RE: We saw this

Didn't get any here - I've seen them before in Canada. When it's really cold the halo effect is produced by ice crystals high in the atmosphere. Not sure whether than can happen in Florida but if you go high enough I guess it's cold enough for ice ...

Time Travel

came across this site by accident and started reading stuff,then looked at your little film of the snow.I was in Folkestone the same day, as Andy (my husband) and I often visit Folkestone and combine a bit of shopping and being by the sea(one of our ...

Heavy snow both ends

Just back from the parents, we had heavy snow there at 8am this morning that settled, probably 3 or 4 inches deep in an hour, very nice to see but a bit terrifying, we thought it was there for the duration and we'd not be able to get back to Folkesto...

Mighty Easter weekender, with The Cure

Hope you've all had as good an extended weekend as I have. As is usual when I've been off for a few days and not written up just went on immediately, I'm starting to forget it all. We're up now, on the last day of our five day break and I have a few ...

Fareham plays its part in the war on tourism

A local story that was doing the rounds yesterday about a couple being banned from Fareham shopping centre for life (for taking photos of their grandchildren) was picked up by Boing Boing. Apparently the guard who threw them out said they posed a ter...

Ooh, we got snow already

Should be quite a slippy slide home tonight. I'm GLAD, Clare is off work sick today, this is sure to affect the trains... If I go out and make a snowman tonight, I'll be sure and post up a picture.

Lovely day

The promised snow is here, falling quite heavily here in Folkestone, but turning to cold slushy rain just before it hits the ground.

Yeah we had some snow today

Here's a friend I see every morning on my walk to work:See also my walk into work, and my new office....

Mail bomber hits Folkestone

Everyone's picked up on this mail bomber story, not sure why a house in Folkestone has been linked in to this though... The Sun says:On February 3, another device was sent to the home of security boss Michael Wingfield, 53, in Folkestone, Kent.Mr Win...

Snow today

Snow overnight, enough to cancel all trains heading out of Folkestone, so Clare had to work from home today. Apart from watching TV and shopping, I seem to have spent most of the day cooking a black bean and sweet potato chilli. And it's not very goo...

No snow here

Had a few pictures emailed and texted in from friends and family about the place of their snowy gardens and the like. Just very cold here, and mostly clear, though I can see some low lying cloud or heavy fog up on the hills.On the top of both fog and...

I was looking for a job, and then I found a job

No posts for a few days, I had something to say but wanted to wait until I got an official confirmation and things. Yes I'm back in the land of the permanently employed, just arranged some final details today and I start at Holiday Extras on Monday! ...

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...

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...

The TV card is DVB-T and analogue

It has the two tuners in there... when it's on analogue I can pick up snowy terrestrial channels and nothing from the video, when it's on digital I can get nothing at all, though on my other TV (which has a built in digital receiver) I get good recep...

RE: Ooh, snowing here

I was driving back from Staines today chasing the snow all the way back to Fareham. Had about 15 minutes of snow in Fareham which was nice.

Ooh, snowing here

BUMS!

Motley Crue are supporting Guns'n'Roses in Dublin this Summer, and we're at a wedding that day! G'n'R are playing Download Festival too, can't imagine the 'Crue playing that though. Will there be a normal London date? Will we go? Can't see it...Today...

Working from home

I think this is the fifth attempt to get some decent reception and extra channels at home, with a day spent out of work for someone each time. It's only the second attempt from the current aerial and satelleite services supplier, and I have every con...

RE: Flipping Big Television

Hey cool, nice to see you made the decision and bought one. Where's it going to go? Above that swanky modern fire of yours? Let me know when you get your Free Sat installed and then I'll bother to come visit again (REAL TV in your house at last, no...

And a clearer view

Here's another view out of the window, not through the boozy vision of the wireless camera this time though. Still not a very clear day, and still quite a bit of snow around.Folkestone viewMore in my flickr photos...Not too much to do this weekend, s...

Let it snow let it snow let it snow

Forgot to say earlier, there were a few flecks of snow this morning while we were waiting for the train, and I've just heard it's still going. You can just make it out on this grab from my camera:Not too clear there in the failing light but BRILLIAN...

IPOD pants

IPOD pants, Levi's possibly making a pair of fully wired jeans. There are a few things like this around already, but a pair of jeans is more practical around the home / office / high street than a bulky snowboard coat or rucksack. Oh and there's a ne...

PSP update

I updated Clare's PSP yesterday, it's now got a new version of it's little operating system, which you can download direct from Sony. As well as some security issues and the ability to play Windows Media files now, it's got an RSS reader too. I hope ...

RE: And two eyes made out of, er, sprouts

I'm so jealous and almost half tempted to move to Folkestone so we can experience some more snow - we just about had a covering of snow and then it all turned to rain within hours and washed away... no fair.

And two eyes made out of, er, sprouts

Us in the snow today in the in-laws garden, Clare took the picture that's why she's missing... We really did have an amazing amount of snow here in Folkestone, more than I've seen in years. Four or five inches fell overnight, on top of whatever fell ...

We do have a lot of snow here today, this is from lst year though - got to do some downloading and jigging about to get the pics off my camera, and some setting up to get my new christmas camera online; got it working wiredly (for a few minutes yeste...

RE: Charlotte Church Hoax

I have no clue how it got started with the press, but on ebay I heard it was an April fools joke played on the first seller by a mate, it just snowballed from there.

RE: Queen/Andy Fraser death rumors!

Official statement in response to rumors -"I have been made aware of recent stories across the media and internet reporting my death last month. This has understandably caused friends and family to make frantic calls, left them shaken, sobbing and in...
