Waterloo and shitty line more like

Apr82005

My new way of getting to the train (Chancery Lane - Tottenham Court Road - Charing Cross) was pretty quick yesterday but THE STORM on the way to the tube was frightening! AND, this morning, I tried coming via the Waterloo and City line, and it sucked. Waterloo and Bank are far too big as stations to change at, it's a good five minute walk through each one, which slowed me right down.

At least we didn't get the snow that was forecast, yet. If we get it in London, chances are we won't in Folkestone, and vice versa. There's something about The Downs that means Folkestone gets whatever weather France gets instead. Ooh la la!

Everyone's dissing it, but I found that new Oasis single quite catchy. We're listening to the new album in the office right now, heard bits of Velvet Underground's "Waiting for my man" and Neil Young's "Like a Hurricane" in there so far, I think it's pretty good.

I thought the storm on London yesterday was quite impressive. We were in Covent Garden when it started. Thankfully we didn't get too wet or cold.

As for gigs in Dover...No, I don't think there is much, it all tends to be at the Louis Armstrong. There are some at the Swingate Inn, which is, I think, between Dover and St. Margaret's Bay. Never been to either. Used to go in the Eight Bells a fair bit. After 8pm, it's not so nice, and some of the local alcoholics that go there send shivers up my spine.

Canterbury is much, much better for gigs and pubs to visit.

Never linked Folkestone myself. I grew up in Dover, grew up to hate it, as well as my usual visits to Folkestone to get myself pummelled by physiotherapists, and get teeth ripped out by orthodontists. Thankfully, I moved north of the River last year, and now reside in a village in Essex, in the middle of nowhere ;)

Congratulations on your engagement and impending wedding. We're getting married too (but no date set yet). Have a good weekend :)

Over to you, discussion about anything local, but please be considerate... Folkestone on TV, Kent gigs, Find a flatmate, rent a room, property queries, current news, what's new, local events, for sale, local services, what I like about Folkestone, ask questions, offer advice, plug yourself... the more it's used the more useful a resource it will become. If you want a gig listed click here to add it (fixed now!), or just click here to post a message...
