We have a bundle of Windebanks

Here's one John Windebank, maneuver your way around the family tree from there! Can you really trace them back that far? Would be very interested if there was some connection in to ours. My great great great grandfather had a daughter Caroline Clarke...

"a restaurant near Folkestone has had to close part of its car park because of the caterpillars"

Says here in the Mirror, but what restaurant? I was thinking, the only restaurant I know in Folkestone that's high falutin' enough to have its own car park is Paul's isn't it? But this does say near Folkestone, not in Folkestone... so where then, any...

Damn dirty carnivores

Fox got into my nephews' chicken and duck enclosure and killed three birds, bah. Not that I condone the keeping of animals as pets, but look, see the hurt and upset caused by the eating of meat?Hmm my blog to twitter stuff is still not working....

What's that big space in the flat?

Apart from the 70 or 80 already mentioned all the CD's are now sold! Jen did a good job at the boot fair, sold about half of them, then someone offered to take the rest as job lot, so we agreed. So that's maybe 200 quid we got in total. For a lifetim...

Sold 80 CD's today

Sold 80 CD's in my one man boot fair at work today, mostly to the one friend who I sit next too. Only about A THOUSAND to go then, see you at the Shornecliffe Road boot fair in the morning!...

Anyone got anything to say about Folkestone that doesn't involve machetes?

Lordy all these tweeting and retweeting, see what the front page of the Gerald looks like at the moment! @rmtimes seems to have broken the story and we've all passed it on, and every time someone else passed it on I've retweeted them because they men...

Not got as many CD's as I thought

Have just got rid of all the CD's! Well, got rid of them as far as the hallway anyway. They're out of the racks, the racks are in the car ready to go too, and the chest that was full too is cleaned out and now anticipating more crap. Baby blankets or...

Maxi-Cosi Cabriofix "Phantom" baby seat

Phantom sounds good doesn't it? It's just the colour rather than it being a special stealth baby seat though.Just tried to get one of these in Mothercare, they didn't have one in stock but would order it for me. Their computer system turned out to be...

Boot fair in Etchinghill, Easter Saturday

Come along, I will be selling all my CD's there, about a thousand of them! The few remaining xbox games too.Got my xbox running xbmc now, it's awesome! Internet radio and everything, I'm going to buy more of these and put them all round the house!...

Have sold 5 of my xbox games

For a grand total of about a tenner I think. I kept the postage prices to a bare minimum, which means it's really not worth my while even writing out these envelopes, bah. Would not consider my first foray into selling on ebay a success. Will reconsi...

Molto buono ma um po troppo caro

BACK from our roam! To Rome! Very nice, thank you. Got lots of pictures and some video, going to try and geotag it all up before I upload it though.

Lots of work to do, no time to report further yet.

Of course it's not taxed!

Didn't realise until I got home that our new car is not taxed at all, how naieve am I? Called the guy at the place I bought it from "oh no, got sixty cars here I can't keep them all taxed". So not driving it just yet, left it off road on Jim's drive ...

Weaow! Weaow! Weaow! Ch-chik-chik-chik

At the car wash today... hmm actually tried to go to the car wash, FAIL, second time in a row. There's a hand car wash near work, and it was my turn to take a company car in, the one I get a lift in in. BUT, it's a combined car wash and lorry wash, a...

All insured, we can drive our new car home on Saturday

We can drive it anywhere in fact! We got a car, we don't have to walk anywhere ever again! I will get fat, start watching Top Gear and swear at busses and cyclists now.The details people keep asking, it's a 2003 Ford Fiesta, under 1300cc and it's met...

Off to buy a car

Buying that car we saw at the weekend. I'm not at all enthused by it, but at least it's convenient and not that expensive, and it's a job out of the way. I still have at least one more journey to do on public transport, as I'm paying the deposit toda...

Had a great valentines day

Had a really good day yesterday, just lovely from start to end. Fully got away with not buying a valentines card (I really don't like cards) by coming up with roses, chocolates, and a stethoscope. Not a traditional valentines gift, but Clare had been...

Ford Fusion

Where can I buy one from? Am looking on ebay and autotrader and other local sources and not having a lot of joy... do I really have to go Essex to buy a car?...

The rest of the weekend

As mentioend we went to Allotment and it was very good, we say we're going back there again as soon as possible, but then we do tend to say that about places, and we only go out about once a year, so we'll see just how soon it is that we get there.Th...

Shopping centre for sale, one careful owner

A local freesheet reports that Bouverie Place is up for sale. Thirty million apparently, though in the current climate I expect you could easily go in with twenty five million cash.Same paper also says the secret bunkers under Waterstones are effecti...

Lovely christmas, where is the time going?

Went to my folks, nearly four days but it rushed by like nobody's business. Christmas eve in the Red Lion in Fareham disappeared in a flash too, didn't even get round to speaking to everyone. Shame it's so infrequent that we meet up. Great christmas ...

A Christmas of sorts, and why doesn't the Whole World Cafe want customers?

Friday, got properly into the Christmas season, went to "A Christmas Of Sorts" at the Whole World Cafe, and it was brilliant! Was not quite sure what to expect from the gig before hand, but it really was ace, if you get the chance to see [google=carn...

Ew, I used to drink Carlsberg Export!

Not a lot of real ale choice at the Garage though.

Oasis tickets

Get tickets here for Oasis biggest ever open air tour in 2009. The Enemy and Kasabian to support. A chum just saw Oasis at Wembley Arena and says it was fantastic, but he'd not seen them since 1996 and been building it up since then. Of course I dive...

A handy guide to how tall stuff is
