Imagine a society where the surreal was normal. A place where people could live in singing trees. A world where your name was an animal and a plant, where family units were structured around collective houses and where you worship in the massive underground Temples of Humankind. Welcome to the Federation of Damanhur.
As one of the largest communes in the world, Damanhur has over 1000 members, and boasts its own police force, newspaper, education system and currency. Spiritually it is just as ambitious and the religious philosophies they have developed form a large part of Damanhurian life. I came here to find out if this really was utopia.Imagine a society where the surreal was normal. A place where people could live in... more

Now with the clock ticking, hairlines receding and no decent 'careers' on the horizon the guys question their future, priorities and sanity as they play another gig to 17 year old kids in a local Scout Hut.
Is the lucky break around the corner? Or are they really destined to a life of manual labour digging holes on building sites?A glimpse into the chaotic, unfortunate and obscure world of '10 year' old rock band... more

Recently it was discovered that the tallest building in the world - the Burj Dubai - had been the scene for a world record (and highly illegal) BASE jump. 1 British man attempted the jump and was successful, while a second man, a Frenchman, was caught before he could jump. They were both arrested and held in Dubai.
What is not known to either the authorities or the world in general, is that 2 men had already succeeded in climbing the tower and base jumping from it without being caught: another Brit and the same Frenchman who was later caught attempting a second jump. They were the first and have gone down as legends in their sport, for claiming the latest jewel in the crown of the sport. This is the story of that jump.Recently it was discovered that the tallest building in the world - the Burj Dubai -... more
