Do not recycle from last night's Dio show

Foo Fighters tour rider, quite amusing. I didn't even know there were nine vegans.

Vegan lasagne

Who'd have thought you could make vegan lasagne? Went for a dinner party last night, very sophisticated, round at Dom and Jen's. Dom and Dean made lasagne for the main course for everybody, with a vegan friendly roast vegetable lasagne for me, and it...

Check out Canterbury Whole Foods while you still can

The cafe above Canterbury Whole Foods is going to be under new management in a couple of weeks, so if you want to try the existing vegetarian + vegan cafe as it is now, you'd better hurry.We visited on Saturday for the first time in an age; on our la...

Our actual first day in Key West

I realise that my previous post about our first day in Key West a) didn't contain any info, b) had things from our second day on the map, and c) has slipped down the page and no-one will read it. So here at last is the first part of our journey. Clar...

good point re the jumping graphics, been meaning to fix that for a while

I am a vegan and am tempted to go there if they can rustle something up for me, but mostly I do just like to keep quiet and order something safe from the menu, sounds like that's not an option here...

A proper slating for cafe belge!

These people sound like they had a bad time too. It doesn't sound the sort of place to go to as a vegan / vegetarian anyway.

Ah, I see, the same review being spammed around everywhere!

If a picture paints a thousand words...

Does this video clip of us in Belgium this weekend make anything I have to say on the subject completely redundant?See, Mum, Dad, Clare and me on a humungous big wheel, part of the Plaisers d'Hiver festival type affair that was going in Brussels this...

Hell yeah, encouragement, that's what I need!

Well it was a lunch more than an actual party, and there's really not a huge amount to report, and you're not interested anyway, but HELLO TO ME IN THE FUTURE, how's it going five years from now? Do you remember that day, about five years ago, when y...

I don't even know why I said it, a bit of Friday afternoon frivolity is all

Some of my best family are vegetarians, and I've been vegan for about fifteen years now, that's why I posted that original thing. You're right though, most people are scum.Got plans for the weekend? I'm out in Trashford tonight with people from work,...

RE: 10 myths about vegans

Bah, more self-righteous chat from the Vegans."Oh, look at us, we are all kind to the animals as well as healthy and fashionable really � and some famous and fashionable people are Vegans too you know. We are so misunderstood". As far as I'm concerne...

10 myths about vegans

www.bboheme.com (who I once bought some shoes from) emailed me today to tell me it's world vegan day and to share with me an advert for their shoes and things, cunningly wrapped in a "10 Myths about Vegans" list. They know bloggers love lists like fr...

A Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall advert

I'm all for chicken out, chicken right out, right out of your diet. Just passing this on as my bro-in-law is quite into the idea, and Clare does only buy organic free range chicken when she eats it at home now. I'm not convinced that a "free range" c...

The wedding (being the first part of my two week holiday write up)

We started our little trip with a wedding, the least possible wedding that was still attached to home by land that I have ever been to. This was somewhere one side of the Scottish border, and the reception was just the other side, which was quite a n...

Long weekend

Been away a long time (apart from my little post this morning about wireless things) and we fitted quite a lot in really, felt like a proper holiday since my complaints about QI.Our afternoon out in Canterbury was good, though not absolutely everythi...

More food porn available on flickr now

Though I doubt you'll be too impressed, being vegan and that.Lyon was great, had to miss a day cos the flight got cancelled, which was annoying, but I did get the card of a lovely lady from Ernst & Young. Now to bring up the courage to email her......

Mars chocolate no longer suitable for vegetarians

As a vegan it doesn't make much difference to me, but I'm reposting this here without checking the facts anyway:The Vegetarian Society is extremely disappointed to learn that Mars favourites such as Mars, Milky Way, Bounty, Snickers, Galaxy, Twix and...

Happy Friday 13th

I just drew horse #13 in the office Grand National sweepstake... I predict 13 horses will fall and die in tomorrow's race.(Actually number 13 is Point Barrow, one of the favourites, that's not bad. Not that we vegans participate in such things)...

Blood on the tracks

Watched "The Roadkill Chef" last night, billed by BBC Three as "Eccentric roadkill connoisseur Fergus Drennan tries to change the eating habits of the people in the town of Sandwich in Kent by throwing the community a roadkill feast". Sandwich is rea...

Christmas telly

Time for some christmas roundup type things, I really did have a great time during our extended break, so much so that I didn't post all the tedious minutiae (can you tell from my embiggened vocabulary I've been playing a lot of Scrabble?), so I'll t...

Transport updates

Journey times have been much better since Monday. If I race out of the door here at six, I get a train at Cannon Street that gets me home without changing for eight fifteen. Bit boring travelling on my own, but I'm plodding on with these book, and re...

The announcement no-one was waiting for

Popex is closing. Obviously I have known for a while, I have been made redundant, but couldn't talk about it. So now I'm looking for work! It's time to reorganise all my sites to put a big job advert at the top. If you have any ideas, please get in t...

First trip to Truffles

From my recent blog posting: Friday night we had our proper birthday night out, taken out for a meal by Clare's bro and fiance to Truffles. I was a bit apprehensive, as we'd checked out the menu when it first opened (it used to be Panchos and La Bamb...

Welcome to Miami!

Or, rather, from Miami, or even (by the time I write this up) hello from England, Miami sends its regards. Just BACK from a trip to the US of States to visit Clare's bro and sister-in-law in the pan-handle bit of the Americas. Tiring flight over to M...

As one store closes...

So, we're getting a Starbucks in Folkestone within the next two weeks, according to a small news piece in the Herald. You may think these chain coffee stores are the enemy, but they're surely a sign of regeneration, which is a good thing. AND, they d...

All about vegans

Giving this article from the Independent a plug here because a) I'm a vegan and b) there's a mention of Folkestone in it!One of the biggest producers of vegan fare, Plamil Foods, has seen revenues rise by between 10 and 15 per cent a year. Its 30 pro...

Habitat Radius Oak Dining Table

More Habitat Radius Oak Furniture, this dining table. Far too big for us, and optimistically priced I'd say at �490. Got some new bargain offers from Amazon too, PSP Giga Pack with 4 games at �310, it'd be great if you could pick your own games, but ...

RE: Blubberdog

Notice you don't get outsize sandwiches that come in Vegan flavours [itchypaws]
