I've got one of these, that's not it though, hope it goes for a good price. If you want to buy mine, maybe with the tickets I have for Folkestone, get in touch. We're going to end up going at this rate :-(Last chance for tickets (other people's ticke...

This is about how good I am on the guitar now

I can't decide if this is brilliant, or if he's doing all the complex stuff with his vocals. Entertaining anyway, if a bit long. Enough about the song, this performance is good too:(Hmm not sure I can embed, here it is).I first saw him doing Teardrop...

the most glorious holiday destination in all England

Man alive we've had a lot of press over the past couple of days (we as in Folkestone, rather than me personally), it's been great. The weekend of Triennial events itself was good and there was a real buzz about the town. I'm not entirely sure that it...

Speaking of journeys through time and space...

The Mighty Boosh festival lineup is out, as seen on posters at Folkestone station, though I'm sure I could have been quicker off the mark than that. It's a bit ropey actually. The 'Boosh themselves headline I think, with The Charlatans, Gary Numan, W...

House hunt

Two houses today in Canterbury, different parts of town, but with things in common. For starters, both too expensive really at 250k each. If the market really is tumbling we might be able to make a cheeky offer on just about anything we see now thoug...

Great sounding gig coming up in Folkestone

York (being the fourth part of my holiday)

York is great, a lot like Canterbury, but seemingly with more pubs. Our hotel was the birth place of Guy Fawkes, and had sloping floors and four poster beds, proper historic. It practically butts up to the cathedral, not sure you can tell from my pho...

Boom shake the room!

Well I suspect you've all been frantically refreshing wondering when I'd report from this morning's earthquake! Amazingly it was three and a half hours ago now, the power was off until just recently so there wasn't a lot I could do, no internets, and...

Happy Friday 13th

RE: Impressions of Tontine Street, a first visit to a new bar

I visited this 'hidden jewel'. Why is it so quiet? The food was excellent, service great and the staff welcoming and friendly. Maybe Folkestone or Tontine St is not ready for this yet. Use it or lose it i say. What an excellent venue for the World...

Portentous

Strange air about the world today - it's a fabulous day here in London, but the light and atmosphere feel a bit WEIRD. Could be that I've headed into town half an hour later than normal, or an actual armageddon could be on the way. Came into Cannon S...

No more videos for a while

Ace weekend, shame the weather was so poor, as it was again this morning. The family came, and it was very nice, though mostly I made them stay in the flat and work. We did go out for a mighty dinner at The Jackdaw, none of the adults managed to clea...

Still no Cure tickets

More went on sale just now for the Teenage Cancer Trust gig at the Albert Hall, but they must have sold out by the presale link yesterday. Looks like ebay is your best bet then.Today I'm mostly working on adding some social networking type stuff to p...

The Ship

Had a dreadful dinner at a pub on the way to Dungeness, The Ship in Romney Marsh. It wasn't meant to be a high-falutin' fancy gourmet extravaganza, but it was meant to fill a gap, and it failed in this meagre task.Maybe they were busy, so we could le...
