According to the Folkestone Herald:It's under new ownership because Roger DeHaan sold the freehold, hmm why would he do that? I wonder if it's because Jimmy Godden has been buying up properties on the same street.The same owner owns the Gate Inn in H...

Sandbanks Restaurant, The Pavilion, Wear Bay Road - Sat 23rd Aug

I haven't written one of these reviews for a while and, to be honest, I wondered whether I ever would again. There are only so many times you can be bothered to write something about crap food served by people who don't give a damn about good food o...

Kent Festival weekend

Why would they organise Booshstock and zoo+thousand for the same weekend? They're both fairly close (Hythe and Tonbridge) and obviously aimed at the same indie kids, this is like putting Glastonbury and Reading on the same weekend.We're not going to ...

Lost!

Not Lost the TV show, I haven't actually thought about that since watching the fairly rubbish end of series four and writing that subject line. No, actually lost, some people I met yesterday who did not know where they were.My walk from work to the s...

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...

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...

RE: Folkestone recycling

Well, it was 1994 when I was last living in the great village of Folkestone, but at the time I was trying my very best with the Folkestone & Hythe council to seriously consider a plant whereby unhappy males could take their drunken partners and, erm....

Been quiet for a few days

No I've not been out on the larry-large every day over christmas, been a bit under the weather actually, though that's not what's kept me off the computer. When I'm not at work and Clare's home too I never get to sit in front of the computer, she's p...

Giant Dave Grohl

Has anyone been over to the Art Exhibition at Hythe Road, just off the A20 near to Secret Garden Restaurant? There have been a lot of requests for big icon paintings and there is a v.cool BIG canvas of Dave Grohl in red and brown plus a BIG Dirty Har...

RE: Art exhibition on Hythe Road

Hmmm. I'd say that Folkestone's art scene needs to become significantly more derivative / downright crap if it's going to garner any serious plaudits.

Hythe Murder Mystery Dinner

Fullsome weekender

Well I say full, full of pubs really. Friday night we stayed in, so as to have more energy for going out on Saturday. We had a trip to Canterbury in the day (and you'll never guess where we had lunch), no actual christmas shopping, but we went in a c...

Where did that go then? I'm sure I was only at work an hour or so ago and now it's time to go back again... Tired today, had quite an action packed weekend that just went too fast. Started off with work drinks in Trashford, a couple in the Phoenix (S...
