The only pub around with an indoor smoking area?

Went to the Skuba Bar last night and sat in their new conservatory for the first time. We had two smokers with us who were very pleased to see they've found some kind of loophole against the smoking ban. The walls of the conservatory can be opened ri...

Speaking of tipping, see what tipped over

This tree tipped up in the high winds I guess:That's the terrace / smoking area of The Bank Bar under that tree, don't suppose there was anyone sat out there with today's weather anyway. This looked fresh, it must have only just happened. Snapped tod...

Went to Go Ape at Leeds Castle on Friday, bit of a work jolly. None of the pictures or video really came out that well, but here is me on a zip line / death slide / flying fox.It was great! Some pictures to come too.As a reward for watching my video...

Where'd the weekend go?

In fact where did the week go since I last had something to write about? Had plenty going on, I put it down to trying to learn the guitar, and the tips of my fingers are in far too much pain to type, so sorry if I go a bit slowly.If anyone has any go...

Do not recycle from last night's Dio show

Foo Fighters tour rider, quite amusing. I didn't even know there were nine vegans.

Great weekend

Splendid birthdays thanks, we had a meal at Escondido and drinks at The Ship just for a specially rare birthday treat, then also our work festival on Saturday with bands and barbecue and things, all free, they really put in an effort. Saturday night ...

Quiz action

Didn't go see the band in Hythe last night, did the quiz at The Grand instead. It's an easy one, so though we did quite well, we didn't do well enough. We dropped six questions out of 36, two on our vital joker round, so no meal for four prize for us...

Folkestone on popbitch

Not real popbitch (ie the popbitch newsletter), just something someone just posted on the board. I repeat it here for your delectation and delight:Meanwhile, on the last train out of Charing Cross on Saturday night...Your actual Cheryl Baker out of B...

RE: Browncoats Rise Again. The fund-raising drive to revive Joss Whedon's Firefly.

Yeah, idiot smokers who think that even though they've been told for the past 20 odd years that smoking causes cancer, that's ok - they can continue to smoke and if they get cancer they can sue the cigarette companies. Have they SEEN the adverts on ...

Thanks for that brief but useful comment...

If anyone out there can offer any more info along these lines about any of the venues here, that'll really help with the map; accomodation, booze, real ale, children welcome, dartboard, dj, food, garden, jukebox, live music, pool table, vegetarian fo...

New Bluggcast

There's a new Bluggcast, I listened on the way in today. Still a bit squeamish about the funny voice concept, but check it out. On a not entirely unrelated note, Jon, stop talking over Jo! She's much more interesting than you...From their show I lear...

Damn I had a really good headline in mind for this

SO, went to Ireland at the weekend, and it was very nice! Here will follow my little review of where we went and what we did, and things I recommend and things I don't.Friday morning we had a wedding meeting at Lympne Castle, TOO EARLY, and too many ...

Le commute

Got stuck with someone REALLY ANNOYING in our carriage today, she jibbered and jabbered all the way in. SHUT UP, surely the first carriage is the quiet one? I think it's time to make some "No Talking" stickers to go next to the "No Smoking" signs, se...

Are you smoking what we're smoking?

Google maps is brilliant, but oh my, what happens if you search for hard drugs in Folkestone, see who's first on the list...

Food & Smoking in Italy

I am afraid those tourists who only find Pasta or Pizza in Italy are walking into the easy establishments,their version of Mcdonalds (although they have Big Macs too). Italians only eat Pasta as a first course and there are so many other dishes of gr...

Gazza

I was in Camden market (antiquey bit) on Sunday and sitting outside Chris Evans' stall (saw him too but not that interesting) was Gazza. He was smoking a fag and had a starbucks coffee. How skinny is that man now?

Paul Nicholls

On Wednesday lunch time, standing outside the post office on Marylebone High Street, smoking with two friends, looking absolutely delicious :-)wearing a blue trench coat.

Folkestone, safest place in the country

Folkestone gets noticed by the national news again in this story about passive smoking... A non smoking journalist crawls some pubs and measures the levels of carbon monoxide in their bloodstream... "For some reason The Harvey's Wine Bar in Folkeston...

Earth the californian love dream

Chris Middleton the Guitarist was drinking heavily in a pub yesterday. The Hogshead. I think he was drink Stella and smoking Marlboro Lights. He was with a fat bloke with glasses.

Return of the King

Up early today, maybe because we were out all last night without drinking, so feeling a bit spritelier than normal...Went to see Return of the King at Warner Village Islington, good film, though I didn't think it was better than the other two. Annoyi...

Keep smoking Justin

Still no confirmation as to whether tonight's Darkness gig is still on or not (after Liverpool, Folkestone and Portsmouth were all postponed), but I could do with it being put off for a bit... Saw AC/DC last night, also at Hammersmith Odeon Apollo, a...

A bloke off Wife Swap

You know who I mean, the black guy who was in the first series of Wife Swap, who had to put up with that horrible, stupid, racist fat pig, while his lovely wife had to sort out the teenagers from hell. He was smoking a pipe. Hmm

Broccoli

Have been recommended a recipe, apparently it is the path between tofu and brocolli from a friend who has rediscovered vegetables after giving up smoking and getting his tastebuds back. Not read it yet as farmfreshtoyou.com isn't responding here.Also...

Electric Six

recording Gonzo with Zane Lowe and smoking fags by the lock

P Diddy himself

This area is definitely posh enough for someone like Puff to be hanging out here, but I'm not sure it was really him... the smoking gun for the prosecution is that he was ON FOOT, not in a Limo... So probably it wasn't him.Sorry for wasting everyone'...

Jools Holland

Drinking Lots, smoking Stinking cigars. Same as most mondays

Pat Davern

Backstage at the festival, Pat and his friends were smoking cigarettes by the toilet. Pat was wearing a yellow baseball cap and looked like a young boy, even though he is a mature adult. I think he was drinking Jack and Coke from a can and he watched...
