Random question - does anyone who used to work in Kings House for BHCC know which departments would have been based in this part of the building?

thanks Adam . . . I've checked dlvr.it. and it's only Bluesky that's having this issue. Will see if I can find out more

could you explain what you mean by that ?

Mum calls. "Mum, there's a fire at a leisure centre, can I call you back in 20 mins?"

Mum: "no, I need to check some bank details with you"

can I also grow my own mozarella?

First year growing tomatoes. Amazed at how great they smell even at this size

oh god, the horror of checking your picture reel and finding loads of selfies from when you were last a bit merry

I think you'd look quite natty in his chosen work uniform of a cream linen suit and striped shirt though.

I used to work next to the naughties equivalent of the person who had this role - Geoff Percival. Are you able to sink six pints at lunchtime and bash out two page leads once back in the office, stinking of cigar smoke?

Tbf, I have days where it feels like all I've achieved is a single social media post ...

About a Boy?

Where exactly is that? I run along Marine Parade and then down to the marina via various paths every week but don't recognise that bit ..

thanks Luke - I know you usually do :)

Honestly think a significant factor in the enshittificaiton of the internet is that it's so much easier to screenshot than copy a link on smartphones - to the extent that lots of people don't even know how to do the latter

please don't screengrab Luke! Link here www.brightonandhovenews.org/2026/01/29/b...

That's definitely the current Newsquest policy isn't it?

Whatever happens, Rachel surely can't make it to the end now though?

What the actual?

Is it?! <runs to end of road>

Ooh I went there last summer - it's fab! Although just as exciting was the road outside being shut so Callum Turner and lots of futuristic dressed extras could film the new Necromancer series

And it's now going up quickly! Visible from quite a distance on Marine Parade. These pics taken yesterday

Madeira terrace work may take longer than hoped Work on the first phase of the Madeira Terrace restoration may not be complete by next summer as hoped. A

All the work was happening in a foundry in Corby www.brightonandhovenews.org/2025/10/02/m...

Well, well, well! Haven't updated this thread in a while as there wasn't much to take pictures of - but that changed in a BIG way today. Squeee!

Lift is now going in, and some cast iron elements are being reattached to the restored back wall

Just got my (private) flu jab from the local pharmacy. They've got someone booked in every 10 minutes until middle of next week. People were coming in and being turned away while I waited.

I really hope the new Hove leisure centre is also called King Alfred, because it makes writing headlines so much more fun

The capacity once it's finished isn't 100% clear, but pushing 2,000, assuming seated. Back in the 60s, there were audiences of 4,000 but don't think we'll see that again

Story of mine from yesterday which is potentially very big news for Brighton - especially its live music scene

TIL that Moulsecoomb's youth club is called the 67 Centre. That must be a nightmare for staff this past year haha

I think my neighbour just knocked on my door and accused me of stealing his recycling bin.

I reminded him it was a little bit windy yesterday. I think we're good.
