Today is the Anniversary of the Admiral Duncan bombing.

  Today we remember 30th April 1999, when a bomb packed with up to 1,500 four-inch nails was detonated in the Admiral Duncan gay pub on Old Compton Street in London. Nik Moore, 31, John Light, 32, and Andrea Dykes, 27, were all killed and a further 79 people were injured in an attack by a neo-Nazi extremist. The man at front in the black and white photo is David Morley (in the dark T-Shirt) who was the assistant manager at the Admiral Duncan and survive the attack, 5 years later he was beaten to death on the embankment by a group of homophobes, next time somebody asks you why we still need pride this is why, as acts like this are still going on around the world. #pride #lgbtq Admiral Duncan Lost Gay London I Went To The Coleherne Kings Arms London

Comedian Rosie Jones goes on a Great British Adventure

  Trip Hazard: My Great British Adventure, Fridays at 8.30pm on Channel 4. Box set available on All 4. Comedian Rosie Jones’ new series had the working title Rosie’s Great British, Female Gay, Disabled, Covid Compliant Adventure, which isn’t exactly snappy but is certainly descriptive. Here she tells us about the show and a bit about life as all the above. Tell us about Trip Hazard: My Great British Adventure and what viewers can expect. It’s about me, who loves travelling, but at the moment I can’t really travel because of the pesky pandemic. So, always an optimist, I reckoned I could have as much of an adventure right here in Britain. So it’s going to places that aren’t necessarily holiday locations - like Norwich - and just finding the best out of that place. It’s full of adventure and positivity, and it’s making the most of this amazing, beautiful country we live in. It’s so joyful to watch, did you enjoy getting out and about in a year when we’ve been so confined? So much. During

restriction on travelling around Scotland is to be lifted from Friday plus...

  The Covid-19 restriction on travelling around Scotland is to be lifted from Friday, while people are to be allowed to meet up in larger groups outdoors. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said measures were being eased earlier than planned to help people's mental health. People will be allowed to meet in groups of up to six adults from six households in outdoor settings. And they will be permitted to travel across Scotland to do so, as long as they do not stay overnight. Other restrictions are expected to be eased from 26 April - with shops, pubs and restaurants likely to reopen on a restricted basis. And Ms Sturgeon said people should be able to meet indoors again from the middle of May.

Adult Mom - Driver ⅘ Album of the Month

  Adult Mom - Driver ⅘ Somewhere in summer, down a dusty road twilight has fallen and the need to illuminate the dusk with music has arisen. Songs to paint a good feeling into the corners of a still night.  Touches of Americana, but with a lifting, lilting tone. Whispering down country roads navigated by google maps on a smartphone, the feel of the traditional, hand in hand with the very now-ness of the 21st century. Looking out the trees are fully green again but sparsely spaced, it just accentuates the openness that surrounds the car, you retreat back into the album that’s flowing from the front seats into the space where you’re stretched out.  Honesty and longing, self aware yet innocent, pained but carefree, this car journey is arduous but still rings with bad jokes and tall tales, confessions and little white lies that disguise a harsher truth not ready to be hatched.  A hand out of the window to feel the cool but dry air pass between your fingers, a sense of motion now on a featu
