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...

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 ...

Second house-hunting trip around Canterbury

Saw five houses today in Canterbury, have a map with details of the things we saw. Clare's out tonight with Jenny, so it's a prime opportunity for me to do some fiddling about with maps and things, so sorry if it breaks. Not that you'll be on the com...

Frank Skinner last night

Quite a good gig last night, Frank was funny and rude, and likeable because of his self depracating ways. He did two sets, with an interval, and then came back to do a little song on his banjo too. He's on tour for another two months, so see him if y...

Impressions of Tontine Street, a first visit to a new bar

Heard there was a new bar in town, Impressions, and so there is, it's at 33 Tontine Street, opposite Pipers, where a curry house used to be. It is a bar bistro, and looks like it's open daytimes too, though we didn't go in until the evening. Got ther...

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Well, great weekend in London with all the family, though it got off to a bit of a damp start for me... Left work at 5, picked up some beers and headed to our hotel to meet Clare, and got caught in the FIERCEST downpour ever! Frantically tried to dry...

Ffffffreezing

So, as mentioned before our office party was Friday night, actually in our office, and it seems to have been a resounding success. We had to leave early to try and get to Fareham, but so great a time was had by all they had to turn the heating off, a...

Weekend of travels

A great weekend in Folkestone though we seem to have been travelling around Kent for most of it. Raced down to go to Chambers Friday night, had a couple of pints in there and then shockingly left before closing, a bit tired... Saturday overslept unti...

IPOD vs Cassette

Time for an injection of STUFF, been neglecting the blog slightly recently. I thought that when I got the pocket pc and wireless network I'd be doing more internetting while sat in front of the TV and so on, but mostly we're using it for playing Jawb...

Pixies review

Pixies were amazing last night at Brixton, could be one of the best gigs ever. We warmed up for the show with a few pints of Old Rosie in The Beehive (Brixton Academy gigs are about the only time I can persuade anyone go in a Wetherspoons) so missed ...

Stuart Lee

Just saw Stuart Lee, between Waterstones book shop (where we were going) and the Pint Pot Pub (where we had just been). He is clearly spending the profits of the Jerry Springer Musical on cakes, he is looking more like Marlon Brando each time I see h...

Welcome to the Cheap Seats

Much drinking yesterday, crawled by the Pint Pot, the Rose and Crown, and the Stoke Tup before our curry at Anglo Asian... wasn't as good as usual, mostly this time because we were sat on the next table to Miles Hunt of The Wonder Stuff, and he and h...
