Sandbanks Restaurant, The Pavilion, Wear Bay Road - Sat 23rd Aug

I haven't written one of these reviews for a while and, to be honest, I wondered whether I ever would again. There are only so many times you can be bothered to write something about crap food served by people who don't give a damn about good food o...

Tree blown down in front of Kalala

You wouldn't want to have been sat outside The Bank Bar today. Came across this on my way home today, looks like it can only just have happened. If you have a dinner booked at Kalala tonight, I think you'll be using the side entrance......

Yesterday's house hunt

A trip to Canterbury yesterday, an early start, four houses to see. First one was a bit further out than we first thought, up Whitstable Road, though not an insurmountable distance to Canterbury West. The house is at the end of a cul-de-sac, so you h...

Two completely different properties this week

Saw two houses yesterday in Canterbury, wildly different, and they highlight the fact that we want somewhere exactly in between, which is something that does not exist, at least within our budget...First house was in Vernon Place, and though we're id...

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...

I thought things looked funny from the train last night

Looking out of my window I could see lots of lorries queued up in the dark, I thought it was the entrance to the tunnel but wondered why I'd not noticed it before... Seems the M20 was closed last night, Operation Stack came into effect:Motorists were...

Transport updates

Journey times have been much better since Monday. If I race out of the door here at six, I get a train at Cannon Street that gets me home without changing for eight fifteen. Bit boring travelling on my own, but I'm plodding on with these book, and re...

RE: Videos of Folkestone: SECRET TUNNELS!

Facinating. I've walked by that entrance many time and wondered what it was. Isn't it going the wrong way for a channel tunnel!

Forbach Orchestra 15th April

We are quite lucky to have an opportunity like this because the orchestra, consisting of 85 musicians, are currently French National Champions at their class and the conductor is internationally recognized. They are putting on the concert free of ch...

Richard Branson

He walked up to the front and was ushered straight in, like he owned the place. ahem.

Noel & Liam

The most offensive thing in London...

... is that huge Jesus statue above the entrance of Selfridges. How nightmarish is that - turning a department store into a 22nd century church? As if that terrible Mel Gibson flick hadn't given enough Jesus to us for this year already. The end is ne...

Me and Mr H were having our pre-theatre dinner when lo and behold, that Tyrone, Ashley Peacock and the one who used to be in Where the Heart is and is now in Corrie and his daughter boffed Martin, were stood in the entrance hall leaving. Presumably ...

Britney Spears

Was supposed to be a public signing by the former princess of pop, however too many popettes turned up, so they had to close the store. A simple wander round the back to find the goods entrance, and waiting posse of pap's soon allowed a tantalising g...

Squirrel vs Magpie

Just about got the sites back up by the end of yesterday, this has unfortunately meant rushing through the new design barfly (see it here), which doesn't quite work, which has led to a lot of complaints, ah well, needs must or something. This will al...

Not the flat for me

This flat in Kingsnorth Gardens was nice, and interestingly laid out, but not quite right for us... In an estate agent stylee, the house featured an entrance hall, leading to the shared hall of the house (there are two other flats), and all other roo...

Turin Breaks

Walking into the north entrance of the park.
March 2003. A sunny day. They were wearing combats, and I only recognised them because they were together.

Professor Heinz Woolf

On more than one occasion the Heath Robinson of 1980s TV has been observed heading to and from Ealing Broadway railway station, presumably because his own egg powered travelling apparatus is currently being serviced. The Heinz Woolf fans amongst you...

Fred Durst

I was walking swiftly past all that smelly stuff that surrounds the entrance to all department stores when I noticed the red-capped one trying out the foundation. I think he wants to be like Wes! Try coloured make-up Fred...
