Cure tickets

Seems it's nearly time for our annual pilgrimage, The Cure are playing the O2, it's an NME brats show, except it's called the Shockwaves big gig now. Seems they're playing Brixton the night before but it's at the awards ceremony. I've been before, la...

A new dawn, a new hope, a new America, etc

A shift away from Conservatism, it's Obama what won it. The number of seats makes it look like a proper drubbing, Barack Obama winning two for each one that John McCain did, and it wasn't close like George W Bush's controversial win, but it looked li...

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...

A handy guide to how tall stuff is

imgs.xkcd.com/comics/height.pngFrom xkcd.com. Wow this makes the blog content nearly as long as the ad-stuffed sidebar! Still haven't heard back from Ebay about their new affiliate scheme. I'm chucking free links to them left right and centre to them...

Apothecary cabinet went for �395

See it here, wonder if it will reappear on the listings again. Could have been a proper bargain, but that picture looked suss, like someone had revarnished it themselves.Speaking of REVARNISH, well kind of, I keep looking at words and thinking "that'...

Hot Leg tonight

Hot Leg tonight at Proud Galleries, Camden, That London. Bit concerned about it really, got to leg it out of work at a pretty busy time for us, lots on at the moment. Leaving a little early anyway, train to London, hurriedly catch up with friends tha...

New shop in town

There's a new Camden style retro shop opened in Folkestone. Today was the first day of opening, just low key at the moment, they're going to launch properly in a couple of weeks, I'm sure they'll invite me along for the champagne reception.Unfortunat...

RE: Gone Ape

That looks GREAT - I like how you are suppressing all your panic just to look cool for the camera. Was expecting some comedy-crashing-into-a-tree moment but it didn't appear. Oh, and get a haircut.

Who will buy my Stereophonics tickets

Slight repost from Folkestone Gerald and my blog / forum there:I can't decide whether or not to go to Stereophonics next Tuesday, we have messed up a bit in arranging a lie in the following morning so it's not really convenient now. Do you want my s...

No lunch for me thanks

Blee, it's our "rumble in the jungle" fun day at work and they've just completed their bushtucker trial type thing. Brains, tongue, testicles, scorpions, all sorts. Couldn't really get close enough to take any pictures or shoot any video but I will c...

Created some kml files from my pub / restaurant data on Folkestone Gerald, part of my plan to clean up my maps and things, kml is a standard that's been adopted by google for google earth and maps and things, and is possibly better suited than my exi...

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...

RE: Folkestone double death plunge smash horror tragedy!

I Am from Folkestone but live in Dublin at the moment and I heard friday morning about what had happened - and have been searching ever since in the internet to try and find out who it was - in case I know him - and you`rs is the only mention.I think...

Swing Afternoon review

Regular correspondent Woodo sent me this:I did promise a review of the "swing afternoon" at the Sandgate Hotel but as the weather was so great we spent most of the day in Bar Vasa however, we did pop in to catch the last couple of songs from the perf...

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 ...

What a day to close it!

Was it open New Years Eve then? Sorry about your job. There seem to be a load of pubs and bars closing in this area at the moment.

Boo, house rubbishness

Both the houses we were interested in (even if we could barely afford them) this modern one near Canterbury West, and Black Griffin Lane are both sold! Subject to contract anyway. I thought the housing market meant to be slow at the moment?...

RE: Open Mic night at the Whole World cafe this Friday

Hi there,I'm Ollie, the lead singer in the Folkestone based Band Realm79. We're currently looking to get more gigs and play in different venues. How would I go about organising an evening of open mic with my band?? we play our own material but only h...

Weather report part two

Ferocious rain woke us both up in the night, a proper downpour again. Clare got the fear that the weather might have resulted in our pilot light going out (it happened before), which would mean waking up to cold showers, so I got up to check on it. W...

Google Maps hacks

I'm sure you've checked out Saturday's walk around Canterbury by now, I've merged in the photos that I took along the way now too. Involved a bit of a hack really, Flickr offers a geocoded feed of my photos, and will let me narrow that down to say ju...

Thanks but I am a bit busy at the moment

RE: Speaking of cool

If you consider your comment about reading this in 5 years time then the moment for talking about your xmas party hasn't passed. You'll not remember it in 5 years unless you put it in here now.

Speaking of cool

Very cold and frosty today, nice to look at but slippy underfoot.Aware I've been neglecting this a bit recently, a shame because I've been doing more reading of my own older posts, and enjoying some of the details I'd forgotten. This is obviously all...

Magic Numbers every bit as good as I predicted

OK my prediction of Morrissey joining them on stage was a complete fabrication, but we did get Bernard Butler appearing with them to perform "Love's a Game", which then medleyed on into "People Get Ready". They did another wacky ending of another of ...
