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...

Escondido Sandgate still closed, but free cocktails at Escondido Deal

Yeah shame

7k a month is not a lot of profit though I don't think for a place that size. Did not realise it was owned by a brewery, are you sure? I think it was independent.I heard the owners were scuppered after being fined for cutting down a tree, or somethin...

RE: COOL!

Wow - that'd be truly spooky message. But maybe better than something happening when you're at home like 'noise detected in the cellar near that abandoned burial ground'

Come on over to my place

Do you want to come and work here? See our recruitment video.I'm positive they said they would ask permission before they featured us, I think I'm pretty definitely featured there in the bit where they say WE'RE LOOKING FOR A WEB GURU!!! That's not m...

Talk about hedging your bets

New KISS t-shirts. I guess they're saying "just make sure you vote", but it's a bit like selling arms to both sides of the war isn't it?...

Rocket man lands in Dover today

Swiss jet pack flyer Yves Rossy had to postpone yesterday's attempted personal jet crossing of the channel, but with any luck he'll be landing in Dover today, so look out for him, keep your heads down! The Guardian has more, or (sorry I'm in a hurry)...

The George in Rye July newsletter

We've been rather quiet on the newsletter front lately, having been nominated for UK Newcomer of the Year in the CATEY Awards, the Oscars of the Restaurant and Hotel world (sadly, the ceremony was not in LA). This award has previously been won by the...

New Cross Murder Map!

Just in case you're wondering how close the double murder and firebombing was from my old flat (even though I left there years ago), I just knocked this up for Mum and Dad, to give them a bit of a point of reference.View Larger MapIsn't google maps j...

Only light rain at Glastonbury

Some rain overnight and a little more on the way at the festival, it says here in the Times, it's hardly news at all really is it. Watched Glastonbury the movie on TV last night, partly it made me really wish I was there, but when I analysed it I fou...

Is this who's bought the Metronome?

assura group has a metronome page, looks like they own other medical type facilities so this backs up the story of it being bought by a health care trust.Just found a PJ Harvey gig at the Metronome, and another where she almost played at Bottoms. But...

Woo we won a "Seven For All Mankind" auction at last!

Clare has got some �200 quid jeans on the way for just �13 pounds. They're not as-new or anything obviously, but should still be good jeans. I am aware that is suspiciously low, there must have been some clue that the jeans were fake, that we missed....

PHP 4 to 5 migration

Bit of an all encompassing thing this, I use PHP for work and for home, I've pretty much abandoned perl since I joined Holiday Extras a year and a half ago. PHP4, widely used everywhere, (including on this blog) is about to die. It's been on it's way...

Paper free billing from BT

Just got a letter, through the post, from BT, about paper free billing. I'm already signed up. How much can I save off my bill if you don't send me this junk mail?

Photo notes

This aquariam post is using the Flickr style notes, but using PhotoNotes, still seems there's no way of getting your existing notes out of Flickr.Changing the way I use my images on here, to make sure I'm not breaching Flickr's terms of service, migh...

[Crystal maze themed headline here]

Got home yesterday to find a new front door being fitted, it's amazing what you miss when you don't go to any of the residents meetings. So firstly, we have the inconvenience of only getting one key with this door, and new ones are fifteen pounds eac...

I need to get rid of some of those flickr slideshows...

Can't tell what the domain is from here because it's inside this building. Can you see www.holidayextras.co.uk?Right, those spare flickr slideshows are gone now......

It's not the show that's on TV, he's just being interviewed

It's on BBC Newsnight or something, but it's on at about quarter to six, so not Newsnight. The trailer was meant to be a load of outtakes from Ricky talking to camera, but it looked lame and unconvincing really.Not seen this show, so that's a treat f...

New bar in town

Bank Bar, in the converted bank vault below Kalala, anyone been inside yet? If I wasn't laden down with shopping as I went past just now I might have popped in......

The wife just reminded me that we have our new furniture arriving today, that's exciting! I say furniture, it's our sideboard for the TV to go on.Got a good weekend planned too, back to Blakes, and watching the rugby in Dover before that.More TV rela...

Macs are good for work too

They're good if you're quite techie, or if you're not at all techie, it's only if you're somewhere inbetween and only understand brand name windows products like excel say, that you might struggle.

Very nice

Can you lay any claim to ownership?
There must be a register of business ownership somewhere that could clear this up, have you tried the library?

Astoria

WILD furry trousers. Them, not me.

Barfly

Before I worked there, I think there were bands. THIS is why I left the Wonderstuff early, doh... There was a ruckus and the police sent us all home.

Manchester Town Hall

Belle & Sebastian

plus 60ft Dolls who brilliantly smashed the place up. Bis were meant to play too.

The Wedgewood Rooms

Can't remember what, but I know I was at something at the Wedge this night, while Placebo were at the Joiners. Maybe it was a caberet.
