“It’s a fantastic day for Margate, for Thanet and for the whole of East Kent. It really is an occasion to remember and an event to mark down in history.” said Thanet council leader Sandy Ezekiel as his spade sunk into the ground.
I suppose I should put 25th November 2008 in my diary then, maybe doodle a few fireworks around it, and then, after thinking about it, I’ll rip the page out and throw it away. Tuesday 25th November 2008 isn’t a fantastic day for me, not yet, and I’ll …

Taxi drivers are bastards. For those of you who regularly call a taxi from Broadstairs back to the campus, you’ll know the old industry term, ‘Ajay’s’ I should imagine. I had rather taken to flounderingly describing where I wished to be taken, so the poor woman at the other end was barraged with a wealth of information, all of which had very little to do with the taxi driving business (“that place where… it’s like Christ Church… but not in Canter… yeah… yeah… yeah that’s the one”). It got to …

Through the still blue of the half-light,

He beat her, bit her, slapped her, strangled her and threatened to kill her. But from those rash and pathetic statements so many people have made all over the internet, you’d think all the R&B “superstar” had done was play around behind Rihanna’s back. Alas, no. Fans have been making excuses for Brown, merely …

For those of you who regularly visit Horizons, the bar on the Broadstairs Campus, you will have noticed that it has not been open recently on a regular basis apart from the Music nights on Wednesdays…. or maybe you haven’t.
Hospitality Services, the people who run the bar, have decided to only open the bar when there is an event booked in that can guarantee sales from the bar and warrant the staffing costs, so basically if it ain’t busy it ain’t opening and who can argue against this point?

Told the stars my secrets
But the clouds knew
What weighed on my heavy heart
