Too boring

Less posts about PHP, javascript and KML to come, as my friend - let's call him the cowardly civil servant to offer him some anonymity - found it boring. While he was reading at work. How do you find the time mate? I'll tell you what's boring, it's m...

ICE SKATING ???

Does anyone know whether an ice skating rink is coming to Folkestone harbour this spring just as it did last year?

Thank you :)

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...

Crap Town!!

Folkestone's so depressingly shit, kids are even coming from Bridgend to hang themselves.

RE: Oof, shooting in Cheriton!

RE: the three mackeral

Looks like Julie has given up on the place like all the other tenants. Price recently reduced to �47k.

RE: Do you really think DeHaan has made any money on this yet?

They've reduced the price now to �47k.Must be desperate.

ice skating folkestone harbour

What days are ice skating on and whst times?
email back to sammaple@hotmail.co.uk

thanks for that Julie

Whole lot of interesting detail there, though you do sound a bit bitter

Does Folkestone really need any more apartments? I know it has lots of pubs and they're all empty, but that's because there are almost none that are worth going to.I heard somewhere, perhaps on the councillor's own blog that he lived there, and that ...

sounds like the map is wrong

Possibly I don't have the right location in for "rye harbour" in the database, sounds likely, I will investigate.

Rye Harbour

Do you really mean "Folkestone Harbour" the map directs you that way???As I would like to see the "Last Golden Arrow" I do hope you mean 'my town'!!

Gerry

I'm with you, that market is trash!

Maybe it'll get cleaned up when the new centre opens? Or maybe you need stuff like this for a contrast, to make the other stuff look good. Most street markets are pretty scummy anyway, the Folkestone one probably isn't much worse than average, it's j...

Splendid weekended

Great weekend, went to visit the folks and we got down in plenty of time to go to Portsmouth Dockyard and see the Mary Rose and the Victory. The Mary Rose was more interesting than I thought, it's not just a big lump of driftwood, but the Victory was...

Try and get a local paper

There's very little info online actually, www.lcrhq.co.uk might have info on the high speed rail link, AFAIK still not due until the end of 2009, and that's not allowing for any new postponements. I made the move from London with all this in mind tho...

Beer: not bad
