UK Flooding	by Marcus Suitor (Member 10041953) on 27-Jul-2007
We often hear about foreign countries needing help in one way or another and many are quick to jump to do their part. The time has come however where the need is much deeper, much closer and more serious than before. The time is now and the place is here at our very own doorstep. It is understood that not everyone may be in a position to lend a helping hand due to own personal or financial cir cumstances. It is understood that many may have joined certain organisations (as this one) so to gain friendship, fellowship, status or even recognition in their own right and at one point had every intention of helping if the time should come yet have fallen short of doing so when the such time actually came due to whatever reasons there may have been. It is understood that some may even have forgotten what it�s like to be in need, desperate and vulnerable or have just had the good fortune to never be in such a predicament. I understand and I accept all the above. So now I ask you understand this; Our Country has been under attack, not by a foreign invading force nor terrorists or war but by nature itself. Many thousands of families across the country have lost everything they owned, jobs, homes, loved ones, their entire lives washed away, torn from them without mercy. We, people of goodwill are responsible to do what ever we can to help and support those in need wherever we possibly can. It is at times such as these when our Country-folk require our support, unity and the coming together of everyone able to do their part and help those whom for obvious reasons cannot help themselves. Hence I ask the following from each of you: PLEASE look around the house, the shed, the garage, under your beds, in your cupboards, for unused items of clean clothing, canned foods, First-Aid materials, perhaps even a cash donation of something simple as �5. All items and donations will be collected and given to a Council or parish selected in an area most affected by the disaster. This will aid various organisations such as St. Johns Ambulance, The British Red Cross, The Salvation Army and others to hand out such items or fund the purchase of life saving essentials as desperately needed. Alternatively, I urge you to get together in completing this task, appoint someone to be responsible in organising and then collectively giving to a charity of your own choice. All efforts are appreciated and your charity will go to good use for those families whom have lost absolutely everything. It is little to ask of you but means so much to so many. They thank you and I thank you for your efforts and support in helping when most needed at desperate times like these. Chev.

Unfortunately this deranged weather is just the beginning. With global warming we will be seeing much, much more of this kind of thing. Combined with generosity when these incidents happen, there is much that can be done - buying energy saving bulbs, switching to a green electricity provider (Ecotricity), not leaving TVs on standby, unplugging cha rgers, turning off lights, using public transport where possible, buying local food from local shops, offsetting yout transport and other emissions (Climate Care seems about the best of these sites), taking holidays that don't involve flying, etc, etc. It may seem that one person's input is negligable especially with all the development in China, but we led the way into the industrial revolution so maybe we can lead the green revolution too. It's either that or colonise another planet 'cos the way we're going this one's on its way out!!! ... more >> Re: UK Flooding by D Bewsey (Member 10101410) on 8-Aug-2007 Yeah man.

The 666 Devil Bus	by Herbert TheTurbot (Member 10191426) on 20-Jul-2007
Even more stupid that ring road complaints is people who think the 666 Ashford to Faversham bus is a place for devil worship. The firm who run the service played on the number 666 and have a cheeky little devil on the bus, I think it's cute. Some stupid woman in the KE went off on one about religion and being a Christian. Get a life you sad cow. Do you celebrate fireworks night on the 5th of Novem ber??? Well then you are promoting and celebrating terrorism. Lets all blow up a bus on July the 7th every year to celebrate shall we. Idiot. ... more >> Re: The 666 Devil Bus by Hakr (Member 10157768) on 23-Jul-2007 I got thrown off that bus once. All I was doing was trying to slaughter my fatted calf while chanting... Bit off really.. Really though - I think the bus with the devil sign gives the town a little bit of character and shows a some signs of humour, its nice to see and should remain... Re: The 666 Devil Bus by Paul Goatox (Member 10176489) on 25-Jul-2007 The use of this number is actually a mistranslation from the book of Revelation anyway. Fundamentalists need to grasp the history - the times and circumstances religious texts were written in. At this period in history Christians were being persecuted so a lot of what was written is in code. It is quite possible that the number 666 merely represents Nero. Re: The 666 Devil Bus by Buster (Member 10101570) on 25-Jul-2007 Is this the bus to Faversham via Kennington, Shelwich and Hades? Reply

Ashford's New Two Way Ringroad	by Herbert TheTurbot (Member 10191426) on 20-Jul-2007
After the first week when the timings were a bit out the ringroad is flowing like a treat now. I can't believe the amount of no lifers who slag the thing off in the Kentish Express. It's a road, that's it a bit of asphalt that you drive over. The fact you have to wait a few moments really pisses some folk off. Re: Ashford's New Two Way Ringroad by Hakr (Member 10157768) on 23-Jul-2007 I quite like it really, going the other way gives me a whole new perspective ;) Re: Ashford's New Two Way Ringroad by Paul Goatox (Member 10176489) on 25-Jul-2007 It's still a novelty for me as I don't drive round Ashford much. It seems to flow better the wrong way round than it does the right way round. If it doesn't work they are going to turn it all back again in two year's time anyway. If they are too scared to nick the idiot boy racers I suppose redesigning an entire ring road is the next alternative. Well done lads, you can put your caps back on t he right way round now, roll your trouser legs back down, stop swearing and drive at 30mph like the rest of us. ... more >> Re: Ashford's New Two Way Ringroad by Buster (Member 10101570) on 25-Jul-2007 I've got a Bora which would eat their cars for breakfast and leave them feeling like the bufoons that they r.

Question	by Alan Crownacre (Member 10176309) on 26-Mar-2006
Ever had that dream where you have just got off a train and walked out of Ashford station along Elwick Road and there's a large articulated lorry blocking the road with traffic queued up behind it and when you look back, you can actually see the M20 heading off towards Folkestone in front of the North Downs with all the cars stacked up along it and in front you can see the tower of the night-club and somebody is walking about on the top of it. Still, as you're on foot, you are able to walk past the jack-knifed lorry and beyond it all the lanes seem to merge into one with all the white lines criss-crossing at funny angles until the ring road becomes very narrow like an alleyway with brick walls on either side and eventually it's just a grass track lined with trees and bending sharply to the right where Godinton Road would come off and you wonder if somehow you are seeing what Ashford was like before it got built up. Under one of the trees is a trap-door which you open and climb down and end up in a corridor that is like some kind of subway leading into the old Ashford market, except that in the dream the market is always in a plush building with a red carpet and it never really moved out to Orbital Park, but they told everybody that to keep the trouble makers out, and it's been secretly carrying on underground here for years. Anyway, there are lots of desks around with people handing out information leaflets, so you take one and it seems to be a reprint of an article from the Daily Mail all about Ashford becoming a French province and you walk out and seem to end up by the banks of the Royal Military Canal somewhere near Appledore with a few people fishing, and then you wake up and there's a sheet of paper in your hand and you're scared to read it in case the dream was real and it's actually the information handout on the French province thing, so you get up and look out of the window and it is just getting light and all of a sudden somebody is driving a herd of sheep up the road outside so you realise that you are still dreaming and go back to bed and try to get back to sleep, but the noise of the sheep gets louder and louder until it's intolerable and you decide to get up again and go downstairs and make a cup of tea, which is when you relax and finally wake up for real??? No, neither have I! ... more >> Re: Question by Paul Goatox (Member 10176489) on 2-Apr-2006 Fantastic piece of creative writing. You should write a book Alan.
