The Big Blog

Just watching Blur playing at the Glastonbury festival and it just occured to me that it was almost 10 years ago that I saw them play at the Brighton Centre in December 1999. That was my first year at Uni and they were playing their ?Singles Tour? where they played every one of their 23 [...]

I haven?t really got anything to blog about at the moment, well, anything interesting to blog about, so I won?t. If you are around Thanet this weekend then can I point you in the direction of Margate?s Big Weekend,?Kent’s Leading Air and Land Festival?.
This is another event I usually miss out on but I will [...]

I got back today from a weekend in London and have to say say that I had a great time. I?ve been looking forward to the weekend as I haven?t been out in a while having tried to stay in so that I had some money to go out with, and although I?m even more [...]

Until yesterday my only experience of sushi was from the little chilled packs that are available from the chiller sections in supermarkets, but that changed with a visit to Yoshi in Canterbury. From the exterior it looks like a typical oriental restaurant, only situated on a ring road, and not welcoming at all, but I [...]

Just added an new photo over at ademdjemil.co.uk/photo. I also visited Kearnsey Abbey in Dover today and took A LOT of photos and will maybe have a good one to add to the photo blog. I?m only adding a photo if I think it?s pretty good and that I?m proud of it. Quality not quantity [...]

 
Yesterday was the first day of the 2009 Planet Thanet Easter Beer Festival and I am still alive today to tell you about it which is a good thing. It?s great to see something like this succeeding and pulling in such a crowd, with not just locals, but many people travelling some distance to sample [...]

I bought my ticket today to go and see Kasabian at the Margate Winter Gardens on 23rd March. Yes that is a Monday but what better way to try and reclaim the weekend than by going to a gig.
I honestly hadn?t heard that they were playing and it?s a bit of a coup for Margate [...]

And now I?m back from my weekend in Bournemouth. It was Phil?s stag weekend, we went out on Friday night, got drunk, went clubbing, and had fun. On saturday we went on an activity day (Rage Buggies, Dodgeball Paintball, Blind 4×4, and Clay Pigeon Shooting), went for a meal, got in fancy dress, went out, [...]

On Saturday afternoon I went up to see my Dad in Edmonton and again went out for a huge lunch at a Turkish restaurant and I returned to Lewisham around 3:30pm and met up with Tim, Steve, and Tom for a bit of a session. The session included beer, pool, more beer, bowling, beer, shots, Flaming Lamborghini?s, [...]

I?ve had quite a few visits to the blog these past few days with people wanting to know more about Euroferries service between Ramsgate and Boulogne, and the comments left have not all been completely positive about whether this will actually happen, with even Stephen Ladyman saying ?we need to keep our fingers crossed that no [...]
