Got a sword and a beard? Want to be in Justin Hawkins' new video?

Hot Leg tonight at Proud Galleries, Camden, That London. Bit concerned about it really, got to leg it out of work at a pretty busy time for us, lots on at the moment. Leaving a little early anyway, train to London, hurriedly catch up with friends tha...

PHREADZ podcast

Well sort of. Some of the content from Kosso's phreadz.com is also available in MP4 format, which is kind of handy for ipod video. So I'm hoping this feed will populate my ipod with the fascinating conversations these guys are having. Only some of th...

Google mapping cars in Folkestone?

Tesselate says google mapping cars (that they're using to do the street view on google maps) are "about", not sure if that means Folkestone. Just wondered if she was a Google employee, as we have the google mapping cars about now, and I guess it woul...

Bonekickers

Did you see Bonekickers on TV last night? I will watch some crap, but even I had to turn it off, it was so bad! I am still tempted to catch up on what I turned off on iplayer later, just to reassure myself that it was just about the worst thing ever....

Lost!

Not Lost the TV show, I haven't actually thought about that since watching the fairly rubbish end of series four and writing that subject line. No, actually lost, some people I met yesterday who did not know where they were.My walk from work to the s...

Some rain overnight and a little more on the way at the festival, it says here in the Times, it's hardly news at all really is it. Watched Glastonbury the movie on TV last night, partly it made me really wish I was there, but when I analysed it I fou...

Did you see Folkestone on TV last night?

Slight repost from the blog, but didn't we look nice on The Culture Show last night?An aside, Vic Reeves said on the show last night that he lived in Folkestone for two years, in a flat overlooking the sea. Some misspeaking there I think, I believe h...

Did you see Folkestone on TV last night?

The town looked nice on The Culture Show, I'm glad. That's why I was looking up The Culture Show yesterday when I mentioned the Ricky Gervais stuff, to find out when this feature was on, must have got distracted before I found it or I'd have plugge...

Speaking of journeys through time and space...

The Mighty Boosh festival lineup is out, as seen on posters at Folkestone station, though I'm sure I could have been quicker off the mark than that. It's a bit ropey actually. The 'Boosh themselves headline I think, with The Charlatans, Gary Numan, W...

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...

RE: Mighty Easter weekender, with The Cure

Shame you didn't like N1LDA. I liked it - nice and simple, nice and upbeat and just what I needed after a long Easter Sunday eating and drinking with the in-laws. I thought it was well cast with beautiful cinematography too. I enjoyed it and am loo...
