Picture result/In and around Valentine's Day!
14 February 2008
Yes the frivolities are over and the girl in the photo is indeed Keeley Hawes, star of many a top BBC production and the current hit series Ashes to Ashes, which is the sequel to the hugely successful Life on Mars.
Barry Williams was in there faster than a wheeltapper's whippet, and got the correct answer straight away. I thought at that point it was to be too easy, but no I guess it wasn't. Then along popped PW from Deal to get it right also, so well done Paul. We will pick the winner out of a hat, which shouldnt prove too difficult a task, there being only two! Perhaps Jan Tranter, former mayor extraordinaire, might do the honours at the very next social gathering.Many thanks to those who gave it a go.
Who is this in the picture? To celebrate this new doverforum being one year old I can offer one
We will be having a small party in March, probably in the White Horse Inn, to celebrate being one year old and the prize will be presented there. If the winner cannot make the White Horse we will still make sure the £20 gets to them.

Ah yes it's that time of the year again....Valentine Cards thundering onto the doormat from the relieved arms of the poor oul postie. Weatherbeaten Florists beating your door down trying to get in with armfuls of floral fragrance. Guys in black vests endeavouring to deliver chocolates through your windswept windows, sometimes with the help of hovering helicopters. Champagne corks a-popping all about you, endangering life and limb as they shoot off hither and tither.... and that's just the fellas!! The girls do even better!
Seriously though, I hope you all have a nice and pleasant Valentine's day. Many of you will be going out to enjoy romantic evening meals in the abundance of delightful establishments in or near Dover. There are some great events on. The restaurants play their part, and many will do well, which is great for both them and us. The whole thing is celebrated again on saturday, so it's a double whammy of a boost for the local restaurant trade. And that's good, as we need to see them thriving for a healthy community life. Oi'll be dragging my old bones out on saturday night so I will.
If anyone wants to leave a message below for their loved ones please do, or indeed a comment in similar vein, all welcome!

Might as well keep the frivolity going for a while longer as some peeeps will be out celebrating the romantic day on saturday night, not wanting a whole night of passion blighting their work performance during mid week..heavens no! But.... to diversify for a bit.Who is this in the picture? To celebrate this new doverforum being one year old I can offer one

I remain yours faithfully Vic Matcham - OK - time for someone to guess the identity of the photo.
My guess, the star of Ashes to Ashes, Keeley Hawes ..... - Barry - saw this when at work and though the same - great minds and all ??
- Zoe Reynolds
- Oh dear !..only a few goes at this. It must have been harder than I thought. I hadnt intended to make it too difficult..but looks like I did..sigh!
I shall reveal all on monday so still time for a few more contributions. - You're all wrong, its Maggie Thatcher's alta ego, circa 1981..Ha, Ha, Ha (Mad laughing trails off into the distance)
- It's Julie Christie before she even thought she may need the cosmetic surgeon's knife.
- I've got it! it's Racquel Welch blowing out her candles on her 67th Birthday!
- whoever it is, seems to be blowing something ian.
- I think it's Sheena Easton.
- Audrey Hepburn
- I know I am not right, But I think it is Sinead O'Connor
- BB?
- Is it someone using an expletive after they caught you peeping through thier letterbox?
- Holly Arid ??
- Got it..... I was convinced it was her.
Thanks PaulB.
I have no idea why I recognosed her from that photo. Perhaps I was inspired by having seen a recorded episode not long before you put it on the web.
See you at the White Horse in march, hopefully, you too PW....
