Up coming events in London 11.20.06

Game On The history of the computer game from the 1960’s to the present day is told at the Science Museum and for £8.50 adults, £6.50 kids you get to play 120 games to your hearts content. My gaming experience began and ended with Space Invaders but if your more into it this show is running until 25 February and the Science Museum is off the Cromwell Road, nearest tube South Kensington.

Flushed Away Premiere The latest Dreamworks movie from the creators of Shrek and Madagascar gets its London debut on Thursday 23 November at the Empire, Leicester Square. Hugh Jackman, Jean Reno, Kate Winslet and Ian McKellan are among the people doing the voices and a few of them will no doubt be along to work the crowd.

The Global Peace & Unity Event and Festival of Life Two events for the religious freaks out there, both on at ExCel London 25/26 and 25 November respectively. The first sounds like a muslim love-in and the second a gathering of Christian weirdos. I guess as long as no one’s getting killed they’re harmless enough. The Global Unity event is £15, Stella on tap.

The Spa Show ‘the ultimate consumer exhibition for spa holidays and resorts, luxury travel, healthy living, pampering and holistic therapies’ or how to get people to pay you a lot of money to smear elephant dung all over them. The pampering I like is someone refilling my beer without asking. This show’s on at Olympia 2 from the 25-26 November, 10am-6pm. Tickets £10 advance, £15 on the door.

London Musicmania A show for anyone selling or buying anything from the music or film world. On at Olympia from Sat 25- Sun 26 November, Sat 8.30am-7pm, Sun 9am-4pm. I think I’ve got a couple of ropey Duran Duran 45’s to flog, maybe this is the place.

George Michael The artist who gave the phrase ‘toilet break’ a whole new meaning plays four nights at Earl’s Court, 25-29 November all shows start at 7.30pm. Have to say I’m surprised he has that many fans.
