I have travelled far...

... and now have decided to moor my Viking ship here.

ABC1

Well this new channel looks good doesn't it... all dated American comedy shows and soaps, that's just the sort of new channel we needed! It's an opportunity to see Moonlighting again from the start I suppose.243 was held up today by another motorbike...

Weekend of travels

A great weekend in Folkestone though we seem to have been travelling around Kent for most of it. Raced down to go to Chambers Friday night, had a couple of pints in there and then shockingly left before closing, a bit tired... Saturday overslept unti...

Traveller to stand against Howard

A Gypsy pensioner from Essex is to stand against Conservative leader Michael Howard in Folkestone. I'm sure she'll do really well. From the BBC.

The first rule about job club

Google blogger sacked, don't talk about work kids...Great weekend with a visit to Folkestone by Mum and Dad, took a trip to Lympne Castle, picked out some paint for the front room, and I DROVE A CAR, for the first time in about 8 years... piece of ca...

Folkestone train times

Folkestone trains are a bit messed up for the whole summer (2005), possibly the next six months. To travel at about the same time, and not have to change trains at Ashford or anything we have to get trains to / from Cannon Street instead of Charing C...

Rugby weekend

JOYOUS journey to Twickenham on Saturday morning, looks like being on the 09.30 from Folkestone, change at Ashford, on the 09.54 to Waterloo and then on the 11.28 to Twickenham, arriving 11.51... Hmm, boring yeah, this is for my calendar though.UPDAT...

Traffic and Rail map

When I saw the traffic feeds from the BBC (via backstage.bbc.co.uk), this is the application I thought of building. But someone's beaten me to it and done it very nicely indeed......

What a day of travels

Not only did we have to get up too early today to renew our travel cards, but we were held up on the way home by this fire at Paddock Wood... Still not quite rested from the weekend either, not feeling completely with it today. Had a couple of approa...

I'm a morning person!!!!

Who was that clown on the train this morning - was it you? He was muttering to himself when there was no-one to talk to, and as soon as anyone sat near him hi gibbered and chattered and got them talking too... this disturbed my sleep. If you're on th...

Off to Twickenham today

It's going to take a while to get there (gotta get a bus to Ashford), but not this long I don't think - half hour to walk from Waterloo East to Waterloo?Sure to be that sort of pace on the way home though... Look out for us on the TV!...

Win Roskilde Tickets

Sputnik "festival!" @ The Monarch (49 Chalk Farm Road, NW1) Friday 10th may 2002 (and fortnightly)Glasto�s sold out and it�d be naughty to jump the fence, so how about a festival the same weekend, with over 100 bands & djs, until 5am every day, inclu...

Strange time travel

As previously possibly mentioned, I am listening to old Mark Radcliffe radio shows, on the mp3. Just listened to the last ever graveyard shift show on Radio One, and then (in exactly the wrong order) the first ever graveyard shift show from 1993. And...

RE: Professor Predicts Human Time Travel This Century

Of course the time machine already has been invented, which is why we know it will be possible. In 3 years time it will be 2003, by which time I will have already invented the time conehttp://ftoing.blogspot.com/2005/07/message-from-2003.htmlHope th...

Weird traininess thing going on

Got on the train at stupid o'clock as usual this morning to hear an announcement apologising for the late running of the service. Assumed the announcement was the mistake, but NO! Our train had been replaced by a late running earlier number that was ...

Folkestone on popbitch

Not real popbitch (ie the popbitch newsletter), just something someone just posted on the board. I repeat it here for your delectation and delight:Meanwhile, on the last train out of Charing Cross on Saturday night...Your actual Cheryl Baker out of B...

Bonus travel update

Sevenoaks turned into some sort of no go area yesterday, no trains allowed to pass through it at all, this caused carnage on the network from teh afternoon onward. Some people were held up for hours, I was only half an hour late home, but still not t...

Heavy snow both ends

Just back from the parents, we had heavy snow there at 8am this morning that settled, probably 3 or 4 inches deep in an hour, very nice to see but a bit terrifying, we thought it was there for the duration and we'd not be able to get back to Folkesto...

Ooh lightning strike!

No trains from Folkestone for the forseeable, because of a lighting strike over night, we do get all the action here don't we. They can't put on any replacement busses until after the school run as they're all in use. I'm getting a lift in today so I...

A new version of popex?

I thought someone had launched a new version of popex when I heard about this new product:No I didn't. However, I did wonder if something was being stirred up when I saw search results for popex travels over there in the sidebar -->Guessing it's peop...

Congrats to Kevin and Guiselle

We have a wedding to go to this year... in North Carolina, yoinks! What about my carbon footprint? I've had a really good year, no flying, my only foreign travel was to Scotchland and Brussels on the train (OK, and the car).UPDATE: Sounds like the we...

Ooh, we got snow already

Should be quite a slippy slide home tonight. I'm GLAD, Clare is off work sick today, this is sure to affect the trains... If I go out and make a snowman tonight, I'll be sure and post up a picture.

West is best right now too

The wife ideally wants to go to Victoria, but just about anywhere in London is good, and that's good from West. Also the proposed (and I think actually due within the next two years) high speed rail link will be using Canterbury West so that'll shave...

Possibly the best Lost episode so far

Tune in on Sunday if you've not already seen it. New characters again, which I find a bit annoying, but a great episode, it went some way to hinting at possible answers for thing. Big old chunks of Bill and Ted and Back to the Future techniques too, ...

Folkestone Central and Folkestone West to get high speed trains (but not Sandling)

This info from this week's KM Extra free sheet, but has been made public by Southeastern Trains. I did wonder just how fast the high speed service could be if it stopped at all the little stations along the way.No mention of the services from Central...
