RE: Effect on the common man who owns a small shop: KERCHING!

I suppose you're right, I must try to not be cynical. But it's hard, having worked for some of the banks that caused the trouble - and now I'm doing some work for the Tax Man so I'm a little too close to it all.People of the world, keep buying stuff ...

Great weekend (belated weeekend-o-blog)

Great as in really good and great as in just enormous, fitted quite a lot in. Clare was out in London Friday night, and had got a hotel so I was planning to meet her later and we'd stay over so as to have a nice Saturday there too. Work is busy as ev...

RE: House hunt

I like the "not slanderous at all" $10 note comment. That coupled with a picture of the premises in question would never get you into trouble ;) Lovely looking building though - much nicer from the outside than the second one.You like that there Waga...

RE: Folkestone recycling

Well, it was 1994 when I was last living in the great village of Folkestone, but at the time I was trying my very best with the Folkestone & Hythe council to seriously consider a plant whereby unhappy males could take their drunken partners and, erm....

Today's walk around Canterbury

OK, not all walking, we got the bus to Canterbury, and the GPS kept the signal all the way as you can see... if you zoom in on Canterbury itself (which I'll try and do automatically I think) you can see where we walked. got some pictures to upload to...

Google Maps API + Thickbox

Had some trouble for a while at work with getting our google maps working with this thickbox, and I put it off for ages (telling people not to put a map in a lightbox), but today I got to the bottom of it. Don't load your map until the lightbox has l...

RE: Train news

Working in a bank we have quite a nice pension, although it isn't one of those magical final salary pensions that the public sector get.That said, I leave here on Friday so no more nice pension contributions.Having troubles posting for some reason, y...

RE: Interactive map of Folkestone

Thank you for puting out such an amazing site!I myself am going to make a google map API with information about the bars and pubs around our conference venue. I have no experience in javascript, but I managed to put on markers and their info windows...

Up to our HIPs (geddit?!?!?)

First off, huge trouble at the quiz at The Ship last night - the wife and I were on different teams, as we had friends with us. It was looking like Clare's team was going to walk the mini quiz with a straight ten out of ten, and we'd got one wrong, s...

RE: It is all work work work

And now all the muggers who do their research on the internet know:1) Where you work2) That you carry a nice spanking new Mac PowerBook Pro in you bag3) That you walk alone along a country lane in the dark from the train station (and therefore your r...

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...

Radio drama

Here's that radio drama I mentioned last week, it's a 7meg download. It's rubbish, but if you're subscribed to here via the medium of RSS, you might get it downloaded automatically podcast stylee.I'm still having trouble getting this working on vario...

History in my day

Another bright and breezy morning, just cool enough to stop me walking down town in just a t-shirt, but warm enough not to stop me walking down town at all. I headed the usual route past the courts and the DSS (all the nice scenic points), to what I�...

Finally

Installing linux on my ipod... been meaning to do this for ages, but been having trouble connecting the IPOD to the pc for a while, turns out to have been some sort of conflict with the tv card I was trying out. Taken that out, as it never worked any...

I am here

Just been a bit busy with I don't know what. Fending off a few jobs and interviews and things, and then also hanging around the shops like other unemployable Folkestone delinquents.Yesterday I drove the in-laws to Gatwick, and nearly got in trouble w...

Yep, I'm going to be in trouble

Jim wanted it when I told him about it, I said hold on and see what it goes for and we'll know what sort of amount we should bid next time... he'd have paid more than that, we might have got it. I did mean to check in again but I forgot.There's one i...

bizarre, cheers for that

Is it not just that you're already logged in, the site has remembered who you are by the medium of cookies? What happens if you just post a message on a page where there's no login form? Do you get an error?You know you can't actually post a new mess...

Oh yeah, just realised

The reason you're having so much trouble sending the pictures over the aerial is probably that your video is sending terrestrial RF & you have a DVB-T video card... The different broadcast systems won't talk to eachother !

Sorry if you had trouble registering

Sorry you have to register at all to post a comment here, it's just that I've had trouble with spammers... then once I'd put that in place, my system for registering people was faulty anyway, bah, how many potential recruits have I lost for the Folke...

RE: Thankyou for struggling on with that

If you're troubled with spam comments then you could try something simple that beats the bots, I've seen a lot of people putting in text boxes that simply say "Type orange into this field" and that cures the large proportion of their problems.

Sofa, so good

SMART, just got a call from Furniture Village, our new sofa is on the way! They'll be calling again on Friday to arrange a two hour delivery window on Saturday... WAITAMINUTE, not World Cup Saturday surely? What if they can only deliver it during the...

Thankyou for struggling on with that

I'll have a look at the error messages, what it meant to say was "you're already registered with that address, click here for a reminder instead". My Dad had the same trouble, but he gave up... it's annoying to have to do any of this crap at all, may...

Well at least it's good for the garden

Not a lot else to report, having a lot of trouble with spammers on here, so if you want to post a reply I'm afraid you'll have to register now, until I can work something out.Nice that the rain has cooled things down a bit, it was a bit of a shock th...

BBC NEWS | Politics | Stags should pay for embassy help

What on earth is this all about? I've been on lots of stag do's abroad (and have another two lined up, woo!) and no-one in any of our parties has been in trouble with the law. Where do they get this 24% figure from? Who did their research, was it the...
