Brighton’s trendy North Laines

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Excellent quote:

“I like a possession game but a possession game with the purpose to score a goal. Keeping the ball is easy when you do it in your own half but we will try to be a little more direct. Transitions are very important nowadays and we have been working on quick transitions from defensive to offensive. From what I saw from last year, that did not happen a lot. It was keep ball and we didn’t even try to go forward. Now hopefully it will be different.”

Who gives a flying toss? jeez if people get worked up over Laine/Laines I suggest the get out more and whilst they are out get a life too!

 

[beorhthelm]

Here it is, in the North Laines

and that sort of erroneous sign writing is precisely why we should correct it at every opportunity, to preserve the correct name.

I'm still giggling at the idea of 'a group of the town's sports reporters'.

Sports reporting is obviously one of Brighton's industries.

Do you realise that it is because people have a life, that they know the difference?

I've only read two of the articles but I'm guessing the third mentions Hyypia's jawline as well

I assume someone will be taking Tipp-Ex on Saturday

Bit of Tipp-ex should do the trick, if such a product exists in this century

Ah, 'trendy' means 'unnecessarily expensive'?

So getting on the bus in Brighton is trendy?

Quite often, yes.

Not sure you can say the same for a bus, £2 will get you from The Level to Palmera Square which is about a quarter of the equivalent cab fare, or is The Large One so large you get charged for two seats ?

To be fair, it's been there since March so I guess nobody really cares.

at all!

I love what he is saying. I was in despair at our sideways, backwards short passing last year. Although there are one or two on here who think it's really great to watch the team string 30 passes together...it's crap if you end up nearer your own goal at the end of it.

Bring it on Sami...

Paid a fecking fiver for two singles from the open market to Woodingdean, so yes very expensive. a cab wouldn't have been much more.

 

[The Large One]

Paid a fecking fiver for two singles from the open market to Woodingdean, so yes very expensive. a cab wouldn't have been much more.

Calculating it - the cheapest rate taxi fare from Open Market to Downs Hotel is £8.60 (without a tip).

You'd be surprised.

And while people are picking people up about Laine(s), I'm disappointed that nobody has gone ballistic over the erroneous use of "town" rather than "city".

 

[Javeaseagull]

Andy, the map was c.1740 and therefore correct.

I like that,...... makes sense.

Everyone's a journo these days - and they all live around and use the North Laine area - on Saturdays you can't move round there with out bumping in to one, pen and iPhone in one hand, falafel wrap and erotic toy in the other. Some of the top boys even wear those vegetarian sandals and sport beards whilst drinking in the Nelson.

Really ? My new job is with a company based in North Laine and one of the directors is a die hard fan and has pledged to get a company box when we make it to the Prem.

As an aside good news re the job

I can't afford buses so I slum it in a taxi.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I did only say trendy eateries to be fair not trendy shops. There are at least four DM companies in the old Argus buildings and I know of at least three others in the North Laine area.

I use that co-working place in North Laines when I'm in town, The Skiff. Think there's a few in there as well.
