Non political news

Ah, the weekend, seems like so long ago now. Chocka at work this week, I am shut away in isolation for two weeks to work on a new project. Good to be without distractions of people coming up to my desk, and actually good to be so busy, it's making th...

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...

Some details from this week's Herald about Gate 28

According to the Folkestone Herald:It's under new ownership because Roger DeHaan sold the freehold, hmm why would he do that? I wonder if it's because Jimmy Godden has been buying up properties on the same street.The same owner owns the Gate Inn in H...

No more news about Gate 28 reopening then?

I found nothing on Facebook, except a group saying "wouldn't it be good if it reopened"... it's still under offer, and still has not changed internally so I guess it could happen fairly quickly. If you have any more specific info please post it up he...

Got a sword and a beard? Want to be in Justin Hawkins' new video?

I wouldn't have thought people needed much encouragement to take a weapon along to a Justin Hawkins performance really. Not sure I can make this, but would you like to be in the ex The Darkness frontman's new video?I have been asked to supply big bea...

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......

Google street view is OK'd for the UK

Here on the BBC, there were fears about it being an invasion of privacy, which would have been a shame if it goes ahead. It's funny how sometimes we're keen to give data away on social network websites and excited about every inch of the UK being pho...

Folkestone pub mapplet

Heard of Mapplets? No? Used Google maps though haven't you? Wouldn't you like to add the Folkestone pub map without having to visit this site? You can! add it to your map. Now you can find a local pub (or in lots of other towns actually) from with Go...

Cancelled Gig/Bad vibes

I am a PROFESSIONAL solo singer guitarist and was booked MONTHS back to play at the Neptune Inn on 31st July 08. I phoned today to confirm and the guy there was stroppy and rude, saying I would not go down there as they never have solos. I offered a ...

First review of Zoo Thousand and Eight in

Here at www.safeconcerts.com, sounds a bit chaotic, more rumours of cancellations than actual cancellations possibly though.More here, seems Lethal Bizzle was promoted to replace Dizzee Rascal, not a bad call I wouldn't have said, though one was a Me...

RE: Folkestone double death plunge smash horror tragedy!

Yes she did! She actually came off of the Asda carpark and i certainly won't forget5 coming face to face with her smashed on the pavement! Suicide remains the most selfish act ever!!! I CANNOT find it within my self to feel sorry for.......best to wi...

Are you sure Hazel didn't register in both your names?

I wouldn't think the BBC would spam out invitations for something like this. We both registered (in our own names) though I didn't go for the competition aspect of it, so I won't get some researcher from Radio One seeing if I'm fun enough (and young ...

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...

House hunt

Two houses today in Canterbury, different parts of town, but with things in common. For starters, both too expensive really at 250k each. If the market really is tumbling we might be able to make a cheeky offer on just about anything we see now thoug...

Queen BACK!

We're not going to this, nor going to get the album I wouldn't have thought. Went to see "Queen" before with Paul Rodgers, and it was good to hear some of the tunes live, but it's probably best just to leave it. Also Brian May seems like a bit of a m...

Captain Jack

I got a ticketmaster email today to tell me John Barrowman is playing Portsmouth Guildhall... doing what? Acting out scenes from Doctor Who, or a medley of songs from his West End showdays? Intriguing, I might go if it was local. And if it wasn �27. ...

Jackdaw Pub Over Priced?

�7.05 for a Pint of Lager a Pint of Orange Juice and lemonade and a packet of peanuts. The Americans who seemed to flock to the lifeless and tacky pub maybe used to being ripped off but I certainly wasn't. Wouldn't go again.

RE: I wouldn't take it personally...

Fair enough, I just sometimes find it a little distasteful when people blindly criticise things (especially my own artwork of course!). Most of the stuff that's on my flickr account is stuff straight out of my sketchbook, for fun. My portfolio proper...

RE: I wouldn't take it personally...

And here's an MS Paint rendered one of mine using my laptop's wonderful nipple: It's about this point that you should probably tell me now that I should give up drawing Bruce Willis?...

I wouldn't take it personally...

...I just thought you had a huge range of styles and I didn't *personally* like the one of Bruce Willis (it doesn't look finished either?). I'm allowed an opinion right? I can't play football at the level required for my country but I'm still allowe...

RE: Who are you Kenn Goodall?

Hilarious and scary. I wouldn't sleep so well at night.

Scrap the licence fee

The BBC are a bit annoying at the moment aren't they? If they're not punking the the queen with crazy video pranks, they're ripping off the public with phoney competitions. Why not get rid of the licence fee, and replace it with a subscription for BB...

Quite Interesting

Went back to QI, and it was ace, glad we made the effort. I had the afternoon off, and got away on time, so I had hours to kill before the show. I went to the National Gallery, and saw some paintings, it was nice. Then I wondered around Soho grazing ...

Motley Crue play Hammersmith

If it wasn't a Monday night, I might go to this, 11th June at Hammersmith Odeon, it's Motley Crue. In fact a Tuesday night wouldn't be good either, nor any day from Sunday back round to Friday again are out. If they move this gig to a Saturday, and i...

So here's the Guardian story THE MAN couldn't hush up

Cash for honours: key document names LevyIt's been good for The Guardian I'm sure, I bought one today to see what the fuss was about; on BBC Breakfast this morning they were so wary of the story they didn't even have a copy of the Guardian on their d...

RE: The only record I have that's worth any money

The last house move was the first one where the Hi Fi wasn't set up first. In fact it wasn't set up at all and went straight up in the loft along with all the CD's.Too much floor space with all the collection now digitalised.I wouldn't throw or sell ...

Crash? What crash?

I hung on for years and years wary of buying convinced there would be a crash. If I'd bought when I first could, even if there had been a crash I'd be better off than I am now. If I'd bought at the very top of the market just before the last crash, I...
