Your musical compatibility with pauldraper is Low

Hurrah, that's good! Paul Draper was in Mansun, who I used to really like I liked them most early on, hoping they would become huge so the super rare first single would be worth some money, but it didn't really happen.Thanks popbitch for that link to...

Apothecary cabinet strangeness in Surrey

You will of course remember this cabinet that I bigged up recently, it was listed for �100 and I put in a few bids for it, as I liked it and it's full price would be over two grand and it matches what we've got. It sold in the end for �545 to someone...

PHREADZ podcast

Well sort of. Some of the content from Kosso's phreadz.com is also available in MP4 format, which is kind of handy for ipod video. So I'm hoping this feed will populate my ipod with the fascinating conversations these guys are having. Only some of th...

Hibbett's Edinburgh festival show confirmed for The Medina

Meanwhile the PLANS for "My Exciting Life In ROCK", our Edinburgh Fringe Show, are moving along. I think I've pretty much worked out which songs and which stories will be featured, as well as how it's all going to hang together. I've not tried it out...

Britain By Cub

Charity appeal from someone at work:I was just briefly hoping to make you aware of a fund raising event two of my friends are taking part in on behalf of Demelza House who as you may know do fantastic work caring for terminally ill children. The even...

RE: The New Inn, Etchinghill

I absolutely agree with Chris about the New Inn. My girlfriend and I have only been there on a Sunday, but they do a great Sunday lunch. The service is friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed and the food is very good. It makes a pleasant change to see a...

It's a long way to Gutsy Gibbon

This version is Dapper Drake. I got a CD of a more recent version off someone at work hoping I could start again from there and then upgrade to the latest, but if I try that my wireless connection is lost immediately, and without that I can do nothin...

Do you really think DeHaan has made any money on this yet?

He's spent money but is unlikely to have anything other than humungous losses so far I'd have thought.Are you a homeowner in the area? I am, I'm hoping to make some money, damn this property slump, roll on the high speed rail link and the hordes of l...

That was posted two years ago, I guess they're unlikely to find you again now

Here's hoping though, you found this site by searching for the name so I hope someone else does too.

Good luck to your uncle, hope he finds a family fortune!

man and van needed today 12/12 or tommorow

I need to get a 3seater sofa that has been given to us to my flat in folkestone from canterbury, was hoping someone local may be available please? jackie

Magic Numbers every bit as good as I predicted

OK my prediction of Morrissey joining them on stage was a complete fabrication, but we did get Bernard Butler appearing with them to perform "Love's a Game", which then medleyed on into "People Get Ready". They did another wacky ending of another of ...

The first rule of wine club

Anyone in a wine club? Got any recommendations? Someone's sent me an introductory thing for Sunday Times Wine Club and I'm wondering whether to give it a go. I'm hoping it'll give us the chance to try some different wines, without having to leave the...

RE: Oof, just deleted the whole site

Never attempt something technical like that in live before 9am - it'll only end in tears.

In other news, are you preparing for the flood? Are you safely ensconced on higher ground, or are you hoping your flat is going to be high enough?

Rugby, RESULT

What a great game and result on Saturday! we started off as usual with a trip to Canterbury, where there was a local food fair on, with stalls and demonstrations and things, and lots of local food producers in attendance. Got some bread and some plan...

There was me worried about embarrassing myself...

We have a couple of vacancies on the programming team at work, all the applicants have been given a PHP test to do, and some of the scores had been a bit weak, so the bosses wondered if the test was too hard, so they gave it to all the existing staff...

Party weekend

Bah, I wrote this out once already and closed the browser by mistake... had kind of a busy week at work, that's got to be a good thing, but it's meant not really any time for writing here in the day time, and some days have seen me concentrating on s...

Long weekend

Been away a long time (apart from my little post this morning about wireless things) and we fitted quite a lot in really, felt like a proper holiday since my complaints about QI.Our afternoon out in Canterbury was good, though not absolutely everythi...

RE: Boo

That's a shame, I was hoping to hear some insider chat about the filming of the show, I'm a big fan.

Boo

We didn't get in to QI yesterday, it was hugely over subscribed and we didn't turn up early enough. We got close to the front of the queue, but not close enough, bah. We had a smashing pizza express though, and a few drinks in different pubs around W...

I survived the Folkestone earthquake

yo,I've designed some t-shirts, for us to remember the crazy earthquake in Folkestone on 28/04/07. Luckily, nobody was killed or seriously hurt, just damage to houses, and here's hoping people's properties are back to how they were before the Quake a...

Quiz fun

Broke with tradition yesteray at the Ship Inn quiz, it was a slightly weakened turnout, so we three were split into two teams. That was me on my own, and Clare and her mum on another team. Neither team did that badly I thought, though if you look at ...

RE: TCPMP to view them on the ipod

do you mean tcpmp to view them on the ipaq?

virtual dub is a h to the a to the double s l e dizzle alright. i was hoping that there's some snazzy little program what does it all for you. harumf.

Christmas telly

Time for some christmas roundup type things, I really did have a great time during our extended break, so much so that I didn't post all the tedious minutiae (can you tell from my embiggened vocabulary I've been playing a lot of Scrabble?), so I'll t...

Too busy being festive to update

Been doing all the usual things though, one lot of xmas drinks with some friends that I don't see often enough, no christmas drinks with other friends that I'm not going to see now until after christmas, what with living too far away, a great shame. ...

Thursday morning roundup

Just caught the end of something on BBC Breakfast, advice on blogging and work, or why not to blog about work, something like that. A few sites / posts were held up as bad examples, I wasn't one of them, it was all fairly basic stuff:* Don't be posti...

Roundup

Interview yesterday was good, but it's a small company and I'm still after more money than they can afford. It wis great to work on interesting projects, but I'm still holding out for a higher wage too right now, we have a mortgage and want a new hou...

RE: Fry!

It's a two part thing. The next one is tomorrow, I think. I'm hoping it stops talking about psychiatry all the time and gets onto something useful.

RE: Excitement for this week:

talking of gigs - was gutted to miss out on the killers tickets down at brixton academy - was on holiday and they're like �50+ a pair on ebay. hoping they'll do some extra dates....

Excitement for this week:

Hmm, so far not much. I am mostly pinning my hopes on one job offer that I'm expecting to hear back from any minute now. It's a really good fit for my skills and experience, I only hope I don't get "gazumped" by someone offering to do the job for hal...
