The rest of the weekend

Went to The British Lion Saturday evening, and then sat up far too late when we got home listening to old Ricky Gervais shows. Sunday started late, we shopped, we cleaned, we ate, that was about it. Still tired today.Haha boo hoo, leave me alone, it'...

RE: The Sandgate Hotel,

Hi thereWell as you probably know the Sandgate Hotel closed down for a refit (coincidentally not long after the Ramsay Kitchen Nightmare programme). So was interested to go there when it reopened. It now looks much better inside - they've knocked thr...

When did Richard Curtis live in Folkestone?

Was he at school here? Coincidentally we watched Notting Hill on TV last night... anyway, The Guardian has a feature, Charles Nevin had a bee in his bonnet that some parts of the nation are funnier than others. So, in a totally non-scientific attempt...

The Strange Case of Sherlock Holmes and Arthur Conan Doyle

BBC 2 tonight, "The Strange Case of Sherlock Holmes and Arthur Conan Doyle", a one off (I think) drama about the birth and death of Sherlock Holmes. Looks good to me, though Radio Times says it's a "slow-moving, vaguely supernatural essay". Coincide...

Blah blah London blah blah

Suede were amazing

So glad we went to the Astoria to see Suede on Saturday, they were fantastic. They played two sets, the first being all the non singles that they say they wanted to play - coincidentally it was all their best songs, all the songs they've been ignorin...

John Windebank

My name is also John Windebank. My sister is currently researching our family tree. There is a possibility that there may be a connection as there are several similar christian names, which often happens in families.Coincidentally we have also foun...

PopEx Sells Out!

Hello all... probably no-one's noticed any difference, but officially popEx is under new ownership... it's still me (Pauly, nice to meet you) running the site, but someone else is paying the bills.Yesterday, http://www.fortunecity.com sold, and Chann...
