Good weekend, rubbish episode of Lost

Nice weekend, Emma was visiting, we sat about quite a lot, and went to Chambers (via a very brief look in at The Bank Bar) on the Saturday night. Did not eat out all weekend (cue "but if you don't owt you'll die!"), can't remember the last time I had...

Quiet few days

Had a lovely weekend, disastrous in terms of house hunting, but great in every other ways. We didn't get to see any houses this weekend, there don't seem to be any on the market really that fit our requirements. We saw a couple of new houses online t...

Lost: bit annoying

Watched the new episode, hope you enjoy it if you watch it tonight. I'm convinced the story's still being made up as it goes along, and that there won't be any actual answers by the end of the show. Some new ideas introduced, I'll probably stick with...

Beer and rugby

Got a good weekend lined up I think, not going to Canterbury this week, though I will be in a Canterbury frame of mind as I'm seeing a mortgage advisor Saturday morning to see what we can do. Then, it's Dover beer festival, either going there at lunc...

his foot did come up off the ground

but he must have been as near as damnit to touching the line, which is enough for it not to be a try I think.Anyway, onward and upward, when's the six nations..?...

Bah !

That was clearly a try, his knee was still in when the ball went over the line. The video ref had taken a bung I reckon.To be fair, South Africa played the better rugby.. we certainly didn't disgrace ourselves and can be proud of second place. The ma...

What rugby?

You forgot to bless the boot didn't you... A good game anyway, and we did well to get to the final. Perhaps an iffy decision on that disallowed try, but perhaps not.A good day yesterday too, just for a change we had lunch in Wagamama in Canterbury, b...

Going to Wagamama this weekend?

Rah, so are we. We were off to Canterbury anyway though we might not have had time for a sit down lunch, but this two for one voucher just about swung it for us. Possibly we will be forgoing our Saturday afternoon game of Trivial Pursuit at The Dolph...

Bless The Boot

Bless the boot, come on England. Really looking forward to this tomorrow, like every other part time England fan. I would not say we have a chance really, but you never know. Personally I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a food poisoning outbreak at...

RE: Rugby, RESULT

You need a PVR. I have been watching Saturday Kitchen on days that are not Saturday for a long time now, could not live without my Freeview PVR!

RE: Rugby, RESULT

Bloody Nigella! I watched her for the first time the other week and I too wanted to kick the TV in. That's not a cookery show, it's a show where a woman talks about how much she likes eating and then eats some stuff. Anyone can arrange pre-packed foo...

Rugby, RESULT

What a great game and result on Saturday! we started off as usual with a trip to Canterbury, where there was a local food fair on, with stalls and demonstrations and things, and lots of local food producers in attendance. Got some bread and some plan...

Day of SPORT

No, more likely day of EATING, with SPORT for dessert. Don't suppose we'll see any of the England v Estonia game today though you never know, we will be in Canterbury. There's some kind of food fair on in Dane John gardens, which is near the bus stat...

Fullsome weekender

Fairly action packed weekend for me really, surprise meal for Clare's folks for their ruby wedding on Friday, we went to The Jackdaw. I had exotic mushroom paella, it was a bit dull really but a nice night out anyway. Most other people loved their fo...

What no comments all week? Really?

I am not a needy blogger, but come on... is there something up with the site? I know there usually is, but at least one message gets through eventually.Got quite an action packed weekend lined up, including lunch and shopping and rugby watching in Ca...

Didn't go to Canterbury all weekend!

Imagine that... Overslept Sunday morning, so we went to Escondido for lunch instead. The chef got my food wrong again, so for the second time in a row mine came free, that's nice. Apparently Escondido weren't quite recovered from a disaster the previ...

Weekend good

The rugby was obviously attrocious, what a poor start to the weekend, but hey at least it was the weekend from that point onwards. As usual we headed to Canterbury, Clare on a slightly earlier bus than me so she could do some shopping, then Wagamamas...

Hot weekend

Weekend was ace wasn't it? We started with a lunchtime pint with work at a nice pub called The Drum, then a few drinks just the wife and me. Saturday we headed to The Whole World Cafe, and what do you know it was actually open this time? We were a bi...

Delivery excitement

The wife just reminded me that we have our new furniture arriving today, that's exciting! I say furniture, it's our sideboard for the TV to go on.Got a good weekend planned too, back to Blakes, and watching the rugby in Dover before that.More TV rela...

Folkestone on TV

Well, Sandgate anyway. Shornecliffe Redoubt was on this week's Time Team, and they found precisely none of what they were looking for... they did stop for a pint in The Ship though.Grand weekend, after the rugby and an early dinner we went on a bit o...

Weekend of sports

The Rugby was great, made for quite a long and tiring day, but a fabulous experience being there for an international. The Wales v France game put paid to either England or Ireland winning the 6 Nations so it wasn't quite such an important game. I'd ...

Off to Twickenham today

It's going to take a while to get there (gotta get a bus to Ashford), but not this long I don't think - half hour to walk from Waterloo East to Waterloo?Sure to be that sort of pace on the way home though... Look out for us on the TV!...

Happy St Patricks Day

Obviously I'm taking this getup to the rugby tomorrow - if by some mad chance France get convincingly beaten, then England only need to win by something like 50 points, so I'll strip down to my union jack pants and cheer them home. Otherwise we are f...

Look who's stalking now

With massive props to Inspector Sands, this is something I should have done with my very own Stalking Heads a long time ago. I have the powers, I have the spottings, I have the locations, bah, missed the boat a bit there... I could go back and geocod...

Boo... RAH!

I thought with the film coming out and everything, about now would be a peak value time for my old V for Vendetta comics. I've never sold anything else when I maybe should have done (like the first Darkness single), I always hang on too long until th...

So, super weekend

After my little Down Street excursion, we had a great weekend. Technically it was extended by half a day, but it felt very quick indeed... Started off giving the twins their birthday presents round ours, they turned five already, and seemed mostly pl...

International Women's Rugby

RFU.com has it that there's a Folkestone player, Catherine Spencer in the England squad - you live and learn. It's not just Sian Reddick holding up Folkestone's international sporting name......

golf? rugby?

Apart from that they've got you down pretty close... Why don't you have satellite or cable?

The Marquee

Found the ticket now! I went to the gig on my own, then got the last train up to Rugby, where I was staying for college. Can't find details anywhere online. Much stage diving, one of my favourite gig.s
