TOTAL ECLIPSE
We saw it on the news. I bet it looked amazing if you were in America. There’s a couple who live up the road and they travel all the way around the world following eclipses around. It’s bonkers, but they like it. The Americans dragged Bonnie Tyler out to celebrate, but we all know that It’s a Heartache was a far better song.

SIR BRUCE FORSYTH
He was a marvellous entertainer. It’s a big loss to television in general, but in particular to Strictly Come Dancing. Those two women who present it now are completely useless in comparison. He was a song and dance man in the first place, and he knew exactly what he was doing.

THE RACING ROOM AT THE DRAGON
For the first time in our lives, we had a play with Scalextric. We took all of our staff on a team-building exercise. Matthew won and Joe’s girlfriend came second. We basically came last, but we always played with Hornby train sets as kids and that suited us.

We have a favour to ask

LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots. We want to keep what we do free to all to access, but increasingly we are relying on revenue from our readers to continue. Can you spare a few quid each month to support us?
