Splendid weekend of comedy, food, double dinners, and everything

Great weekend. As an intro though, specifically for the people from work who mentioned they had found this page recently - at no point did I drink too much and become annoying, I am a fine upstanding member of staff. Probably you can go back to work ...

RE: Yes you must

I don't avoid it as such, I'm just usually too busy and it's gone before I realise what's going on. I'll make an extra special effort this year.I've a few friends who currently rent out during the festival, or have in the past. They only get at most ...

Where'd the weekend go?

In fact where did the week go since I last had something to write about? Had plenty going on, I put it down to trying to learn the guitar, and the tips of my fingers are in far too much pain to type, so sorry if I go a bit slowly.If anyone has any go...

RE: Folkestone suicide tragedy

I can confirm that Rosie had just come from an interview in which her return to work part-time was discussed positively. She had been treated for depression and everything seemed to be going well. It is so sad that, just when life had begun to look r...

ABE Books also leaving Commission Junction

Hmm, ebay recently quit Commission Junction (an affiliate company, who make it easy for small fry like me to refer you to a company who pay a commission), and now ABE Books are off too, I wonder what's going on? There are millions of companies out th...

Brian May knows where you live

You know he's going to hunt you down since you called him a miserable git - not hard to figure out where you live from this site...

He knows, the venue is booked

Not sure he's said the name though, nor if I would remember it if he had.

My recommended events

Cool, just discovered my recommended events at last.fm, and I see loads of bands that I like or liked in the past are playing live about now, including bands that I didn't really know were still going, including Love / Hate, Sheep on Drugs, Ricky Spo...

I think the way the dolphin is being treated is absolutely disgraceful!!!! People have no consideration for the dolphin and are purely out for self gain to say �they swam with a dolphin!� I think it�s so selfish! The fate for solitary dolphins is alw...

I used to see Allan about once a year

out and about. We'd always say hello, but I expect towards the end he had no idea who I was.I did the Folkestone to Londond commute for about eighteen months, it was rubbish, took about two hours including faffing about at either end, but it did give...

"Only" three more series of Lost after this one

I'm still really into it, but don't entirely believe anything the producers of Lost say so will see how this report from Yahoo pans out. Apparently there will only be three more short series of sixteen episodes each of Lost after this one.Really enjo...

Separated at birth

Can't remember if I always thought this, or if it just occurred to me, but have a listen to the only good song by My Life Story, and then go back back far back to Fun Boy Three's Tunnel Of Love. Is one of them a cover of the other or what? I wish I h...

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...

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�...

First trip to Truffles

From my recent blog posting: Friday night we had our proper birthday night out, taken out for a meal by Clare's bro and fiance to Truffles. I was a bit apprehensive, as we'd checked out the menu when it first opened (it used to be Panchos and La Bamb...

Harry Clarke on Ebay

Just searching on a whim and I found this Hans Andersen's Fairy Tales, illustrated by Harry Clarke. This is Harry Clarke who is Clare's great grand uncle, no blood relation to we Clarkes, but now part of my family. The book must have just been put on...

Not much to say for a few days

Been watching quite a lot of Due South (we forgot to update our Amazon list) and doing some work on my Folkestone maps when I've had a few minutes. Now weather.I've sort of been enjoying the weather. Monday daytime I thought was fabulous, around lunc...

Get well soon Rich

Oof, chum Richy has just been rushed into hospital. He's OK now, but will not be joining us on the stag do. Most of the party are there already (I got many texts, their first beer was at 5.14am) and Rich was the one out of four of us tomorrow who kne...

I am looking for Sophia Clarke who worked at the Phoenix Theatre around 1990. I am from Brazil and I was in London studying Drama at the time, and she was a very good friend. We lost touch over the years, but I would very much like to know of her whe...

I think it's not cheap

AND I think there might be less freeware / open source type stuff out there, maybe I'm wrong there though. There would have been in the old days, but now it's all unix under the hood, who knows. Nic P surfed on by earlier to say that you do have to b...

It's great to have this confirmed by someone who knows!

I'll update the site with this info... do you have any more specific dates?

Happy St Patricks Day

Obviously I'm taking this getup to the rugby tomorrow - if by some mad chance France get convincingly beaten, then England only need to win by something like 50 points, so I'll strip down to my union jack pants and cheer them home. Otherwise we are f...

Hi Guys,thanks for coming to the gig..hope the jazz didn't put you off! Re. your query..(Just to clarify, certainly not snarky)In terms of the jazz thing- not so much a new direction. I've actually been singing jazz for coming on ten years (ooh, just...
