Fig Cafe RIP

AARGH, can't believe it, got down to Folkestone only to find the Fig Cafe has been closed! We're not sure if it's permanent or just for refitting of its host the Metropole. Could well imagine it going out of business, seemed a bit niche, but we loved it. And had decided to eat there at every opportunity.
Went to La Parisienne (AKA Bonkers) last night, it was truly shite, 8 quid to get in and a fiver for a beer too. Went to the Harp Club the night before on the other hand, and it was ace and metal, really dirty pint in there though, there's something just not right when a pint of bitter smells like cider. Saw a band called Suffer My Desire in there, again very metal, a bit like Pantera, very powerful four piece, worth seeing again. Also went in Wetherspoons, as usual full of punters on the edge of underagedness, who all look a bit punchy, but the prices make up for it, and also Skuba, which was crap. Looked like a nice terrace outside, in a nice location, but it's a bar rather than a pub. Liking www.beerandtotty.co.uk, I like pub review sites.
Going back to Folkestone at the weekend for the Air Show, and to walk the sunny streets looking at houses that I CAN afford, it's so different to London...

Rate Suede
Suede play London, 12th of December, bit steep though... do I do nothing but complain about costs? Am I mean? At least it's a proper gig that we have a chance of getting tickets to, after the fiasco that was the ICA.

Popex has been down at the weekend, the box hasn't been right since it was moved - a new logging process seems to have been started, I deleted the file and there was some unattached data filling up the hard disk. Might not be though. Barfly admin thing has also been misbehaving, since being disconnected during the virus problems. Got lots of sendmail processes and a huge syslogd hanging around.
Are there any doctor's surgeries in Stokey?
There's a surgery on Statham Grove apparently, down the bottom of Stoke Newington Church Street. The only other mention I could find of one doesn't give it's name and says it's closed to new patients. Isn't Hackney GREAT?
