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...

St Tropez of culture

Does this sound familiar? From Saturday's GuardianPierre Cardin, the millionaire Paris fashion designer and businessman who has spent millions restoring the castle, is trying to turn the village into a "St Tropez of culture". After establishing his o...

Folkestone Triennial: Tales of Time and Space

Are you ready for the Folkestone Triennial? There's a launch event down at the harbour on Saturday 14th, at the Ark Cafe... what is that then? Did it not burn down? I will have to investigate (where it is, and what is there now, not the actual myster...

Wedding video and new jeans

Had a slightly rum Saturday night out but then a lovely Sunday afternoon to follow. Felt a bit queasy on Saturday so although we went out to Folkestone in the day, and had lunch at The Whole World Cafe (felty queasy before we went there, certainly no...

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...

Folkestone double death plunge smash horror tragedy!

Yoinks, yesterday someone chucked themselves off the roof of Bouverie Square in Folkestone, and today the end of our road was sealed off by police because of a "scene". Police were stopping anyone getting close to what had happened, so a) we had to w...

good point re the jumping graphics, been meaning to fix that for a while

I am a vegan and am tempted to go there if they can rustle something up for me, but mostly I do just like to keep quiet and order something safe from the menu, sounds like that's not an option here...

RE: A proper slating for cafe belge!

Would be helpful if the site set aside a specific dpace for the changing graphics (photographs) as reading was made extremely difficult by the reformatting of the paragraphs every few seconds.However, I will not be going to cafe Belge, with or withou...

A proper slating for cafe belge!

These people sound like they had a bad time too. It doesn't sound the sort of place to go to as a vegan / vegetarian anyway.

Ah, I see, the same review being spammed around everywhere!

hi hopes dashed!!

On 8th March my girlfriend and I decided to visit Cafe Belge in Canterbury with another couple who had highly recommended the restaurant to us. I must say that none of the four of us have ever received a service as rude and discourteous as we receive...

Canterbury, but not house hunting

Not a bad weekend. Started on a bum note, with a death, my sister's ma-in-law passed away unexpectedly on Friday, so thoughts with all the families involved obviously. Saturday we stayed local, didn't go to Canterbury as Clare was having lunch with h...

Stencilling

I like this, a stencil from Onion Bag Blogger, after Banksy. That's a potatoshop effect rather than a realistic stencil you could print and cut out out I think (see the fuzzy edges), but nice.How to stencil, stenciling 1000 video, Use GIMP to make st...

Another house hunting trip to Canterbury

Saw three places today, first one before lunch was at Forty Acres Road, Canterbury and was a three bedroom (just about) but with plenty of room downstairs. Good sized lounge, downstairs bathroom, and a nice kitchen that was open to a big conservatory...

Weekend! Curry! Spazzy twitches! Everything!

Great weekend, bailed out of work slightly early and got the train to Mum and Dad's, for a nice long relaxing weekend. As previously mentioned, Clare was in London drinking and dancing with her friends, and definitely not lighting fires, and I was he...

If a picture paints a thousand words...

Does this video clip of us in Belgium this weekend make anything I have to say on the subject completely redundant?See, Mum, Dad, Clare and me on a humungous big wheel, part of the Plaisers d'Hiver festival type affair that was going in Brussels this...

Fake GAP voucher

Hmm, I smell bullshit, there's a supposedly fake GAP voucher doing the rounds offering a 60% discount at GAP today, I heard about this on www.bbc.co.uk/breakfast - don't worry though, GAP will still be offering a genuine 30% discount to anyone turnin...

What are the Whole World Cafe up to?

A friend has been there twice recently, and failed to get any food either time. What sort of cafe has no food? Apparently there is some sort of re-opening of it going on about now. Someone let me know when it's up and running and serving and everythi...

Top weekend

Great weekend visiting, eating, and drinking, very nice indeed, cheers. Not such a bad journey down to Fareham as it might have been, considering it was the bank holiday and traffic was supposed to be monstrous. Normal holdups around Hindhead and the...

Boom shake the room!

Well I suspect you've all been frantically refreshing wondering when I'd report from this morning's earthquake! Amazingly it was three and a half hours ago now, the power was off until just recently so there wasn't a lot I could do, no internets, and...

Whole World Cafe: GOOD

Saturday we headed to The Whole World Cafe, and what do you know it was actually open this time? We were a bit previous on our other two visits. It's a nice place, not sure they're quite up to speed yet, but salads and coffee and juice were good, and...

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...

This ain't no technological breakdown

This is the road to V. Back in the day I would have posted a link there on popex, because someone somewhere was getting paid for it, but this time I'm posting that link because an old chum from work is the singer in that band, so go listen to his tun...
