Michael Jackson black or white doll

A friend is selling one on ebay, guess it's one of these... I thought he said he was going to get about �400 quid for it though, doh! Who'd have thought EVERYONE was selling theirs at the same time..?...

RE: Transport means from gatwick airport

We generally do the train, I think coaches might be tricky... train up to London Bridge (not the express, that will be more expensive) and then down to Folkestone, OR you can go via Redhill and Tonbridge - might be cheaper as you are avoiding London....

Transport means from gatwick airport

Hi all!

I am travelling to Folkestone in August, so Iwas wondering which is the cheapest way to get there from Gatwick Airport.
Thanxxxxx in advance!!!

jquery not browser compliant enough for the BBC

It's political correctness gone mad!BBC explains here, this is GLOW, JQuery is DA BOMB! It's good for the BBC to innovate, but I'm not sure it's in anyone's interest (or the best use of license payer funds) to try to compete with EVERYBODY....

Retired ottoman!

The retired ottoman! Rarely seen! This piece is no longer available! Am I sounding like one of those mad beanie baby collectors?Also just listed two of those chairs I want, collect from Reading, collect the Ottoman from Poole.Harry has apparently bee...

Back at work

Gone through all my emails, there are a few too many "... and we'll leave that until Paul gets back" for my liking, but it could have been worse. If they'd managed to do everything without me I'd be expendable, don't want that.It's hard being back aw...

Can't believe I'm back in work tomorrow

I've been off with Harry for just about FOUR WEEKS now, this is amazing! I've not only forgotten what it is I do at work, I'm not entirely sure where it is any more. Luckily my neighbour works there, saw her today, they were having a very sophisticat...

Strange ebay shop

These are not just adverts, these are original adverts for products you will recognise, hand cut from pages of the NME and the Melody Maker, and lovingly posted to you in a cardboard tube. Um, yes, bargain. Plenty of old NMEs around, cut out all the ...

Cool baby grows

If only babies didn't grow so fast, and need changing every ten minutes, these Slayer and AC/DC baby grows would be cool! Or there are loads of cool (but too expensive, including postage) at www.punkbabyclothes.net. Maybe not this one particularly:I ...

Can only find first class high speed rail travel from Folkestone to London so far

See the journey planner, just testing it out with a commuter type service on Monday, I can only find first class tickets available for the new high speed rail link. And even then I can't find a train that gets me there particularly quickly. Can see o...

Remember all those stories in the news about family tax credit being RUBBISH?

Just registering for family tax credit, well Clare is. Had to phone up to get a form, the guy on the phone asked our income now taking into account the fact Clare is on maternity, and we'll get about twenty quid a week probably. That's just the estim...

RT @renyard mpressed with the new high speed train. Taken 45 mins off my commute!

So does this mean the new high speed rail link is up and running for everyone now? From Ashford to London only I'm guessing, that's the bit of the journey where you'd notice the biggest difference anyway......

Folkestone - the place of dreams

Only 1100 views of this video so far, and it was the lead story in the local paper last week! Quite a good job done on this I think, good work whoever you are. It's generated some debate....

Portchester Castle mentioned in the Telegraph today

Some ghostly nonsense, spoon fed to them by English Heritage:At Portchester Castle, in Portsmouth Harbour, a member of staff heard the sound of horses' hooves and then saw a riderless horse emerge from the walls of the castle, race across the area wi...

Good bath last night

Harry enjoyed his bath last night I think, kept him in there for ages, supporting his head and letting him float a bit. He likes the bath, but then gets a bit stressed when it's time to get out and get dried.Watched more Glastonbury yesterday, looked...

Maybe I'll make it to the NEXT Frog and Frigate reunion...

Started to panic about the night out down The Frog. I would be leaving Clare and Harry for a long time, and be too far away from them and not able to get back in a hurry. Thought just staying in Fareham would be the better option and I'd be home earl...

There's always a huge death rumour on Glastonbury weekend

Every year at Glastonbury there is a rumour going round that a major celebrity has died! Generally it's Cliff Richard though!So where were you when you heard Michael Jackson had died? I can tell you I was RIGHT HERE, in this room, looking at my phone...

Don't forget it's an old school night at the Frog and Frigate tomorrow

Some people are calling it a reunion, but I think it's going to be more like one of those "songs from the war" type nights that they have at the Leas Cliff Hall. Doesn't start until 10pm, lordy, we used to go at about 6pm back in the day...Hmm, they ...

Glastonwhat?

Would be great to be at Glastonbury again this year if the weather stays like this. And if I wasn't so old, and if we didn't have a not quite three week old to look after. This year's lineup looks pretty good.Looks like Glastonbury 2003 was my last G...

Could these baby gadgets cancel each other out?

Now we have Slumber Bear I wonder if he will cause some sort of conflict with the Babysense monitor? We have both, and they are both great, but I wonder... Babysense monitor gives a warning and then an alarm goes off if baby gets out of bed / cot / p...

Slumber bear has been dispatched

Hope this is not hitman slang and that it means Slumber Bear is on his way. Probably it's too late to be tricking Harry with somethign like this, he's just about two weeks old now.Had a great few hours in the middle of the day, paid a surprise visit ...

Foster Gearing's virtual reality zoom around our Creative Quarter
