“ A decor which echoes the family feel with a touch of
decadence”

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

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

“ 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

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
