Spamalot

Spamalot was quite good, not brilliant, best bit for me was seeing Tim Curry in the lead role. It's all the same story / jokes as the film.Went to The Three Greyhounds before the show, very good, small but nice old pub style pub. Four real ales on an...

Last thing we heard

was from a leaflet given out at the station, a mockup of a timetable that listed Folkestone Central, Folkestone West (renamed Folkestone Parkway), Sandling, Ashford, then on to somewhere like Ebbsfleet, Stratford and London Kings Cross... I posted th...

Julia Sawalha

I saw her getting off the circle line at kings cross station the other day. She was holding hands with a bloke that wasn't much of a looker, certainly no jonathan creek. She looked good though.

The Bufftings take London (again)

Folkestone's own The Bufftings play Kings Cross Water Rats tomorrow (Saturday 5th November), and I only just found out. This means it will be quieter in Chambers...Anyone got any advice for where to go for a bonfire?...

Carnage on the underground

Well hopefully no actual bloodshed, but there's been chaos on the way in this morning... Got to London Bridge to find it jammed, most of the ticket barriers closed. Eventually got through the barrier as they turned off all down the escalators - I gue...

Hey welcome aboard

How do the times compare then? Going into Victoria sounds like it ought to be faster somehow. I'm finding going in via London Bridge and home again via Cannon Street to be quite convenient, but the actual journey is slower... I'm praying for the days...

High speed rail link confirmed (again)

I thought this high speed link to Folkestone was already confirmed? A chum in the world of news just sent this:The SRA announced that the following stations will be served by high-speed CTRL domestic services: Ramsgate, Minster, Sturry, Canterbury We...

V Festival latest

I've been quiet today, beavering busily on busted balance sheets, so HEY! Here's some news written by someone else; The Killers, Deepest Blue and Syntax have been added to the V Festival lineup... An old workmate of mine is in Syntax, friend to the s...

Mark Owen

Last night the ickle gorgeous Mark was out in glamorous Kings Cross at some gig. The little pixie was wearing a hat and left the venue at 9.40pm alone.

The lead singer from The Fine Young Cannibals��

He was swimming. I am 95% sure it was him, however I can't be too sure as you don't stare too long at people in swimming pools in Kings Cross.

Jayne Middlemarch

The booted and gloved ex-ozone presenter sat opposite moi on the southbound Northern Line tube (Bank branch, because the Charing X branch still ain't working) between Chalk Farm and Kings Cross, just after 6pm on Mon 1 March.Edited by (61402), Thu 4...

Jonny Greenwood

Radiohead axe hero, on the very same underground platform as me, how exciting! He and a young friend boarded the Northern Line there, and headed South to Kings Cross, as did I. Now I come to think about it, I expect he's been following me around, wai...

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 ...

Lucas Arms

Lucas Arms is a great pub, if it wasn't in Kings Cross I'd go there more. Gig was good, packed out, they are a bit like Belle and Sebastian, but they're tighter live. The support I saw was Sister Vanilla, aggressive girl fronted indie, a bit frighten...

Camera Obscura @ Kings Cross Water Rats

Dunno what the actors name is, but he played Gary Mallet in Corrie. He still has his mullet and was enjoying a pint outside Coopers, the pub at Kings Cross train station yesterday evening.

Chrissie Hynde

She went to see Jeevas (Crispin Mills New band).
