“ A decor which echoes the family feel with a touch of
decadence ”
10upfront
Most desirable locations we ’ re suggesting you decamp to this month in order to temporarily escape the crushing disaster of your life , in reverse order of desirability : a gay alldayer in a national sport stadium ; an indie festival underneath a mountain ; the bottom of a peat bog in Powys

Want to know why I , a person who goes to ‘ the movies ’ about twice a year , still reads Keiron Self ’ s reviews every month ? Well , because I have to proofread them , but also because I find out about things like 2 Guns , a Washington / Wahlberg buddy cop movie , and get a deep-fried corn dog of a pun in the closing sentence
24food & drink
A selection of restaurants , recipes and recommended days out to keep you fed until you ’ re meat in the grave [ applies for grant to open zombie bacon theme restaurant called Meat In The Grave ]

This month we ’ re suggesting you go to Bridgend and see a band with the lyrics “ believe in the dreams worth waking up for .” I have taken this ethos on board and have applied for another grant to make an erotic mano a mano movie about two bouncers , inspired by the Tidy Boys pic on the Clubs page
40reviews
In the liner notes to one of the disco reissues I ’ ve reviewed this month , someone mentions that during the commercial peak of the genre it was standard practise to get given $ 100,000 to make an album , spend about a quarter of that on recording and the rest on whatever you felt like . Most new albums reviewed this month will be lucky to break even
45lifestyle
All of Buzz ’ s full-time employees went to university in south Wales , and it sure put us on the map [ writes name on incredibly valuable map stolen from Aberystwyth University ]. Here ’ s a four-page supplement detailing similar options available to you
56sport
“ Written by Dave Brayley / Participants must train daily / Taking place in Tenby / For the love of God do not send me .” Thanks to Black Sabbath for rewriting one of their best known songs to mark the publication of a short article on this year ’ s Ironman Wales challenge
58travel
August is when the Edinburgh Festival happens , so we ’ re running a travel piece on the Edinburgh Festival . Simples , as animatronic TV puppet Thom Yorke might say . All the attractions listed are also available during the other 11 months of the year , when Edinburgh isn ’ t full of people like you

If you were looking forward to the sponsored charity event where I scream abuse at Cardiff Castle until I ’ m arrested or it retaliates , this has been cancelled due to copyright infringement on a show Channel 4 are launching
