Congratulations to all the lucky FCLers who got their hands on tickets to see the Spice Girls at the O2. Tickets which, apparently, sold out in 38 seconds. It’s always nice to see a lottery where even the winners are losers. So, today’s question of the day is this: what is the single best gig you̵...

Thank God, or some other deity, it’s Friday. We feel like blowing off a little steam. And if there’s one thing that washes away the putrid stench of the workaday world, it’s swinging. No, not that kind of swinging, you fiend. Swinging in a playground, of course. The problem is that hanging around elementary school p...

Now that darkness is upon us for another six months, what activities can you recommend to help your fellow citizen cope with another rotten London winter? Obviously there’s ice skating at Somerset House and other venues across the city, but that’s not for another three weeks or so yet, and you can’t go ice skating e...

In the words of the popular song, ‘Some things in life are bad. They can really make you mad. Other things just make you swear and curse. When you’re chewing on life’s gristle, don’t grumble, give Mr Madiba a call….’ Now if you don’t know of Mr Madiba, then you obviously haven’t been in London v...

Further to today’s Radar post, are you annoyed by beaming Amy and her surgically augmented chest… ...or do you quite like her? And what’s your opinion of Kirstin Smith’s stickering campaign? Is defacing ads such as this the way forward? What other slogans might you like to see going up over irritating o...

Banksy and the removal of his work has been discussed before on Fridaycities, more than once. But an article in the Independent this week refers to the removal of a couple of ‘pieces’ in particular – a rioter and a rat. Here’s the rat here: It’s not his best work by a long chalk, but tell us: why is Hac...

Further to today’s Radar post, what are your thoughts on the state visit of the King of Saudi Arabia? Are you really really pleased? Or would you like to see a small child halt the regal procession by jumping out in front of the gilded carriage, pointing a finger at the king and shouting, ‘But he hasn’t got any mora...

The first five pages of today’s Metro were devoted to yesterday’s ruling in the Jean Charles de Menezes case, and the fact that the Met were found guilty of endangering the public, one member of the public in particular. What caught our attention however, was this tiny piece of editorial on page 5: ‘Mr de Menez...

We were reminded of this age-old dilemma whilst reading the tragic tale of this young lady, a Jehovah’s Witness who may or may not have died because of refusing a blood transfusion, and we thought we’d put it to the test. So imagine the scene: you’ve just left the last tube in some underground station or other an...

A few weeks ago in Wigan two PSCOs failed to act to save a 10-year-old boy from drowning (even though the chances are he was already drowned when they got there). Their excuse was that they didn’t have the correct powers or training. The poofs. Meanwhile, this week in Morden another two PSCOs ‘looked on’ as a ga...

Today, as you may or may not be aware, is National Stress Awareness Day, the one day of the year when thinking about how stressed you are – although not necessarily talking about it – is actively encouraged. Think about it, evaluate it and vanquish it. Because if you don’t, it’s going to kill you. Thankfully, the...

From last night’s londonpaper: ‘Being male, we are conscious that we are not living in great times. But 7/7 showed that greatness is living in Londoners. We live in petty, decadent times where we don’t know how lucky we are, but 7/7 brought it out. Dr Johnson once said, “There comes a time in every man’s life when...
