Matt Richards believes Albion are good enough to be among the promotion contenders and he has not given up hope of them proving it. The on-loan Ipswich left-back's second loan spell of the season is not going as well results wise so far as his first.

The Bairns, last year's album from this young Norhumbrian band, made it onto a lot of lists as one of last year's best releases. They enhanced this reputation by winning the Horizon award (for the most promising act) at the Folk Awards last week. The
No crunching distortion here. No grinding post-anything drums. And yet Noah And The Whale have secured a fanbase both achingly hip and scarily young. It's mysterious, as on paper and, indeed, on record, there's nothing particularly fresh about their
Radiohead famously cut Creep from live sets after deciding they - and the public - were becoming dangerously reliant on it. Simian Mobile Disco feel similarly about We Are Your Friends - the 2006 Justice remix of Never Be Alone, a song written four years
I thought I'd sleep on it before penning my review of Mayday The Musical, the improvised comedy sketch show and musical. My companion thought my first draft (composed during a particularly low point of the show) a little harsh, and reminded me that the
Albion have re-signed Ipswich forward Dean Bowditch on a month's loan and he is expected to go straight into the team against Tranmere at Withdean on Tuesday night. Bowditch, who can play wide or through the middle, had an injury-hit loan stint with

As audience interaction goes, it wasn't hard to feel the rock love at this gig. Polysics singer Hiroyuki Hayashi's expletive-centred declaration of lust for Brighton met noisily emphatic reciprocation, and the riot which might have ensued had the Japanese
Eastbourne Borough chairman Len Smith has urged fans to turn out in force for tomorrow's Sussex derby with Bognor to prove the club has the support to survive at a higher level. Victory over the Rocks would see Borough can close the gap on leaders Lewes

Last night I rang my new GP because my little girl had a temperature. To my amazement, he said he would write out a prescription for antibiotics, and leave it outside the surgery door for me. I was gobsmacked. My previous doctor in London would never
I am a 21-year-old university student but I don't know very much about medical things. I have never risked sleeping with a guy, for the simple reason I'm not sure whether I have a clitoris or not. Anyway, I've never been able to find it. Help, please
My friend has told me the Pill causes cancer. Is this really true? Please bear in mind there are all sorts of different female cancers. The Pill makes two of them slightly more likely: cancer of the cervix and cancer of the breast. On the other hand
I get terrible low backache, mainly because I have to do a lot of lifting in my job. Now I've been told it's all due to a problem with my sacro-iliac. What on earth is that? Although most people haven't heard of it, the sacro-iliac is one of the commonest
I'm 25 and was thinking of getting the jab which protects you against cancer of the cervix. However, my Mum is a research scientist and she says some women have died immediately after being given it. Is this true? In Central Europe recently, two

Separating electro-pop duo Robots In Disguise (RID) from their Mighty Boosh alter-egos can be tricky. With their art-school haircuts, theatrical eyeliner and tongue-incheek lyrics, it is hard to know for sure where disdainful Kraftwerk Orange

I enthusiastically support the campaign to site a fully functional spiegeltent on the land adjacent to the less functional St Peter's Church, but let's not miss the point. The other spiegeltents which have visited the Brighton Fringe Festival
Many congratulations to Sussex Police for their actions on getting drug users and dealers off the streets of Brighton and into treatment (The Argus, February 7). Not only are the health benefits obvious for the individuals concerned but this type
With regard to the article about Oakdene Homes (The Argus, February 5), local opposition to the regeneration of the West and East Quay and Newhaven in general is not well founded. The recent planning meeting was well attended but a strident minority
I have long been convinced that administrative power does eventually corrupt. So Christopher Hawtree's warning signal of what important decisions could now be made in relative privacy - perhaps even secrecy - with the new Cabinet system of Brighton
How many years have the residents of Warmdean Road, Brighton, got to suffer torrents of raw sewage and contaminated water flooding the roads and houses before Southern Water takes responsibility and rectifies the situation? In 2007 Brighton and
Last week Secret Desires sex shop in Worthing was once again refused permission to sell hard-core pornography. Christians rejoiced and shouted out prayers at a packed meeting to decide the issue. They believe such pornography can lead to marriage
You reported we banned Santa from visiting our Christmas grotto in case his red outfit reminded pupils of Coca Cola. In fact, we had no such ban and it was never discussed at school which has no policy on this matter. The fact we have never had Santa
As one who many years ago while suffering from a debilitating and painful illness tried to throw myself off Beachy Head, I can fully understand the pressures Robert and Vanessa Cook were under when Robert helped Vanessa to commit suicide (The
I agree with PT Simpson (The Argus, February 8) that bugging is entirely justified when there is a well-founded suspicion that national security is under threat. While The Freedom Association associates the compulsory imposition of ID cards on
While there is a pagan aspect to the celebrations on St Valentine's Day - it appears to have its origin in the Roman festival of Lupercalia, which was associated with purification and fertility rituals - we now associate the day with the eponymous
Every day, while queuing patiently to join the A23 from the A27 by-pass from the Dyke Road roundabout, a succession of drivers overtake and insist on joining the queue at the very front, becoming abusive in many cases if they are not immediately
I'd been in the country for only three years when I first came to Brighton in 1975. After a few lonely months living in the back streets of Hove, I moved to a house near London Road - and there I settled. The neighbourhood was friendly, shops

Skipper Phil Rhodes insisted Crowborough have bigger prizes to play for after seeing their Wembley dream come to an end. A crowd of 772 saw Crows dumped out of the FA Vase by Kirkham and Wesham at the last-16 stage on Saturday. It was a hugely disappointing
Parents have complained they are being left out of the loop on moves to review school catchment areas. On March 1, families across Britain will find out which secondary school their children have been allocated. The spotlight will be on Brighton
Jake Robinson has admitted it means nothing to be back on the scoresheet for Albion. The centre-forward turned right- winger struck for the first time in seven appearances before two goals in injury-time sentenced the Seagulls to a 2-1 defeat at Cheltenham
Albion are probably still wondering how on earth it happened. How they went from 1-0 up in the second minute of stoppage time to 2-1 down two minutes later. Of course, it is hard to take but they should not feel hard done by. Far from it, because in
Householders say their homes are at risk from plans for business units on a flood plain. Residents of Orchard Road, Spences Lane and The Spinneys in Lewes are objecting to a planning application for seven units and 70 parking spaces on the Malling
