Famous people who have lived in Folkestone

I'm looking for help online with a geocaching puzzle that a friend at work has set, it relates to a famous grave and plaque in Folkestone somewhere. No joy yet, but I did find this PDF of Folkestone Town Crier (the newsletter of the town council). It...

Great quiz at Chambers this bank holiday weekend

Shame I didn't know about it in advance so I could big it up here... no we didn't win, in fact we didn't even get to the pub in time to join in properly, but we sat and drank and played along anyway, very enjoyable!

Folkestone double death plunge smash horror tragedy!

Yoinks, yesterday someone chucked themselves off the roof of Bouverie Square in Folkestone, and today the end of our road was sealed off by police because of a "scene". Police were stopping anyone getting close to what had happened, so a) we had to w...

And this one doesn't sound like an advert

Very fair and balanced comments, thank you very much for this. I've not eaten at The New Inn yet, but I have relatives who live just round the corner so have been there for the quiz a few times and for a drink. Nice place, as you say it's more about ...

Mighty Easter weekender, with The Cure

Hope you've all had as good an extended weekend as I have. As is usual when I've been off for a few days and not written up just went on immediately, I'm starting to forget it all. We're up now, on the last day of our five day break and I have a few ...

Canterbury, but not house hunting

Not a bad weekend. Started on a bum note, with a death, my sister's ma-in-law passed away unexpectedly on Friday, so thoughts with all the families involved obviously. Saturday we stayed local, didn't go to Canterbury as Clare was having lunch with h...

Through to the semi-finals

We're having one of our "fun days" at work, got a team music quiz going on throughout the day, we're playing Buzz! The Music Quiz. And we're through to the semi finals!UPDATE: And we won! Heard a rumour part way through that the odds-on favourite had...

Big shout out to Chambers

Thanks for the kind words at the quiz yesterday, which was great. Free drinks and sweets presents for everybody, you can't argue with that.The presents were a pretty funky laser pointer / torch combo for everyone, a santa hat with flashing lights, an...

Festive Fun

Welcome back after the christmas break, hope you had a good one. We did, felt a bit quiet though, no big late nights or anything. Kind of handy really, as I'm back in work today, I volunteered to be in on these (hopefully) quiet days between christma...

The sister-in-law's waters have just broken

This is a medical term that is related in some way to having a baby apparently. This means we're likely to have a new niece this afternoon, we'll call in to see her on our way to Canterbury for lunch tomorrow, I think she's in Ashford. This new niece...

quiz is wrong...

Colin I have had M.S at at age of 18 but according to my G.P since I was 14 so I can't work and I find it hard to express my feelings but I do believe in Comming back as someone else in another life I still live with my parents in Cambridge

Quiz action

Didn't go see the band in Hythe last night, did the quiz at The Grand instead. It's an easy one, so though we did quite well, we didn't do well enough. We dropped six questions out of 36, two on our vital joker round, so no meal for four prize for us...

Up to our HIPs (geddit?!?!?)

First off, huge trouble at the quiz at The Ship last night - the wife and I were on different teams, as we had friends with us. It was looking like Clare's team was going to walk the mini quiz with a straight ten out of ten, and we'd got one wrong, s...

Tip top weekend

For a change we didn't go to Canterbury, though we will be again this weekend. Made a proper session of it on Saturday to celebrate Clare's brother Kev's visit from the Miami. Lunch in Escondido, then a crawl around Hythe taking it (at least) The Bel...

I got election

And yay, we did get to vote, at the polling station around the corner from our flat, and it was good. A disappointing range of local candidates, I think I went for the best of a bad bunch.Farewell then, weeping fig - our big pot plant that we bought ...

This quiz is getting less fun

The wife and I were made to sit apart again in the Famous Ship Quiz, no-one else gets this treatment, wonder what's going on? We don't win every week, but ironically Clare has won each time we've been made to play apart..."FUN" quiz, every Tuesday at...

Even I'm getting bored of the man with no face now

No posting for five days, even though I'm sure I've had things to say, just been a bit busy. Interesting things that have happened include;* A suspicious fire near work in Hythe, a new development of flats was arsoned, not found this n the online new...

Kings of quiz

Every week we struggle away at the friendly fun quiz at The Ship Inn in Sandgate, and we hardly ever come away with the top grand prize of a bottle of wine. This week, for a change we tried the Sunday quiz at Saltwood Castle (Saltwood Castle Hotel no...

Good drinking weekend

We checked out the annual Easter Ales Festival at Chambers on Thursday and Friday nights, and have had a couple of nights back at the flat playing pool and listening to my new Rolling Stone Top 500 Songs collection, and had a day in Canterbury (inclu...

Sleep easy families of South London

This gun crime problem among your children is surely close to resolution - BBC Breakfast today had the UK's least famous man Richard Blackwood in to give his point of view. I can only assume they had a real guest lined up who pulled out at the last m...

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...

It is all work work work

Really enjoyed my first week in the new job, it's a great place and a good crowd. And I'm not just writing this in case anyone there remembered the url from my CV and decides to investigate at some point. I even achieved something in my first week, I...

Great weekend visiting family and friends, more on which later, I am pressed for time now I'm back working full time! Started yesterday, am learning all the systems, mostly PHP and XML no problems at all. It's a great place to work, huge and modern b...

No snow here

Had a few pictures emailed and texted in from friends and family about the place of their snowy gardens and the like. Just very cold here, and mostly clear, though I can see some low lying cloud or heavy fog up on the hills.On the top of both fog and...

I was looking for a job, and then I found a job

No posts for a few days, I had something to say but wanted to wait until I got an official confirmation and things. Yes I'm back in the land of the permanently employed, just arranged some final details today and I start at Holiday Extras on Monday! ...

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 ...

It's more and more like Miami Vice round here every day

Hmm, not really, but this morning a body was found on the beach at Folkestone. Grim, wonder if it's linked to this man, missing after being quizzed about this 53 million pound robbery.Had a lovely day in Canterbury today, despite the rain, was nice t...
