We have a bundle of Windebanks

Here's one John Windebank, maneuver your way around the family tree from there! Can you really trace them back that far? Would be very interested if there was some connection in to ours. My great great great grandfather had a daughter Caroline Clarke...

Why don't local venues send me listings like this?

Actually why don't we have any local venues putting on this quantity of gigs? I can't complain too loud I suppose, as the Cheesegrater has put some shows on and I've not been along yet, but harrumpf anyway. This is from York Fibbers:Hi, this is a lis...

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...

and then my ear exploded in a shower of blood

WEIRD dreams last night, partly that my ear burst in a shower of blood, and partly that I had gone somewhere on a train, and left my bag on the train, and couldn't get it back, and then we had to go on holiday and I was in BIG TROUBLE for not having ...

Madchester Reunited FAIL

Ah well John Squire seems to definitively put those Stone Roses reunion rumours to rest, here on Newsnight. Just in case the image on his website wasn't clear enough. Reckon it was all his choice though? Maybe he found out Ian Brown was not up for it...

I think I need this

John Lewis Bergerac trunk. Not a trunk for keeping all your Bergerac DVDs in, Bergerac is a range of furniture from John Lewis. This would match some pieces we have. Unfortunately bidding has gone crazy already, I was vainly hoping it would hang arou...

Shark!

Just looking at my stats on https://www.google.com/analytics google analytics, this little burst of visitor activity (people searching for elton john, rather than elton john actually doing the searching) looks like a shark's fin, COOL!Elton John 22/0...

Elton John support acts

Elton John has announced his support acts for those new years shows at the O2, they are Will Young, X Factor Winner Alexandra Burke, The Overtures and Sealife, plus Heart DJ. Never mind though, you should still buy tickets if you have not already.Elt...

Got your new years eve tickets sorted?

There's always Elton John at the O2 if you haven't... I see Gate 28 are doing tickets, a fiver only though. What is going on elsewhere?Also, really does no-one have an opinion on who they'd like to play Folkestone?...

I wish I was on a percentage

Someone just bought two of those Elton John tickets (with the champagne reception and guided tour and so on) through this site, for a grand total of �1350! And what's my commission on that? 50p. Seems I'm on a flat 25p per ticket deal... Sold eight m...

Backstage at Elton John's new year's eve party...

This doesn't actually sound like a bad deal, New Year's Eve is always expensive and disappointing, how do you best tickets for Elton John, at the 'Dome, free drinks and an after show party too? All for less than 300 quid. Regular tickets are around t...

RE: Toft`s / gigs in 1969

I used to go to Tofts regularly during the 60s (when it was at Grace Hill). Used to be one of my favourite venues. (The other being the Epress Ballroom, a bit further down the hill on the other side)Can't remember dates, but I saw Long John Baldry th...

A new dawn, a new hope, a new America, etc

A shift away from Conservatism, it's Obama what won it. The number of seats makes it look like a proper drubbing, Barack Obama winning two for each one that John McCain did, and it wasn't close like George W Bush's controversial win, but it looked li...

Obama vs McCain, battle of the t-shirts

Of those two t-shirts I posted here a while back, the Barack Obama one has been viewed twice as many times as the John McCain one. I think Obama's going to win....

Talk about hedging your bets

New KISS t-shirts. I guess they're saying "just make sure you vote", but it's a bit like selling arms to both sides of the war isn't it?...

Another odd looking Bergerac Oak table

Here's another Bergerac Oak dining table with the same odd colouring as the other pieces I've seen on ebay recently... is this maybe an older colour that John Lewis used to do? Our bookcases are the mid coloured "Alsace" range, it's not that, but we ...

Apothecary cabinet went for �395

See it here, wonder if it will reappear on the listings again. Could have been a proper bargain, but that picture looked suss, like someone had revarnished it themselves.Speaking of REVARNISH, well kind of, I keep looking at words and thinking "that'...

Apothecary cabinet strangeness in Surrey

You will of course remember this cabinet that I bigged up recently, it was listed for �100 and I put in a few bids for it, as I liked it and it's full price would be over two grand and it matches what we've got. It sold in the end for �545 to someone...

Nice weekend, quiet weekend

Nice weekend. Changed our Friday night outgoing plans and had a quiet one in. Saturday went to a 92nd birthday tea for Clare's gran over in Tenterden, home for a brief siesta, and then out to The Guildhall with visiting family and friends. Took a bri...

If we could get this for �100 that would be FINE...

Bergerac Oak sideboard / display cabinet....

Great live music at The Good Intent, John Street, Rochester.

Great gig at the Good Intent, John Street, Rochester, yesterday lunchtime, Sunday 1st June.A wonderful welcome from Karen and the guvnor, and two long sets from Andy Smythe, singer songwriter on vocal, guitar and piano, accompanied by Barry Targett o...

Farewell then, John Price

John left our team on Friday, did they get him a brand new car as a leaving gift?

It's the John Lewis furniture that is rustic, the Habitat furniture is all web2.0 style clean lines and curvy corners...Clare got a "place", winnings were less than the cost of putting the various bets on, but we'll get our 25 quid back I hope. Have ...

We nearly bought one of these

and perhaps should have done, half price Bergerac Oak TV stand. If you can collect from Glossop. Not worth organising a courier for really.Been a while since I posted any furniture bargains. Will be a while again before we buy anything I suspect. All...

Queen BACK!

We're not going to this, nor going to get the album I wouldn't have thought. Went to see "Queen" before with Paul Rodgers, and it was good to hear some of the tunes live, but it's probably best just to leave it. Also Brian May seems like a bit of a m...

Ah yes we have Edward Windebank born 1820

here he is, click around from there. So are we cousins or WHAT?

Weather report part two

Ferocious rain woke us both up in the night, a proper downpour again. Clare got the fear that the weather might have resulted in our pilot light going out (it happened before), which would mean waking up to cold showers, so I got up to check on it. W...

Four tables, four prices

Hmm I suspect these four dining tables are actually the same table, but you can pay between 900 and 1250 pounds for them, depending on whether you want the table with just four chairs, four chairs and a bench, five chairs and a bench, or two chairs, ...

You wait ages for a John Lewis Bergerac table

And then two come along at once. This one looks like a genuine sale, be lovely to think it stayed near it's opening price of fifty quid and didn't sail up to the thousand pound mark, but unlikely. As a bonus there you get to have a nose around that p...
