Nice Thai food no longer

It is a shame but the Skuba Bar has changed hands, and there went the Thai Food. Currently (08/2008), they serve a very bad version (e.g. bad quality produced, greasy and tasteless)of pub food.

Canterbury, yesterday

Went to Canterbury yesterday, ate lunch, came home. That was about it really. Got some Thai food in The Hobgoblin. My jungle curry was pretty good, very hot too, but Clare didn't like her Pad Thai chicken.Yeah, not the most interesting thing for you ...

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 ...

Nepotism at the Guardian

Expect this one to show up in Private Eye next week. The comments do seem to have been pretty brutal right from the off.It could be a spoof, but probably it's genuine and there to appeal to the child market.Via popbitch message board....

Day of SPORT

No, more likely day of EATING, with SPORT for dessert. Don't suppose we'll see any of the England v Estonia game today though you never know, we will be in Canterbury. There's some kind of food fair on in Dane John gardens, which is near the bus stat...

I'm the walking dude (and so's my wife)

Splendid weekend, thanks for asking, starting off with what's becoming a regular routine; a quiet night in Friday night then a trip to Canterbury Saturday daytime. Had a lovely Wagamama, only slightly marred by me biting through my lip again. In the ...

Edinburgh (being the second part of our holiday)

Edinburgh is nice. "Our kind of city" the wife wrote on her postcards, and I agree. We got a speedy train there from Carlisle into Edinburgh Haymarket, this was the side of the city we were staying on. We could have been a bit closer to the action bu...

First day of school

So, my first day back at work after a nice summer off. So far it is just great, there's a free canteen in the building, today I had Chinese vegetables and rice and things, there was also a meaty option of red Thai curry. Now to the downside, they don...

Some thoughts on the Skuba bar

Slight repost from the weblog:... got distracted by the thought of Thai food in Skuba. It was GREAT to sit out in their garden when we should have been at work, reading the papers while waiting for our lunch to arrive - this is the life I was thinkin...

Nice long weekend in Sandgate, Folkestone, Hythe and Portchester

FINE weekend, thank you far asking, good long weekend too, but a bit tiring. Thursday was birthday day (my birthday and also the wife's birthday), and while we were working in the day we'd booked the Friday off so we could have a night out with no fe...

Squirrel plants super walnut tree

A lovely gardening story, not that much squirrel content actually. Now onto the weekend review!We went to Rye, and it is nice. We mooched around some very very old buildings and shops and things, and had a look inside Henry James' house, and did all ...

Digging for pie

On a quest for PIE, Clare is frightened of the amount of shrooms in this mushroom and ale number, so probably going to make a dessert instead. Found this vegan cheesecake recipe but it calls for a blender, so it looks ilke cherry pie is a winner... L...

Clissold Park reopened

Nice easy journey into work today too, not much traffic on the road though there seemed to be plenty of 106s. Went past Clissold Park and saw a TV news crew reporting on the fact the park had been reopened.Nice Thai lunch today, and then combined bir...

Datbase crash

These are happening more and more frequently these days, but this is the first time that the database has crashed and I've really lost data... the punter.MYD file deleted itself somehow on the crash, that is where all punter data is stored, nightmare...

Jarvis Cocker

Last tue. Walking towards brick lane with the new bird. Stopped to evaluate a Thai Restaurant, but obviously didn't find it up to his standards and continued his journey.

Sophie Ellis Bextor

Finishing a meal with her mate (which she paid for - the advance must have been not too bad!), while we pointed at her, laughed and made generally derogatory comments about her musical output, as we were pretty pissed at the time. She was alright ab...
