We stayed at the travlodge in Brighton last w/e which was £55 per night. It's a nice walk to the beach, although it might be a bit further out that you'd hoped.

Got yer email and replied, Chew!

― Paranoid Spice (kate), Friday, 21 October 2005 09:26 (twenty years ago)

I'd be up for an early evening pint I think. Maybe it would be appropriate to go to the Battle of Trafalgar and all drink like sailors (arrggghh!)?

― NickB (NickB), Friday, 21 October 2005 09:41 (twenty years ago)

Isn't that now an "evil" Zel pub?

brighton is for people too wussy to go to southend.

Saaathend isn't for people.

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Friday, 21 October 2005 09:53 (twenty years ago)

I think you'll find it's Saaaaaaaafend!

Don't be sad G! *there,there*

Two nights booked! FAP on Saturday can go as late as it wants! In fact, we can take the party back to my hotel.

Also - anyone up for visiting the Brighton Pavillion on Saturday morning?

― Paranoid Spice (kate), Friday, 21 October 2005 10:27 (twenty years ago)

sorry g-kit :-)

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Friday, 21 October 2005 10:36 (twenty years ago)

If you can get hold of a spare council tax bill from someone you can get in to The Pavillion at a much reduced price.

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Friday, 21 October 2005 10:36 (twenty years ago)

Can you lend me one? ;-)

― Paranoid Spice (kate), Friday, 21 October 2005 10:39 (twenty years ago)

Unfortunately, as my girlfriend is a student I'm the only bloke on our Council Tax bill.

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Friday, 21 October 2005 10:43 (twenty years ago)

I mean, I'm a bloke and I'm the only name on the council tax bill.

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Friday, 21 October 2005 12:22 (twenty years ago)

Sigh, and you have quite a male name, it's too bad you're not a Chris or a Pat or something.

― Paranoid Spice (kate), Friday, 21 October 2005 12:23 (twenty years ago)

I'll come on Saturday - Chewshabadoo, I'll see you tonight I hope.

Thank you for your hospitality, Brighton ILX0rs!

How wonderful to see you again, Archel, Matt and Angle - and equally lovely to meet Chew, the lovely Missus Chew and Nick B!

Plus, well... MORRIS DANCE-OFF ON THE SEA-FRONT!!!

― Paranoid Spice (kate), Monday, 24 October 2005 07:22 (twenty years ago)

It was great to see you too, Kate! Come again soon!

Plus... well... er... topless woman rubbing a big lump of offal all over her breasts...

― angle of d... (tingo), Monday, 24 October 2005 11:35 (twenty years ago)

Oh no, I forgot to report back! Lovely to see everyone of course. Think I've had more than my quota of dodgy Irish music for the year though.

Meanwhile, Prescott has finally spoken...

― NickB (NickB), Friday, 28 October 2005 08:39 (twenty years ago)

But could we ever have enough of that banter?

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Friday, 28 October 2005 09:49 (twenty years ago)

Ah, the banter. They were probably just about the only people who could hear themselves talking.

― NickB (NickB), Friday, 28 October 2005 14:15 (twenty years ago)

one year passes...

So, off to London-on-sea tomorrow for a day of shopping and pubs and the pier and wotnot for the first time in ages. Tell me where to go, Brightoners!

All museums, galleries, record shops, second-hand clothing emporia etc much appreciated.

― CharlieNo4, Friday, 23 March 2007 13:36 (nineteen years ago)

Whenever I visit my friends in Brighton the main theme of the weekend ends up being truckloads of drugs. Seriously, the whole city's blooty on a quack candle.

― chap, Friday, 23 March 2007 13:39 (nineteen years ago)

Crumbs! Not exactly what I had in mind, but hey, when in Rome...

― CharlieNo4, Friday, 23 March 2007 13:47 (nineteen years ago)

who actually lives in brighton? archel, right? anyone else? feel free to chip in :-)

― CharlieNo4, Friday, 23 March 2007 14:06 (nineteen years ago)

there are relatively few of us...

what sort of thing you looking for charlie?

― secondhandnews, Friday, 23 March 2007 15:06 (nineteen years ago)

kelv - not a very helpful answer. ;-)

I am Brighton. The answer to your inquiry is The Lanes. wander. There are more second hand clothes emporia per square mile than fucking anywhere. "To be worn again" is recommended though for its bigness and has PennyLane upstairs for guitars and the like.

Backbeat records is good for old stuff. Resident records (kensington gardenns) is not as poncey as it seems from the outside and the staff are as wanky as you need them to be. Rounder Records (brighton square) is not as good as it thinks it is. The dance/urban more vinyl-based record shops are all over the palce and all pretty much as good as each other, which is to say, quite good. although not that i would really know.

Pubs... phew. i've become quite fond of the Prince Albert recently. have been going there on and off for years but only recently have i been a regular frequenter since a pal's been putting on gigs. it's on trafalgar street just under the station entrance. big mural of john peel on the wall.

anything else you'd like to know?

― Uptoeleven, Friday, 23 March 2007 18:55 (nineteen years ago)

oh yeah. if you're clubbing - although i have no idea what you're into - I went to ModForIt on Saturdaya few weeks ago at Pavilion Tavern and that wa sa reet laff. The arc is alright for indie if you can handle it. dance nights are better but a bit spotty and there's nothing regualr so check local listings guides for details.

― Uptoeleven, Friday, 23 March 2007 19:01 (nineteen years ago)

ah, thankyou! perfect answers.

― CharlieNo4, Saturday, 24 March 2007 11:19 (nineteen years ago)

i will be visitin brighton this summer, to play burgess hill in a game of what you chap call base-ball

― Tracer Hand, Saturday, 24 March 2007 12:39 (nineteen years ago)

NY Times discovers a place called Brighton exists

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 26 September 2008 21:25 (seventeen years ago)

But with cosmopolitan London just an hour away

This is London, England, and Brighton, England, right? An hour? Just park my rocket sled on the beach...

― snoball, Friday, 26 September 2008 21:51 (seventeen years ago)

Victoria to Brighton is about an hour on the train, I have to get it every Monday for work.

I was there y'day and today with my brother and some family. BILL'S foodstore was possibly best fryup I've ever had. Also really good Indian the name of which escapes me, v diff type of Indian to the usual...I like Brighton.

― Local Garda, Monday, 15 December 2008 17:39 (seventeen years ago)

Bill's does the best, most healthy looking scrambled eggs. And French toast only bettered in the US. And their fish finger sandwiches are like WOAH. I'm hungry now. For Bill's.

Where was the Indian?

― margaret thatcher sex tape (Upt0eleven), Monday, 15 December 2008 17:43 (seventeen years ago)

I forget what the Indian was called btw, I will ask my brother, I was there a few weeks ago also.

Brighton residents can you recommend a restuarant btw? I am there tomorrow and going out for dinner with my parents.

That line-up really peters out after the first name.

― Dom Cry For Me, Passantino (NickB), Tuesday, 24 March 2009 14:50 (seventeen years ago)

I thought it was a new restaurant...tho maybe I'm wrong. That was what my brother said I think.

― Local Garda, Tuesday, 24 March 2009 14:52 (seventeen years ago)

It's been going for a few years, but it's moved around a bit. Started off in Hove, but they've closed that branch now.

― Dom Cry For Me, Passantino (NickB), Tuesday, 24 March 2009 14:54 (seventeen years ago)

if you can forgo meat the nicest meal i've had in brighton was at the vegetarian restaurant, terre a terre.

riddle and finns also pretty great if you're into your seafood. not as wanky as the website would suggest: http://www.riddleandfinns.co.uk/

I think aldo zilli has also opened a restaurant in the centre of town but i've not yet been so couldn't vouch for it.
