I'm sure I heard he's a bottlenose dolphin, now you and he are such close chums you should probably get the t-shirt1... I swam with dolphins in Florida, at a conservation centre, they told us there not to approach them in the wild, but this one does seem friendly. I don't think they're common enough over here for their to be clubs organising swims with them. Head to Florida!
This is part of my site The FG that I set up in a fury of excitement when we first moved here in approximately '04. I'd been a frequent visitor for a while previous to that so I am technically one of those DFLs you get nowadays. The site was updated more frequently with a calendar of events + voting for favourite places + things, and I hear it was a handy resource for those who were thinking of moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though just to Hythe) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as The town is now becoming the exciting place we always thought it was just about to. My name is not Gerald by the way, the name comes from a pretend 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 GRATE aren't they? Do contact me if you have something to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
