Ever feel lacking in skills?

I do, all my skills are in software, if the power went off tomorrow I'd be SUNK! I wish I had more hardware skills, not just computer hardware, but general mechanics and making and fixing things. Here's an interesting article along those lines from w...

So this is who I was bidding against in that last Harry Clarke auction

I bought a 1931 copy of Hans Anderson's Fairy Tales on ebay the other day for about twenty quid. It's in terrible condition (though I've mostly reassembled it) and some of the black and white illustrations have been crayoned in by a child, BUT, all o...

Why park sensibly...

Tales of Edgar Allen Poe

See this ebay auction, loads of really good scans of Harry Clarke illustrations there, worth checking out out just for those, even if you don't bid... In fact, please don't bid, because I might.There is a much later reprint available, that's too high...

He looks like a great artist though

Or, he scans in great pictures that other people have painted. Maybe I will be the subject of a masterpiece! Or, maybe the guy I saw yesterday in the skip outside my house was him.

Bella Pizza

Service was unprofessional, rude, arrogant and unapologetic. My wife and I did not spend more than 5 minutes in the restaurant before we walked out. We have eaten in restaurants in Florence, Siena and other parts of Tuscany, and have never met such a...

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

Interesting pop chart changes afoot, now downloads are eligible for the chart even if there is no corresponding CD single available. As this is a relatively new technology, changes are happening all the time I'm sure, but this is quite a meaty one. W...

MARC BOLAN & T.REX LIVE IN FOLKESTONE

Great review and pictures of a Folkestone T-Rex gig, unfortunately it's all in German. Maybe I will translate it...Got some other Folkestone 1975 gig history from a scanned in poster on that site though, including K.C and the Sunshine Band, Judas Pri...

Sofa not so good

Our new sofa is not arriving tomorrow now, I think they just realised about the clash with the football... so, rearranged for Tuesday which is the only day they will do, and it's not terribly convenient for us :-( Still, means the footie, and our lu...

School's out for, ooh, a long time now

Going through some old photos now I have a scanner, here's my infant school lineup:[[http://static.flickr.com/59/166633373_32afcd8353.jpg] Portchester Northern Infants School Class 5]]Google have released a web version of Picasa, their photo organis...

Got me a new computer

Got myself a Dell, twin core and about a hundred times more powerful than what we're using now, plus the ability to burn and things. Not going the full media center route yet, might put a TV card in it later though. Arriving some time next week, can'...

Welcome to Miami!

Or, rather, from Miami, or even (by the time I write this up) hello from England, Miami sends its regards. Just BACK from a trip to the US of States to visit Clare's bro and sister-in-law in the pan-handle bit of the Americas. Tiring flight over to M...

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...

Danke schon!

I will add these other gigs to the Tofts history page. It's good to have a confirmed address for the venue, some actual listings are great - do you have any more leaflets / flyers from Tofts? It would be Wunderbar to get one scanned in......

Lots of new things!

Starting with a https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&category=Entertainment&id=1327 grocery list manager for Firefox... it's a weird one, but it might just work, all week I'm in front of the computer thinking about f...

RE: Didn't get an aerial fitted then...

Be careful about"higher numbers" for HDTV - as you need to see if the figure is for a "progressive" or "interlaced" picture. For example, 1080i (1920x1080 interlaced) isn't as good as 1080p (1920x1080 progressive) as it takes two scans in the former...

It was in the property supplement with the paper

Maybe I'll scan it in and put it up here. Wasn't sure if they'd put the property supplement bits on the site...

My gigography

Getting there with my gigography now, a list of every gig I've been to, from 1987 up to last year. It's a natural progression from my Best Gigs Ever post. Well that's the theory, but there's A LOT missing. I have chucked in details from the big bag o...

Next step is to dig out some old pictures Les!

If you can scan them in email them to me, fg at folkestonegerald.com and I'll maybe put them up.

Apple - Are you fed up with them too ?

So, after 16 months of owning a G3 iPod, I�m thinking of giving it all up and going back to CDs�My first replacement was swapped out by Apple Europe quite quickly - they picked up from my office on Monday, and a new, brown-boxed Pod was on my desk by...

Maybe this is the sort of place I should have bought

Having a scan of www.homes-on-line.com for Folkestone property, and found only one property - this. I'm sure this is already sold, can't believe it's only 250k, that's the sort of place I should probably have gone for, some income potential, and a lo...

Got no scanner

and only the phone on my camera to hand. Basically they're saying Justin badmouthed the Band Aid single from the stage in Manchester, because he was replaced on the single by Bono.

i cant

read that very well...fancy scanning it a bit betterer?

Il Bacio

Next time could you scan the menu and post that as well as I can never find mine.

Cheers

Well, that's how I found you, Pauly

put up a mention of the Smiths on the web, and I'll find it fairly quickly ...

Does Your Heart Go Boom?

Not sure if it's possible to have a more sad indie-boy day than I'm having today... Clare's at work, so I'm taking some time out to reorganise all my Helen Love MP3's, when I should probably be shopping, tidying up and cleaning all the drunken scrawl...

Come Together

Much as I like the enormous scanned in images sort of jigged about a bit, this is the sort of music video that Flash was meant for

Astoria

Rescheduled from 6/6/97 I think. Huge drunken night, I possibly broke my elbow, I will scan the picture in of it...
