Sandbanks Restaurant, The Pavilion, Wear Bay Road - Sat 23rd Aug

I haven't written one of these reviews for a while and, to be honest, I wondered whether I ever would again. There are only so many times you can be bothered to write something about crap food served by people who don't give a damn about good food o...

RE: Thanks for clearing that up!

She wasn't actually working at the time. Unfortunately I know who it was and some background on it. It is a shame but suicide is indeed a very selfish act but then society might be to blame for causing some of the ills of this world. I am not going t...

RE: Folkestone double death plunge smash horror tragedy!

I agree, darkmoonsider. I think it is inappropriate to 'feel sorry for' someone who has committed suicide. I do feel sorrow/care/concern for you and the other witnesses (who, I can promise, the young lady had no wish to hurt) and also for her family ...

RE: Folkestone double death plunge smash horror tragedy!

Yes she did! She actually came off of the Asda carpark and i certainly won't forget5 coming face to face with her smashed on the pavement! Suicide remains the most selfish act ever!!! I CANNOT find it within my self to feel sorry for.......best to wi...

RE: Folkestone recycling

Well, it was 1994 when I was last living in the great village of Folkestone, but at the time I was trying my very best with the Folkestone & Hythe council to seriously consider a plant whereby unhappy males could take their drunken partners and, erm....

York (being the fourth part of my holiday)

York is great, a lot like Canterbury, but seemingly with more pubs. Our hotel was the birth place of Guy Fawkes, and had sloping floors and four poster beds, proper historic. It practically butts up to the cathedral, not sure you can tell from my pho...

I'm the walking dude (and so's my wife)

RE: Blackpool (being the third part of my two week holiday write up)

Have to say I totally understand what you're saying about Blackpool - I've been there a few times on days out with Em (it's half an hour from Blackburn). It's a grim old place alright - stag and hen parties spilling out onto the street at ten in the ...

Edinburgh (being the second part of our holiday)

Edinburgh is nice. "Our kind of city" the wife wrote on her postcards, and I agree. We got a speedy train there from Carlisle into Edinburgh Haymarket, this was the side of the city we were staying on. We could have been a bit closer to the action bu...
