Whats on in Brighton ™

Voodoo Knife Block

On Saturday outside the waterfront Congregational church a protest is planned about the voodoo knife block. This may well be the first time that a religious organisation has gotten themselves involved in kitchen fashions - but a spokesperson for the church told me that “there is no place for the dark arts in knife storage”

The voodoo knife block has been around for a few years but in the last few months has grown in popularity and notoriety since its implication in a voodoo cures murder in Hove. A young girl had fallen out with her boyfriend one evening and the following morning when she was buttering her toast she decided to put a voodoo curse onto him as she replaced the knife into the voodoo knife block. That afternoon the young boy was crushed by a fridge as he walked along marine parade - the object fell from a second floor balcony of an unoccupied building.

The power of voodoo seems to able to be harnessed by the use of the knife block even by a person with very little knowledge of the actual mechanisms of the curse.

Anton Du Beke

What’s on Monday? You know that doddering bloke with the cringing, prefabricated one liners from Strictly Come Dancing? Well he’s coming to Brighton. The dancing man with the large head will be visiting Brighton station to do some PR stuff for Southern Railways.

It’ll be along the lines of a giant conga - feel free to go along and become part of the stunt. You could become an unpaid extra in an advertisement for Southern rail.

Or you could view it as an opportunity to see somebody who is from the telly in the flesh - a story to share with your children and your children’s children.

Heston Blumenthal

This Friday, Heston Bumenthal will be doing a cooking demo on Brighton Pier. In the predictably unpredictable Whacky World of Fat Ducks then nobody knows what he is trying to concoct… but I have been given a tickle by an insider from the inside and my source tells me that it’s going to involve the all of the Brighton classics of Brighton Rock, Jellied eels and focaccia.

And beause just eating the food isn’t enough the helter skelter is somehow involved in the preparation!!!

Beyond that I really can’t tell you anything so you’ll have to go along and see for yourself.

MMmmmmmmmmmmmmm I’m already salivating at the thought…..
