A woman has risked it all to bring a production from New York City to the Brighton Fringe. Fiona Fletcher quit her job, remortgaged her flat and took out a personal loan to put on Le Scandal - a burlesque extravaganza - at the Udderbelly in the Old Steine
Frontline hospital workers are being hit with massive hikes in parking costs to get to work. Hospitals earning more than three times as much from letting their nurses and doctors park on site last year as they did a year earlier. Sick patients and visitors
Four teams opened the new-look Invitation League season with victories. Favourites Broadwater were convincing 59 run winners at home to Southwick after posting 213-4 declared. Openers Bob Reynolds (75) and Mark Sinsbury (47) put on 105 for the first
Thoughts of Flamenco evoke women in exotic, flamboyant dresses, lost in passion and pain while dancing as if their lives depended on it. Disappointingly, dancer Ana Martrat couldn't have been further from this vision. Dressed in plain black trousers
Middleton are the early pacesetters in the newly-formed Sussex LeaguenDivision Three (West) after a surprise win over Findon. It was revenge of sorts for Middleton, who were pipped to the Invitation League title by Findon last season. Seamer Brandon
Albion Reserves beat Crawley 1-0 to win the Sussex Senior Cup today . Scott Chamberlain scored the only goal in the 44th minute with a 25-yard cracker at Eastbourne Borough's Priory Lane ground. Full report to follow
In an era when we fear terrorists striking at random, could we balance the fear with love by randomly hugging a stranger? This slightly flimsy idea was a throw-away thought from a London radio DJ in a phone-in four years ago. But it struck a chord with
It all started with a simple telephone call to The Argus but the story of a builder taking back his porch and conservatory has gripped the world. Nigel Gray was left £15,000 out of pocket by Anita Dovey after she failed to pay him the money she owed
Sussex will host a four-day game against the touring Australians next year. The match will take place at Hove from June 24-27.
Cameron Woodward, left, has declared himself fit for Eastbourne action, despite a nasty-looking crash on his German debut. The Eagles star took a blow to his left hand racing for hosts Pfaffenhofen in a four-way Bundesliga meeting on Sunday. He is available
Hundreds of hours of firefighters' time and thousands of pounds of tax-payers money have been wasted by hoaxes and false alarms at schools. Figures released under the freedom of information act show more than £80,000 has been spent since September 2006
Do the town councillors of Telscombe really understand what they are doing? At the annual town meeting in Telscombe on Tuesday, I asked a question as to why the present council supported the proposed incinerator at Newhaven. I was expecting a
Yes, Alan Nunn, we do need another bank holiday for England (Letters, May 1). However, let's balance the summer up. July would be a much better time. We have one a month, almost, throughout the summer. The last weekend in May counts for June, then
I was left thoroughly bewildered by the logic of The Argus comment on the implications of MS sufferer Pauline Johnson's fight for free cannabis on the NHS (The Argus, April 30). Ms Johnson showed marked improvements in mobility and less pain
In the article on revamping London Road in Brighton (The Argus, April 25), readers may have believed that "resolving the area's traffic problems" meant eliminating the area's congestion problems. In reality, the opposite is true. While removing
Councillor Ben Duncan would do well to stop misleading the residents of Brighton and Hove over the introduction of the new leader and cabinet system at Brighton and Hove City Council (Letters, April 30). As he well knows, this decision was foisted
There's no denying that CDs are one of the great inventions of the 20th century. They have crystal clear sound, durability, and you can rip the tracks to an MP3 player and take them wherever you like. But I also love hunting out classics on vinyl
"England is a beautiful country with a glorious past and a bright future," writes Michelle-Louise Lewis (Letters, May 1). England is certainly a beautiful country but its past is not entirely glorious. Religious wars, plundering other nations'
I was pleased to see Caroline Lucas MEP writing about the need to reduce air travel (The Argus, April 25). I was, however, disappointed that she gave no concrete policies about what to do. I hope her party, the Greens, don't go down the road of
With cyclists being fined for cycling on sidewalks, will pedestrians be fined for walking on cycling paths, especially between the piers in Brighton? Most cyclists travel between 5 and 10mph. Having to swerve to avoid pedestrians at those speeds
With regard to Zoe Polydorou's suggestion of having signs on the beach to remind people not to drop litter (Letters, May 2), obviously seeing litter on our beautiful beach is a horrible sight but having signs in the middle of the view? Blocking
I wonder if anyone can help solve a mystery for me. I am interested to find out the date of a murder that occurred in Brighton. The location was Castle Street and it occurred possibly sometime in the late 1920s or 1930s. The famous pathologist,
I recently found a butterfly brooch on a train. If you have lost one please phone 01273 700082 with a description and I will gladly return it. Milla Hills, Norway Street, Brighton

If the present fuel cost makes a few people think before taking their cars on the road, such as mothers on the school run, I will not complain about it. Let all of us think twice before adding to the congestion of our overcrowded roads. Sylvia
It is always nice to get a thank-you and I'm glad David Pritchard appreciates the fact Brighton and Hove City Council is painting the seafront railings (Letters, April 29). The appearance of the city is a priority for me and a lick of paint can
A mammoth road trip is underway to raise money for charity. Sixteen people in eight cars are en route from Sussex to Germany in aid of St Barnabas House Hospice in Worthing and the Chestnut Tree Children's Hospice near Arundel. Each clapped-out car
No surprise that an enthusiastic review from Peep Show's David Mitchell proudly adorns posters for this show. The sitcom was clearly a defining influence. Michael is a morose slacker obsessed by pop culture and unable, or unwilling, to find a job
There was a good-sized crowd at Hove on Sunday for the game against Kent. And although no batsman except Yardy really managed to push on to a big score, I thought 245 might just be enough - not that the pitch seemed to have much life in it, but I thought
So after a refreshing night of no booze and early to bed (despite being woken up by 15-year-old boys drinking Fosters) I started the day with fresh eyes. Early-ish meeting with Chris from ThreeWeeks - talking reviewers, reviews and shows. They are having
I went to see Ballet Marseille last night, it was absolutely stunning to watch, an extremely hard working company of dancers, the sets, costumes and lighting were all equally amazing. Over the weekend I was at the Children’s Parade giving out stickers
From silent contemplation and one meal a day, to the glitter and glam of a life in cabaret - one Thai dancer has certainly experienced a big change in the last few months. Charin Sangthon, known as TK, is a male dancer in the Ladyboys of Bangkok
Borough 3 Braintree 0. Manager Garry Wilson is confident Eastbourne Borough will not let their second promotion play-off chance slip away. Borough secured their place in Thursday's Blue Square south final at Ebbsfleet with a convincing 5-0 aggregate
Sussex are signing West Indies fast bowler Corey Collymore. The 30-year-old from Barbados is expected to arrive tomorrow after receiving a work permit at the weekend and could make his debut in Thursday's FP Trophy game against Surrey. Collymore has
Chris Adams says the arrival of Corey Collymore could not have been better timed. Collymore should make his Championship debut against Somerset at Taunton next week and will bring some much-needed firepower to Sussex's struggling seam attack. Robin
Luke Wright and Mike Yardy showed England class but it was not enough to get Sussex their first win of the season at Hove yesterday. Both played key all-round roles in a thrilling Friends Provident Trophy encounter but all-rounder Justin Kemp saw Kent
Joel Lynch is targeting a top six finish for Albion next season. The young centre-half believes the seventh-placed Seagulls can go one better and make the playoffs after ending an encouraging campaign with a 1-0 home defeat by champions Swansea. Lynch
Albion 0 Swansea 1. If I was Dean Wilkins I would put wingers at the top of my summer shopping list. Albion need a permanent left-back, a central midfielder and a back-up striker but the glaring gap in the squad which finished a place outside the play-offs
At 92 most people would be starting to take life easy and putting their feet up. But not Eve Mobbs who has just become a world record holder by walking her own feet 60ft down the outside of a car park. Eve, of Aldwick Felds, Aldwick, near Bognor, beat
CRAWLEY manager Steve Evans wants to form a winning relationship with Albion. The Reds boss will lead his side out in the Sussex Senior Cup final against the Seagulls' reserves at Priory Lane today (3pm). Crawley have not had many links with their League
