This is about how good I am on the guitar now

I can't decide if this is brilliant, or if he's doing all the complex stuff with his vocals. Entertaining anyway, if a bit long. Enough about the song, this performance is good too:(Hmm not sure I can embed, here it is).I first saw him doing Teardrop...

Keep them safe

I am just waiting to grow a bit round the waist and for my legs to shrink with old age and then I'll steal them off you!Vintage Levis are worth good money, if only you'd not worn them for decorating! Can't find any on ebay to prove a point but I'm su...

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...

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...

Ooh, Flickr video

I didn't know about this. 90 second limit for your videos though, usually that's enough for funny little bits I've shot myself that I might want to share, like the nieces on their new bikes or Pauline's kitten, I will give this a try later.Update: An...

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...

Like it!

Delia Smith makes a kebab:Part of a series of faked up vids, from Don't Watch That, Watch This. Not seen them before, though I do remember this sweary DIY video from somewhere....

Happy April Fool's

Just seen a brilliant feature on BBC Breakfast on a newly discovered type of penguin, that can fly. Can't find it on their website, but they had video on the TV and they've apparenly roped in David Attenborough, I hope they put the footage online lat...

Fight at David Gray!

The gig on Friday was halted apparently because of fighting in the crowd! When the scrappers were eventually removed from the hall they were shouting threats back at Mr Gray. Were you there? Did you see anything? Call Folkestone Gerald in confidence ...

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 ...

Great Pot Noodle Ad

Just seen it on www.popbitch.com. Go there and click the ads, they need it right now......

Could be dreadful

A review of the US remake of Spaced. Well, a review of the script. It's being remade without the cooperation of the original creative team of Simon Pegg, Jessica Stevenson and Edgar Wright, seemingly it went ahead without their knowledge. Simon Pegg ...

Remembering XFM

Was surprised earlier to realise that the original XFM only lasted for about a year, before being shut down and messed up by Capital. Yes we've been listening to more Ricky Gervais, still haven't found any really early shows. I'll post up a list of w...

Guitar Hero on the Commodore 64

Via www.engadget.com.There's a PC / Mac game you can download for free, where you hold your keyboard like a guitar, Frets On Fire......

Stencilling

I like this, a stencil from Onion Bag Blogger, after Banksy. That's a potatoshop effect rather than a realistic stencil you could print and cut out out I think (see the fuzzy edges), but nice.How to stencil, stenciling 1000 video, Use GIMP to make st...

Weather report part two

Ferocious rain woke us both up in the night, a proper downpour again. Clare got the fear that the weather might have resulted in our pilot light going out (it happened before), which would mean waking up to cold showers, so I got up to check on it. W...

Alan Moore

Not the barber shop in Portchester, but the comic bloke, Hibbett wrote a song about the time he saw him in a comic shop. Just posting this here to remind me to check it out later really, as I just saw it posted elsewhere.Mark wrote this for FAWM, and...

Is this an ad for Cloverfield?

Not seen all of this yet, nor watched any with the sound up yet, but it was in this week's www.popbitch.com, is it one of those viral ads for Cloverfield?...

The unknown child of the Titanic

A video:...

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...

Is this new and exciting? ROBOT GUITAR

I think it's cool: Have they made a guitar where the frets move in and out yet so someone like me could play?...

Magic Numbers every bit as good as I predicted

OK my prediction of Morrissey joining them on stage was a complete fabrication, but we did get Bernard Butler appearing with them to perform "Love's a Game", which then medleyed on into "People Get Ready". They did another wacky ending of another of ...

York (being the fourth part of my holiday)

York is great, a lot like Canterbury, but seemingly with more pubs. Our hotel was the birth place of Guy Fawkes, and had sloping floors and four poster beds, proper historic. It practically butts up to the cathedral, not sure you can tell from my pho...

Most comments on a youtube video EVER!

Well, the most for me anyway, from people that I don't know, who've just tracked my video down so as to have something to complain about. There's a whole lot of campanology fans out there...This reminds me, I never did write up York (being the fourth...

Kent TV vs Your Kent TV

Now some confusion has been cleared up for me, there are two of these www.youtube.com copyist sites around at the moment, both just launched at the same time, www.kenttv.com launched by the council and run in some way by Bob Geldof, and also www.your...

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...

1980s soft rock

Amy Winehouse (aged 14) in The Fast Show

Nice one www.popbitch.com.Just found this post from 2004 regarding Amy Winehouse (and I'm sure there's more in the archive), where I was whooping with glee because she bigged up my website in an interview with the BBC. It's not archived on the webwis...
