery walk listening to some tunes when I realised there is only ONE song in my life, so far, that I can still remember the exact first time I heard it. I was amazed that there is only one. The first time I heard it was on Steve Lamacq's Single of the Week show in 1991 and...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-5889624 Jagger in 1995 said "God knows what I'm on about on that song. It's such a mishmash". Hmm seems it's pretty obvious what the song, like most rock n roll songs, is about! "Gold Coast slave ship bound for cotton fields Sold in the market...
