ADVANCE WARNING: "BIT OF A DO" AT RVT SUNDAY. TRADING STANDARDS RAID EXPECTED

Word on the street is that the RVT might be raided by Trading Standards this Sunday?  Why? Because their Sunday "Chill-Out" is no such thing.  Apparently folks have repeatedly turned up expecting bean bags and Enya only to find London's hugely talented Jonathon Hellyer has whipped folks into a comedy frenzy - only to be made worse by some of London's funnest DJ talent. 

Jokes aside, it is a chill-out for us as no matter how we feel when we turn up we leave happy and relaxed. If anybody questions that, we expect the Sunday London Action Girls Society will defend the venue with a rear guard action. 

Meet you on the stage;)

VIDEO: LIKE ANYONE ELSE

If you were down and around the RVT on Royal Wedding Day you may have noticed Gavster running around with a film crew.  The crew were women with a movie camera and they were  asking a simple question for their film about gay marriage. 

 

"On the day of the royal wedding questions are raised in the gay heartland of London. In a democratic society shouldn't everyone be allowed to marry?"  Here's what you said...
