Wasnt aware they hadn't begun building there yet, that's been a hold up of a few years then.. Wonder what the covenant is then be interested in hearing about that, lots of people i know were gutted when it closed down, not to mention one of the Pros was a lad I grew up playing innthe same Junior teams at Gillingham,.he'd developed a really good junior programme there for young kids to start playing. Once it closed he struggled and now has retrained as a podiatrist ?, barely even plays now..
Makes sense considering whats there, funny and little area where they have a load of fake houses built for search training, like a 1970s built version of coronation street but with fake pipe bombs lining the street... A smaller scaled version of Lydd training camp.Anti terroist training
The Avenue used to be the Central hotel...my mother when she was a girl used to be friends with the duaghter of the then owners/managers (before my time even)
Wow thats going back some, used to Love the Avenue, 50p a pint on a Friday night, door staff used to let me in free and then Paul Stone bought, let the licence go and sold the land for a mint to develop houses on...
Also Gordon Barracks just thinking is that the one that was white buildings and backed onto Anchorians fields and houses there opposite Gillingham Golf club because there was one there as well

Makes sense for RE to retain their Element. Out of interest Paul what land they sell and develop to build the new Mid kent College round by Khyber road. My daughter is at college there and everytime I've picked her up i can't quite piece together what they sold off. As i know the med centre still seems in same place, but down that way used to be the Pads, but also from Memory there was an old drill hall where I went to Marine Cadets as a kid (hence the route I took) but were some old accommodation blocks but don't remember them ever being in use. I maybe misremembering the layout though.

The only Drill Hall I’m aware of was part of the old Navy Barracks (HMS Pembroke), so whether it’s built on that as again, that closed in the 80’s I’m not sure, it’s a good 9-10yrs since I was last there.

Lee Ryan from Blue.. He tried it on with one of the lads girlfriends, even gave it the don't you know who I am chat when fronting up the lad who up till that point had been polite in asking him to not put his hands on his girlfriend.. It was then it went noisy ?
Thanks Paul, it was Pembroke I was thinking of remember the mast out front the Sea Cadets used to salute at the flag on. Plus that makes sense as to where the college is my daughters at....

Five years after rejecting my carefully costed simple plans for a village community project, the 'committee' are now having to backtrack on their 'over ambitious' costly plans and go with mine.
Meanwhile lots of angst from the villagers over time and money wasted.

Charity muggers seem to be making a comeback.
They're your friend, but behind the façade is a ruthless cold-caller who wants your bank details, and bad for the charity in the long run.

Scam call trying to get you to renew your Amazon Prime subscription for £39.99. Yes - easily spotted if you know you don’t have one but but Mrs wasn’t sure when she took the call...but she’s aware enough that she asked me...
well documented on-line
but as ever with surprise calls asking for something - be aware.

We watched White House Farm last night at 9, heaven knows why as it is dragging on and I have lost interest, instead of the last in the series episode of Silent Witness. My son kindly sent a message last night giving a major spoiler on Silent Witness because he thought we would be watching that. That is irritating

If you have ambitions for such as you allude to it is always best to eat a bite at a time - not try and eat the elephant in one go at one sitting - so plan it in achievable phases so you can stop at any time having been able to deliver something for funds spent.

Mrs Hogie had a bit of a hair restyle yesterday - a bit shorter than was. She asks me this morning 'is it cut short enough at the back?' My answer? 'I don't know' elicits a glare and a 'thanks a lot for you help...' response.
