Whoop, am I back in the ebay affiliate scheme again?

All it needed was a little chasing up, they had some problem sending the automated email, Iw asn't barred or anything. Now as a test, check out this Habitat Radius double bed, not something I'm bidding on myself, just the only Habitat Radius piece av...

not actually been banned

they just changed who their affiliate scheme is with, I applied to the new one and they say they're getting round to responding to everyone... They've not got around to me yet. The old affiliate code still works, see the ebay stuff in the right hand ...

Zoo thousand and HATE!

The Zoo Thousand Port Lymne festival sounds like the festival was awful, no-one really has a good word to say about it at work. At least two of the headliners did not play (but as the headliners were Athlete and Dizzee Rascal) that's not necessarily...

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...

10 myths about vegans

www.bboheme.com (who I once bought some shoes from) emailed me today to tell me it's world vegan day and to share with me an advert for their shoes and things, cunningly wrapped in a "10 Myths about Vegans" list. They know bloggers love lists like fr...

And a Folkestone property update

The basement flat next door (but still in my block) sold over the summer for only �110,000, that's a lot less than I hope this one's worth. It is only a one bedder, and in the basement, and the whole thing has been gutted by the new purchaser, so we'...

Day of SPORT

No, more likely day of EATING, with SPORT for dessert. Don't suppose we'll see any of the England v Estonia game today though you never know, we will be in Canterbury. There's some kind of food fair on in Dane John gardens, which is near the bus stat...

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...

The Lesson Of The Smiths

I forgot to say, recently I bought a single, an EP in fact, and it's great, and you should get it too. I was reminded of this by this email update from MJ Hibbett: Our EXCITING new single, "The Lesson Of The Smiths/The Gay Train" came out last month,...

Sandgate Dolphin on YouTube: DON'T WATCH IT

OK, you can watch this footage of "Dave", the Folkestone / Sandgate dolphin on YouTube, but don't go out harrassing him to film any more, please.At least this footage is taken from the shore, with a zoom. Seriously, don't go chasing him in a boat. Ge...

RE: The plan is to keep the flat too

Many congrats on the new job - oh the irony of working for a travel firm and then... not having to travel!Go for it with the second property. I was surprised how easy it was for us to achieve this. We turned it all around within three months - that's...

Cheers for the tip

Are they pre-approving purchasers then? I heard they've been doing more and more unusual things to try and make sure it's young people and students who go...

Clifton Hotel

Rumour has it that my great-great-grandmother purchased the Clifton Hotel for my grandmother (Mavis Gordon, nee Lyne-Smith) and her husband, Kenneth Gordon, to run. Can anybody substantiate this?

RE: It's more and more like Miami Vice round here every day

Good choice on the purchase of the Buddha - we have a few dotted around the house, some really cheery ones. I want a big stone one for the garden but Hazel won't allow it :o( Got a picture of yours?

GOOD interview

Spent a few hours with a really cool company earlier, hope they are thinking the same kind of salary I'm thinking. There was a range advertised with the job, I hope they agree with me that I'm at the top of that range. Oh, and that they are intereste...

Number one result for "Habitat Radius"

Was just trying to find the furniture we bought at the weekend, and all the top results are me, how strange. It's down to Habitat's website being quite bad, the whole flash interface makes it hard to index, so my pages are coming up top. ANYWAY, here...

RE: Hazzards of Shedfield, Hants

Hi sorry if this is some what late to your enquiries, my Granfather was William James Hazzard
1883-1955 he lived in Waltham Chase and had 2 sons and 21 daughter.

Welcome to Miami!

Or, rather, from Miami, or even (by the time I write this up) hello from England, Miami sends its regards. Just BACK from a trip to the US of States to visit Clare's bro and sister-in-law in the pan-handle bit of the Americas. Tiring flight over to M...

Godden will sell the land quite happily though

So no need for that, he wants full market rate for it though, and now it has planning permission that's a lot more than when it did not. Who would set the price for the compulsory purchase?I see there is another compulsory purchase (or maybe even a c...

RE: I couldn't find mention of this in the paper

Ha! The guy from Trent would say that wouldn't he?Actually, if the council accept the D'Haan/Foster designs as the masterplan for the area, then Godden/Trent will be forced to build according to the plan - or have their land compulsorily purchased so...

Mobile game reviews

Might do some work for a Mobile gaming company, not a company that actually makes mobile games, but a company that has a site that writes mobile game reviews and has mobile phone game news and things. Not much of a mobile gamer myself and might not e...

Squirrel plants super walnut tree

A lovely gardening story, not that much squirrel content actually. Now onto the weekend review!We went to Rye, and it is nice. We mooched around some very very old buildings and shops and things, and had a look inside Henry James' house, and did all ...

RE: There's a high speed rail link on the way

Pauly, I'm looking to relocate to Folkestone as I want to get out of London and commute to Office. Attracted to Folkestone because of all the investment + major reason being high speed link. However everyone I ask has a different opinion on whether...

The rest of the weekend

Far too much eating and drinking the rest of the weekend too, it's almost good to be back at work... No, it's not, that's ridiculous, it was a great weekend. We did return to the beer festival again, and then went home and watched Taxi (not this one)...

Venice hoofs Folkestone out of the record books

Venice has hoofed Folkestone out of the record books, now a Turner painting of the Grand Canal in Venice has become his most expensive work, at over twenty million quid. Previously it was a view of Folkestone, sold in 1984 for somewhere around nine m...

It's Not Easy Being Green

I quite enjoyed this programme last night, if you have not seen it here's a book of it, it's about a family who obviously have a shitload of money becoming an eco commune. Generally, posh hippies make me want to kick the telly in, but this was quite ...

SOS Folkestone

On a technical level, I don't like www.sosfolkestone.info but that could be just me being a nerd. They do have a little forum there with a lot more activity than this one, and some more info on Roger Dehaan's masterplan for Folkestone, including some...
