Don't forget Richard Herring is in Folkestone this Friday night

We'll be there, looking forward to it. Going out, on a Friday night, imagine! Hope we can find time for a drink before and after, but where, Wetherspoons maybe?

Great weekend, dreadful last leg of journey!

Very good flying visit to mum and dad's, ace to see everyone again, shame it has to be such a brief trip each time. No time to catch up with friends this time, but Clare and I went out for a later dinner at Ask, and it was very nice.Harry has been a ...

Our friend in the North (London)

OUR FRIEND MARTIN! Just Clare's friend and workmate first and mainly I meant!

Good luck with the gig, have you supported them before? In a musical sense I mean, not just turning up at every gig...

Don't cross me today!

Was rudely awoken by my howling banshee of a son at 2.30 this morning. Just a bad dream I think, nothing was up. He was as cute as you like when I picked him up but each time I tried to put him back down he started again. Hard work. Plus mental busy ...

Post christmas / pre work blues

Well not really. I think that's how I should be feeling as this is the last day of my week off, back in to work tomorrow. But actually it's a nice sunny day (looked very frosty this morning) and we're off to Canterbury for lunch and it's weekendtasti...

Get your taxis here!

Project I have been working on for approximately one million billion years is now live, add a taxi onto your hotel booking! Go to www.holidayextras.co.uk book a Gatwick hotel and you can prebook a taxi transfer. It's cheaper than the transfer bus for...

Me, stagediving

Oh yeah this has been worth waiting for here's a clip of me on stage at the London Astoria, 1991. What, you blinked? Watch it again! That's me bottom left for a few seconds.Particularly poignant as it's GONE now. I bought this bootleg video a while a...

Home to a cold and empty flat...

It's been Clare's AGM today, well The Historic House Association's AGM, so Clare went up for it and took Harry along to see everyone. And they're still not back! Where is my tea?!?Will take this as a rare opportunity to get a takeaway, and maybe do s...

ah man having done 90 mins of ripping of that vid I think it's going to crash without saving it :-( http://bit.ly/6DF15

Noisy night in tonight

Bizarrely this arrived in the post the other day with no note or anything. There was a return address though, and from that Clare thinks it was sent to her because she signed up for something agreeing to review baby products on some parenting website...

Spend it quick before it all goes

Decadent food and drink tonight, a Bishops Finger for starters to accompany my Waitrose salad bowl, and then a Yalumba Hand Picked Tempranillo, Grenache, and Viognier to accompany my main course of, ahem, sausage, waffles and beans. Did a nice little...

What DAB radio IPOD dock should I get?

Considering this Roberts one or this from Denon. A chum recommends Chronos iDock but it looks a bit clock-radio to me. Want quite a big sound. Audiophiles do seem to slag off BOSE but I like the sound of the IPOD dock my folks have. So, anyone with a...

Surely WE are enough of a bum economy now for McDonalds to quit the UK too?

McDonalds leaves Iceland...

Another lovely weekend

A whole week without updates, that's how busy I've been at work and that. Off to Mum and Dad's again for the weekend, good run there, slightly less so back, just traffic at the normal spots though. No Ricky Gervais this week, no comedy at all, though...

Don't I look like the man who fell to earth or something?

OK, updating again today if I get time, just taken an extra week off it.

Folkestone to London High Speed Rail Link trial has started

Details here on the BBC, anyone ridden this service yet? Anyone found a useful time of train to get them to or from Folkestone? I don't think there are many...

Don't turn up, please read

Kind regards

says the BBC.

@collingsa and @herring1967 "live" "podcast" today

Guess they are recording live and twittering throughout chpod hastag. These things tend to go wrong, check out the amount of retweeting and spam cluttering the thing up already. Probably better to share an account and have people just follow that acc...

A hurried lunch at Brockhill Park

Lawks what happened at the cafe at Brockhill Country Park? There's me raving about it to anyone who'll listen and making plans to get back there as frequently as possible, arranged for some friends to come along and meet me there at lunchtime, and it...

Harry update

He did the biggest poo in the world this morning. Not just filling his nappy, he nearly filled the gro bag that we have been putting him in. Lordy, I never saw so much.Stop me if I'm sharing too much.Yesterday evening he was only slightly monsterish,...

RT @darryl1974 The demolition of the Astoria in pictures:

Goodbye old friend. From my first visit to my last it was a good reliable gig venue. Always more about the people I was with than the venue itself, but still.Haven't mentioned Harry for DAYS! It's mostly that it's hard to think of something nice abou...

Can't believe I'm back in work tomorrow

I've been off with Harry for just about FOUR WEEKS now, this is amazing! I've not only forgotten what it is I do at work, I'm not entirely sure where it is any more. Luckily my neighbour works there, saw her today, they were having a very sophisticat...

Can only find first class high speed rail travel from Folkestone to London so far

See the journey planner, just testing it out with a commuter type service on Monday, I can only find first class tickets available for the new high speed rail link. And even then I can't find a train that gets me there particularly quickly. Can see o...

Don't forget it's an old school night at the Frog and Frigate tomorrow

Some people are calling it a reunion, but I think it's going to be more like one of those "songs from the war" type nights that they have at the Leas Cliff Hall. Doesn't start until 10pm, lordy, we used to go at about 6pm back in the day...Hmm, they ...

Andy Murray-ometer

Today Andy Murray is 85% British... saw this on popbitch board the other day, just been reminded by the newsletter......

A whole heap of wrong things here

A massive stack of wrongness in this guide to London from www.latimes.com (via darryl1974 and bagelmouseuk) but it's an entertaining read and makes me think gor blimey mary poppins, when will we get up to London next? Obviously will spend less time i...

Why don't local venues send me listings like this?

Actually why don't we have any local venues putting on this quantity of gigs? I can't complain too loud I suppose, as the Cheesegrater has put some shows on and I've not been along yet, but harrumpf anyway. This is from York Fibbers:Hi, this is a lis...
