Back at work

Gone through all my emails, there are a few too many "... and we'll leave that until Paul gets back" for my liking, but it could have been worse. If they'd managed to do everything without me I'd be expendable, don't want that.It's hard being back aw...

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...

Folkestone - the place of dreams

Only 1100 views of this video so far, and it was the lead story in the local paper last week! Quite a good job done on this I think, good work whoever you are. It's generated some debate....

There's always a huge death rumour on Glastonbury weekend

Every year at Glastonbury there is a rumour going round that a major celebrity has died! Generally it's Cliff Richard though!So where were you when you heard Michael Jackson had died? I can tell you I was RIGHT HERE, in this room, looking at my phone...

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 ...

Glastonwhat?

Would be great to be at Glastonbury again this year if the weather stays like this. And if I wasn't so old, and if we didn't have a not quite three week old to look after. This year's lineup looks pretty good.Looks like Glastonbury 2003 was my last G...

Where'd my paternity leave go?

Man alive that quality time with Clare and Harry has gone fast, one more day of it really. I should spend less of the remainder on the computer! Harry is sleeping and Clare is getting ready for us to go down town though. As I already mentioned he's s...

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...

The more times you post about this on here

The further it pushed Folkestone Gerald up the google rankings! Stop mentioning it here!

Another nice day with the family

Kerry and the boys visited today, no Derrick as he's had ANOTHER accident, this time involving a chair lift. How many mirrors must that boy have broken??? Dad came instead again, to keep them company on the trip. Had a nice walk down to the beach and...

got lots of gigs and events here, all around the world

Why remove this one?

Why is this on here?

Scare Kingdom Scream Park is featured on here... why? The park is in Lancashire - not Folkestone!!!!! please remove it, this is an error.

Trying to listen to @Herring1967 and @CollingsA on 6Music

Can normally listen to 6Music on the TV, but reception is no good here if anyone is behind the TV moving about, and Clare and the midwife have been. Not crouching behind the TV in the corner the room, but in the room that is behind the room where the...

Due day plus SIX

These extra days are rattling along a bit fast now, the big event must surely be any minute. Every day in the few fuzzy seconds between dreaming (last night that I'd sold lots of our stuff, can't remember what now) and being awake I have a little tho...

I told you a sheep got into our office

Is there not a Cafe Belge in Covent Garden?

I've been to something like that there, long time ago now, 1996 or so!I am a vegan, but very rarely eat at the greengrocers.Ah Belgo that's what I'm thinking of, must be very similar....

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. ...

Ricky Gervais tickets

Woo, after my call for tickets for Ricky Gervais (my sister was very keen to see him in Winchester) there is a full tour including Portsmouth Guildhall (6th, 7th, and 8th of October). So that works out well for everyone then! He's also doing Glasgow,...

The Frog and Frigate reunion

There's no danger of anyone reading this and knowing what I'm on about and not knowing about this as you would have been copied in to the same email, but ooh look, Derek back at the Frog and Frigate! There will be a Frog and Frigate reunion party on ...

opposite where the police station is now?

Thanks for sharing your memories.

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...

Not so keen on Escondido any more

Went last night, they seem to be fixed on their new short menu now. Seemingly no side dishes at all, where did they go? Did I just miss them? They are listed on that menu but I am sure they weren't on the printed menu... Also there is no vegan option...

May The Fourth Wall Be With You - quiz!

Double quiz action at Chambers this weekend, regular monthly quiz on the Sunday with a �100 prize and then another to raise money for the Fourth Wall Theatre group on the Monday. Don't think I can make the Sunday one but maybe see you at this one...I...

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...

replied to yourself there didn't you?

And now weather

VERY good day today, not just because we had the scan and it all went well, but the day itself was great. HOT, SUNNY, it was like SUMMER. Drove home at lunchtime along the seafront (as Operation Stack was on) and everyone was out, Bar Vasa looked to ...

Fierce storm last night here

Masses of thunder and lightning, quite close by, made the building shake once. I would not be surprised to hear somewhere near by was struck / damaged. Did not hear a lot of rain, but I can see the ground is damp... The pool table is still on the fro...

There goes the neighbourhood

It's like living in Fareham again! There's a piece of furniture been dumped in our front garden overnight! OK, it's a better class of furniture, not a rusty broken washing machine or a wee-stained mattress or anything. And, OK, hands up, it was me th...
