I'm not really up to date with what's going on in Folkestone, though everyone does seem to expect me to know. Guess I set myself up a bit! Just found this on Twitter:

So I'm opening two restaurants next May and they are going to be on the harbour at....FOLKESTONE in Kent. One is a fish and chip shop with rooms which is the old smoke house and one is being built on the harbour as we speak. Need a name for the restaurant so ideas welcome!
This is part of my site The 'Gerald that I set up in a fury of excitement when I first came here in approximately '04. I'd been a frequent visitor for a while before that so I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get nowadays. The site was a lot more dynamic with a gig calendar + voting for best venues + things, + 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 a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as The town is becoming the exciting place we knew it was about to become. I am not Gerald by the way, this comes from a pretend newspaper in an episode of The Day Today 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 anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
