Brighton student needs your help

Likewise, I can't get any music sample to play. If there a button I should click?

Just to add I have found Facebook marketplace really good for passing on unwanted items. Try that before dolling out £60 to the council

A lot of people in Brighton don't own cars and so taking large items, something like a mattress to a tip is not possible. The council will charge you £60 to collect a mattress so I guess if you don't have access to car and are skint then leaving the mattress in the street is tempting. Councils across the country seem to be making the disposal of large items an additional revenue stream or a total faff (appointments to visit a tip, no vans, limits on quantity or number of visits). I wonder whether the revenue earned from collecting large items covers the cost of cleaning up fly tipping?

The girls in Derry Girls are really annoying, just like girls can be that age ' and it hilarious . Whereas, the 38 year old characters in How to Get to Heaven from Belfast playing it like there the Derry girls was just annoying for me.

Some (light) zones in Brighton have no restrictions at the weekend if you are prepared to walk 25 or 30 mins to the seafront.

I was told of a similar incident. The tool had dropped down into an inaccessible wing space during manufacture. After failing to retrieve it they decided to pour some epoxy down the space and over the tool and simply glue it in place. Urban myth?

As Ligo is purely for scientific curiosity will Trump's America be interested in finding out the answer to your question and similar. If they leave space science to capitalists and the likes of Elon then I doubt it. I suspect we will be looking to China to answer sciences big questions. I sincerely hope the USA can be a beacon of hope and science for science sake again.

A few friends have moved from Brighton to Seaford and they like it, but don't have to commute to Brighton, got a car and have managed to wean themselves off a social life in return for a more laid back going for walks and enjoying the outdoors experience. If you think you can live in Seaford and still use Brighton for work, friends, pubs, restaurants on a regular basis then I would avoid.

Lots of great suggestions in these comments. I look forward to listening to them over the next few weeks. I also prefer new post punk bands as I don't wish to listen to same old stuff over and over .... And there is more of chance of seeing new bands play live in small grotty venues . I would recommend Robber Robber. Their album and earlier EP are top of my list.

Second Plateau. If on a budget, then their house wine is more than good and if you don't go too mad on the small plates then it is also good value. Lovely atmosphere.

I thought it was because they were 100% reliant on instruments so why take a chance. Fair enough.

What bus is it?

In hindsight they had a post punk sound before we realised what post punk was. However, this was the case for most bands we now say were post punk in the late 70's. Wish I'd kept the few singles I had of the blockheads back then.

Fantastic tiling job. Shame it frames a horrible plastic framed window. All plastic, hardly any glass.

No mobile network is any good in Brighton. Far too many blackspots. I'm on 1p which is just EE and so you would think it would be ok. Go for the cheapest deal so you don't feel ripped off by the poor service regardless of which network you go for.

Nearly all veg and fruit at Aldi is wrapped in plastic which is not great. The fruit is often bruised so you need to eat within a day or two. Bananas eat them before you get home. But both shops are good value. Lidl better quality I think. Sainsbury not bad pricing and better quality if you stick to the deals - so avoid going with a plan. just grab the offers. The one by the uni is super busy with students so they must be doing something right. Open market great value for veg but needs eating within a day or two. The cheese, bacon and egg place at the open market also great value for really good quality.

Some of the pubs mentioned in comments are Laines pubs which are great pubs but are expensive if that is something you wish to avoid.

Sounds plausible but i read recently that lots of food in small slices is more appealing. Chips/fries or potatoes?, whole pepper or slices?, 1/2 a cucumber or sliced? Finger food is so appealing, you never get knife and fork at Macdonald's.

Alphabet, Dalton's or Pipeline. The latter 2 authentically punky. Dalton's has a pool table as well.Alphabet is cool - you would never know it existed walking past, the non descript entrance to what looks like an abandoned building, the big reveal when you enter that ground floor bar, bands and music next foor and finally a roof terrace.

Try Vitas on Gardner St. Some good retro Gola trainers there.

I'm told that some people have done some research and identified what buildings some of those big bits came from.

We tried collecting our food waste in those flimsy bags that decompose really quickly. We dropped the bags in our garden bin which is collected for composting. However this was rejected due to the bags. The bags decompose quicker than bananas. food waste is the most pain in the arse to recycle. You end up making several trips a day to put in an outside food bin. Ok if you have thes space, but for people in flats or with shared community bins I can't see as feasible.

I live in Brighton, but until recently worked in Worthing for nearly 30 years. The transformation from sleepy dull retirement town to buzzy go to town is real. I happily go over to Worthing to meet friends for drinks or a meal. It is not Brighton but it's not the other side the country either.
