- Clubbing It Together!!!
FOR the first time in Liverpool’s history, all of the city’s clubs and DJs1 will come together for one night only to raise money for the early detection of lung cancer.
On September 24 they will be joined by celebrities and internationally recognised DJs who have united to give the city a night to remember.
Held at Club 051 in Mount Pleasant, Clubathon 2004, aims to raise thousands of pounds for The Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation2 - the only organisation in the world wholly dedicated to prevention, research and patient care.
Said Carl Burleigh, Manager of Club 051:- “So many of us know someone who has been affected by lung cancer so we’re hoping the city will get behind us by coming along and supporting this event.
“There is fierce competition between the clubs in Liverpool and this is the first time we have come together to create one big event. There has been immense support from everyone involved and we’re really excited about the night. We’re already discussing Clubathon 2005.”
Doors open 9am and the event will be in full swing until 6am. Admission is £5 or £10 for VIP admission.
- Hollyoaks Stars Take The Tacheback Challenge
THE Hollyoaks stars, Alex Carter, Andrew McNair, and Marcus Patric better known as Lee Hunter, Dan Hunter and Ben Davies look tachetastic as they proudly display their upper lip fuzz to launch this year's TacheBack, run by the Everyman Male Cancer Campaign.
The actors joined an ever-growing army of tache lovers, celebrating the triumphant return of TacheBack! Based on the knowledge that every man has a secret desire to see what he looks like with a tache, the Everyman Campaign is once again asking all men to take the TacheBack challenge this September, grow facial hair and raise vital funds for the charity.
Hundreds of men up and down the country went into facial hair frenzy last September rising over £100,000, which went directly to support research into prostate and testicular cancer at the Everyman male cancer research centre.
Justin Carter, creator of Tacheback and owner of the Elbow Rooms
said:- "Taches are becoming a real growth area and I think all men have a secret desire to know what they would look like with extra facial hair. Here is the best opportunity to grow a tache, become a style icon and raise money for a worthwhile cause."
Everyman was set up by The Institute of Cancer Research in 1997 specifically to raise awareness of and funds for prostate and testicular cancers. All the money raised by this campaign will go directly towards supporting research at Europe's only dedicated male cancer research centre which was set up by The Institute.
Philip Black from the Everyman Campaign said:- "We were delighted with the response to TacheBack last year and hope even more people will come on board in September 2004. It's so easy to take part and helps to raise desperately needed funds for research into testicular and prostate cancer."

- SEXY AND HONEST COOKS IN THE GRANADA REGION
RESULTS of a nationwide survey from Daloon released today reveal people within the Granada TV region have one of the highest ratings nationwide for their love of food and in their passion for kitchen lovemaking.
Some 46 per cent of people surveyed in the region confessed to making love in the kitchen, with a further 32 per cent saying they haven't yet but they are very tempted to give it a go.
Cooking naked, feeding partners blindfolded and getting guests to do the washing up are just a few 'cheeky things' that people owned up to doing in their kitchen.
When asked about their entertaining habits - it seems a large amount of dedicated cooks live in the region with 49 per cent stating they found cooking an enjoyable experience and a further 45 per cent going on to say it was something they like to do as often as possible as they found it helped them relax.
And it seems you have one of the lowest scores in the country for liking to cut corners and cheat when entertaining. Only 5 per cent of you prepared to cheat by buying and cooking frozen food and pretending it is your won.
