Foster Gearing's virtual reality zoom around our Creative Quarter

Foster Gearing's video of it's vision for our very own Creative Quarter... hmm is there any mileage in pretending the FG on their video really stands for Folkestone Gerald?The Old High Street is much like that already isn't it? Has about that many pe...

The Whole World Cafe closed because...

Rates (or was it rent) had just gone up, too much competition and not enough passing trade (ie none). So they've packed it in! This from a friend, I have not spoken directly. I understand (well read on Twitter) that there's an article about it in the...

The Whole World Cafe closed?

The Wife went past yesterday and says it's closed down. Sign says they've ceased trading at that address (or similar wording), but does this mean they've moved elsewhere?It's a shame, it was a nice place, the sort of place we could do with around her...

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 [google=carn...

I would avoid the "50% off sale" at Woolworths

Popped in yesterday, doesn't seem to be a lot that is actually 50% off. You'll find 10% off some of the rubbish on the shelves, but not any actual bargains that I could see. Don't get suckered in.What's going to go into that huge space in the middle ...

It is about the Whole World Cafe in the Old high street

when you go in the cafe you do not know what to do i.e self serve or be sit and be served.. it turns out it depends on the mood of the owner. The eldery Irish lady seemed bored to be there but i did order my food which was hard work as the black boar...

Google mapping cars in Folkestone?

Tesselate says google mapping cars (that they're using to do the street view on google maps) are "about", not sure if that means Folkestone. Just wondered if she was a Google employee, as we have the google mapping cars about now, and I guess it woul...

Are you down with OPP?

The excellent Other People's Photographs project has been absorbed into some Channel 4 project and is putting their name to www.opp2.org. Only two pictures posted there from Folkestone, no actual connection with the OPP project as far as I can see so...

What's happening to The Usual Suspects?

Long closed bar The Usual Suspects seems to be in the process of renovation / conversion at last:We do need more good pubs in that area, The Creative Quarter does need a fine landmark defining local, but I'm not convinced that's what it'll become, if...

Cool bag

This bag is a strictly limited edtion from a local shop in Folkestone, it's made from leftover (unused) London tube train seat material:Retro and recycled and local and cool, all in one, nice. Via keetsa.com, some sort of enviro-blog I think.While I'...

Jason Donovan

Just saw him in M & S. He was wearing an ill fitting black leather jacket and ugg boots tucked into jeans, a look i don't think he quite pulled off. Looked a bit worse for wear to be honest but then i guess he's not gonna look like the fresh faced ...

Sheridan Smith

I can only assume that her, Natalie, Will etc were having some sort of 2 pints of lager christmas party. She seemed a bit annoying and held up the queue in the ladies by talking for AGES on her phone in the loo.

Paul Weller

I just walked past Stick & Bowl and there he was say looking out the window, it was very off to see him in there. He was looking very good indeed, he'll always be cool.

Paul Whitehouse

Walking down MHS this morning wearing jeans and a shirt checking his mobile phone (it looked liked he was scrolling down through, perhaps his contact list?)

Derren Brown

Gabrielle

"Dreams can come true"...yes they can indeedy. Saw her just now. She is rather portly, short hair, wearing brown shades and a mixture of beige and white clothing.

Trouble on Stoke Newington High Street

Something must have happened on Stoke Newington High Street, it was closed off when I went out, hence the diversion of busses. No reason for it to have affected the 106 though. Many police in attendance, no sign of an accident or anything though....

Vanessa Feltz

Just a minute ago getting on the back of a motorbike wearing a leather jacket, with her FAT ARSE spilling over the seat..gross.

Sarah Cawood

She was in there buying a birthday card

Marc Almond

Today, dressed all in black, looking a bit scarey, too many tats.

Sophie Anderton

Just now. Looking absolutely gorgeous and tanned, walking with 2 guys. Jeans and Jean jacket i think, with a Von Dutch jean cap, with Von Dutch written in blue sparkley writing.

Gary Kemp

Yesterday wearing smart pants and a white collar shirt.

Danny Kelly (under the moon, sports presenter)

Monday...getting out of a black cab, tres exciting for words.

Shane Richie

Today. Wearing a pin stripe suit and shades

Carl Libertine

I saw him walking past Pret on Camden High Street about a week and a half ago, he looked very attractive and i hadn't really thought he was particularly sexy before then. He was chatting on his mobile phone.
