Budget travel to London can be achieved with careful planning and smart choices. Staying in budget hotels like Easy Hotel can save money on accommodation. Many of London's top museums and attractions are free to visit. Using public transportation like the Tube and buses is cost-effective for getting around London. Eating at fast food chains or local takeaways can help maintain a budget for meals. Look for set menu options at restaurants for affordable dining experiences. Discount tickets for West End shows can be found at the TKTS desk in Leicester Square. Exploring local grocery stores for breakfast and snacks can save money. Independent used bookstores offer affordable options for book lovers in London. Sound Bites "The next goal is 300 members. And if we reach the target of 300 members, we will remove the Google ads from Londontopia.net our sister website dedicated to all things London, which has been around almost as long as Anglotopia has." "You can do so for the cost of two cups of tea. It's six dollars a month and you get billed every month on the first or you can save 10% by subscribing for the year. It's $64 for the year." "$200 a day is a lot and I think that's not that's more of mid-range than budget. So I set out in my mind to to lay out a trip to see if you could do it on $100 a day." "Just because you want to do it on a budget or do it on the cheap doesn't mean you're going to have a bad time. Does it mean that you can't enjoy London, London at its best? London is such a great city that there's so much to see and do that's completely free." "My recommendation is to stay in one of the cheapest possible chain hotels that is on the market. And it's called the Easy Hotel." "You know, even as a 41 year old man who is used to staying in nicer hotels at this age, I'd still consider the easy hotel, especially if I was on a tight budget." "This is actually a really easy way to save money because a lot of London's big museums are actually completely free." "There is plenty to see and do without doing the special exhibitions. There's, you know, at least I want to say I haven't done an exact count recently, but there's at least 100 museums in London that are completely free." "It doesn't cost anything to sit in Trafalgar Square and people watch and watch the fountains and the let the world go by or to stand in Parliament Square and wait for Big Ben to chime, or to walk along the Thames South Bank and watch London go by." "As long as you have an Oyster card or you do contact lists, you're never going to pay more than the max daily tube fare, which is eight pounds 90, which is about ten dollars." "In addition to the tube, a much cheaper option is the London's bus network. That's what people use every day to commute because the max pay as you go fare for the buses is only £1.75, which is about $2." "Since there's no tipping in Britain, the price you pay for the set course dinner is the price you pay for the meal." "My travel hack is to go to the TKTS desk in Leicester Square and that's for same day ticket discounts. Most of the London theaters kind of participate in this."

In the film, four misfits are pulled through a portal into a cubic world that thrives on imagination, having no choice but to master the world while embarking on a quest with an expert crafter named Steve.Plans for a Minecraft film adaptation originated in 2014, when game creator Markus Persson revealed that Mojang was in talks with Warner Bros. Pictures to develop the project. Throughout its development, A Minecraft Movie shifted between several directors, producers, and story drafts. By 2022, Legendary Entertainment became involved, and Hess was hired as director with Momoa in talks to star. Further casting took place from May 2023 to January 2024. Principal photography began later that month in New Zealand and concluded in April 2024. Mark Mothersbaugh composed the score, and Sony Pictures Imageworks, Wētā FX, and Digital Domain provided the films visual effects.A Minecraft Movie had its world premiere at Empire, Leicester Square in London on March 30, 2025, and was theatrically released in the United States on April 4.

814 - Ramadan islamico o quaresima cristiana?

Analisi e commenti | RRL

Sul “Corriere della Sera” del 13 marzo 2025 leggiamo un reportage dall'Inghilterra del giornalista Luigi Ippolito che scrive questo: “A Londra il Ramadan sembra aver soppiantato la Quaresima: quest'anno i due periodi di digiuno e penitenza praticamente coincidono, ma tutta l'attenzione appare focalizzata sulla ricorrenza musulmana. Nei grandi supermercati ci sono pubblicità che annunciano «Sei pronto per il Ramadan?», Harrod's sul suo sito propone cene per l'Iftar, il banchetto dopo il tramonto che spezza il digiuno, le catene di fast food offrono sconti, i parrucchieri stanno aperti fino a tardi per agevolare la clientela musulmana”. Non basta: nella capitale britannica sono state accese le “Luci del Ramadan” a Coventry Street, mentre nella centralissima Leicester Square c'è una installazione luminosa interattiva che vuole simboleggiare lo “spirito del Ramadan”.  L'islamizzazione europea avanza dunque indisturbata, come un'onda silenziosa. Da una parte si reclama di togliere dalle scuole il presepio o i canti di Natale, per non urtare la sensibilità dei non cattolici, ma nessuno si sognerebbe di chiedere la rimozione delle luminarie del Ramadan.  L'ostentazione del Ramadan da parte dei musulmani ci aiuta a capire la differenza con la nostra Quaresima, che non ha bisogno di luminarie, perché è uno spirito interiore. L'Islam invece si presenta come una religione rituale, che si limita a esigere dai propri appartenenti il rispetto dei cosiddetti cinque pilastri: l'affermazione verbale del monoteismo, la recita delle preghiere prescritte, il viaggio una volta nella vita alla Mecca, l'elemosina rituale e quello che è l'aspetto più noto: il digiuno del Ramadan. Una volta adempiuti questi obblighi esteriori, il musulmano è libero di immergersi nel piacere. Il digiuno del Ramadan non è penitenza, è ritualismo. Si digiuna per otto ore e si mangia a volontà nelle otto ore successive. Ciò sarebbe inconcepibile per un cristiano a cui nella Quaresima non viene richiesto di osservare dei semplici riti, ma di vivere in spirito di penitenza. Per questo Gesù stigmatizza  l'atteggiamento dei farisei, i quali osservavano con scrupolo le prescrizioni rituali imposte dalla legge, ma avendo il cuore lontano da Dio.   Nell'Islam non c'è spirito di penitenza perché non c'è spirito di sacrificio. E non c'è spirito di sacrificio perché l'Islam ignora, anzi respinge, quel sacrificio della Croce che san Paolo definisce “scandalo per i Giudei, stoltezza per i pagani”. (1 Corinzi 1, 22-23). L'Islam può essere definito una “religione del piacere”: non solo perché ignora il sacrificio, ma perché sostituisce nel Paradiso al concetto cristiano di felicità eterna quello di eterno piacere, di infinita voluttà. Il paradiso islamico, prevede innanzitutto le gioie dei sensi: banchetti squisiti, accompagnati da vini prelibati; gioie carnali con le sempre vergini a disposizione degli Eletti.  Il Papa Pio II, in una celebre lettera scritta nel 1461 al sultano Maometto il conquistatore, lo ammoniva con queste parole: nella vita eterna “la nostra felicità corrisponde alla parte più nobile del corpo, l'anima; la vostra  alla più vile, il corpo. La nostra felicità è intellettuale, la vostra  materiale. (…) La nostra è comune agli angeli e allo stesso Dio, la tua ai porci e agli animali bruti”.Proprio per questo edonismo, l'Islam può esercitare un'attrazione sui giovani secolarizzati d'Occidente. I giovani occidentali, come ogni uomo, aspirano al sacro, all'assoluto, ma sono corrotti dal relativismo, incapaci di sacrificio. L'Islam offre loro una religione che presenta un surrogato di sacro, senza chiedere nessun sacrificio reale. Ma la chiave del successo dell'Islam sta anche nell'appoggio finanziario che riceve  dall'OCI, la Conferenza Internazionale Islamica, che raccoglie 58 Paesi musulmani e da alcune delle nazioni più ricche della terra, come l'Arabia Saudita. Per questa ragione abbiamo trovato inquietante che l'11 marzo scorso le delegazioni degli Stati Uniti e dell'Ucraina si siano incontrate per discutere sulla possibilità di una pace, proprio a Gedda in Arabia Saudita. Le fotografie e i video mostrano, al tavolo delle trattative, tra le due delegazioni, quasi come due convitati di pietra, i rappresentanti dell'Arabia Saudita, un paese che finanzia l'espansione dell'Islam nel mondo.L'Islam è una religione totalitaria che si propone la conquista del mondo e l'Arabia Saudita, dopo aver investito per decenni in moschee, oggi investe nelle università occidentali per cambiarne le idee. Lo abbiamo ricordato su Corrispondenza Romana: https://www.corrispondenzaromana.it/universitari-inginocchiati-ad-allah-lalleanza-tra-islam-e-ideologia-woke/Negli Stati Uniti una vasta protesta a favore dei terroristi di Hamas ha coinvolto prestigiosi atenei, come la California University, Harvard, Yale e Columbia.  Una delle ragioni di questo allineamento di una cospicua parte di studenti e di docenti delle università americane alle parole d'ordine dell'Islam radicale sta nel fatto che le principali università americane ricevono massicci finanziamenti da Fondi islamici, in particolare dall'Arabia Saudita, dal Qatar e dagli Emirati.  Questo denaro, fluisce verso tutti i tipi di scuole americane private e pubbliche. In America, come in Europa, i finanziamenti non sono a fondo perduto, ma legati alla creazione di centri di studi, corsi di laurea e master dedicati alla promozione della cultura islamica e all'assunzione di docenti favorevoli alla religione di Allah, che viene praticata in moschee costruite negli immediati dintorni delle università. La celebrazione del Ramadan è un'espressione di questa cultura, antitetica a quella occidentale e cristiana. E la resistenza a questa offensiva anticristiana, non si può certo ridurre al controllo, pur necessario, dei flussi migratori, ma è soprattutto culturale e spirituale.Non è troppo tardi. Contro l'Islam che ci aggredisce facciamo nostre le parole che rivolgeva Pio II al sultano musulmano. Il Papa ricordava al “conquistatore” che nella storia è accaduto che un piccolo esercito cristiano riuscisse a sbaragliare il ben più forte esercito ottomano, solo grazie a un aiuto straordinario di Dio. Ciò non è mai accaduto per l'Islam. L'Islam può vincere con la forza del numero, delle armi o del danaro, ma non ha dalla sua il miracolo, l'intervento di Dio, che in qualsiasi momento è capace di capovolgere quelli che sembrano i destini irreversibili della storia.

(Spoiler: "Pivot" is mentioned... reluctantly.)The Power of Saying Yes – How a residency deal turned into a rapidly growing bar brand.Future-Proofing Your Business – Why Tim doubled down on a second location early on.The Art of Customer Experience – From London's tiniest bar to a casino collaboration, making guests feel at home is everything.Handling Chaos Like a Pro – Lessons from opening a bar in three days, fighting fires (literally), and dealing with late-night Camden crowds.Fun Moments:The creative way Tim once "gently" persuaded a rowdy crowd to leave his venue. (Hint: Music choices matter!)The time a neighbouring building caught fire, and Tim had to empty the bar's safe and grab some beers… just in case.How opening a bar inside a casino required a surprising amount of explanation to customers.Memorable Quotes from the episode:“No one has ever had a fight with Britney Spears playing in the background.”“Everything only ever makes sense in retrospect.”“I called in every possible favour… and then we had a three-day turnaround to open a bar.”“If you tell yourself this is going to be a chapter in the autobiography, you can push through the pain.”“I've developed an almost religious relationship with coffee.”“Most things are set up to be manageable—otherwise, businesses wouldn't survive.”“The best problem-solvers have just a tinge of arrogance—the refusal to accept there's something they can't do.”“You can find ways to make people feel unwelcome without being unwelcoming.”This chat is totally brimmed with lessons and stories and I hope you enjoy!The GuestTim is a British/Australian Bar manager who's been working across London venues for the past 9 years. Since 2023, he's been the owner of Dovetail Bars Ltd, a company that operates bar residencies for venues that have difficulty executing bar concepts in a post-Covid and Brexit space.https://dovetailbars.co.uk/Instagram - @dovetailbarsShow PartnersA big shout out to Today's show partner, RotaCloud, the people management platform for shift-based teams.RotaCloud lets managers create and share rotas, record attendance, and manage annual leave in minutes — all from a single, web-based app.It makes work simple for your team, too, allowing them to check their rotas, request holiday, and even pick up extra shifts straight from their phones.Try RotaCloud's time-saving tools today by heading to https://rotacloud.com/philThis podcast uses the...

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 4ú lá de mí na Samhna, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1980 bhuaigh Ronald Regan an toghchán don Uachtarán Meiriceá. Bhí sé i gcoinne uachtarán daonlathach Jimmy Carter. I 2001 tháinig Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone amach agus bhí an seoladh ar siúil san Odeon i Leicester Square i Londain. Bhí an phictiúrlann tionscanta mar Hogwarts. I 1967 bhí an Clár fós ag ceiliúradh tar éis a tháinig bean ó Quin Mrs. B. Ryan sa cheathrú háit sa Uile – Éireannach Craobhchomórtas Treabhadh i gCeatharlach. I 1980 bhí tuaisceart an Clár buailte le spéirling agus fuarlach báistí. Seo an bháisteach is troime a bhí ag an chontae riamh mar go raibh a lán damáiste déanta sa chontae agus bhí tuile fhorleathan ann. Bhí an damáiste déanta chuig Ardnaculla agus Inis Díomáin. Sin Mary J Blige le Family Affair – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo i 2001. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht ceoil ón lá seo – i 1997 sheol Shania Twain a albam Come on Over. Bhí 12 singil san albam cosúil le – You're Still The One, From This Moment, That Don't Impress Me Much agus Man I Fee Like A Woman. I 2013 – chuaigh Rihanna isteach sa ghrúpa le The Beatles agus Elvis Presley mar amhránaí le hamhrán is mó seacht n-uaire i seacht mbliana. Chuaigh a amhrán The Monster le Eminem chuig uimhir a haon an bhliain sin. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla inniu ná Kathy Griffin a rugadh an lá seo i 1960 i Illinois agus is aisteoir í.

Everybody sing *poooddccasssstttttt* Hello and welcome to The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X Podcast! Chris and the team are taking a well-earned break this week but don't worry, you're in safe hands with trusty Toby Tarrant. Toby kicked off the week with a massive announcement about his ‘Tarrant vs The Thames' challenge, in aid of Global's Make Some Noise. He'll be travelling 56 miles down the river in true style: in a giant unicorn pedalo. The challenge will take place in October and Toby would be thrilled with any support or donations you can give. Toby was joined by some fabulous guests this week. Firstly, Teri Hatcher, aka Lois Lane, brought glamour and giggles, telling us all about how the spooky movie ‘Coraline' is returning to cinemas in 3D this August. Next, TV adventurer Aldo Kane made his most daring expedition yet to the Leicester Square studios, telling Toby all about the mental trails of exploring, as well as the importance of anti-chafing creams. Then, national treasure Mel Giedroyc met Toby for the first time, and agreed to join Toby on his pedalo challenge. Finally, comedian Maisie Adam made a last minute visit and, without knowing what she was in for, got roped into playing a quiz with the team. Speaking of quizzes, Toby turned the studio into his own house of games this week, with the return of Stumpy's Quiz, as well as two new games: Intern Bella's ‘Squeak, Squeal, Squawk' and Producer Harry's ‘Rock n Roll Games Console'.

Send us a Text Message.I have put this short podcast together on Wednesday evening, a couple of days since an incident in Leicester Square which saw a young girl randomly stabbed. The 11 year old girl was visiting from Australia and is still in hospital. It is a bit of a rant against the state of the UK so probably best to give it a miss. It has been written and posted in the space of an afternoon so as you can imagine it is not a professionally produced podcast. I wanted to post another podcast after the one I made about the Southport stabbings which was what was known about the incident two days later; so I have attempted to do the same here. This incident will be quickly forgotton by most but it seems quite worrying to me that such an incident can happen against a tourist in Central London. To me it is a sympthon that something is wrong in the UK. The next podcast will back to what I usually post. I just felt I needed to make a comment about stabbings against young children in the summer of 2024.

//The Wire//2230Z August 12, 2024////ROUTINE////BLUF: KURSK OFFENSIVE CONTINUES. UNREST IN U.K. REMAINS CONSTANT. WESTERN POWERS CONTINUE TO ESCALATE TENSIONS IN MIDDLE EAST.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Eastern Europe: A fire broke out at Zaporizhzhia NPP in central Ukraine over the weekend, prompting much confusion about the incident. Russian forces claim the fire was the result of Ukrainian shelling, whereas Ukrainians claim that Russian soldiers set fire to a pile of rubber tires underneath one of the cooling towers. AC: Neither side has provided evidence of their claims, though the fire has since been extinguished. Personnel at the IAEA did note that they received a report of a drone attack on the facility, but that “no impact has been reported for nuclear safety”.In Russia, the Kursk offensive continues as before, with neither Ukraine nor Russia providing much concrete data with which to determine front line positions. AC: While the current front line remains debatable, what is far more clear is that Ukrainian units (of debatable size, composition, and combat power) almost certainly have more freedom of maneuver within Russia's rear areas than Russian forces would like to admit. Conversely, the forces dedicated to such a large offensive results in questions related to the other fronts, which have largely been locked in stalemate for many months.Western Europe: The European Union has written a public letter to Elon Musk, personally threatening him and his company (Twitter/X) with legal consequences for any offensive content that might arise from Donald Trump during his upcoming interview on the platform.United Kingdom: Unrest and violence continues as before. Yesterday, a stabbing attack occurred in Leicester Square wounding a woman and an 11-year-old girl. The assailant was detained at the scene. Police have not released any images of the attacker.Middle East: Preparations for a widening war continue to be made by all parties, despite widening (and contradictory) assessments regarding Iran's potential counterattack. Hezbollah conducted a few rocket attacks over the weekend, continuing the trend of harassing fires. -HomeFront-Washington D.C. - Pentagon statements over the weekend confirmed an increased level of forces within the Middle East. SECDEF Austin has ordered the USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN CSG to make all sail for the CENTCOM AOR, making haste for the transit to the eastern Mediterranean Sea. The Pentagon has also ordered the USS GEORGIA (SSGN 729) to the region. These forces compliment the USS WASP ARG (currently in port Cyprus).-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Though an interview with a politician is something that ordinarily would be squarely within the political realm, an exceptionally large international organization such as the EU becoming involved in a minor interview highlights the priorities that some European nations place on censorship and limiting access to information.In Russia, much confusion and contradiction remains in Kursk. As the Ukrainian advance largely was conducted with light reconnaissance units in lightly-armored vehicles, Ukrainian forces have been spotted deep in Russian territory (possibly as far north as Semenovka). However, the real concentration of Ukrainian forces is largely still located within a few kilometers of the border. This is a major factor contributing to contradictory reports: Certain Ukrainian units can claim that they are in a certain location, but due to only being a light recon force, they have no ability to hold that position. Conversely, Russian forces can ignore recon elements in their press briefings (or even more deceptively, label larger armored columns as “recon” units), so as to downplay the threat. Though there is some strategic value in choosing to focus on the main axis of advance instead of highlightin

A man has been arrested after a stabbing in London's Leicester Square that's left an 11-year-old girl needing hospital treatment, and a 34-year-old woman with minor injuries.  Police aren't treating the incident as terror-related.  UK police forces remain on high alert after days of riots earlier this month, which were triggered by online posts wrongly identifying a suspected killer of three girls in northern England as an Islamist migrant.  UK Correspondent Rod Liddle told Mike Hosking that immediately after the attack, the right came online saying that it's happened again and that they're up to no good.  He said that there's no evidence whatsoever that the attacker was Muslim, however there is a fair bit of evidence that the person who stopped the attack and took the knife off of him was.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We learn about his friendships with Zandra Rhodes, Vivienne Westwood, Derek Jarman and his recent collaboration with Stella McCartney for her Paris catwalk show.Logan (b. 1945) belongs to a unique school of English eccentrics. One of Britain's principal sculptural artists, he challenges convention, mixes media and plays with our artistic values. Since its beginnings, Logan's work has depended on the inventive use of whatever was to hand. With flair and fantasy he transformed real objects into their new and different versions. His artistic world includes fauna, flora, planets and gods. His love of travel provides the bases for several series of work.Born in Oxford in 1945, he qualified in architecture in the late 1960s and has worked across the fields of sculpture, stage design, drama, opera, parades, festivals and interior design. To him, “Art can be discovered anywhere.”Logan crosses cultures and embodies artistic fantasy in a unique and unprecedented way. His work is the art of popular poetry and metropolitan glamour.

He “experienced Flower Power” in America in 1967. Did a hologram course at Goldsmiths' College, 1982. Logan was noted for projects carried out with a showbiz flair, who to some dressed weirdly, producing camp sculptures, costumes and jewellery out of mirror and lurid plastic, but who was undeniably dedicated and persistent. He said that his aim was “to bring joy and happiness to the world”.Logan was most famous as the inventor and impresario of The Alternative Miss World, which began in 1972, the series continuing periodically at various venues. The first showing of the film The Alternative Miss World was held at the Odeon, Leicester Square, 1979, followed by the Cannes Film Festival, 1980.Follow @AndrewLoganSculptor and his official website: https://www.andrewlogan.com/Logan had his first solo show at New Art Centre, 1973.
