The Cure / NME Awards Big Gig tickets

Not Folkestone, not even that local, but a fairly easy journey from Folkestone to the O2 Arena, one we're making, I'd hate for you to miss out too. It's The Cure, and they're headlining the NME poll winners party type thing. Officially sold out, but ...

Gate 28 reopens at last Friday 26th

Grand reopening of Gate 28 this Friday, at last the rumours have come sort of true. Walked past today, the pumps are back, it's going to be the same kind of bar it was before by the looks of it. Possibly see you there for last orders......

Gate 28 - gutted!

Walked past Gate 28 tonight, and it's under serious redecoration. The bar is still there, but no sign of the pumps or anything. Looks like the rumours of it reopening not as a bar could be true....

First review of Zoo Thousand and Eight in

Here at www.safeconcerts.com, sounds a bit chaotic, more rumours of cancellations than actual cancellations possibly though.More here, seems Lethal Bizzle was promoted to replace Dizzee Rascal, not a bad call I wouldn't have said, though one was a Me...

Oh yes, I have just the money to buy a fancy hotel on the riviera!

It changed hands not long after his last TV show, rumours were then that he'd bought it. It was not me that bought it that time either.

"Only" three more series of Lost after this one

I'm still really into it, but don't entirely believe anything the producers of Lost say so will see how this report from Yahoo pans out. Apparently there will only be three more short series of sixteen episodes each of Lost after this one.Really enjo...

It's the end of the world.

No, not that end of the world, something a bit more lighthearted. Possibly. In an age where any security camera footage of a crime seems to be inconclusive, or not good enough quality to be of any use, or just not pointing the right way at the right ...

Let the coffee wars begin!

Councillor Dan Hassett says Starbucks are definitely coming to Folkestone now:There has been much speculation about Starbucks opening in Folkestone. I can finally confirm that they will be opening in the new Bouverie Place shopping centre. They have ...

Christmas telly

Time for some christmas roundup type things, I really did have a great time during our extended break, so much so that I didn't post all the tedious minutiae (can you tell from my embiggened vocabulary I've been playing a lot of Scrabble?), so I'll t...

RE: That's top of my list too

it was financed mainly by Sequoia, the venture capital firm. Previous investments for them included Apple, Paypal, Cisco and ironically Google itself. They put $11m in, which gave them around 30% of the equity. Plus those rumours of spending $1m a da...

Really bad and sad news about Paul Hunter, he was only 27 and had just become a dad, should have known things were very serious when his ranking was frozen earlier this year, that's an unusual move, though we really thought and hoped he'd recover.Als...

Graveyard - Bradstone Road?

I've heard rumours that behind the big walled area in Bradstone Road, next to the tyre place, is an ancient graveyard.
Can anyone confirm this? Better still, any pictures?
Thanks.

Work continues apace at the shop

but the posters advertising for people to work at Costa (the only clue that it will be a Costa Coffee have VANISHED? Is this to be like the Starbucks saga - first mention of rumours of the store online and everyone backs away..? I hope not....

Heard any rumours about Jimi Hendrix playing anywhere else in the area?

The wife says there was a rumour that he'd done a gig at The Black Horse in Densole...

Cheers for chipping in

Yes we went to the Clarendon again this weekend, just briefly though. There were rumours of it shutting down, the brewery squeezing the landlord and the landlord unable to make enough money on it.Also heard this week that the Sandgate Hotel is to clo...

House

Not my house this time, or house prices, or anything like that... it's a quiet day and I was struggling for something to say so I thought I'd give House a mention. It's a TV medical drama that seems to be taking the Americas by storm starring our old...

New IPOD tomorrow?

Engadget says maybe... I like the idea of Bluetooth, though surely it's too slow to really stream quality audio, or even to transfer MP3s...Lots more IPOD rumours here......

Pop goes the gmail

Apparently POP3 access to gmail is available now, anyone know how? I just heard about it on the (otherwise very dry) Gilmor Gang podcast, but it's not documented anywhere.Rumours are that they're not going to charge for it, so how's it going to work ...

KISS

Nothing confirmed yet, just rumours they will play here next summer, and I'm sure it will be EXPENSIVE! Stay tuned to www.kissonline.com for info, I am...

New IPOD

What did I say about constant IPOD rumours? Just after I wrote that, Engadget reported that NewsWeek will feature announcements for a new IPOD today, read all about it... To summarise the rumours, slightly smaller, better battery, cheaper, no increas...

Doh!

We just wasted ten of your earth pounds for a set of PC speakers so we can listen to the IPOD in the new flat, when for only $200 I could have got one of these... It looks ace, and the sound quality must be better, and I think I need it, but at a ten...

ah i understand

i can see why they do it...although it's impossible to search for something if u dont have the exact URL

in other news, friend in america...should he buy me a mini ipod or should i believe the rumours and not get one?

Goldie Lookin' Chain

Looking forward to the GLC gig tonight at the Mean Fiddler, anyone else here going? And what's this crazy rumour about them collaborating with The Darkness on Aerosmith's Walk This Way? I overheard someone talking about this, has it been published so...

Glastonbury tickets on Ebay

Over two million pounds so far, hmm, possibly this is not serious... If you're still after tickets, good luck, the site's not down, but it's incredibly slow. Some people have reported better luck calling the international number than calling the offi...

V Festival press release

Quite a saucy lineup so far: The Pixies, The Strokes, Kings of Leon, Snow Patrol, Keane, Massive Attack, Primal Scream, NERD, Athlete, Pink, Dido, Muse, Jamie Cullum... hmm, sort of trails off a bit there..."The ninth annual V Festival, sponsored by ...

Cure review

The gig was amazingly not the most crowded any of us had seen at the Barfly, and if the rumours were right that the Libertines were doing yet another show at the club afterwards, I'd expect it to be busier for them. This is obviously not down to the ...

The Cure review

Unbelievably, we got into The Cure last night at Barfly Camden, and here is my review... This was the Music Passport charity show, a privileged audience of about 200 competition winners and successful ebay bidders, and then a handful of people like u...

Rated 4.71/10 on Folkestone Gerald

BOO!

Didn't win any of the staff draws for tickets for the music passport shows... can only hold out hope against hope that Clare wins tickets for The Cure, otherwise it's going to be a bit of a miserable week, it seems everyone from here will be at least...

Vic Reeves

Vic Reeves was doing his own call and response thing, flirting with the lighting and the crowd, from the balcony of the Leas Cliff Hall at the Darkness gig, Sunday night. Very odd... hopefully rumours are true that he still lives in the town, or has ...

Happy New Year

Damn forgot to listen to radio 6...Despite rumours of the new house being built on BRW being marketed for three quarters of a milliion, it's good to see I'm still being sent properties like this 2 bed cottage by the harbour for less than 100k... Hope...
