The plot of a Christopher Brookmyre book

OK so this story doesn't have a plot that we know of so far, but each bit of information that's eeked out of nowhere by the press leads the imagination in different directions, like a good book. Of course, this is not a book, these are people's lives...

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...

What would you like to see in a new bar in the creative quarter? Email rbailey@netbox5.com with your thoughts, he's planning on opening a bar aimed at the over 25s with different events on different nights and is looking for some feedback....

Canterbury, but not house hunting

Not a bad weekend. Started on a bum note, with a death, my sister's ma-in-law passed away unexpectedly on Friday, so thoughts with all the families involved obviously. Saturday we stayed local, didn't go to Canterbury as Clare was having lunch with h...

I had some points about the date today

Is it a bonus day for employers, we still get paid the same amount though we're working an extra day etc, though these thoughts were all inspired by BBC Breakfast, and [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7269816.stm this BBC article]] covers all the...

RE: Some thoughts on the Skuba bar

you forgot to mention that most of the people who visit this place are gays that stare at you as soon as you enter the door lol

RE: Yes, moved here (to Folkestone) full time back in April

Hello, my husband and I are moving down to Folkestone and looking for a house- wondered what your thoughts are on Coolinge Road? We quite liked Folkestone West station areas too but a bit concerned you're a bit left out of things there. The West End ...

Party weekend

Bah, I wrote this out once already and closed the browser by mistake... had kind of a busy week at work, that's got to be a good thing, but it's meant not really any time for writing here in the day time, and some days have seen me concentrating on s...

High Speed Rail Link

Just wondering whether you could let me know the best sources for getting to know more about:a) The hiogh speed train linkb) The squabbles between Godden and Dehaan over the seafrontI'm from Folkestone originally and looking to pick up 1 or 2 investm...

Canterbury weekender

Had such a great weekend, it's taken me days to recover, and I've not fully gathered my thoughts. I'm in danger of forgetting everything though, so It's time to blat out a mini review.Friday started how all our Fridays used to start, with a trip to C...

Ripper indeed

Been plotting some writings regarding the Ipswich prostitute murders, getting a bit annoyed at the press calling this guy "the ripper". He's not ripped so much as a sheet of toilet paper as far as we know, he's been suffocating in Suffolk, can no-one...

A Seaside Year launches in Folkestone

Folkestone is to see a new creative project arrive in the town this winter with the launch of A Seaside Year bringing twelve months of new performing arts events and activities to the town.Four key scheduled events for Winter, Spring, Summer and Autu...

Gig guide from this week in 1981!

so it wasn't all big name indie bands playing the Metronome every night as I've been led to believe... here's a fascinating republication of gig listings from 1981, from the good people at www.kentgigs.com. Don't forget my Folkestone gig guide though...

Yesterday's news

BAH, wrote a huge posting, to compensate for several days of blog neglect, and Firefox only done went and crashed on me didn't it... that's literally several paragraphs of finely thought out prose that are now lost forever. I need to write an "autosa...

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...

RE: Might as well jump

Do they know that we aint got an A&E anymore! I dunno, I reckon I could give the matress jumps a go, on second thoughts...

I nearly shivered

I nearly shivered just as I got to work, a brace of fire engines raced down Farringdon Road, all sirens blazing. It was too hot for a real shiver, but obviously thoughts all day are with the events of last year... Just looking back to what I wrote on...

Worst website ever!

I saw a bag I liked, and it's made by Crumpler - worst website ever! How annoying is that? Makes me not want to get the bag. Also I am a bit undecided following yesterday's thoughts on not buying something unless I get rid of something, the satchel I...

It's good to be back, it's good to be back

Thankyou for the concerned phonecalls and emails and texts, I am all OK, just had a few days away from work and the computer with a bad back, too much housework I reckon. Gave me a nice relaxing time in front of the TV though.Before all that, let me ...

The perfect crime

After the fabulous treat of yesterday evening (sausage, beans and fried potatoes for tea AND two episodes of Lovejoy), this morning's long wait outside the office was probably due. No keyholder turned up for over an hour, so I couldn't get into the b...

SOS Folkestone

On a technical level, I don't like www.sosfolkestone.info but that could be just me being a nerd. They do have a little forum there with a lot more activity than this one, and some more info on Roger Dehaan's masterplan for Folkestone, including some...

I had the same thoughts

Well, not seen episode two yet, but it was funny, but not the funniest thing ever. I don't want to sound like the kind of person who settles for "just OK", but it's probably wrong to expect each new comedy programme to be funnier than all the rest.

It's all go today

It's all go today, XFM Winter Wonderland tickets sold out before I managed to send out a spam about them, so now doing a bit of marketing of The Eagles Farewell Tour. I'd like to see them, but it's 75 quid or so for tix... did this suddenly turn into...

A mighty wind

Am I just having tsunami fear, or was the wind and rain last night particularly fierce? Kept me awake with thoughts of the roof of the house coming off, this place in Stokey never feels particularly secure...Lazy day today, heading into town later to...

Old Street Art Pranks

Saw a wacky situationist prank at Old Street this morning, a breakfast table set up on top of a bus shelter, with bowls, cups, plates, milk jugs, the lot. Snapped a pic but can't get it off my phone until I get home. It's got a mention in London By L...

More Pocket PC recommendations

This from the same mate who made the other recommendations:I recommend you use the SPB Pocket Plus thing (which is what I think you said re battery meter etc). If the icons are too big and take up too much "today page" real estate you can change the ...

There, on the stair

Forgot to mention, yesterday morning we found a little surprise in our kitchen cupboard, one mouse, deceased. It's only the cupboard we keep tins in, as we've had evidence of mice before, so it looks like the little feller got in, couldn't find any f...

"neurocops"

'We have a big report coming out soon on pharmacotherapy. The focus is on how the new breed of neuro-drugs are helping to shift the old rhetoric of the "war on drugs" away from drug users as "the enemy" to being "sick people" who need treatment. It w...
