As a grisley old Yorkshireman, this is why I love Brighton and Hove

[Dave the OAP]

this afternoon, as normal for a Sunday afternoon, we went for a cup of coffee on Hove seafront cafe, by the King Alfred, and then a walk towards Brighton on the promenade.

there was a large exhibition type thing for the "round the piers paddle".

It was a superb event....there was a load of free bands, free wine tasting, a Brunswick pub beer tent, loads of surfer type people having a great time and a whole load of stands/vendors selling off T shirts etc etc....

It was superb and with the weather it made it really great.

We are so lucky living in this part of the world.

I do miss Brighton alot, but quite happy to be one of those ghastly daytrippers for the time being. Did you manage to find the bikini contest?

My girlfriend from Yorkshire would agree with you!

As a miserable bastard, this is why I HATE Brighton and Hove.
On a whim yesterday afternoon, I decided I wanted a new pair of shorts and a pair of brown leather loafers to offset my canvas slacks for my upcoming holiday. I made the idiotic mistake of attempting to drive to the Churchill Square carpark by driving along the seafront. From Palmeira Square it was rammed. Solid. After 20-odd minutes I'd crawled to just past the Regency carpark, so I did a u-turn, drove home and went down the pub.

Bollocks. Bollocks to it all.

(I got my shorts and loafers today by driving in at around 10am. Straight in, no probs. Far more civilised).

Couldn't agree more Brighton and Hove is a place to live in not to be seen in

I was sat outside the Dorset having a spot of lunch with my niece the other week, when this bell end started shouting into his mobile, (yes, he's a bell end because he was shouting into his mobile). Anyway, everyone got to hear that this loser was a buy to let tosser, & then to prove his bell endishness, he shouted into the mobile, "Do you know Brighton & Hove?"
I mean, who says that? Who actually says, "I come from Brighton & Hove" or, "I think I'll nip into Brighton & Hove for a couple of jars tonight".
It's f***ing Brighton, or it's Hove, one or the f***ing other!

As a matter of interest, what does "grisley" mean? Is that "grizzly" as in always moaning, "grisly" as in shockingly repellent or "gristly" as in free of fat? I'm not sure any of them apply to you, Dave.

Brighton WAS at its best this weekend though - we took the kids rockpooling at Rottingdean and they had a great time, hunting for crabs in between games of beach cricket.
