RE: Sounds like crapland

Yeah, saw that this morning - part of me applauds their audacity, part of me thinks there should be more powers to lock people up for taking the piss. I'm a complex person me.Anyway, enough about skilled entrepreneurs / thieving scam artists. What's ...

Someone else struggling with their Habitat Radius wardrobe doors

Wonder if the person selling this wardrobe was planning to sell the wardrobe anyway, or if the doors not shutting properly has driven them mad and made them want rid? That's how I read it:This wardrobe was bought from Habitat around 3 years ago. It c...

RE: Linksys WVC54G wireless camera, btinternet SMTP and gmail

I have a similar problem and I got tired of fighting with it. Most of these cameras also will send a screen shot to an ftp server so I wrote a vbscript that polls the server and then sends an email using my workplace smtp server. Obviously, you need ...

MediaMonkey

When I had hard drive problems recently and had to restore all my music library from a backup, I only had backups of the actual tracks and not all the associated itunes stuff. This means I lost most of my album artwork and things! Annoyingly itunes w...

Is it still the Three Mackerel?

It has had more names than that in just the few years I've been here, it seems jinxed... It was Nostalgia Bar a fifties themed bar just before it was Euphoria I think. I've only liked one of the incarnations in recent years, when it had the hexagonal...

Splendid weekend of comedy, food, double dinners, and everything

Great weekend. As an intro though, specifically for the people from work who mentioned they had found this page recently - at no point did I drink too much and become annoying, I am a fine upstanding member of staff. Probably you can go back to work ...

Over the top door staff

I was removed from marthas because i asked a chap in a kilt if it was true that it was tradional for scots not to wear underwear under their kilts. I think this was harsh and ridiculous, and only came about because he "knew" management, i am a sia li...

The George in Rye July newsletter

We've been rather quiet on the newsletter front lately, having been nominated for UK Newcomer of the Year in the CATEY Awards, the Oscars of the Restaurant and Hotel world (sadly, the ceremony was not in LA). This award has previously been won by the...

Went to Go Ape at Leeds Castle on Friday, bit of a work jolly. None of the pictures or video really came out that well, but here is me on a zip line / death slide / flying fox.It was great! Some pictures to come too.As a reward for watching my video...

Why's this Habitat Radius furniture always so far away?

Five drawer tallboy, starting at fifty quid, but it's in Cheshire. Will most likely end up waiting until we move and then buying another one of these new. It's going to be well handy having tall and slim furniture when we move from the big wide flat ...

Bonekickers

Did you see Bonekickers on TV last night? I will watch some crap, but even I had to turn it off, it was so bad! I am still tempted to catch up on what I turned off on iplayer later, just to reassure myself that it was just about the worst thing ever....

Zoo thousand and HATE!

The Zoo Thousand Port Lymne festival sounds like the festival was awful, no-one really has a good word to say about it at work. At least two of the headliners did not play (but as the headliners were Athlete and Dizzee Rascal) that's not necessarily...

Did you see Folkestone on TV last night?

The town looked nice on The Culture Show, I'm glad. That's why I was looking up The Culture Show yesterday when I mentioned the Ricky Gervais stuff, to find out when this feature was on, must have got distracted before I found it or I'd have plugge...

PHP 4 to 5 migration

Bit of an all encompassing thing this, I use PHP for work and for home, I've pretty much abandoned perl since I joined Holiday Extras a year and a half ago. PHP4, widely used everywhere, (including on this blog) is about to die. It's been on it's way...

Useful tips for guitar beginners!

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...
