The Lady Boys Of Bangkok are in town again and
would-be ticket-buyers can choose from“ numerous packages( no pun intended!)”. I have some inside info that may shock and appal you. Ready? The pun was actually intended

Telling people you’ re planning a festival guide is the PR equivalent of walking into your local with a bottle of champagne and your winning lottery ticket. Everyone wants a piece of you! Well, we didn’ t just say yes to any old chancers who emailed – these‘ fests’ are relevant to all tastes, ages and social classes from lower middle to upper middle
34film
A movie in which Rihanna is invited to a party before being“ dispatched in gruesome fashion”? Sounds like a guaranteed outrage generator! Let’ s have a look onli... oh wait, we have no broadband. It’ s pretty weird not having instant access to millions of people’ s garbage opinions
36food & drink
Our broadband went down during deadline week and the only access to the internet was borrowing the office next door’ s wireless password. How did editor Gareth use this precious, fleeting resource? Obviously by looking up fish puns to spark a headline for the Pembrokeshire Fish Week piece

Let’ s give a big Austerity Britain hand to The Orb, DJ Bananaman and the woman in the image for Awkward Turtle Flips The Bird, all of whom have saved on expensive photographer’ s fees by taking their own picture

Many will claim that the reason editor Gareth wanted to try out Cardiff International White Water’ s new indoor surfing facilities was that he was tired of getting pushed around by the bronzed, Rip Curl-clad muscle hunks at the beach. Actually, it’ s to protect them from him

We manage to prise Helia Phoenix from the flamenco bars of Seville, that balmy and romantic city in Andalusia, and get her to tell us all about its attractions
59listings
If anything didn’ t make it into these listings there’ s every chance it’ s the fault of our broadband provider, who cut us off for NINE full days( and counting) entirely because of their own incompetence. Who are they, you ask? I’ d rather not give this giant national corporation the oxygen of publicity in our free regional listings monthly
