    yes it attracted a lot of asylum seekers from all around ,looks like they have now moved on . Those coastal towns are popular with white flight Brits, who are getting out of London at an alarming rate.
    Some nice places in Kent

    Our child free plan to go on the piss in London, was scuppered by the shitty English weather, so we went to our "go to" place when it's raining, Bluewater Shopping Centre.

    A bit of lunch at Jamie Olivers, and watched hangover 3 at the cinema. Not a great day out but what can you do when it's pissing down with rain.



    The misses waits to vibrate. Don't see the point in this, they give you a pager that bleeps and vibrates when your table is ready. In the mean time they ask you to wait in the bar area 10 feet away.




    Only negative thing to say about the meal was my Latte. It was just about warm instead of hot.









    Hangover 3 was what you would expect. 40% worse than number 2, which was 30% worse than number 1. Worth a giggle though.

    Yesterday, a day to forget. Got roped in to speaking to the kids class, a subject and practical exercise, in making hamburgers. all about learning English, naming things like bread, tomatoes etc. The teachers know English as well as I know Thai, they know names, but can not converse. After doing my piece and having run out of things to say, they wanted more, what could I say. So putting on my best Richard Burton voice recited the only nonsense rhythm I could remember, the Owl and The Pussycat. No one had any idea what I was saying, except one teacher. Who later asked in Thai and broken English, do you make hamburgers from cats in Australia.

    Today went to take my Chinese chopper for a ride, but it started raining again, 10 hours later still sitting playing on the computer. Jim

    I meant to reply to this post when you made it but completely forgot to come back to it.

    I'm not sure what pics you took mate, but there was only one that I liked. That picture you did for Neo was brilliant and if you get bored this summer and want to do a water colour of this one for me, I'll pay you £20 for it. It's just a token payment obviously, but a it's a crate of beer for doing something you enjoy anyhow, is the way I see it. I've never owned a picture that I've had commissioned.

    As an artist it's probably the last one you would choose to paint as it's pretty boring, but it appeals to me. A bit more sun on it would have been better mind.

    Rochester Kent

    Today we went to the last day of this years Dickens festival in Rochester Kent, a place with strong connections to Charles Dickens. I used to go every year as a younger man, great all day and night piss up. This is the first time I've ever bothered to go as a growned up family man. Not a bad way to kill a few hours.



    A pleasant walk from the car to the Castle.










    Reach the castle.







    I spend 15 minutes explaining the big siege, and how they dug a tunnel under the corner tower and propped it up with wooden beams, then set fire to the beams collapsing the tunnel and bringing down the tower.



    He just looked at me and said "Fuck it, I'm just gonna climbe over"





    A few stalls set up outside the castle.





    A slight twist on the coconut shy





    Directly opposite the castle is the cathedral




    Up in to the castle grounds to the fun fair.














    The view down to the river Medway.



    Down to the High street. Looking back at the castle.










    The side view of the cathedral from the High Street.





    Lest we forget indeed.



    The High Street.









    Note to self. Download some sea shanty singing. Love it.



    Popped in to the cathedral.



    Take a walk over to the park near the river.



    Give the kid(s) a bubble gun. keeps them happy for 20 minutes.




    Looking back to the castle.



    The river Medway and Rochester Bridge.




    Go back to the High Street because It's beer o'clock. Cheers.



    His royal highness travels first class as usual.



    Perfect timimg, Just sat down for a beer and the end of day procession comes past. All the characters we've seen througout the day, all meet up and walk from one end of the High Street to the other, singing and dancing. All good fun.

    I went for some redneck fun today. On the way home from the lake last week with my date, I seen this fresh gravel pit. So I decided it was time to go explor it.
    I was pissed off when I just pulled up because it looked like I was locked out. A closer look revealed that the lock was torched off. Perfect !

    So I opened the gate, drove in and closed it behind me.

    This was on top of one of the piles that I climbed. Constant virticles and valleys make it a good workout.




    On the peak of another pile. Wabaman lake is in the back round.

    Steep to my left and right. Time to go down.

    ^ The first time ever I actually want to green you and I can't.

    That's what playing silly school boys with reds does for you.

    There is another option for you mate. The barge in this photo here operates cruises up and down the Medway. Unless it was the paddle steamer bit that appealed?

    It's available for charter, which I would guess would be extortionate, but it operates at the two festivals in Rochester every year, The Dickens and The Sweeps festivals. Perhaps you could give it a go next summer. It's only £15 quid a ticket which isn't bad because it only takes 12 people each trip.

    I do fear you may have over imagined how scenic the Medway is mind. It's not really all that.

    ''Where did you go today'' is the name of this thread isn't it?

    I could have lied and said I went out in my Porsche with my hi-so GF but I'm devoid of photographic evidence of that.

    where is the mongering report ?
    I did take a walk up to King's Cross on the Saturday night but it was a bit dismal. Some rough scrubbers smiling through gritted teeth and narrow eyes and a few loud girls out on the party piss. Not a very nice atmosphere. Maybe the colder weather gives the place a harder edge.

    The loud party piss heads doesn't surprise me. If the mongering scene is anything like New Zealand there then you might as well just toss one off.

    Where I post from, is a democratic country. So I'm free to post on here.

    Just because you're used to a corrupt, dictatorship style nation like Thailand, doesn't mean you can put that shit on me.

    That's him told.

    Met a lovely cat today in Penryn.

    So by how many pics you have posted, that means you didn't do anything better ?
