Today I invented a brilliant new thing, called "podcasts"

Was surfing for news of Kid Rock yesterday, as a friend has been working with him and I was wondering if she'd show up in any paparazzi shots of him stumbling out of nightclubs or anything. No joy there, but he was interviewed by the Guardian yesterd...

Too old to rock

have my new starter at work, our industrial placement from Canterbury University for the year. He seems a nice guy, but in making conversation I asked him what he was listening to... Simply Red! Phil Collins! Robbie Williams! This guy is not even twe...

RE: Folkestone suicide tragedy

I can confirm that Rosie had just come from an interview in which her return to work part-time was discussed positively. She had been treated for depression and everything seemed to be going well. It is so sad that, just when life had begun to look r...

Boo, just found this Amy Winehouse message from 3 years ago

Not only was she a clean living newcomer to the world of pop then, but she'd just bigged up popex in an interview on that webwise column. Looks like the BBC update that page by hand, and they've not kept a complete archive of all the celebs they inte...

Amy Winehouse (aged 14) in The Fast Show

Nice one www.popbitch.com.Just found this post from 2004 regarding Amy Winehouse (and I'm sure there's more in the archive), where I was whooping with glee because she bigged up my website in an interview with the BBC. It's not archived on the webwis...

It's not the show that's on TV, he's just being interviewed

It's on BBC Newsnight or something, but it's on at about quarter to six, so not Newsnight. The trailer was meant to be a load of outtakes from Ricky talking to camera, but it looked lame and unconvincing really.Not seen this show, so that's a treat f...

Sleep easy families of South London

This gun crime problem among your children is surely close to resolution - BBC Breakfast today had the UK's least famous man Richard Blackwood in to give his point of view. I can only assume they had a real guest lined up who pulled out at the last m...

Quiz fun

Broke with tradition yesteray at the Ship Inn quiz, it was a slightly weakened turnout, so we three were split into two teams. That was me on my own, and Clare and her mum on another team. Neither team did that badly I thought, though if you look at ...

GOOD interview

Spent a few hours with a really cool company earlier, hope they are thinking the same kind of salary I'm thinking. There was a range advertised with the job, I hope they agree with me that I'm at the top of that range. Oh, and that they are intereste...

Suffolkator

So, a man has been arrested in connection with the Ipswich murders, and BBC have him on tape. I was saying to the wife when it transpired that the BBC had one of the victims on tape that I just BET they're interviewing everyone in town just on the o...

Too much

Done far too much since my last posting to remember it all, but here's a go... Thursday was my last proper day at work, though they've asked me to stay on for another week, so that's christmas paid for. That night we were out for the popbitch christm...

A Seaside Year launches in Folkestone

Folkestone is to see a new creative project arrive in the town this winter with the launch of A Seaside Year bringing twelve months of new performing arts events and activities to the town.Four key scheduled events for Winter, Spring, Summer and Autu...

Dolphin Filming

Dave the Dolphin has been in touch again, firstly with a full filming schedule from the BBC (their Inside Out TV programme will be filming a Folkestone Dolphin special), and local people really ought to be involved... The plan is:Meet near the harbou...

RE: That all seems like a long time ago now

Thought you were lost in cyberspace. How did the interview(s) go

Really bad and sad news about Paul Hunter, he was only 27 and had just become a dad, should have known things were very serious when his ranking was frozen earlier this year, that's an unusual move, though we really thought and hoped he'd recover.Als...

Maidstone: GOOD

We went to Maidstone, and it was good. Fifty minute journey on the train to get there, with a change at Ashford, but worth going to. We had lunch in Pizza Express opposite Hazlitt Theatre, though there's quite a lot of other choice. Would be nice to ...

Roundup

Interview yesterday was good, but it's a small company and I'm still after more money than they can afford. It wis great to work on interesting projects, but I'm still holding out for a higher wage too right now, we have a mortgage and want a new hou...

Monkeys on viagra

WEIRD one, got a call about a contract job yesterday, for a big pharmaceutical company nearby. In collecting my details, the agent asked me about animal testing and said "I have to record your response to this, and pass it on to the client"... This s...

RE: I've read Girlfriend In A Coma too

i dont know if this is the right reaction but when i saw his background and realised that he wasnt a geek himself i kinda felt let down and a bit cheated. oh well.

i've asked to be invited to vox. i wonder if i'll have to be interviewed.

One night in Paris*

So we hit Paris at the weekend, and we'd only been there a matter of minutes before Paris hit me. Friday, very early morning Eurostar, but nice, as it was from Ashford, which is just up the road from us. So no need to head into London, or even to get...

Wintersmith

I see not only that there's a new Terry Pratchett book out, but that Amazon have changed their URLs, so they now have the author and title at the beginning of them... this is GOOD for them, for getting a page listed higher in some search engines etc,...

Indian summer

Nice day again today then, I thought when the weather turned a bit ropey on the first of the month that we were due six months of winter... going to be in the eighties today, and looking good for our weekend too.Several more job applications in, noth...

Where did summer go?

Crap weather today, I am almost jealous of everyone we know who is off on holiday right now... took a windy bus ride into Canterbury today for a lovely yasai chilli men at Wagamama, and a bit of shopping and pubbing. Got hugely delayed on the way hom...

Oh dear what's happened to the style then?

Been playing with PhpGedView while I had some time to play with PHP (which might help me with work) and genealogy things(which probably won't). It's "skinnable", but only sort of, it needs some hacking to integrate it in this site, and in the process...

I am here

Just been a bit busy with I don't know what. Fending off a few jobs and interviews and things, and then also hanging around the shops like other unemployable Folkestone delinquents.Yesterday I drove the in-laws to Gatwick, and nearly got in trouble w...

Nice Zombies!

N I C EZ O M B I E SFrom e-zombie.com... Was feeling like a zombie by the end of yesterday, four interviews in four different parts of London. At least one looks hopeful and promising, but if I say which one and any of the others read this then I'll ...

In London today

Just popped into an Easy Everything cafe between job interviews, got too many lined up today, something's sure to go wrong, all going smoothly so far.Far too hectic a weekend, too many things going on, despite receiving a bit of bad family news we ha...

My last things

My last day at this job started with my last delayed train on the way in to this job, fifteen minutes late, though I hardly noticed as I slept quite well on the way in. I suffered the grimness of the last blocked train toilet on this commute too, ble...

RE: To do list

Good luck with the interview.

I showed my husband your CV but I don't think he has had a look at it yet. I am not sure it would be well paid enough anyway. He doesn't get paid nearly enough for all the time he puts in.
