Inspired by quandary of where to go on a date, but generally interested in exploring more of the capital. So - anything of the 'Secret London' type, prob excluding pubs, music venues and restaurants, cos there are threads for these already. My votes off the top of my head: Cable Street mural...

Anyone been tot his before? Interested in hearing about the vibe, cos the UK festivals I've been to before have frequently been much less friendly than the ones I've been to abroad - lots of tiresome hipsters and beer-fuelled testoterony, you know the drill. Hoping this will be different....

Who's going? I can't cos I'm out of the country, but I hear figures of 300,000 being mooted.

Does anyone have any recs on where to look to get cheap apartments for 7-8 people in Barcelona for five days? I usually use booking.com, which has amazing cheap offers, but this seems less useful when looking for places for more than 4 people...

Does anyone know of any events going on in London on April 29, or whenever it is, to counter the unholy tedium of the awfulness that will be the royal wedding?

Have to organise something for work at minimal cost. Does anyone know of any really good venues in London (could be a pub, could be whatever) that would take around 100 people, and which, for whatever reason (eg pubs make money off the bar) would charge next to nothing for hire? I work for a...

Don't know if such a thread already exists - please transfer if it does. So this is the place for your dullest questions about exercise. Mine is about kettlebells - if I use dumbbells between 14 and 16 kg for lots of exercises, what weight kettlebells should I be going for? I have no idea of...

#1 - If a friend has their wedding (for no discernible reason) in an apparently random and faraway city in the middle of the week, do I have to go? Or have they just succumbed to wedding madness?

This is one of the weirdest things in life. You're going about your everyday life, and then someone in the top ten of last people you ever expect to hear from gets in contact with you, and you're (often) knocked seriously off-balance. I've just had this happen this morning, and it seems like...

Hi, was wondering if anyone here has been in therapy or analysis (guess this is the US word)? I am at the moment, and am also interested to know if there're any online resources around with people's experiences of it, that people might know of? Certain things are very confusing, and that Woody...

Sorry.

Wtf is going on here? They're treating this guy Coke like he's Escobar, though no-one I know has ever heard of him before. Does anyone know the backstory of the pressure put on Jamaica by the US? Has Britain (which takes an interest in ex-colonial 'possessions' whenever it suits it) even made a...

Is it possible to be friends with one's ex(es) in a healthy manner, or is it just the slow route to madness? Discuss.
