A Bit Like A Duck

FG ≫ 2005 ≫ A Bit Like A Duck

Not read much of folkestonenet.org.uk, didn't think there was a lot to it, and the broken links seem to back this up. However here's an interest essay about the creative quarter1, and regeneration of the town in general.

"Folkestone's Creative Quarter is a bit like the proverbial duck, not much happening on top but frantic activity below the waterline or is that a lame duck with loads of spin and nothing happening at all."

This is my site The FG that I set up in a fury of excitement when we first moved here in approximately 2004. I had been a regular visitor for a while before that but I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get nowadays. This site was updated more frequently with a calendar of events and voting for favourite venues + things, and I know it was a useful reference for others who were thinking of moving here. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only to Hythe) it doesn't get as much love as it used to. Ironic really as The town is becoming the exciting place we always thought it was just about to. My name is not Gerald by the way, this comes from a fake newspaper in an episode of Brasseye or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do get in touch if you have something to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
