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...

RE: Fake GAP voucher

Yeah sorry about the London thing - when the boy gets back to sleeping I think we'll be up for it again. At least it saved you from going three weeks in a row as Clare must be especially bored of having to travel to London at weekends when she does ...

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...

Some shopping

Just went to Bluewater to try and get a telly for the kitchen (but no-one wanted to swap, hoho) and a new coat for Clare. BUT, the telly we had seen online didn't look nearly as good in the flesh, and all the others that did were more than we were th...

The only record I have that's worth any money

Going through mine and Clare's CD's, ripping all the one's I don't even listen to with a view to throwing them out, or at least packing them away somewhere. In searching for pictures, I accidentally hit Ebay for Terrorvision's Thrive EP. And it's got...

Updates

Travel update: twenty minutes late today, eitehr track circuit failure, or track surface failure, I was a bit too asleep to hear it. How can the surface fail? Must have been circuit. Why couldn't it have been another ten mins delay, taking us into re...

Really bad and sad news about Paul Hunter, he was only 27 and had just become a dad, should have known things were very serious when his ranking was frozen earlier this year, that's an unusual move, though we really thought and hoped he'd recover.Als...

'Incompetent' Home Office let Russian shoplifter go free | the Daily Mail

A cheery tale of an asylum seeking drug addict thief from the daily hate:A Judge yesterday described the Home Office as 'totally incompetent' after blunders left him unable to sentence a Russian serial shoplifter who was twice recommended for deporta...

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...

Yeah as I say it was before I lived there

Oh no, I sounded like one of those "Folkestone Arts" types... I loved Fresh and Wild, most people do, but I'm just saying that some people (the early adopter bohemian meeja types who lived in Stokey in the early '90s) see all chains as bad, but then ...

No, not grey squirrel curry!

Bad ITV, squirrels are friends, not food! Lord Inglewood, patron of North West Red Alert tries some the shock tactic of suggesting celebrities feed our furry friends to small children:What about celebrity chefs like Jamie Oliver promoting it for scho...

All my pictures at once

See all my pictures at once on flickr leech, or all anyone's pictures - now can you tell me how to sort out all those pictures that I've clearly uploaded twice. Straight off I can see all the Andy and Hazel in the curry house is duplicated, but can I...

RE: DARKSIDED!!!

I live in Seattle (geographically, just about as far away from this woman's home as one can get and still be within the US), and we're as dumbfounded by this display as you are. It frightens me to think that this woman votes, but at least I can now u...

William of Orange family tree

Not sure if / how any of those Windebank's mentioned fit in here, but just as an aside here's William of Orange's family tree.Our connection with that name is where Caroline Clarke married John Windebank, in the 1800s... we also have Harriet Ann Cole...

Mind the gap

I must apologise for the break in service... following Thursdays trickery about Clare meeting me for lunch, as she says she was not alone, in the pub were my best man and some other friends, they got me blindingly drunk and we went to Barcelona. The ...

Sorry to leave such a gap

Been away for the weekend, not running and hiding in fear, we went to a fabulous wedding up in Oxford. Got The Oxford Tube there late on Friday as we were already booked onto it, and it was alright. Comfortable enough and only 15 quid for an open ret...

My gigography

Getting there with my gigography now, a list of every gig I've been to, from 1987 up to last year. It's a natural progression from my Best Gigs Ever post. Well that's the theory, but there's A LOT missing. I have chucked in details from the big bag o...

So The Quarter is gone then

Not the actual creative quarter, just the free magazine, according to a story in this week's Folkestone Herald. The July issue will be the last one. No idea if they will keep the website going, or just let it gently expire.So, if you have a gig or ev...

Magpie

Saw a little tiding of magpies outside the flat this morning (oh yeah that's another thing I will miss, the wildlife out the back window that I never quite manage to catch on film), but they were brown. Not seen this before, thought maybe they were b...

London by London: The Insiders' Guide

The Ship

Had a dreadful dinner at a pub on the way to Dungeness, The Ship in Romney Marsh. It wasn't meant to be a high-falutin' fancy gourmet extravaganza, but it was meant to fill a gap, and it failed in this meagre task.Maybe they were busy, so we could le...
