Sunday Times takes the Orient Express

Did you know it still travels through Folkestone? Read all about it, they didn't enjoy the change in our town though...Then we reached Folkestone, got off the train and onto a coach, yes, a coach, for the Eurotunnel transfer: going round Folkestone r...

Pizza Express

Just a quick reviewette of our experience in Pizza Express, Canterbury, this Saturday. Our meal was a bit rubbish!It was busy, it was a Saturday lunchtime and it is Canterbury, but we waited for nearly an hour to be served, and then the pizza wasn't ...

Male Cast Members of Corrie

Me and Mr H were having our pre-theatre dinner when lo and behold, that Tyrone, Ashley Peacock and the one who used to be in Where the Heart is and is now in Corrie and his daughter boffed Martin, were stood in the entrance hall leaving. Presumably ...

Getting me a taste london card

Free three month trial, this card gets you 50% off food all the time in participating outlets. Places like Pizza Express generally have a buy one get one free type deal going on, and this card gets you that kind of deal, maybe a bit better. It's actu...

RE: Sunday Times takes the Orient Express

You can see it rumble into Folkestone Harbour every (Thursday, I think?) lunchtime. A magnificent sight. It always amuses me that these folk, who have splashed out on this most exotic mode of transport have to decamp from their luxury train onto poss...

Some shopping

Just went to Bluewater to try and get a telly for the kitchen (but no-one wanted to swap, hoho) and a new coat for Clare. BUT, the telly we had seen online didn't look nearly as good in the flesh, and all the others that did were more than we were th...

Fullsome weekender

Fairly action packed weekend for me really, surprise meal for Clare's folks for their ruby wedding on Friday, we went to The Jackdaw. I had exotic mushroom paella, it was a bit dull really but a nice night out anyway. Most other people loved their fo...

Photoshop Express

Free online photoshop? More like a rival to Flickr really, host your pictures and do simple editing of them. Guessing most people use photoshop for more heavy-duty monkey business that Potatoshop Express won't do. I use GIMP (though not very often an...

RE: Photoshop Express

Flickr already does have loads of photo editing software - they did a deal with Piknik late last year and they offer far more than Photoshop Express (in my view). Photoshop Express is just cashing in on the Photoshop brand, trying to pull consumers ...

RE: Anyone care to leave a message in English?

Ok.. the Orient Express trundled into the Harbour station this afternoon, which was a surprise as I was led to believe the final visit was in November 2007?On that subject, the penultimate visit(?) of the Golden Arrow steam train will take place this...

Folkestone double death plunge smash horror tragedy!

Yoinks, yesterday someone chucked themselves off the roof of Bouverie Square in Folkestone, and today the end of our road was sealed off by police because of a "scene". Police were stopping anyone getting close to what had happened, so a) we had to w...

Free food at Pizza Express

There's a voucher on handbag.com this week for a free meal in Pizza Express. We might well have gone there anyway, nice!Oh also I sold my Stereophonics tickets at last (at cost price)! A night in! UPDATE: The voucher is no use at the weekends, so loo...

Register at filippoberio.co.uk, got to promotions, and enter the "you can only possibly know this if you actually bought a bottle of olive oil" code "VINO EXPRESS". Ping, a free bottle of wine next time you go to Pizza Express. We already got ours.Th...

Terry Pratchett's Nation limited edition.

I've got one of these a [abe=terry pratchett nation]Nation special edition[/abe], I think. Dad queued from early this morning to secure one of these, and got it signed, good work!Had a great day in London where we also saw [abe]Terry Pratchett[/abe],...

Pizza Express offers

Everyone's doing vouchers at the moment, Got a Pizza Express discount voucher here on this site, 20% off, Sunday - Thursday only though.

Bumping into friends in London

KERRAZY, went to London last weekend and it was smashing, and we bumped into good chums Ralph and Linda and baby Astrid in GAP, what are the chances of that? OK, we had already arranged to meet up with them earlier that day at Pain Quotidien, which w...

Should I buy an Aiport Express?

I want a way to play my music from the computer around the house, without too much expense... is Apple Airport Express worth a go? I think I'll need another solution to be able to change tracks from the other room, but just to stream from one to the ...

RE: Should I buy an Aiport Express?

I bought one years ago, but simply could not make it work.

A new two for one offer from Pizza Express; this time the most expensive one is free!

See this Pizza Express site... if there are four of you you can use two vouchers, AND you can use the vouchers at the weekend! The only negative thing here is this mean's it'll be harder to get the best table on Saturday :-( See you there......

Lost: bit rubbish

Bah, wrote this up earlier and then had to shut my browser and now it's all lost. I can never remember exactly the same points I had to make, nor make them as succinctly when I try a second time.Watched the double episode series opener of Lost yester...

Main meals for �1 at Zizzi

See zizzioffers.co.uk - ah they're only �1 if you buy another one at full price! It's a trick! that's a slightly worse deal than the two-for-one that Pizza Express are doing, and it's Monday to Thursday only....

Still no review of The Cure then

Had a good time at the gig, though as previously mentioned our seats were shocking. I'm not a fan of big gigs like that anyway, but would prefer not to go again than to be stuck at the back like that. Check the block you're being offered before confi...

Our day out

Went to London. It rained. Had a nice day anyway. Here's where we went: Map loading here, where I went with my GPS on 28/03/2009, the last 1000 locations anyway... var map; $( function () { if ( GBrowserIsCompatible()) { $("div.map").before( "Ma...

Nice day in Canterbury

Harry really playing up since we got in, overtired is my guess. Did not enjoy his bath really, hope he goes down OK. Clare is doing the last daytime feed now and it's sounding quiet at last... had nothing but screaming for the last hour.Lunch was Piz...

Weekend treats

Trying again, after my browser crash fiasco, will undoubtedly miss detail this time as I'm bored of writing the same thing. Yes even more bored than you are of reading it!Had a great weekend, here are the highlights. Took some time to stop and think ...

Two trips to The Crown in one weekend

Just reviewing the rest of my weekend while I'm waiting for this video to finish. Went to The Crown on Friday night and thought it was a FINE venue for the Saturday night meeting up with a couple of friends. And it is! People look down their nose at ...

Half price pizza at Pizza Express

Voucher here, good every day until the end of January.

Second viewing of the biggest investment of my life

Lovely day today, Mum and Dad were here, lunch in Pizza Express then a viewing of our new house. Only the second viewing for me, lordy. It is a bit smaller than I remember but still good. Does not look like there will be any room for a real shed, unl...

Lovely fathers eve

Up early to do some chores in town, went to Wilkinsons, I really like it in there, it is my guilty pleasure. Then home and off to Canterbury. Got treated to a lunch in Pizza Express, we had a voucher for an actual free meal, some world cup promotion....

A day of mishaps yesterday

Just after I posted on the blog yesterday, I went to the hallway to get more cardboard boxes, and the door slammed behind me. Clare was out with Harry (hence me blogging when I should have been packing), I had no keys, no phone, no anything. I was ju...
