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...

Nice pub, nice location

Bit pricey though I think. Maybe I don't put my hand in my pocket often enough, but three quid for a pint of bitter and one pound eighty for a diet coke seems a bit excessive to me.Lovely to sit out in there garden though, it's the only place within ...

A lovely offer from The Hermitage

A contributor to the forum posted about a disappointing anniversary meal they'd had at a local restaurant in January. And The Hermitage have chipped in, this story obviously tugged their heart strings like it did mine, but they've actually put their ...

'PAQ to life

Yesterday's IPAQ battery investigations seem to have paid off, the little computer has come back to life again. I tried every special key combo known to man, and changing the power adapter, but I'm I'm pretty sure it was the threat of selling it off ...

RE: Scrap the licence fee

Tosh.So a company they use to make programs spiced up a show, it's hardly earth shattering. And so they messed up a couple of competitions - the technology for those things is quite flakey and no-one was hugely out of pocket like they were on Richard...

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...

My sides!

Ho ho, just read this spoof story about Dickens World.A new �62 million theme park is being built in Chatham Maritime in Kent on a Dickensian theme in the hope of attracting foreign visitors in the same way that Fawlty Towers drew tourists into the T...

Boom shake the room!

Well I suspect you've all been frantically refreshing wondering when I'd report from this morning's earthquake! Amazingly it was three and a half hours ago now, the power was off until just recently so there wasn't a lot I could do, no internets, and...

yes IPAQ, sorry

I lied about VirtualDub also sorry, can't remember what I used that for, maybe the PSP. Normally I use PocketDivXEncoder. You need to have the DivX codec to be able to play back. I think. Bit confusing.

Return of the IPAQ

Since bringing my IPAQ back to life, I've been trying to load it up with content, looking for podcast type software to populate it with free contentdel.icio.us avi feed, I wonder has someone already hacked together a youtube feed with attachments? Lo...

Roger De Haan's plans for the town

I lived in Folkestone for the first 21 years of my life and then left to study up north 11 years ago and never moved back. All of my family still live in the town so I visit regularly a few times every year. It may be my 'rose tinted specs' view of...

There must be a site somewhere, with a dedicated pocket pc community

Something like www.ipodlounge.com but for IPAQ.

RE: That is strange, it ought to be the same results

well there's a pocket version of quicken, but the prob with this is that the manufacturers of quicken have stopped doing stuff for the UK - if i buy a US copy will i be stuck with DOLLARS?? alternatively, there are a number of pocketpc progs which wi...

London Crawling

Great weekend in London, a bit of a change of scene for us. Came up Saturday afternoon, and did a bit of shopping, a nice new pair of trousers and a shirt, to wear to the evening's party. This was at The Corner Store for Stu and Alice's wedding, and ...

Weekend review

I did a massive amount of driving at the weekend, borrowed a car and went to Bluewater. We hit some insane rain on the M20 and had to pull over until we could see again. It feels like the sort of place I ought to go "oh no, we had to go to Bluewater"...

Pacey (Joshua Jackson) from Dawson's creek

I spotted him walking up the Fulham Road towards me from a distance. He was wearing a wooly hat and had his hands in his pockets, but because he was quite a long way away from me and walking straight towards me on the pavement, I had a really long ti...
