  • Kids Activities in London
    Kids from 7 to 11 years old IN LONDON Step into Land of the Lions Land of the Lions is here! ZSL London Zoo’s newest and most breath-taking exhibit transports visitors from the heart of London to India’s vibrant Sasan Gir, where they can get closer than ever before to mighty Asiatic lions. Shrek’s Adventure London London's newest family attraction! Step into the kingdom of Far Far Away and enjoy a brand new madcap Shrek adventure where amazing DreamWorks animation, captivating story-telling and a good dose of Donkey’s cheekiness awaits. The London Dungeon (all ages) It has all the ghastly gore and black comedy of the old Tooley Street attraction in a bigger and more high-tech package. A jokey celebration of torture, death and disease, visitors can journey back in time to London's plague-ridden streets (rotting corpses, rats, vile boils and projectile vomiting all come as standard) and meet some of the city's unsavoury characters, from Guy Fawkes to demon barber Sweeney Todd. A cast of blood- splattered actors are joined by 'virtual' guests, such as Brian Blessed as Henry VIII, and as well as the 18 different shows and 'surprises' – which could see you on the run from Jack the Ripper or getting lost in London's Victorian sewers – there are two rides to raise the adrenaline: a turbulent boat trip down the Thames towards execution, and a dark drop ride plunging three stories in the pitch black. Note that the London Dungeon is unsuitable for young or easily scared children.

  • Young, Gifted and Punk: My Mad Days with Rik Mayall June 18, 2014 6.03Am BST
    Young, gifted and punk: my mad days with Rik Mayall June 18, 2014 6.03am BST The untimely death of me old mucker Rik Mayall last week has prompted a plethora of obituaries in the press and on television and radio. However, as someone who “nearly” grew up with Rik at Manchester University in the mid- 1970s (we never quite made the leap to post-adolescence) his premature death has been a devastating personal blow – as it has, I’m sure, to all those who knew him. As the youngest of the 1975 intake – Rik was only 56 years old when he died – his passing not only uncomfortably reminds us all of our own mortality but has invoked the glorious memories of an age of creative experiment and glorious mayhem. As an undergraduate studying Drama at Manchester University, I first met Rik when both housed in the Manchester University Hall’s of Residence at Owen’s Park, Fallowfield. What united us from the off was our love of the absurd, the irreverent and the cheap burgers from the so-called Armpit – the nearby Canadian Charcoal Pit take-away. Also we both had a penchant for pulling faces, putting on silly voices and like many of our generation, quoting large sections of Monty Python sketches, which were seen as de rigeur for “coolness” in the mid- 1970s. He was a fascinating life-force, not least because he could stick the top of his ear into the hole. The living was easy at that time with generous student grants to ease the squalor of student life – or rather to propagate it.

After a week full of wind, rain, blisters and ice baths, Jo aims to reach her final destination in Liverpool tonight (Thursday 28 January).

Helen Lederer before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised Finger Food. Helen Lederer: 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. One of the Few Quick Reads Made in 2012, But a Bit of an Average StoryBy James N SimpsonThe Quick Reads series of books aim is to increase literacy levels by encouraging those who don't like to read beyond magazines and comic books to try fiction through cheap priced short story length fiction and nonfiction. Titles sold off the rack for only a couple of pounds, in fact in 2013 it's down to one pound. Although there were quite a few titles in former years, 2012 (which Finger Food was a part of) saw the beginning of a drastic decline in the number of books released under this UK initiative, a decline which has continued into 2013 with even less. Possibly due to the bad economic landscape in the UK, or maybe due to the vast amount of cheap short stories available on Kindle, who knows. So firstly I would point out it is commendable that actress Helen Lederer has submitted to a hopefully not, but by the looks of things dying but worthy cause with her short fiction story Finger Food.However as much as doing a good deed is worthy of praise, I keep that and the rating of a book separate.

  • Absolute Pandemonium: My Louder Than Life Story PDF Book
    ABSOLUTE PANDEMONIUM: MY LOUDER THAN LIFE STORY PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Brian Blessed | 384 pages | 19 May 2016 | Pan MacMillan | 9781447292975 | English | London, United Kingdom Absolute Pandemonium: My Louder Than Life Story PDF Book Along the way, he yells at a lot of people. Brian Blessed is a national treasure: actor, trained undertaker, romantic, martial artist, boxer, mountaineer, and a man with a lifetime of anecdotes which are variously hilarious, tragic, wise, interesting, life reaffirming, touching, and insightful. He's an actor, film star, trained undertaker, unlikely diplomat, secret romantic, martial artist and mountaineer. The opening tale about the homing turd on Mt Everest set the tone for the entire book. Want to Read Currently Reading Read. View 2 comments. Early on in this raucously time- hopping collection of anecdotes loosely arranged as a story told by a master storyteller, Blessed makes an odd and entirely pointless request when asking the reader to imagine the story as told in Blessed's own, booming voice. If you're looking for a hilarious memoir, this is the one for you. As with many biographies, I was especially enthralled by his childhood memories during WW2. He lives in Surrey with his wife, Hildegard Neil. By clicking "Notify Me" you consent to receiving electronic marketing communications from Audiobooks. Crammed with anecdotes from his illustrious career, this is a funny, warm-hearted, life-affirming, LOUD and unique memoir from a much-loved figure. This book has been an education. His childhood, career, second wife and the making of Flash Gordon is entertaining and funny. What a man, what a life, what a fabulous audiobook.
