Coldplay with Girls Aloud???

Is this a joke? Coldplay are playing Wembley with Girls Aloud! This is a far cry from their days at the Barfly, and doesn't really make much sense to me... Jay-Z is supporting on other dates too. Here's what Club Wembley are offering as a package, fo...

Splendid weekend of comedy, food, double dinners, and everything

Great weekend. As an intro though, specifically for the people from work who mentioned they had found this page recently - at no point did I drink too much and become annoying, I am a fine upstanding member of staff. Probably you can go back to work ...

Over the top door staff

I was removed from marthas because i asked a chap in a kilt if it was true that it was tradional for scots not to wear underwear under their kilts. I think this was harsh and ridiculous, and only came about because he "knew" management, i am a sia li...

The Jackdaw

I used to work at The Jackdaw, the people who run it are nasty and the food is even worse. The cleanliness standard in the kitchen are horrendous and way the food is prepared is stored is no better. If food is sent back due to a fault in the kitchen ...

So was that the summer then?

In the interest of being able to read back on this in years to come and reminisce about what was going on, I should have said something about the weather recently I think. But, I blinked, and it's gone now. Got a barbecue lined up for this Saturday, ...

The Fisherman�s rest is rubbish

The Fisherman�s rest is rubbish and I won�t be using that place again, decided to pop in for a drink last weekend (3rd May) with my wife and friends, only to be told very rudely by the Landlord to leave as it was a private function. The place looked...

Google / Yahoo MERGER!

Well, no actually, not at all but Google are serving ads on some of Yahoo's pages. What about Yahoo serving ads in Google's "slots" (like the ones on this page)? I want more different ads served up here, so more people are likely to click on them and...

The New Inn, Etchinghill

I regularly visit the new inn in etchinghill from my home in folkstone at least once a month with the family and the food is always top quality. The staff are always friendly and helpful and the chef makes the effort to meet the customers. The owner...

hi hopes dashed!!

On 8th March my girlfriend and I decided to visit Cafe Belge in Canterbury with another couple who had highly recommended the restaurant to us. I must say that none of the four of us have ever received a service as rude and discourteous as we receive...

Alice Till

I've just found that a Stafford ancestor of mine, Francis (Brookes) Till, died in 1865 at the Hospital of the 52nd Regiment of Light Infantry in Portsmouth. I see from your site that you have an Alice Till being born in Portsmouth at that time. It's ...

Rugby, RESULT

What a great game and result on Saturday! we started off as usual with a trip to Canterbury, where there was a local food fair on, with stalls and demonstrations and things, and lots of local food producers in attendance. Got some bread and some plan...

There was me worried about embarrassing myself...

We have a couple of vacancies on the programming team at work, all the applicants have been given a PHP test to do, and some of the scores had been a bit weak, so the bosses wondered if the test was too hard, so they gave it to all the existing staff...

Tinto Tapas

Yes this restaurant has good food,but rather music loud.The part of my critisism is the Bar and waitress staff very clinical and feel you are doing them a favour being there, also the Female waitresses are obviously in competion with each ot...

It is all work work work

Really enjoyed my first week in the new job, it's a great place and a good crowd. And I'm not just writing this in case anyone there remembered the url from my CV and decides to investigate at some point. I even achieved something in my first week, I...

Did you know Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson were staying in Sandgate?

Before / during I mean, we all read about it in the Herald after they'd checked out... La Portman wasn't the most favoured guest of The Sandgate Hotel apparently. From The Mirror, don't go there though it's covered in microsoft adverts that make movi...

Good weekend

Rain seemed to play quite a part... Friday, raced out of work not quite in time to go to the Andrew Davies talk, part of the literary festival, but in good time to get some chips, and eat them in the rain on my way to The Grand Hotel where the talk ...

RE: An update from Timothy's Wine Bar

Tim's wine bar has now certainly changed! I dined there last week and I have to say that I could not fault the place. We were taken good care of. We even received a visit from the owner (Tim) who, is a fellow wine fanatic, talked for us for a few mi...

Interesting Folkestone / Waterstones / Ottakars rumour

So, with Waterstones having taken over Ottakars, it would seem likely at some point that one of the stores in town will close. This is not guaranteed (and I think The Competition Commission are having a look at things), but being pragmatic, it looks ...

RE: The Sandgate Hotel,

Me again. I'll add to that. My girlf took her parents down there this weekend and the menu has changed - no lovely bugers anymore. It's all expensive stuff so they just had a coffee - one cup wasn't full, another was cold. And the staff were still cl...

Getting a bizarrely high number of comments at the moment

If it wasn't for the fact they were a bit negative I'd suspect there was some sort of fix going on, all the staff posting or something. Is it all the ex staff who were sacked or what?

RE: The Sandgate Hotel,

yah. I went there few weeks ago, had a burger. Was amazing! HIGHLY recommended. The staff were clueless. They were quite cute though...
