Some news from the weekend, just been reminded by This piece in the Telegraph1, Adam Rickett2 formerly of [artist]Coronation Street and that has his eye on Michael Howard's seat.
A former Coronation Street actor on David Cameron's elite list of would-be MPs is aiming to inherit Michael Howard's safe Conservative seat, it emerged yesterday.
Zac Goldsmith has not ruled it out either - anything that puts Folkestone in the media is alright by me.
This is my site The 'Gerald that I set up in a fury of excitement when I first came to Folkestone in approximately 2004. I had been a frequent visitor for a while before that but I am technically one of those DFLs you get nowadays. This site was updated more frequently with a gig calendar and voting for favourite places + things, + I know it was a useful resource for others who were 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 Folkestone itself is now becoming the exciting place we knew it was just about to. My name is not Gerald by the way, the name comes from the name of a pretend newspaper in an episode of Brasseye or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, + how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are GRATE 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.
