Probably anything but...

    Cyclist killed in lorry collision

    Oh dear, another female cyclist has died following a collision with a lorry. There's no good news here, but it's worth pointing out the number of deaths in Greater London has declined dramatically. I think this is the first death in the Greater London area for about 11 months, or it may be the...

    Has London Fallen?

    Just looking for confirmation. The movie poster looks pretty convincing, and Morgan Freeman as positively stately as the Duke of Edinburgh. Looking ahead at the future of this movie franchise, which places would you like to see Fallen, or even Taken, on-screen.
