Train news

Hey London tube travellers, Here's a song for you. Only listen to it if you like lots and lots of swearing, and weak b3ta style graphics over a tune you've heard before mind. I'm not really that arsed about the tube strike today as, HEY, I'm well ou...

Belated weekend roundup

Weekend start sort of badly, and then sort of worse, and then actually got going really very well indeed. Train home hit some kind of delay, caused by some kind of delay on another train. That's as much detail as we've come to expect in the non expla...

Paul Clarke Meet & Greet Package

No not really, I just got an email about a Paul Stanley thing you can bid on, promoting his new solo album. He's the singer with KISS like you didn't know...To celebrate the new release, and his current club tour, we are offering a once-in-a-lifetime...

A burgeoning local film industry?

Sounds good, seen a couple of things in the paper about people making films locally, good luck with finding something locally.I (not Steve T) am still commuting daily from the West End of Folkestone into London, it's exhausting innit? I am being made...

More rubbishness

Couldn't be arsed to write anything yesterday, Clare's uncle died and so everyone was in a bit of a gloom all day. He was a good age really and was quite ill the last time we saw him, but we understood he was much improved. Clare's gone off today for...

Folkestone without the views and the faded grandeur

Didn't see Folkestone on the TV last night, that's mostly a good thing I think. Kirstie Allsop and Phil Spencer presented a rundown of the best and worst towns to live in, based on some criteria or other. Folkestone didn't come in the top ten (there'...

MARVELLOUS weekend then

It's all about the pictures this weekend, which I don't have to hand, so I must transfer, upload, and edit them into this post later... Friday my cousin had a baby, welcome to the world Keira Patel, and then Friday night Clare had a hair trial for th...

Randall and Hopkirk (Disqualified)

Had a great idea for a TV show for Vic Reeves, but on trying to explain it to Clare, it didn't sound quite so great or funny. Only the title is good, so there you go just think "Randall and Hopkirk (Disqualified)" and have a little chuckle to yoursel...

Reporting in...

NICE weekend again, a quiet Friday night in front of the telly for a start. Going to bed early in the week, it feels a bit like we should go wild and crazy out somewhere, but it's nice to get in at the end of the week and relax knowing we don't have ...

Folkestone on the telly!

Good to see Folkestone on TV, on Relocation, Relocation last night... more in the Folkestone Forum... Wednesday night's a great night for TV, with that, Grand Designs, and Desperate Housewives. We're getting Sky+ installed today, though I don't know ...

Relocation, Relocation

Good to see Folkestone not only feature on Channel 4's Relocation, Relocation last night, but also being the outright winner! What a great house. Shame they didn't have time to give as much blurb about Folkestone as they did about Deal and Ramsgate. ...

Good commuting

Good journey in today, no-one too noisy on the train and we both slept a bit, though DANG I forgot my tea that I made in my thermal travel mug... I will stop now, I am in trouble of sounding like one of the inspector's bus extremists... Tube journey ...

The first rule about job club

Google blogger sacked, don't talk about work kids...Great weekend with a visit to Folkestone by Mum and Dad, took a trip to Lympne Castle, picked out some paint for the front room, and I DROVE A CAR, for the first time in about 8 years... piece of ca...

Christmas roundup

Had a GREAT Christmas break in Folkestone, quite a lot of sitting in and relaxing, playing dominoes, watching DVDs (lots of series one, why did Doyle leave? He's WHAT???) and remarkably not eating out once. Normally a trip there means restaurants fo...

No more 106

In an attempt to make this less boring, I'll not be mentioning the 106 bus for at least a week. I was going to post up a picture of how someone had hacksawed away a part of the luggage rack on a train, but I think that would only have reinforced the ...

Rated 4.43/10 on Folkestone Gerald

Earls Avenue

Have seen BILLIONS of places down in Folkestone so far this week, the star of which has been a mad 3 bed flat over two levels which has it's own bar, roof terrace, separate dining room, lounge, TV room AND study, but the thing that's been stopping me...
