Eurovision: an Alternate view

by admin on May 10, 2013 • No Comments
This isn’t a comment on Eurovision – which incidentally, I LOVE (who’d have thought?). It’s more about Alternative Eurovision from Time Out Live next Friday 17th May at London Wonderground! All those words sound fun together don’t they? Well, you can look with your eyes at how much fun it...

Feels like a different Christian festival is upon us this weekend rather than the actual egg-fest that will be occurring, but the weather, as you probably know as you wear all your clothes every day to battle against the massive freeze, has not bucked its ideas up since November. At least...

Despite mince pies being in the supermarket since September, Christmas begins this week in my working world.
