Anyone got anything to say about Folkestone that doesn't involve machetes?

Anyone got anything to say about Folkestone that doesn't involve machetes?

Lordy all these tweeting and retweeting, see what the front page of [looks like at the moment! [[http://twitter.com/rmtimes @rmtimes](http://www.folkestonegerald.com the Gerald]]) seems to have broken the story and we've all passed it on, and every time someone else passed it on I've retweeted them because they mentioned Folkestone. It's not even like the machete attack was in Folkestone, the chaps were just arrested here, it happened in Peterborough!

Can't we talk about something cheerier? What else is going on? I'm going to a boot fair on Shorncliffe Road in the morning, do come along and buy all my CD's. Well buy what's left, sold about 80 today at work, so there's only about A THOUSAND left...

This is part of my website The Folkestone Gerald that I built in a fury of excitement when I first came to Folkestone sometime in '04. I'd been a frequent visitor for a few years previous to that so I am technically one of those DFLs you get nowadays. The site was updated more frequently with a calendar of events and voting for favourite places and stuff, and I know it was a useful resource for those who were moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as The town is now becoming the exciting place we always thought it was about to become. I am not Gerald BTW, the name comes from a pretend paper in an episode of Brasseye or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do get in touch if you have something to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
