Zombies, plague, fire, aliens, vampires, bombs, giant kittens… London’s had quite a few things thrown at it over the years in both real life and fantasy, but no one expected the biggest threat to come from our feathered friends. The threatened deadly bird flu epidemic …
Gigs, gigs, gigs, pay money and see shows. Unless of course they’re free. You should always go and see free shows, especially if its the Editors this evening at 7pm at the Truman Brewery Complex on Brick Lane. Friends of ours keep haranguanging us about …
