Maybe this is the sort of place I should have bought

Having a scan of 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 lot cl...

What sort of shop, any idea?

Can't think what sort of shops we want in town really, there seem to be too many selling tat down that way... Something nice and cosmopolitan I think, selling continental magazines and coffee at eight pounds a cup!

Black Friday

LARGE apologies for the crash yesterday... Everyone should have had their shares restored, so that portfolios look as they did yesterday morning, before the crash...Basically, things are as fixed as they're going to be...Now would be a good time for ...

The Wonderstuff - Half of

Last night I took a trip back in TIME. Just stepped through the doors and it was the early '90s again. Some people at the Forum last night looked as if they'd been in hibernation since then.Support band Big Yoga Muffin were good, but looked suspiciou...

Curse of popEx LIFTED!

Remember Videotech? And especially how they ran a feature on how flippin' GRATE popEx is? Well Videotech has mutated into a new show, called "The Base", and it's coming back to TV very soon...A new feature this season is LIVE BANDS, not just videos, ...

Is it me, or...

Is popEx making some kind of TWISTED SENSE for once? The new "Most Expensive Artist" chart, in the stats section is slightly less rubbish than the rest of the site. While everyone is going "Kiss Krazy", this new chart is an oasis (sorry) of calm, dig...

Morrissey and Marr back in charts!

Not actually them, performing together, but one of their tunes at least... Snake River Conspiracy release The Smiths' "How Soon Is Now" on Monday...You might have heard it as the theme music to the TV show Charmed...If you're interested in the lyrics...

Last night ROCKED!

All three bands were ace, the Barfly was heaving... Kennedy Soundtrack are like Rage Against The Machine or something, but their singer went a bit Manson in places...Span look all new wave, but sound fierce. I dont' know how to describe them, but the...

Got New Years sorted?

There's a monster mash up at the Monarch AND the Enterprise, so if you're coming to London, come along - 1 ticket / 2 venues / 4 rooms / 10 quid! Featuring: Classic Guitar Cuts from the 60's to 90's [Beatles, Bowie, Blondie, Blur, etc], Indie Favouri...

PopEx is FINNISHED!

Put your backs into it The UK, PopEx appears to be dominated at the moment by a Consortium from Finland... I've been watching the control panel closely and I'm seeing a lot of clever trading going on from these punters.Mmm, digging radio 80s right no...

Annoying copy protection

I'm trying to listen to the Star Spangles and Motor Ace too, but they both want to do things to my computer, so I miss out. And they miss out on the review.

Some sort of monster gig at Dingwalls

There's a bit of a show at Dingwalls tomorrow (Wednesday) night that is sounding good... I don't have all the details, but it sounds like Parva are playing, as are The Ex-Models, The Sights, The Rocks, The Hiss, M.A.S.S. and possibly more...There's t...

Love on the roof

Partook of a truly historic barbecue this evening, on the roof of a record shop of all places. I started off with some vegetable kebabs, huge chunks of aubergine, courgette, onion and something suspicious. At first it looked like fish, but then Mrs P...

Sort of rock

Hello, just listening to Reuben's "Stuck in My Throat" EP, it's out on November the 10th. Sounds sort of half Nirvana, half Feeder, very brit-rock, a bit dull, not for me today...Reuben are playing live right now:Reuben @ Escape, Swansea, West Glamor...

Sort of an American take on Knightmare:

Folkestone - seventh best holiday resort in the UK

From the Guardian:Sam Hill, spokeswoman for the Camping and Caravanning Club, which has an amazing 400,000 members in the UK (most of them stuck in front of me on the motorway), recommends Folkestone and the Kent coast. "It's gorgeous," she says. "Th...

You expect this sort of thing in the wild midlands though

YEAH, earthquake done broke my neck! No, I'm going to try and rotate it...

Folkestone triennial

Bit of a tongue in cheek story here in the Guardian about the launch of folkestone triennial (is that an art festival every three years?). Particularly hilarious is their attempt to compare Folkestone with Venice towards the end of the article... I r...

There does seem to be some sort of local connection here

I recognise some names on http://www.channelwebscene.co.uk, but the site itself is a bit short of detail, and so was that introductory post... care to come back and tell us any more?

Got your new years eve tickets sorted?

There's always Elton John at the O2 if you haven't... I see Gate 28 are doing tickets, a fiver only though. What is going on elsewhere?Also, really does no-one have an opinion on who they'd like to play Folkestone?...

A Christmas of sorts, and why doesn't the Whole World Cafe want customers?

Friday, got properly into the Christmas season, went to "A Christmas Of Sorts" at the Whole World Cafe, and it was brilliant! Was not quite sure what to expect from the gig before hand, but it really was ace, if you get the chance to see A Carnival O...

Invited to a do at the Quarterhouse

SORT OF been invited to this do. Someone more important than me can't make it and I might go in their place:The Creative Foundation has pleasure in inviting you to a special reception to celebrate the opening of Quarterhouse, Folkestone�s new perform...

@collingsa and @herring1967 "live" "podcast" today

Guess they are recording live and twittering throughout chpod hastag. These things tend to go wrong, check out the amount of retweeting and spam cluttering the thing up already. Probably better to share an account and have people just follow that acc...

Happy birthday Harry

Well sort of, Harry is five months old today. He seems to have been here forever. He's a bit peaky today actually, his head felt hot yesterday when we got in, so took his temperature on a digital thermometer and it beeped and flashed red. Not a good ...

Starbucks at Stop 24 is closing

That's the starbucks at the ghost town services at Junction 11 of the M20 (the Folkestone Races junction). Staff have been told, the gossip hit the office on Friday but only just got to me this morning... that solves my problem of trying not to go in...

Bonus day off!

Well not really a bonus day off, I will probably end up dipping into next year's holiday allocation for this, but I got car trouble.I knew there was something up with the car Sunday, screeching noise from the brakes, hopefully just the brake pads. Bo...

My review of the fight!

No, my review of The Editors at the Leas Cliff Hall. Already too much time has passed for me to do this justice, I can just about remember what I just ate for my lunch (pie, roast vegetables, peas, sweetcorn, lovely) and the gig was on Tuesday. Went ...

Sorted out my banking

There's a job that has needed doing for a while. I have an ISA and a savings account, and because of the sneaky way banks work I have been getting no interest on either of them for a while. You open an account at one rate of interest, then after a ye...

Gene

A work freebie, we nearly didn't get in because I couldn't prove I was who I was claiming to be (I wasn't). A charity contribution sorted it out...

Stereophonics

Lawks, is it some sort of warm up? I don't like them but it's a big deal for Folkestone I suppose. Get in! Getting tickets just in case the support is good. Ooh, SOLD OUT already!
