Stank, including stank in my blog, any mentions of stank in my family tree and stank in Folkestone.
Blog / forum etc:
Apr21
Spent most of yesterday doing doctory things, had to head down to the surgery and register, see a nurse, fill forms, fill something else, etc. Then much hanging around until I could get to see a doctor. Too much of this was in the waiting room. Parts of Folkestone are bad enough in the day anyway, all the people who are too sick / mental / criminal / lazy to work just hanging about, like in any town (isn't it?). Pop a doctor's surgery into the mix and I can't think of a worse place to be really. Lowlights were an odd woman who had a headache and so didn't go to work and had to tell everyone about it, and then a hyperactive girl of about 4 who was being ignored by her zombie mother. I was in and out of the actual doctor's in about two minutes, obviously keen to get more exciting patients in and earn more points. Him, not me, I don't earn points for seeing a doctor. All he said was "put some cream on it, and come back in two weeks".
I'll leave a little pause here so you can make up your own jokes... Ready?
I didn't say why I was going anyway, it's just some badness on my shin, a patch of dry skin that's been there for months. I thought maybe it was eczema or something, which would be WEIRD for someone my age to be getting for the first time. The doctor didn't know, just said put this cortisone steroid ointment on it and see how it goes.
Sort of sorry for boring you with my medical details like this, but a) I never ever go to the doctors, so this is the most interesting thing to happen to me in a while, and b) if I put medical type phraseology up here then Google serve the more expensive ads!
So, on the subject of google, I think their new google web pages service is up and running fully now, nice easy web page making for people who don't want to learn how it all works, and back on the subject of my leg one last time, should I take loads of pictures of it and then post them up here in the form of a stop motion video like Kosso's done with his beard? Nic P recently had a link to a similar project involving someone growing a beard, go check it out...
More of today's news: At least two people on the train STANK this morning, that's not good. Oh, and yesterday while waiting for my prescription to be made up I took some pictures of some derelict shops in Folkestone.
Got some of my Javascript working nicely on here, I'm using some good ajax skills on my admin bits, will have to find a way to let site visitors benefit from it too. I need to do more on my CSS skills though, might give the site a bit of a design...
Very much looking to tomorrow's dinner at Escondido, but before that we have to shop, in Lakeside, looking forward to that less.

Electric Soft Parade did a good show for Journey Shoes at the Barfly, nice to see a little bit of a Stokey connection too - Matt Priest formerly of Dodgy and now a columnust for N16 Mag was on drums for them.
The band were good, but the Barfly STANK of puke. Bobby Gillespie was
there, could be coincidence though. He was DJing at the Queens of Noize night. Seems there was a rumour put round by somebody that the Kings of Leon would be playing a secret gig there, complete bollocks though, and not the first time this sort of things happened... Barfly had to put up a bundle of posters explaining that it wasn't true.
Also saw Craig Kelly out of Queer as Folk there, and started expounding the theory that he might be the new Doctor Who, as the new episodes are possibly being written by the same guy who wrote Queer as Folk, and in that series Craig Kelly's fan was a big Doctor Who fan... it's a bit tenuous I know, but when Alan Davies and Eddie Izzard are both unavailable, we'll see who's offered it.

Well worth going to see, and Warner Village Islington was a great place to see it. Apart from the bloke sat next to me, who stank. Seats were big, plenty of space, very comfortable.
Johnny Depp is great as Captain Jack Sparrow, he apparently based his character on Keith Richards and he plays the part with a spectacular swagger. Keira Knightly is a bit annoying as the kidnapped English rose type, and I'm not so keen on the zombie aspect to the film, but it's a really enjoyable film. Good to see a nod in there to my favourite film The Crimson Pirate too.
Nephew J had his own pirate fun for his 3rd birthday today, a visit to Pirate Pete's, some sort of kids play centre, I'm going there next time I'm down in Hampshire.
It's rained today, cooled things down a bit, we got home nice and quick on the 476 though. Now homemade spicy lentil soup with sausages, the first step on a week of "soup only diet". Is it really only soup if it's got a pound of sausages in it? Nevermind, we will eat it and watch Jonathon Creek, who could ask for a better evening?
Tomorrow: remember the Suede tickets and try to choose between Reading Festival and Canterbury Fayre...
