Suede Albert Hall gig sold out in 20 minutes apparently

Hearing that maybe Bernard Butler WILL now be at the Suede gig, hopefully joining the "new" lineup to do a song! Things seem all amicable across all the ex-Suedes so he's likely to be present at the gig, can only hope he joins them on stage, as I don...

Is there an Apache gunship circling over Cheriton right now?

That's what I'm hearing.

Yep have had other comments to back that up

Someone reports it being closed when they lived here in 1985, but was visited by someone else in the 1970s in this thread about the Mayfield Suite... I like to think there are still prawn cocktails and blackforest gateaux half eaten on plates on the ...

Meant to be giving blood today, they don't want it because I am sick. Vampires don't want my cold I suppose.Still scattered snow around the place, about an inch thick on the "overflow" work car park which has not been used since christmas.How you doi...

Post christmas / pre work blues

Well not really. I think that's how I should be feeling as this is the last day of my week off, back in to work tomorrow. But actually it's a nice sunny day (looked very frosty this morning) and we're off to Canterbury for lunch and it's weekendtasti...

Not what I meant by "getting stoned down the beach"

Some bastard has stoned a dog to death, gruesome. Are there not security cameras down there?

RATM at #1 and #3 in the mp3 download charts right now

If everyone had got a bit organised they'd definitely beat the x-factor, but I wonder if that split will count against them. This is the current Amazon mp3 chart anyway: 1. Killing In The Name [explicit version] by Rage Against The Machine 2. The C...

F**K you I won't buy that Laura Ashley coffee table that you tell me!

Never mind raging against the x-factor machine why not stick one to the man buy buying this Laura Ashley Milton coffee table. Collect from Oxford, I really like it, starting at 99p that's great. It's the new Habitat Radius! We have a table in this r...

High Speed rail link is live today

So look out, all the timetables from Folkestone have changed... Does this mean there will now be a surge of interest in buying my flat, from moneyed London types? More likely just that the kind of houses we want to buy in the area will be priced out ...

Stop with the "Rage Against The Machine" christmas facebook campaign

Rage Against The Machine are on Sony, I'd be surprised if Simon Cowell hasn't bought the publishing Killing In The Name (or whatever the music industry term is for "making it so he earns money when it does well") as well as all the X-Factor acts. May...

John Lewis have discontinued the Bergerac range of furniture

John Lewis Bergerac has been replaced by John Lewis Ardennes it seems (according to the seller of these Bergerac oak chairs anyway. This has replaced our bookcases, and it's not the same detailing, so slim chance of us getting any more matching now. ...

Two trips to The Crown in one weekend

Just reviewing the rest of my weekend while I'm waiting for this video to finish. Went to The Crown on Friday night and thought it was a FINE venue for the Saturday night meeting up with a couple of friends. And it is! People look down their nose at ...

It's almost time to dig out the lights, baubles and tinsel. Christmas is just around the corner, and it's an exciting year to celebrate the season in East Kent with the official launch of Melocard, the discount card for kent, at the Folkestone Christ...

Editors play Folkestone on the 23rd March, tickets might be available from the box office, can't find them online right now. That'll be a good one!Clashmusic says "out of the way places like Folkestone", they also have the rest of the tour dates...Ed...

John Lewis Bergerac bookcase on ebay

These are gorgeous, we have two, I would love more but they're too expensive! This one will be a bargain for someone, not us though as collecting from Yorkshire is no good :-(...

Tickets for Folkestone Hevy festival on Ebay

Two tickets, 62 quid... is this someone trying to make a profit? What price will they end up at?...

Another brace of Habitat Radius chairs

�150 quid, collect from Reading. Not buying any more furniture any time soon in case we sell the flat. Had it valued yesterday, would be very nice to think it would actually sell for the prices the estate agents quoted. Going to get one more valuatio...

RE: Thanks for that brilliantly detailed reminiscence

Hi Pauly.... Sorry but my brain's a little befuddled about exact dates. However, I can tell you that it would have bee arounf the period 1970-1971-ish to around 1976-77ish? During this period I was also in a local (Dover) band myself: "Father Luke"...

Michael Jackson black or white doll

A friend is selling one on ebay, guess it's one of these... I thought he said he was going to get about �400 quid for it though, doh! Who'd have thought EVERYONE was selling theirs at the same time..? Looks like these michael jackson dolls are not go...

Cool baby grows

If only babies didn't grow so fast, and need changing every ten minutes, these Slayer and AC/DC baby grows would be cool! Or there are loads of cool (but too expensive, including postage) at www.punkbabyclothes.net. Maybe not this one particularly:I ...

Folkestone - the place of dreams

Only 1100 views of this video so far, and it was the lead story in the local paper last week! Quite a good job done on this I think, good work whoever you are. It's generated some debate....

Could these baby gadgets cancel each other out?

Now we have Slumber Bear I wonder if he will cause some sort of conflict with the Babysense monitor? We have both, and they are both great, but I wonder... Babysense monitor gives a warning and then an alarm goes off if baby gets out of bed / cot / p...

Michael Howard's expenses

So should we be angry about this sort of behaviour, or pleased that Mr Howard is spending money in the area (in Hythe rather than Folkestone, but still)? Have we been cheated more than we've benefitted? I can't work it out? Remember to vote tomorrow ...

Nice day in Folkestone

Went for a walk down to the beach and up through the town. Everything's looking GREAT down by the beachy bits, loads of people about, even live entertainment outside the pubs down in the harbour. Here's Clare by the beach:See a similar view from 1920...

Emergency trip to hospital!

No, not us, of course, still no sign of the baby yet, but poor bro-in-law. Accident at work and has lost the tip of his finger, blee! Sister is threatening to show me video footage of the finger, after it was squished like a tomato but before the hos...
