First review of Zoo Thousand and Eight in

Here at www.safeconcerts.com, sounds a bit chaotic, more rumours of cancellations than actual cancellations possibly though.More here, seems Lethal Bizzle was promoted to replace Dizzee Rascal, not a bad call I wouldn't have said, though one was a Me...

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...

A lovely offer from The Hermitage

A contributor to the forum posted about a disappointing anniversary meal they'd had at a local restaurant in January. And The Hermitage have chipped in, this story obviously tugged their heart strings like it did mine, but they've actually put their ...

Anyone care to leave a message in English?

I'm losing track of what's going on here...

Did Channelfly get taken over by Mean Fiddler (or the other way round)?

Just got a strange MAMA Live email, grouping the Barfly and Mean Fiddler venues together:I know Barfly had taken over Kentish Town Forum, but it looks like even more has gone on now, since I left. Hasn't done anything for their share price though, I ...

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...

RE: Folkestone and its neighbourhood by S. J. Mackie

I don't know about the "low price" bit, but it's easy to get one from ABE Books, it'll cost up to one hundred pounds, though there's one here for less. I didn't yet buy one, even though I said two years ago that I definitely would. I'm still looking ...

Buffy / Doctor Who crossover

Kind of... James Marsters (Spike out of Buffy) is going to appear on Torchwood tonight, just a guest role. Also Joss Whedon was spotted at the BBC a couple of days ago, I read it on the popbitch forum (so it's definitely true...), wonder if it's conn...

Not sure where that came from...

... but I just got my old PC internetting wirelessly at last, without needing to buy any new bits, and by following a forum post from 2005. How many times have I tried this and failed? This time I tried something new, and it worked. I think I was ins...

New JSON feed of my blog

Oh that'll come in handy for all those mashups based around me you've been planning... Not a straight feed of what I post every day, it searches the content of the site, probably seven or eight years worth of postings now. JSON is "javascript object ...

Cheers for those

I've put the other pictures at the top of the forum, (search for Pretty Things pictures if you're arriving here much later) and you'll see them rotating on the site too.Any more old pics you can find, please send them in, and if you're sister would l...

Splendid weekended

Great weekend, went to visit the folks and we got down in plenty of time to go to Portsmouth Dockyard and see the Mary Rose and the Victory. The Mary Rose was more interesting than I thought, it's not just a big lump of driftwood, but the Victory was...

RE: On Folkestone is closing

Perhaps because it's actually a navigable forum?
I'm sad to see this forum close, it was useful when I first came to the town.
I am a member at both and feel that Folkestone Forums is a worthy sucessor to OnFolkestone.

Buffy, BACK!

Mikku powder

Got the Wagamama cookbook yesterday, and am giving Yasai Itame a try today. It's a bit fiddly really, in terms of having to buy a whole load of ingredients I didn't have in, but hopefully it will be good, it's our favourite dish in Wagamama. Got a co...

On Folkestone is closing

It is with regret that I am sending this email. Tom and I have decided to let Onfolkestone pass away. Onfolkestone has always incurred operational costs, and given the lack of activity, we can't justify spending them for the next year. The hosting fo...

Try and get a local paper

There's very little info online actually, www.lcrhq.co.uk might have info on the high speed rail link, AFAIK still not due until the end of 2009, and that's not allowing for any new postponements. I made the move from London with all this in mind tho...

wg111 (wifi) + ubuntu (linux) still not playing nicely

Everything was good until I upgraded to the newer "Feisty Fawn" version of ubuntu, now we're back to the drawing board. I have no wifi and sometimes I have no keyboard or mouse either. If any of the following instructions (which I'm copying and pasti...

Wahey wa-ireless!

First post from the new computer, well the old, very old computer, but using the new operating system and wireless. It's not perfect, the connection does keep dropping, but that could be any number of things. It's been quite a long struggle as the ca...

"Only" three more series of Lost after this one

I'm still really into it, but don't entirely believe anything the producers of Lost say so will see how this report from Yahoo pans out. Apparently there will only be three more short series of sixteen episodes each of Lost after this one.Really enjo...

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...

Lost and beer

Just got me the new episode of Lost and from the quick preview I've had of it looks like it's going to be about Sawyer. The last few episodes have been absolutely fantastic, even the Nikki and Paolo episode "Expose" which I was expecting to be awful....

I knew that

That's in reference to my new bookmark The Passingham Family Blog: May 2006 Archives there is it? I saw our Edward Windebank (son of John Windebank) was born in 1847, so it sounded pretty good to me, but I can't tell if the thing they've transcribed ...
