Epic Duran Duran Tickets
The English New Wave band Duran Duran formed in Birmingham in 1978 and became one of the most successful bands of the 1980s. Since then, they have placed 14 singles in the Top 10 of the UK singles chart and 21 in the Billboard Hot 100 and have sold more than 100 million records.

Thailand: Tourism and the Truth – Stacey Dooley Investigates (BBC3)
The Luton shop assistant turned investigator of human rights abuse is getting beneath the gloss of the glossy holiday brochure on the holiday island of Phuket. What she finds really isn't nice – brutal working conditions, Mickey Mouse wages, rats. And locals being forced away from the homes they've always lived in by the inexorable spread of tourism.
The brilliant thing about Stacey is she doesn't stop at the expose; she then sets about making it right. So she sets up a meeting with the hotel management to try to improve workers' conditions, and with the prime minister of Thailand, to save some sea gypsies. OK, so the PM doesn't show up, but his deputy does, and promises to save the sea gypsies. Stacy has got to see Thailand's Nick Clegg, and got a promise out of him. Let's hope he's better at sticking to them than his British counterpart.
The lovely thing about Stacey is that she's so incredibly nice to everyone and polite. She's my new journalism idol; John Pilger, you are so over.

Ed - Looks like more bad news for the Thai tourist industry.

Dictator Gaddafi's forces retake small town Bin Jawad in Libya
Al Jazeera's Hoda-Abdel Hamid, on the road leading east from Ras Lanuf, reported that explosions had also occured in that town on Tuesday, which opposition freedom fighters had earlier retreated to from Bin Jawad. "So certainly what we can say at this stage is that Bin Jawad is not any more in the hands of the freedom figters, actually the Gaddafi forces now are managing to pound Ras Lanuf and are getting closer and closer to them, pushing the opposition freedom fighters eastwards more and more," she said.
"I think this is an exact repeat of what happened about three weeks ago."Pro-Gaddafi forces were mostly using mortars and artillery, as opposed to the tanks and airstrikes of early advances, she said
"The Gaddafi guys hit us with Grads [rockets] and they came round our flanks," Ashraf Mohammed, a 28-year-old freedom fighter wearing a bandolier of bullets, told a reporter from the Reuters news agency at the front.
Also on Tuesday, several explosions were heard in the capital, Tripoli, but it was unclear as to where exactly they occured.
The Pentagon said that international forces had launched 22 Tomahawk cruise missiles and flew 115 strike sorties over Libya in the last 24 hours.
The reversal for Libya's nascent opposition came after their forces had made a speedy, two-day advance from Ajdabiya. So currently both parties are finding it difficult to hold on to the land they have taken control of as things shifts in both directions with in short periods of time.
