I bought a thing

This is what I bought at the boot fair yesterday, but was too traumatised to write about because of squished finger:It's a valet like this one, but a bit nicer I think. It looks older than it is and I've no idea what wood it's made out of, it's been ...

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 ...

Four tables, four prices

Hmm I suspect these four dining tables are actually the same table, but you can pay between 900 and 1250 pounds for them, depending on whether you want the table with just four chairs, four chairs and a bench, five chairs and a bench, or two chairs, ...

[Crystal maze themed headline here]

Got home yesterday to find a new front door being fitted, it's amazing what you miss when you don't go to any of the residents meetings. So firstly, we have the inconvenience of only getting one key with this door, and new ones are fifteen pounds eac...

Festive Fun

Welcome back after the christmas break, hope you had a good one. We did, felt a bit quiet though, no big late nights or anything. Kind of handy really, as I'm back in work today, I volunteered to be in on these (hopefully) quiet days between christma...

If a picture paints a thousand words...

Does this video clip of us in Belgium this weekend make anything I have to say on the subject completely redundant?See, Mum, Dad, Clare and me on a humungous big wheel, part of the Plaisers d'Hiver festival type affair that was going in Brussels this...

I don't even know why I said it, a bit of Friday afternoon frivolity is all

Some of my best family are vegetarians, and I've been vegan for about fifteen years now, that's why I posted that original thing. You're right though, most people are scum.Got plans for the weekend? I'm out in Trashford tonight with people from work,...

RE: Ha, the cheek of you complaining about an increase in royalties!

From what I read (and I did read a fair bit at the time!) it costs to run a station regardless of whether you made a profit or not. There was a company offering to deal with & pay the licencing to webcast, but their starter package was like �50 per m...

A Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall advert

I'm all for chicken out, chicken right out, right out of your diet. Just passing this on as my bro-in-law is quite into the idea, and Clare does only buy organic free range chicken when she eats it at home now. I'm not convinced that a "free range" c...

RE: Club Indigo

INDIGO IS CRAP its full of little teenagers and slappers...the music is ok but the people are ugly lol!!

It was mentioned in the Folkestone Herald this week

Pick one of those up, I think there's a phone number in there, Starbucks are looking for fifteen "partners" (not employees, oh no, partners).

I found the sidebar stuff quite tricky actually

I can't remember how I did it right now, I can only suggest looking in the source, it's all integral. I'll try and update my source code with some comments when I get time... Or, having looked at it again, completely rewrite it, it's rubbish... This ...

Glastonbury tickets

Haha, people are still trying to sell glastonbury tickets on ebay even with the super heightened security:This ticket is for a white male between 25-35 with dark brown hair. The photo isn't clear so would cover most people.I can't gauruntee entry to...

Good weekend

Quick trip to Mum and Dad's on Friday, with an afternoon off work thrown in, to be there for a fabulous family barbecue for Dad's birthday - I knew it was his 60th really. Just a flying visit, but still really good, nice to see so many people in one ...

I used to see Allan about once a year

out and about. We'd always say hello, but I expect towards the end he had no idea who I was.I did the Folkestone to Londond commute for about eighteen months, it was rubbish, took about two hours including faffing about at either end, but it did give...

"Only" three more series of Lost after this one

I'm still really into it, but don't entirely believe anything the producers of Lost say so will see how this report from Yahoo pans out. Apparently there will only be three more short series of sixteen episodes each of Lost after this one.Really enjo...

Boom shake the room!

Well I suspect you've all been frantically refreshing wondering when I'd report from this morning's earthquake! Amazingly it was three and a half hours ago now, the power was off until just recently so there wasn't a lot I could do, no internets, and...

Happy Friday 13th

I just drew horse #13 in the office Grand National sweepstake... I predict 13 horses will fall and die in tomorrow's race.(Actually number 13 is Point Barrow, one of the favourites, that's not bad. Not that we vegans participate in such things)...

It is all work work work

Really enjoyed my first week in the new job, it's a great place and a good crowd. And I'm not just writing this in case anyone there remembered the url from my CV and decides to investigate at some point. I even achieved something in my first week, I...

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! ...

I've not had to do anything since I've been here

apart from pay the maintenance charges... the residents meet up regularly and agree things by committee. There's an accountant on call, but no solicitor I don't think. As I say, we're only ten flats in the one block.Flats have been sold since I've be...

Magic darts

Turned on the final of the Lakeside World Championship last night while we were having tea (Sunday, so chilli), and nearly turned it right off again as it looked like a bit of an embarrassing white washing, Martin Adams bein six sets to nill up again...

Folkestone gig history

Been doing some gig history updates, I found some Prodigy, Gary Numan, and Leatherface gigs, and then found this on a myspace page:In 1993 Bonbooshe disbanded and I joined Glasshouse with Geoff and Ian Davies and spent 3 years with them recording, gi...

Hambledon Marriages

a transcription of Hambledon marriage records, has a mention of William Tee marrying Lucy Windebank, they sound like ours. This is from the "other" time the Windebank family crosses with ours. Same page also has page 60 no 180 George EARWAKER of the ...

Spamalot

Spamalot was quite good, not brilliant, best bit for me was seeing Tim Curry in the lead role. It's all the same story / jokes as the film.Went to The Three Greyhounds before the show, very good, small but nice old pub style pub. Four real ales on an...

What gig? In Chambers? On Friday?

I would not have thought so, even with an over eighteen, it is a pub.

The Garage

Don't recall if they did their "Hamster Dance" single, I do remember an ace cover of "Self Esteem", though I could possiblybe mixing it up with an earlier Helen Love gig... Plus The Fighting Cocks....
