RE: Yes I have considered them

NO WAY I absolutely HATE iTunes, particularly its user interface. MediaMonkey is better but still not quite right. I only use iTunes when I have to, grrr, stupid Apple and yet more of their crappy proprietary technology. Have you considered gettin...

Clare's hotpot recipe

Making this for tea tonight, thought I would share the recipe with you...* Heat the oven to 180.* Chop a biggish onion into thinnish rings and start to fry gently in large pan.* Meanwhile make a start chopping up your veg - 2 or 3 large carrots, some...

MediaMonkey

When I had hard drive problems recently and had to restore all my music library from a backup, I only had backups of the actual tracks and not all the associated itunes stuff. This means I lost most of my album artwork and things! Annoyingly itunes w...

James Goddon, is a decent man, a loyal friend, who if he gave you his word would stick to it no matter what. He employed a great number of people, and was loyal to Folkestone, it is just a shame Shepway council did not show him some respect.The town...

RE: Sellindge Music Festival!

Hey there,I was at Sellindge Music Festival this year and had a great weekend, really nice small festival. Did anyone see our green camel at the back of the main field?I got some photo's of the festival here if anyone is interested... http://www.fest...

Canterbury, yesterday

Went to Canterbury yesterday, ate lunch, came home. That was about it really. Got some Thai food in The Hobgoblin. My jungle curry was pretty good, very hot too, but Clare didn't like her Pad Thai chicken.Yeah, not the most interesting thing for you ...

Women's fashion, who understands it eh?

Clare says they are the best jeans she's ever had, they fit well and they keep their shape throughout countless washes. I think all of my jeans do that, and I can't remember the last time I bought a pair anyway. I will stick to my new-looking-boot-fa...

Strange time travel

As previously possibly mentioned, I am listening to old Mark Radcliffe radio shows, on the mp3. Just listened to the last ever graveyard shift show on Radio One, and then (in exactly the wrong order) the first ever graveyard shift show from 1993. And...

Lost: bit annoying

Watched the new episode, hope you enjoy it if you watch it tonight. I'm convinced the story's still being made up as it goes along, and that there won't be any actual answers by the end of the show. Some new ideas introduced, I'll probably stick with...

Things I didn't buy in Brussels (part one)

Sticky Fingers, with the zipper cover, saw it in a record shop in mint condition for thirty euros. One here for a tenner, guess they're not that hard to get hold of, maybe I'll have this one for our hallway LP gallery......

Magic Numbers every bit as good as I predicted

OK my prediction of Morrissey joining them on stage was a complete fabrication, but we did get Bernard Butler appearing with them to perform "Love's a Game", which then medleyed on into "People Get Ready". They did another wacky ending of another of ...

David Starkey in Folkestone

Went to me first Literary Festival event yesterday, David Starkey's talk at the new academy. It was good! The talk, not so much the academy, it's nice and modernlooking but there is a bit of a prison quality to it.David Starkey lives round this way, ...

Tracey Emin will be scattering childrens clothes around our town

Read more about the Folkestone triennial, sounds interesting... Always good to get a mention in the press, even if they do highlight how run down Folkestone has been recently. Also, who is the ex Iron Maidener who lives in the town? Aha, wikipedia sa...

Folkestone triennial

Bit of a tongue in cheek story here in the Guardian about the launch of folkestone triennial (is that an art festival every three years?). Particularly hilarious is their attempt to compare Folkestone with Venice towards the end of the article... I r...

Yeah the wife saw Dave last weekend

Or the weekend before. I hope she sticks around for a while.

(Dave the dolphin, who is female, and also the wife).

RE: The Britannia in Dungeness

We've been there lately. Absolutely lovely. Highly recommend if you go visit Dungeness.

Sticky back plastic and a bluuuue peter badge

I've replied by email

Good luck, that's not a lot of info to go on, Greater London is massive so without a town or borough and a range of dates you've got your work cut out. I would stick to the free sites rather than the pay sites....

Clotto

From www.portsmouthtoday.co.uk, though I first read it in The Sun yesterday, shame on me... poor Fareham / Gosport man:Ecstatic Steve Moseley danced on his desk, threw money from his wallet at colleagues and told his boss to stick his job after being...

Sandgate Dolphin stamps

You can make your own stamps here, I think it's actually little stamp shaped stickers that go alongside a real stamp, rather than an actual stamp with your image on it, but I'm not sure.Get some that have been already made at this sandgate dolphin st...

A journey into the unknown...

Went to Ashford yesterday, for a day out, as Clare had the day off and we wanted to go bowling. Man alive, it's rubbish there... I'm kind of glad we hit the very worst high street type parts of the town first, as it meant that Ashford grew on us as t...

well it's getting silly now - and dont know if you saw this http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117952242.html?categoryid=14&cs=1&nid=2562 but people are voting with their feet (well their remote controls i guess) over here. Still, i'm going to stick w...

Princess Nikki

didn't see any of it myself, a shame as it was filmed in Folkestone, I'm led to believe all the tantrums are just put on for the camera. Today's Sunday Mirror is far less pleasant, and they say:Mixing with seamen on a Folkestone trawler, the little f...

I am gutted mate

Bobster here.I too have unexpectedly become an unemployed. I hope you are not having to take your employer to court like me? Good luck finding something cool that involves hunking loads of data about, I know you love that.I have had an idea for a s...

Stick around, someone's sure to post something offensive again!

And I expect I'll have to delete it again...

Welcome to Miami!

Or, rather, from Miami, or even (by the time I write this up) hello from England, Miami sends its regards. Just BACK from a trip to the US of States to visit Clare's bro and sister-in-law in the pan-handle bit of the Americas. Tiring flight over to M...

Get well soon Rich

Oof, chum Richy has just been rushed into hospital. He's OK now, but will not be joining us on the stag do. Most of the party are there already (I got many texts, their first beer was at 5.14am) and Rich was the one out of four of us tomorrow who kne...

RE: Is there already a casino?

exactly - Benidorm here we come. Is that really what we want for Folkestone though? On the seafront?I say stick it in the centre of town and it might bring in some idiots with money to burn - but don't put it on our seafront. What a waste that would ...

Pulp and Tindersticks, just popped along for a bit, got free tickets from someone. Not sure which day of this weekend......
