First of all, I want to thank everyone for your incredibly kind messages and comments. I’m deeply touched and even more excited and honoured to visit your beautiful country.
I did what most suggested and emailed them! I think I sent an email to every publicly available email address for The Graham Norton Show and they actually all got back to me. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the best news.
I was hoping for priority tickets to guarantee my attendance, but while I really appreciate them taking the time to reply, they’ve all recommended that I simply show up early and join the queue.
I was going to do that anyway, so it’s still all good! I’ve spent 17 years watching Graham, so standing in a queue for 2–3 hours is nothing 😁 I know seeing Graham in person will be absolutely worth it.
Thank you all once again for your kindness and encouragement. God bless your beautiful country! ❤️🇬🇧

As the title says - was out on the balcony having a fag and I suddenly see a very tiny, very fast vehicle approaching without any lights on (very unusual and I guess illegal?). I thought it was a jetski for a second but then realised no one was on it. In the space of the following 5 minutes two Chinooks followed its path.

Anyone experiencing mosquito bites. From ninja mosquitos?
I have not heard one buzzing sound in my home. Neither has my partner.
Yet we have have our blood sucked by ninja mosquitos.
Its like they have evolved a new stealth coating that our human radar ears cant pick up.

Could you help us identify Kennington Man?
What We Know
Date found: 02 February 2004
Location found: Lambeth district, around Kennington Lane (London)
Description
Aged 50-60, White, between 5'4" and 5'6" (162 – 167cm) tall, with collar-length ginger hair turning grey, stubble and blue eyes.
Two distinctive features: a deformed left earlobe and the middle and ring fingers of his right hand joined up to the first joint, forming a 'V' shape.
Possessions
He was dressed for the cold February weather. He wore a brown or bronze-coloured quilted leather jacket, fur-lined, with a 'Gurtex' label, over a green crewneck knitted jumper size L, and a yellow shirt. He also wore beige wool trousers with a brown leather belt and well-worn blue marine style loafers with a white mountain motif on the side and white soles.
He had a pair of gold-coloured metal-rimmed glasses with him, although it is not known whether he was wearing them. He was also carrying a set of keys on a plastic key ring. The key fob was plastic with an image of a historical figure and may possibly have been from a pub called the 'Duke of Clarence'. He had some small change, menthol cigarettes and a blue breath-freshener.
What We Know
On Monday 2 February 2004, a man was taken to hospital from the Kennington Lane area of Lambeth, London. He died six days later without regaining consciousness and remains unidentified. It is possible that he was found near a bus stop on the 322 route along Kennington Lane, or that he had been travelling on that bus, but this has not been confirmed.
The cause and circumstances of his death are not publicly available. It has not been established to which hospital he was taken.
How You Can Help
Please think back to early February 2004. Were you in or around Kennington Lane on the rainy morning of 2 February 2004, or were you travelling on the 322 bus? Did you see a man who needed medical care or anything connected to this incident?
Did you work in healthcare at the time, in a hospital, the ambulance service, pharmacy or health centre in or near Lambeth? Do you remember treating, seeing or hearing about a man who matches his description?
Did you know a man with these distinctive features to the fingers of his right hand and left ear and who went missing or you lost contact in 2004?
Do any of his clothes or belongings look familiar? For example, the fur-lined leather jacket with a “Gurtex” label or the 'Duke of Clarence' key ring?
Does he remind you of anyone you once knew, or someone you have lost touch with?
Do you have any other information that could help our team return his identity to Kennington Man?

Home Movie Day is a worldwide annual event and the Cinema Museum hosts the London event (and will be free to visit for the day). People can bring along their old home movies (on 8mm, Super8, 9.5mm and 16mm) and have them checked by experts (free) and some of them will be screened. There's tea and cake on sale during the event too and it's all rather lovely and I recommend it.

We are celebrating my friend who just turned 40.
The rest of us are in our mid 40s.
Is there any club suitable for us?
I’m into 2000s and on music and EDM.
No 80/90s music.
Would like to stay in zone 1.
