Tonight's Come Dine With Me was the episode recently filmed in Folkestone and Dover, so looking forward to that:
Four cooks from Folkestone and Dover engage in a week of competitive dining. Taking part are eccentric 70-year-old Janet Cripps, self-confessed witch Lisa Mansfield, parish priest Andy Bawtree and businessman John George.
Between them the quartet of hopeful hosts come up with a 50s night, some saucy talk and physical exchanges over dessert, a Downton Abbey dress code, an Abba tribute band, and a cowboy song.
I hear there is some bad behaviour, what a shocker!
This is part of my website The Folkestone Gerald that I built in a fury of excitement when we first moved here sometime in 2004. I'd been a frequent visitor for a while previous to that so I am technically one of those DFLs you get nowadays. The site was updated more frequently with a gig calendar and voting for favourite venues and stuff, and I know it was a useful reference for others who were thinking of moving here. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as The town is now becoming the exciting place we always thought it was just about to. I am not Gerald by the way, this comes from a pretend paper in an episode of Brasseye or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local paper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do contact me if you have anything to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
