sorry to come to this really late...but the Metronome was a great venue...and indeed, i can confirm i saw the following bands there...cardiacs/levitationkingmaker (supported by Suede in the week The Drowners was released)manics (don't remember it bei...

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...

hi hopes dashed!!

On 8th March my girlfriend and I decided to visit Cafe Belge in Canterbury with another couple who had highly recommended the restaurant to us. I must say that none of the four of us have ever received a service as rude and discourteous as we receive...

RE: Who says the housing market is dead?

Are you moving again? It seems like only yesterday that you left your deborturous London ways behind you and headed to leafy Folkstone. Are you looking to get a bigger pad to accommodate little Paulies?Like the new text entry box, very cool indeed. A...

Hell yeah, encouragement, that's what I need!

Well it was a lunch more than an actual party, and there's really not a huge amount to report, and you're not interested anyway, but HELLO TO ME IN THE FUTURE, how's it going five years from now? Do you remember that day, about five years ago, when y...

10 myths about vegans

www.bboheme.com (who I once bought some shoes from) emailed me today to tell me it's world vegan day and to share with me an advert for their shoes and things, cunningly wrapped in a "10 Myths about Vegans" list. They know bloggers love lists like fr...

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

blackpool is indeed an awful place, you should have gone to southport which is lovely, as my friend commented to some residents when we were last there "its up north, but its still quite nice"

The Lesson Of The Smiths

I forgot to say, recently I bought a single, an EP in fact, and it's great, and you should get it too. I was reminded of this by this email update from MJ Hibbett: Our EXCITING new single, "The Lesson Of The Smiths/The Gay Train" came out last month,...

Top weekend

Great weekend visiting, eating, and drinking, very nice indeed, cheers. Not such a bad journey down to Fareham as it might have been, considering it was the bank holiday and traffic was supposed to be monstrous. Normal holdups around Hindhead and the...

So here's the Guardian story THE MAN couldn't hush up

Cash for honours: key document names LevyIt's been good for The Guardian I'm sure, I bought one today to see what the fuss was about; on BBC Breakfast this morning they were so wary of the story they didn't even have a copy of the Guardian on their d...

Have a look out of my kitchen window

A lovely sky from the other morning... shepherd's warning indeed!

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...

Rabbits and finches

Walk home from work today wasn't so dark, not pitch black anyway, not sure if that's the position of the moon or something, or that it's really getting lighter. We went to the office at the weekend, so I could show Clare where it was, and we saw a ra...

Seen the forum?

Submitted by admin on Tue, 2007-01-23 18:35.Well done Questers, I see you have discovered the mistake in the third puzzle of the Trial by Fire. The correct answer was indeed B. I have ensured that all players who clicked "I don't know" and planted th...

Ripper indeed

Been plotting some writings regarding the Ipswich prostitute murders, getting a bit annoyed at the press calling this guy "the ripper". He's not ripped so much as a sheet of toilet paper as far as we know, he's been suffocating in Suffolk, can no-one...

Belated weekend roundup

Weekend start sort of badly, and then sort of worse, and then actually got going really very well indeed. Train home hit some kind of delay, caused by some kind of delay on another train. That's as much detail as we've come to expect in the non expla...

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...

History in my day

Another bright and breezy morning, just cool enough to stop me walking down town in just a t-shirt, but warm enough not to stop me walking down town at all. I headed the usual route past the courts and the DSS (all the nice scenic points), to what I�...

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...

Original Harry Clarke artwork

I was just browsing ABE Books for Harry Clarke, as I knew they had some signed first editions and things, albeit at high prices. So what's the most expensive thing on there I wondered? Only this original water colour of The Emperor's New Clothes, thi...

Where did summer go?

Crap weather today, I am almost jealous of everyone we know who is off on holiday right now... took a windy bus ride into Canterbury today for a lovely yasai chilli men at Wagamama, and a bit of shopping and pubbing. Got hugely delayed on the way hom...

Nice long weekend in Sandgate, Folkestone, Hythe and Portchester

FINE weekend, thank you far asking, good long weekend too, but a bit tiring. Thursday was birthday day (my birthday and also the wife's birthday), and while we were working in the day we'd booked the Friday off so we could have a night out with no fe...

Busy bee

Bit busy with things to update this week, sorry all. Had a lovely weekend, including a rare Friday night out to Harveys and Skuba, and then a fabulous spontaneous huge night out on Saturday too. Sunday went to Samphire Hoe and took a walk along Dover...

Kirstie and Phil tip DOVER!

No not "tipped over", they recommend Dover as a good place to invest, they say it's a high risk investment though... indeed, buy in Folkestone instead!...

RE: Got one!

Stone me - that's a nice big sofa - now you can Advertise Things! you see, I reckon it's big enough to be handy as proper banner advertisement sofa for lifestyle apartment blocks - you know the type - you see the big adverts outside new luxury apartm...

American rock band indeed...

The brothers of the band were born in Scotland, but raised in Australia, and the rest were Australian. The singer now - Brian Johnson - is a Geordie, and there might be other international types added more recently. Check out more AC/DC history.Just ...

The Earl Grey, still going!

Popped in The Earl Grey for one too on a bit of a crawl around town on Saturday evening, it's changed style a bit since I last went in there, it's very studenty indeed, though not menacing at all as it has been at points in the past.The real beer see...

It's good to be back, it's good to be back

Thankyou for the concerned phonecalls and emails and texts, I am all OK, just had a few days away from work and the computer with a bad back, too much housework I reckon. Gave me a nice relaxing time in front of the TV though.Before all that, let me ...
