Michael Jackson black or white doll

A friend is selling one on ebay, guess it's one of these... I thought he said he was going to get about �400 quid for it though, doh! Who'd have thought EVERYONE was selling theirs at the same time..?...

"it brough back fond memories of my friend 'Spliff'"

That's a genuine extract from a letter from this weeks' your shepway freesheet... well I chuckled anyway.

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...

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. ...

Nice knowing you all

It's a lovely sunny bank holiday, so it would be foolish for me to stay inside all day on the computer. So we're off out! To a HUGE inside with no daylight in at all! Yes IKEA, North of the river and everything! IKEA traditionally leads to arguments,...

Nircom Babysense ll Movement/Sound Monitor

Buying one of these as it was strongly recommended. Thought at first this baby monitor might be just another of those things cashing in on the paranoia of the new parent but it's been recommended by a trusted friend so we're in!Trusted friend, if I h...

I recommend Escondido in Sandgate

Important cool stuff from the weekend that I forgot

Forgot two things from the weekend! I drove my old VW Beetle in the first time since I don't know when! Sold the car in about 1993 I think, to a friend, and when it had finally conked out on him he offered it back to my Dad who towed it back home. It...

Where did the weekend go?

Great weekend, went to Fareham, saw family and friends, probably for the last time before baby is born for most of them... Went to Chichester, Clare had never been before, it was NICE! Had lunch in a vegetarian cafe that was NICE, foolishly offered t...

Woo #twitkit released an update at the weekend

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6845 Get your firefox plugin here, it's a sidebar for firefox. Been getting a bit panicky without my 30 second updates on what people are thinking about doing! Actually I'm using it quite a bit for cheek...

Blogging suffering as a direct result of twitter

I suspected this might happen, what a shame. Seems there's no need to write even so much as a paragraph these days, a short line with a smiley and some hashtags will more than do.So what's going on? Just about recovered from my trip to Exeter. For su...

Surveillance society

Bad Google street view, you can't be monitoring us the whole time! I'm glad people with the moral fibre of the Evening Standard are standing up to Google.I went to Paddington at the weekend. It wasn't my destination, just a stop off on my way to Exet...

RE: Saw a GREAT house at the weekend

Karl's very posh !

What is Canterbury wholefoods like for food, I have never been in the eating bit only the shopping bit.

Saw a GREAT house at the weekend

But boo, it was too small! I've decided this is my ideal location in Canterbury though, just off Old Dover Road, everything just looks nice. This was actually on between Old Dover Road and New Dover Road. This house is under budget, three bedrooms, n...

Who understands ebay?

Not me! You may have noticed I am endlessly plugging things that interest me on ebay, like habitat radius wardrobe (ends today, already soared past the price we paid for one recently, collect from Walthamstow). Ebay pay an affilliate commission, so t...

PLEASE NOTE Seats located on Level 4 (Upper Tier, Upper Bowl) are not recommended for those who have a fear of heights

Was talking to a friend yesterday who was too afraid to stand up when she went to the O2 because her seat was too high up. I'm sure it won't be that bad, I am building it up a bit for comic effect, but crikey. Also: Please note there are planned engi...

Good weekend of eating and drinking

Despite the previously mentioned car issues (now closer to being resolved, got the insurance certificate so I can get my tax), we had a great weekend. Had a chum visiting, so made the effort to go out, and drag another friend out too, which seems to ...

RE: I did get the table in the end

I bid on a dvd... 7 days left apparently!!! Glad you got the object of your desire...

I did get the table in the end

No other bids on it, I should have just left it and made an offer later, but I did like the look of it. Will find out just how nice it is when I pick it up tomorrow! Did you get anything?

Happy 1234567890!

The UNIX timestamp clicks over to 1234567890 today, that's 1,234,567,890 seconds since the 1st Jan, 1970. Check out this site celebrating 1234567890. Now there's a site without much longevity...I remember when the timestamp clicked over from 999,999,...

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...

Big spend up

May not have managed to get a car or a house yet but I think it's time to get a new camera. We used to have an old version of this and it was good, seems clunky and heavy and slow now and basically just wore out, so I'm looking forward to getting the...

Speaking to a friend last night in Chambers about legends of folkestone a Facebook group he has set up. Hoping to swap some info with my Folkestone history section... Over 1000 members, nice, and some interesting sounding events:Events:Darth Vader vi...

RE: ho ho ho very festive weekender

Why have you been banned from ebay's affiliate scheme?

ho ho ho very festive weekender

Started our weekend at the Christmas of Sorts night at the Whole World Cafe, it was GREAT, though the lady running the cafe was as unwelcoming as ever, perhaps it's her style... The band playing (more of a collective really) were great, I was expecti...
