Yesterday's house hunt

A trip to Canterbury yesterday, an early start, four houses to see. First one was a bit further out than we first thought, up Whitstable Road, though not an insurmountable distance to Canterbury West. The house is at the end of a cul-de-sac, so you h...

Site's been away for a few hours

Maybe it's still away now, maybe you can't read this, maybe no-one reads this anyway, whatever, the site has been away for a few hours because the hosting company have moved me onto another machine because I was getting too many hits and that.Funny o...

I'm the walking dude (and so's my wife)

Splendid weekend, thanks for asking, starting off with what's becoming a regular routine; a quiet night in Friday night then a trip to Canterbury Saturday daytime. Had a lovely Wagamama, only slightly marred by me biting through my lip again. In the ...

Lost / Red Dwarf crossover

Ha, in series one, episode five of Lost apparently Charlie says that he can't swim. This is not a continuity error, this is PROOF that they are not really on an island, they're really in a virtual reality game on board Red Dwarf.A fairly poor episode...

Lovely day

The promised snow is here, falling quite heavily here in Folkestone, but turning to cold slushy rain just before it hits the ground.

Mail bomber hits Folkestone

Everyone's picked up on this mail bomber story, not sure why a house in Folkestone has been linked in to this though... The Sun says:On February 3, another device was sent to the home of security boss Michael Wingfield, 53, in Folkestone, Kent.Mr Win...

Richard Curtis lived in Folkestone

This doesn't have the same rhythmic potential as Peter Cushing lives in Whitstable, but it's interesting anyway. Why hasn't he made a film about our town?...

RE: Sandgate Hotel is on Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares tonight

I heard a rumour that Ramsay was actually going to BUY the Sandgate Hotel (or at least the restaurant)... could be Folkestone's "Whitstable Oyster" factor if it went ahead...

I thought Doctor Who was great this week, a trip back in time to 1869 and Charles Dickens, as played by Simon Callow. We went to his one man show a few years back all about Dickens, funny to see that crossing over with the Doctor.www.scifi.com says B...
