We got snow this morning

Wasn't expecting that at all, looks lovely but not so helpful for our first day back at work of the year. Just seen Clare off to the station, she's shuffling carefully towards her train right now and hoping it's on time. It's apparently not going to ...

So long Astoria

Catching up on what friends have to say, and I find out from Darryl that there is a closing date for the Astoria, LA2, and Metro. The sites of some great gigs, key moments of my time in London probably. A shame. Think my first time there was to see U...

RE: Lambert & Weston

You'll see yours was the only reply to that original post, from over a year ago though. If googling them brings back nothing but this site I think you've made every effort to track them down, so you should use the photos! I am not a lawyer though, mi...

Not sure there is a connection, but you never know

By family tree database is down right now, so I don't have all the dates to hand, but the Gertrude Rainey mentioned was my Grandmother who would have been born around 1920. She was from Salford, Manchester, but I believe her family were from Ireland....

Red List / Zoo9 / Sellindge Music Festival

An anti-press release from Sellindge Music Festival! Probably best to get some bands on board and send out some info about who is playing your festival, rather than just going on about someone else's festival. Good to point this out though, Zoo8 was ...

What bands would you like to see play Folkestone?

Interesting and mysterious, someone has a reason for asking in this thread what bands would you like to come to Folkestone..? Anyone care to chip in? Being at least vaguely realistic, I nominate The Magic Numbers, Super Furry Animals, David Devant an...

RE: Thanks for chipping in on the site anyway

Sorry to jump in but I'm seeing some valuable input here. You're all clearly live music fans so could I ask you all who would be your top 5 live bands to see. It would be most helpful if they are current and still performing and preferably the kind o...

Ooh took a whacking from russian spammers there

Think my disk space allowance filled up which stopped some things working which allowed a load of spam through, which killed all my websites... Turned anonymous comments of for a bit while it settles down.

wahey, thanks for letting me know it is now the Marlowe!

I didn't know which venue the Odeon was. One of those nights you'll never forget? You forgot the date! Have you seen the photos that were taken that night? They're linked to from this site somewhere, some ace live shots...UPDATE: Here's that picture,...

RE: Linksys WVC54G wireless camera, btinternet SMTP and gmail

I have a similar problem and I got tired of fighting with it. Most of these cameras also will send a screen shot to an ftp server so I wrote a vbscript that polls the server and then sends an email using my workplace smtp server. Obviously, you need ...

Who is Russell Brand?

Lordy, could Russell Brand have done anything better to raise his profile than that phone call to Andrew Sachs? Mostly it's probably the Hate Mail on Sunday that's to blame. When the original Russell Brand show went out, no-one was listening. It's on...
