The return of the World's Worst Gatcha

Do you remember when SL banned Spinning Wheels throughout the kingdom?

Well the great news is that Gatcha's are now 'legal' again, so long as the content isn't transferable.  There is more to it than that, but essentially that is what it boils down to.  See the Lab's story here

Back when they were outlawed we had to remove the World's Worst Gatcha from London City to comply with new rules, much to the disappointment of many people who enjoyed playing the machine to see what awful accessory it gave you.

We're really pleased to announce that it is back and in the hub and waiting for you to abuse it.

Every prize is a stinker, guaranteed!

New Show: Meatloaf on Saturday

A brand new show for you this Saturday at Party in the Park: Meatloaf

Meat Loaf was an American singer and actor. He was known for his powerful, wide-ranging voice and theatrical live shows. His Bat Out of Hell album has sold more than 100 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time. 

Party in the Park starts at 12pm SL time (8pm UK) with the Concert at 1pm SL.

Blondie on Saturday

It's the return of the Saturday Concerts, starting this Saturday at 12pm SL time (8pn UK)

Forty years ago (at least), waitress Debbie Harry, who had been performing part-time in a folk band, formed Blondie with her friend Chris Stein.

In 1976 they released their first album Blondie and from then on became a huge success in Australia, England and America.

Although the bulk of their hits were in a relatively short timespan from 1978 to 1981, their most successful release, Maria was not until the band reformed, many years later in 1999.

Now regularly touring again, you can enjoy the hits once more at The Blondie Tribute Concert, this Saturday in London City.  The party begins at  12pm SL (8pm UK) with the show an hour later at 1pm SL.

Bank Holiday Weekend

London City Gateway

It is another Bank Holiday weekend here in Old Blighty.  

Congratulations to those of you who 'manoeuvred' early and got Friday tagged on, giving you four days of rest and relaxation.

Please drink irresponsibly, since sobriety is strictly prohibited.

Hurricane Season UK

Poor Blighty is gripped in a storm front today. 

The UK famously does not acknowledge any storm as a hurricane until it has been and gone, but as storms go, this is a big one and will last until Saturday evening.

Fear not, London City in Second Life is still spring like, with only the odd 100mph winds gusting through.  

Our team are mostly in their bunkers with tinned spam left over the from pandemic, a torch and a flask of cocoa.

Rougher than Stormy Daniels

We will see you today at 1pm SL, as Madame Bailey, trooper that she is, will appear on stage at Lala's looking like she has been dragged through a hedge backwards.

Voting us underway in the Poll of The Century!

Even though it is just for fun, some people seem to think this voting poll will have a real effect on the outcome of the forthcoming General Election.  

Of course we stirred the pot by asking "Which Idiot Next..", it's how we get your attention.

Please come and vote and try not to rig it if at all possible,  the former president will no doubt be monitoring this and logging on his alts anyway.   

Be polite if you see any strange orange avatars hanging around the voting area saying it was stolen.   Just smile and politely back away.
