Remembering the Admiral Duncan Bombing — 26 Years On

Twenty-six years ago today, on 30 April 1999, the heart of Soho was shaken by an act of senseless violence.

Hello Denmark, hello København! I can’t really say anything negative or sarky about this country, its capital or the lovely people who inhabit it!

Eurovision 2024 – The Flight to Malmö!

Hurrah! I’m on the plane! Eurovision fans everywhere! I wonder when the crew will start singing EUPHORIA… So far sadly it’s only Ryanair’s abysmal ‘getting on the plane’ music.
