06roundup
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
14upfront
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
42previews
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
50reviews
Chris Peach ’ s review of the new Islet single uses an average of 6.8 letters per word . By contrast , a recent British Medical Journal research article on comparative safety and effectiveness of sitagliptin in patients with type 2 diabetes uses a paltry 5.7898293029871977240398293029872
56sport
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
58travel
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

Q . What is Green Man headliner Ben Howard ’ s top 10 album called ? A . The Ethel Merman Disco Album
