This is London’s glittering London’s Trafalgar Square this morning at 6.21am, where the sun decided to make a cameo under Nelson’s very own back bottom. In scenes reminiscent of Lars Von Trier’s utterly dreary Melancholia the sun was, like, this far away.
It is also art.
It was all in aid of Tropicana, who are flogging a new drink called Brighter Morning. We’ll be the judge of that.
Andrew Shoben, whose company Greyworld designed the big bulb, said, ‘There are very few moments more spectacular and uplifting than watching an early morning sunrise.’
We’ll be the judge of that.
‘We have tried to capture the evocative nature of this natural phenomenon with the Tropicana Sun,’ Andrew continued to read from the press release.
Who will buy this wonderful morning? Tropicana.
ps. You could fry an egg on that thing. Two.

Picture it, readers. T’was at the John Snow on Broadwick Street in London’s glittering Soho and environs. Have we set the scene for you? Two gentlemen, both male, say they were seen exchanging a kiss. A drunken man apparently asked them to stop and was politely told that he should avert his gaze if he didn’t like it.
Then a lady (well, we say ‘lady’ but you can imagine) is said to have came over and told them they had to leave. They refrained from finding this a very good idea, whereupon (if you’re in the police, you can just take this down in your book, it’s our statement, even though we weren’t there and have an airtight alibi) she is reported to have got someone to come over and touch their collars (we think literally) and get them to leave.
There’s a bit about someone who was a plain clothes policeman or something but we realise you’re busy people. Anyways, the long and the short and the fat and the slim of it is everyone is now going down to said John Snow THIS FRIDAY, 15TH APRIL at 7pm sharp for a gay kiss-in. How excitement! But don’t put money behind the bar or it kind of defeats the object, leading to a bumper take for alleged nasty landpeople.
In an unrelated story, a young man was told to put his Attitude magazine away on a British Airways flight when a ‘family’ complained to the ‘stewardess’. Well, to be fair, it was a pretty raunchy issue of Attitude this month…

Liza’s coming! Everybody hide!
No, not really, though if you do want to go and see her at London’s Royal Albert Hall on Wednesday 29th June at 7.30pm London time, you will have to start turning more tricks, because them ticket prices are through the roof.
We’re not expecting the levels of her post-Cabaret shows but if we could have something a bit more professional than the last time (though we did enjoy the hip-hop section of the evening’s entertainments), then that would be nice. At that price.
