Marxist Tour Of Ramsgate
The Marxmen
<p>My g/f came down from East Gringstead to visit me yesterday. It was great to see her and as a treat I took her on a Marxist tour of Ramsgate as run by Simon Mores(?) who is running the Magical Marxist exhibition up at IOTA. I really never knew how much time Marx spent in Ramsgate. About ten visits in all and a couple more than that by Engles. We did have a fun time… well, I did.. my poor girl puts up with all sorts for me. The tour itself was wittily called Land Marx and finished at the Churchills for a quiz called Top Marx. We even got Karl Marx masks to wear at the end. I’d hoped to pick up all the information for the quiz on the tour (plus a bit of skim reading before hand) but it didn’t actually have anything to do with Marxism. Shame really as I don’t know anything about Coronation Street. Still, he was a question writer for Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, so I can’t really complain.</p><p>
Don’t know how we finally did in the quiz. At half way we were third, but we left before the end to go to Balmoral in Broadstairs to try and catch some of the acoustic stuff that was going on there (a real jolly jaunt around Thanet). Shame really as I noticed a note behind the bar stating a £30 drinks tally for the winning team…. unused. Could that have been my £30 worth of drinks that I’ve missed out on by leaving?</p><p>
Btw, I’m using a blogger plugin on my linux here that despite having a field for the ‘title’ of a post, doesn’t actually fill it in, but rather puts it as the first line of the post.</p>
