Our actual first day in Key West

I realise that my previous post about our first day in Key West a) didn't contain any info, b) had things from our second day on the map, and c) has slipped down the page and no-one will read it. So here at last is the first part of our journey. Clar...

Cure tickets

Cure tickets are on their way, though of course I didn't buy them from ebay at a vastly inflated markup, I got them from Ticketbastard at a vastly inflated markup instead. Thirty five pounds each for the ticket, then another fiver each in ticketbasta...

I wouldn't take it personally...

...I just thought you had a huge range of styles and I didn't *personally* like the one of Bruce Willis (it doesn't look finished either?). I'm allowed an opinion right? I can't play football at the level required for my country but I'm still allowe...

Robot vs robot

So which robot is best then? This running footballer from Japan?Or this genuinely monstrous droid that I snapped at the Kent Show last year? Which one is more human like, and more importantly which one is more robot like?Thanks to Stu for the feeble ...

Quiet night in Folkestone

Saturday we went on a bit of tour of Folkestone, just to remind us and our visitor Emma of some of the less salubrious joints in town. We were originally going to head into Hythe and get a curry, but Emma already had a dinner lined up, so decided to ...

Really bad and sad news about Paul Hunter, he was only 27 and had just become a dad, should have known things were very serious when his ranking was frozen earlier this year, that's an unusual move, though we really thought and hoped he'd recover.Als...

RE: The Sandgate Hotel,

Hi thereWell as you probably know the Sandgate Hotel closed down for a refit (coincidentally not long after the Ramsay Kitchen Nightmare programme). So was interested to go there when it reopened. It now looks much better inside - they've knocked thr...

(UPDATE: That's not how I'd sum up the whole weekend, just the post football feeling)

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...

We don't really go out any more

Another smashing weekend, is it time for the next one yet? Saturday I played with the computer most of the day. Had no joy fitting the old big hard drive full of MP3s into the new computer, all the technology is different, the drive is SATA now so I'...

Obligatory world cup post

Pig farm to open in Fareham

Another action packed weekender

The new computer est arriv�! Had no time to play with it yet as it's been such a busy weekend, and so had no time to get pictures off the camera yet, so my weekend diarisation and explanation is without illustration so far, sorry (see pictures by my ...

RE: Is there a lawyer in the house?

What?? 12 months??? That's some contract, are you secretly a premiership footballer?

RE: Cheers

Sorry, yeah, it needs at least 2.5. Not sure if you like football, but I bought FIFA06 and took it back and got Pro Evo 5, which is truely amazing by comparison. Don't bother with Prince of Persia...it's bug ridden and frustrating as hell!I bought a ...

I like Shed Boat Shed

This was my favourite of the Turner Prize Entries, it really stood out, a deserved winner I reckon. I clearly didn't like it enough to blog about it, but I swear I picked it out at the beginning. Also Antony and the Johnsons, I tipped them to win the...

I aspire to a gold card, but I struggle to pay off my debts

What's your postcode saying behind your back? Mine's not being very complementary at all:Incomes are quite low. People have average educational qualifications. Their relatively routine jobs are in shops and offices, and there is some unemployment. Wi...

30 quid each, bargain!

Got a comment, by email pointing out some numbers regarding a response... 1.7 billion is only 30 quid for every man, woman and child in the country. Perhaps we could all have a wristband?

The Usual Suspects
