TRAPPED!

I had a JOYOUS afternoon yesterday... I was working from home, nipped out for some lunch, got into our communal hallway and realised I'd left my keys in the flat - both doors were locked needing a key to get out, so I was shut in the hallway until ou...

Up early to get those AC/DC tickets

C'mon...Good weekend though, started slightly fuzzy with booze, then met the parents for a curry at the Punjab in Covent Garden, then saw David Blaine in his box, he really does seem to be there, I don't get what the trick is still. Is David Blaine c...

Curry and Mouse Poo

TOP curry yesterday, went to Tayyab near Whitechapel, very good, queued right out the door, which makes a change from all the hustling you get on Brick Lane... had a few pints before in The Ten Bells, also well recommended.Note to self: Never, ever g...

Tayyab

Apparently authentic Pakistani food, absolutely bloody fantastic curry anyway, and well worth the enormous queue we had to get in on Saturday night. It's small, and it's got no booze license, and it was a bun-fight to get a table (much queue jumping)...

Half price curry

A recommendation for curry in Folkestone, get along to the New Delhi on the first Sunday of the month. We did this week, everything was half price, and their prices are reasonable to start with.They seem to specialise in the hotter end of the curry s...

Bad Curry

Went to Eastern Nights on Saturday evening, at the top of the Old High Street for a curry, as it had been recommended. Normally in Folkestone we'd go to The New Delhi, and it's always good, but OH NO, I had to speak up and insist we try something new...

Adam Curry saviour of the universe!!!

Hmm, I know who wrote this story. I have stopped listening to all the podcasts I used to subscribe to. Even the Engadget show has lost it's appeal, now it's changed. Interesting to see Adam Curry and Dave Winer disagreeing in that piece, I thought th...

In defence of

Hmmm... maybe you got them on a bad night. It can be quiet, and that combined with the fact that the chef likes high romantic classical music playing in his kitchen can make it a slightly surreal experience for those used to Ravi Shankar and loud con...

How to Make a Simple Curry

Interesting authentic but simple curry recipe...

podcast podcast podcast

Seems Adam Curry's lot now are broadcasting people's podcasts on satellite radio, is this new information? blog.podbat.com will have the answers...Not to be confused with podshows.com of course, which is just about paying to download a show, I don't ...

Curry!

I done some good cooking yesterday, a curry from all fresh spices and things, it's: the curry recipe I linked to here a while ago and it was really really good. We used various mixed veg, potato, peas, mushrooms and things. ACE! We doubled up, thinki...

These guys rave about The India

Not sure I trust these guys, they do make it sound good, but we did not have a good meal there and I don't have faith in the place.It's had no positive votes from visitors to this site, anyone visited recently?...

Fareham makes the national news again

From the Daily Mirror:BAY City Rollers star Les McKeown was booed and heckled by angry fans during a comeback concert.They claim the 50-year-old singer, recently cleared of drug charges, stumbled on stage 90 minutes late and forgot song lyrics.Fans d...

Nick "Iceman" Curry

Spooky, I just bumped into him.

He says hello.

Nigel and Jason from Unbelievable Truth

They were eating a curry before their last ever gig.POP FACT: The same curry house is Colin from Radiohead's favourite curry house, as said by Colin to Mark Linkos of Sparklehorse a few months before, when he took him there before a Sparklehorse gig ...

No, not grey squirrel curry!

Bad ITV, squirrels are friends, not food! Lord Inglewood, patron of North West Red Alert tries some the shock tactic of suggesting celebrities feed our furry friends to small children:What about celebrity chefs like Jamie Oliver promoting it for scho...

Six Feet Under

Searching for Folkestone news I found this story about a guy who got drunk and woke up in Africa, a bit sensationalised, it was Tunisia rather than the wilds somewhere, but it looks like he might have been from Folkestone. Anyway, point is, that's no...

Spamalot

Spamalot was quite good, not brilliant, best bit for me was seeing Tim Curry in the lead role. It's all the same story / jokes as the film.Went to The Three Greyhounds before the show, very good, small but nice old pub style pub. Four real ales on an...

Tim Curry

Bit of a cheat, at the stage door of the Palace Theatre. And on stage, obviously.

Splendid weekended

Great weekend, went to visit the folks and we got down in plenty of time to go to Portsmouth Dockyard and see the Mary Rose and the Victory. The Mary Rose was more interesting than I thought, it's not just a big lump of driftwood, but the Victory was...

Particularly fulsome weekend, with curries.

Splendid weekend, a bit different this time, starting off with a half day on Friday. I headed to Winchester to meet up with some friends, and really needed the extra time to make the most of the night. Clare stayed home watching Children in Need afte...

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...

Lost: bit annoying

Watched the new episode, hope you enjoy it if you watch it tonight. I'm convinced the story's still being made up as it goes along, and that there won't be any actual answers by the end of the show. Some new ideas introduced, I'll probably stick with...

Weekend! Curry! Spazzy twitches! Everything!

Great weekend, bailed out of work slightly early and got the train to Mum and Dad's, for a nice long relaxing weekend. As previously mentioned, Clare was in London drinking and dancing with her friends, and definitely not lighting fires, and I was he...

Terry Pratchett's Colour Of Magic coming to Sky One

Only just seen a trailer for it, guessing it has not been on yet. Their Hogfather was OK despite not liking the story so I'm sure this will be goood. Interesting to see the same actors playing different characters (though in the same universe), David...

Hectic day at work today

I think it's all going well though. Still playing with Google Chrome, not sure I will choose it over Firefox though, where is the "home" button? Also I like all the plugins in Firefox, how long before Google Chrome introduces something like that? The...

Lazy day today

Going to the library this morning, then - gasp - not lunching in Canterbury, and staying locally this afternoon too. We were meant to have visitors today but we unfortunately had to put them off... there is a strange sort of calm in the air, like som...

Gurkha palace RULES

Glad we went there last night, very nice meal indeed. Can't believe in all the time we've lived here I've not been before, as it's so close. It's Nepalese, but will all the Gurkha news recently you probably knew that was where the Gurkhas come from. ...

Emergency trip to hospital!

No, not us, of course, still no sign of the baby yet, but poor bro-in-law. Accident at work and has lost the tip of his finger, blee! Sister is threatening to show me video footage of the finger, after it was squished like a tomato but before the hos...
