While I was away I read Matthew's Prize: Being the Tale of a Whitby Orphan Boy's Longing to Navigate the Broad Seas though I didn't know the title was so long at the time... it's about PIRATES, and it's quite good, if a bit of a blokey version of a mills and boon. Also Nocturne and Permissable Limits both by Graham Hurley. I like them because they're connected with Portsmouth (Hurley lives there and writes for the Portsmouth Evening News), but they're both a bit fantastic. Not in a good way, but in a not believable characters and situations way... I muchly enjoyed Murphy's Law by Colin Bateman, though I missed the recent TV series, and most of all Carter Beats the Devil which is a fantastic (in a good way) account of a (possibly) fictional magician of the roaring twenties "Carter the Great"...
More Alcudia restaurant reviews coming soon, and pictures of actual stokey related things soon. There is a house up for auction on Manor Road, I am keen to see what it goes for, will find links later...

www.pidster.com got a mention on www.zeldman.com for pointing out something wonky in a favelet he'd written, nice. Now after a bit of log checking etc, someone who's beeen driven to pidster by the link on zeldman has checked out his redesign of bbc.co.uk, and blogged about that... I predict that someone at BBC will implement pid's work, without contacting or crediting him and try and claim it as their own. But as my probably-soon-to-be pirated cow-orker points out, now it's been "blogged about", that's the best way of proving you did something first.
www.private-eye.co.uk (well, the paper version) gives Folkestone a little mention in this issue, Dr B Ching gives the Channel Tunnel Rail Link a slagging, because it's not joining up our main cities, and it probably won't be ready on time, and when it is completed, the tube network it connects people to won't be able to cope. Just so long as I can buy someone down there before prices treble, that's all I'm worried about.
Maybe there's more to this londonbloggers furore than meets the eye, looks like www.londonbloggers.com was registered a week before www.londonbloggers.co.uk so they were probably both inspired at the same time by www.nycbloggers.com... reckon I will stick with .co.uk. Not for any ethical reasons, just that .com doesn't work here.
Had a panic this morning that a mailout I did for Probe media didn't work, but it did, just some wonky ^M^M^M's in the output file...
Finished Carter beats the Devil at last, that's a good book... I read it over too long a period though (fitting Order of the Phoenix in there too, which wasn't worth 600 pages) so got a bit confused by the end and had to refer back.
