Apologies, I was drunk when I posted that

It's fairly local, that's the exciting thing. The likes of Ricky Gervais, visiting our humble county, whoever would have imagined such a thing....

Roast potato and garlic bread

No, not "roast potato" and "garlic bread", but actually bread made with garlic and roast potatoes, can you imagine such a thing? I got some at the weekend from Karl's Good Food.It was nice, subtler than I was expecting, great bread though. The place ...

Something apparently "as pikey as Wilkinsons" to open in Folkestone

What on earth could that be? And HOW on earth could it be? I'm still reeling from the thought of that new shopping centre opening with a pound store in it on its very first day. Now Wilkinsons opens today, some good bargain drain unblocker and that b...

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...

Short weekend

Where did that go then? I'm sure I was only at work an hour or so ago and now it's time to go back again... Tired today, had quite an action packed weekend that just went too fast. Started off with work drinks in Trashford, a couple in the Phoenix (S...

I don't even know why I said it, a bit of Friday afternoon frivolity is all

Some of my best family are vegetarians, and I've been vegan for about fifteen years now, that's why I posted that original thing. You're right though, most people are scum.Got plans for the weekend? I'm out in Trashford tonight with people from work,...

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...

Didn't go to Canterbury all weekend!

Imagine that... Overslept Sunday morning, so we went to Escondido for lunch instead. The chef got my food wrong again, so for the second time in a row mine came free, that's nice. Apparently Escondido weren't quite recovered from a disaster the previ...

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

Have you been to Blackpool? DON'T EVER EVER GO THERE, man alive, it was the worst place I've ever been to. A few people gave me odd looks when I said I was going to Blackpool for a couple of days as part of our grand tour, but only one person got clo...

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...

RE: Blood on the tracks

first thing I thought of when I saw the trailer for this was - hey it's Skink! sounds like he's not far from the mark.from http://www.carlhiaasen.com"Skink, who first appears in Double Whammy, the bass-fishing novel, was conceived as sort of a wild h...

An honest day's work!

Lawks, that frightened me a bit, today I have been WORKING! Not real work, tapping on a keyboard, but monkeying about decorating Dean's front room. We worked all day on it, and to be honest it's looking slightly worse than when we started, so I think...

RE: Berlin was good

I *heart* berlin, but its a bit tricky being a veggie so I cant imagine how you coped!! Can't wait to get back sometime in the next 20 years..

RE: Cheers, sounds good

Yep. It is a tech head they are looking for. I dont imagine it pays enough though...

Impressions of Tontine Street, a first visit to a new bar

Heard there was a new bar in town, Impressions, and so there is, it's at 33 Tontine Street, opposite Pipers, where a curry house used to be. It is a bar bistro, and looks like it's open daytimes too, though we didn't go in until the evening. Got ther...

RE: Doing the red eye thing

nah - you have to be proper vain to edit pics of yourself....not that i've ever done it.....i just meant that i would have imagined a man of your technical prowess would not have red eye. strangely it doesnt show up as much on you....are you satan?...

Too hungover to weblog yesterday

Feeling fresher today just about, let me get my gripe of the day out of the way first though. Today's train had the most annoying conductor on it, he just LOVED the sound of his own voice and I think he thought he was Bruce Forsyth, he announced ever...

BUMS!

Motley Crue are supporting Guns'n'Roses in Dublin this Summer, and we're at a wedding that day! G'n'R are playing Download Festival too, can't imagine the 'Crue playing that though. Will there be a normal London date? Will we go? Can't see it...Today...

We turned the room around

Imagine the window's on the West wall, and the fire's on the North, now the TV and the door are on the East wall and the new bookcases are on the, er, SOUTH, that's it. Sofa's in the middle of the room, looking a bit sad and out of place, it's got to...

I thought it was only the 1.0 or previous that could do the unauthorised stuff?

Gah, have I messed up? We are on 2.60 now. I don't imagine it's easy to change down to an earlier version of the firmware... Cheers for the links...

Google Talk

Google Talk is up and running, Google's answer to MSN etc... hope it can chat across networks, will find out. Seems it's a service that can be connected to with other clients, so a jabber type client that can also talk to MSN people would seem to be ...

You've been framed

That email address just bounced

I wouldn't imagine we're related though...

Oh - and I'd imagine PA subs cost a fortune, although you could always ask... http://www.pa.press.netYears ago, Compuserve used to publish loads of PA stuff, and I worked for a news agency which, um, lifted it and presented it as our own......

I'd imagine if they opened their mouths, there would be a similarity !

Defending The Ship!

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience at the Ship. I've eaten there many many times and had great food, especially the fish and chips - always the biggest piece of fhish you can imagine and fresh chunky chips. I can also heartily recommend the steak...

Just got the new Darkness single

"Love is Only A Feeling"It's out on "limited edition" 7'' picture disc, which I have, I doubt it's all that limited though... there's a DVD and a regular CD, and every cash in format you can imagine, I hope it's enough to send this one to number one,...
