As we mentioned briefly before, Thursday brings the East 2008 Festival. For six days, a cornucopia of performances, exhibitions, workshops, food and other events ensures entertainment with emphasis on promotion of the best of East London. Here’s our pick of the mix: 6th March: F-EAST - artists Wiebke and Nicholas Morgan cook a meal from 12 recipes from a Nigel Slater cookbook, and serve it for visitors as an exploration into ownership and the......

Or is it? Samina Malik, self-described “lyrical terrorist”, yesterday became the first women sentenced under the Terrorism Act. Found guilty last month of collecting materials “useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism”, including original poetry with titles such as How to Behead and The Living Martyrs, the 23-year-old West Londoner was given a suspended jail sentence, during which time she will be required to undertake supervised community service for 18......

Amen to that! Found in various locations in the Covent Garden area.......

Remember how last week we told you of the awful news about Lily Allen's dog, Maggie May being stolen? Well, Maggie May is back home! On Wednesday, she received a call from a man claiming to have bought the dog as a present for his sister, her friends went to meet the man and handed over the cash reward in return for the dog. However, it may not have been as innocent as it......

We couldn't resist the chance to ride up to the London Eye on a horse... Found via Constitution Hill who pointed us over to the Digitally Distributed Environments website, which has enough virtual London eye candy to choke a horse with.......

DCist is screwed in the event of an oil crisis. Not that we're not all screwed in the event of an oil crisis, just D.C. is more screwed. Don't sell your car yet, District resident, a cabbie can kick you to the curb if he doesn't like your address. Not even Metro can save you now. Torontoist has got a guy that's going for the world karaoke record. Fifty hours straight. Damn. That is stupid.......

Found near Harrow Road, alongside the Grand Union Canal. Someone (allegedly Banksy) has gone to a lot of trouble for a very weak punchline. In case you can’t read it: Once upon a time there was a Bear and a Bee who lived in a wood and were the best of friends. All summer long, the Bee collected nectar from morning to night while the Bear lay on his back basking in the long......

Note to RSS readers: This is not about Abu Hamza. Found: a very old and valuable manuscript from the dawn of modern science. Wanted: a ‘white knight’ with lots of cash to secure it for the nation. That’s the nub of the gist, anyway. The minutes of the Royal Society from 1661-1682 have been rediscovered in a private Hampshire home during an evaluation of the owner’s antiques. ‘I thought it must be too good......

We're only three days into 2006 and we've already had our first 'London woman marries dolphin story' or as Israel's YNet News had it Brit Jew marries dolphin as reported in their singles section - where else? We're not suggesting that this story is any reflection at all on the current pickings in the London singles scene, that dolphins are better listeners than men or even that rich people are bonkers. We simply wanted......

Found Magazine is itself a real find: it's a collection of the poignant, funny, frightening and just outright odd bits and pieces of paper that slip through life's cracks. As the website says: We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework, to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles - anything that gives a glimpse into someone else's life. Anything goes... There's a voyeuristic thrill to be had browsing Found......
