With her comedy partner Joe, Nicko runs the Bad Film Club, a monthly club at the Barbican centre where glorious bad films are watched and laughed at. On Wednesday, the club hosts Jaws: The Revenge (yes, that is the one with a roaring shark who has a personal vendetta). What is this Bad Film Club business all about? It's just a place where likeminded people can gather without shame or the need for explanation......

Well folks, we're going to the moon. And stage one sounds so naff it just has to be British: Britain could soon be going to the moon under plans submitted to the body which funds UK space exploration. A study conducted for the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council outlines bold proposals for two all-British moon missions, said the BBC. The first, named Moonlight, could be launched by 2010 and would see four suitcase-sized......

We have a healthy respect for Jaws, but the likelihood of a Great White swimming down the Thames is about as likely as spotting a whale in that muck. Alligator though... there's a concept we can get in a panic about. We have toilets and sewers in London. With all this radiation knocking about Christ knows what will happen the next time we try to flush an animal down the loo... This kind of......

Bloody typical. The minute that we find something interesting about the new Wembley build and the powers that be are already trying to fix it: Power cables designed to carry up to 4,000 volts at the £757million stadium are being replaced after water leaks... An engineer at the North London site said yesterday: “If there was water in the power supply on match day there would have been a risk of a big explosion.”......

Raleigh's blood flows through our veins. Summer's on it's way and that means a return to our heritage as thousands of us hurl ourselves into the nearest available sailing vessel for floating frolics ahoy. Most will do little more than get a little drunk, drive too fast and scare a few ducks or frighten the fish. But some will come a serious cropper. The RNLI reported an 8% increase in call outs last year,......

There's no way to break this gently: There's a whale in the Thames. Go take photos now. BBC24 are talking about a rescue boat being launched... Update: It's a pilot whale Northern Bottle Nosed whale normally found in deep water so while it's in no immediate danger it does need to be encouraged to pull a Charles Kennedy and wave a fond goodbye to Parliament sooner rather than later. Some bint on Beeb24 just......

Well we've already seen what Londonist thinks about Batman Begins, so now it's time to see what the broadsheets think. "The ultimate hoodie is back," says Pete Bradshaw in the Guardian. Weirdly though, Bradders doesn’t seem to know how to review a Batman film - there are seven (yes, seven) paragraphs of plot description in his review, and that's seven more than we'd like and isn't what we've come to expect from good old......
