Come this time of year, I usually am looking for spooky stuff to do and maybe even recommend some Halloween related activities to this blog’s readers. This year though, life seems frightful enough.
Review | Antrum: The Deadliest Film Ever Made?
Can a film cause harm – or even death – to someone who watches it?
Antrum: The Deadliest Film Ever Made is a feature length film (purportedly) shot in the late 70s that is said to be cursed, with extremely bad stuff happening to anybody brave/stupid enough to watch. So what happened when I (bravely/stupidly?) decided to take a gander?

Eat Slow This Autumn with Buffalicious
Demi Perera acquires a taste for buffalo reared in Somerset.
If the last few months have taught us anything it’s the importance of supporting small businesses in our communities. As we entered mild panic about food shortages and insecurity caused by the pandemic took hold we turned to local shops and small vendors for our food. Simply trusting them to feed us better, faster and safer in our time of need.

What Can You Do Now That London Underground is Finally Getting 4G?
https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1542779867-df548aa44f1c?ixlib=rb-1.2.1&auto=format&fit=crop&w=1050&q=80 >>> Photo
For some people, being stuck several feet underground without air conditioning or any shred of personal space is not the most enjoyable way to spend the morning. For others, being on the London Underground is blissful because it’s one of the few places left where it’s possible to switch off from the rest of the world as there’s no way for people from the outside getting in contact.
That’s all changing though. Transport for London is rolling out 4G mobile connections to the underground tunnels of the tube network. Regular commuters and visitors have been confused and frustrated by the lack of connectivity for decades, particularly since other major international cities have had WiFi or mobile data installed on their metro systems for years.
Now that you can access the internet from underneath London’s clay, what exciting things can you do?

3 Reasons to Protect Your Dream Trip With Insurance
International travel is exciting. As an experienced traveler, you organize every detail, from securing transportation to finding the best restaurants and showing off the pictures after you return. But what about when you travel closer to home?
It’s easy to forget that Mexico and Canada count as international travel because you don’t fly over an ocean, and the flight can sometimes be shorter than a transcontinental domestic flight. That’s why it’s important to remember to get travel insurance for visitors to Canada and Mexico as part of your trip preparation.

Choosing Hotels Near Wembley Stadium
For fans of sports and all sorts of other major events, a visit to Central London must include a trip to the famous Wembley Stadium and the nearby Wembley Arena or the SSE Arena.
While the Wembley Stadium is the second biggest in Europe and hosts several major sporting events, the indoor arena, is famous for music concerts, comedy shows, family entertainment and sports activities. With a seating capacity of over 12,000 people, the Wembley Arena is the second-largest in London and the 9th largest in the United Kingdom. The best way to catch the activities here is to look for budget hotels near Wembley Arena London. The County Hotel, located close to several train stations, offers easy access to the Wembley area including the stadium and the arena.

Connection Privée | #TCTalks 78
One good thing about life under lockdown is that it’s allowed me to help a friend launch her own podcast. I’m impressed with how well she’s doing with it. So I thought, I’d share the first episode here for you to enjoy.
The show is called Connection Privée. It’s hosted by Clemence de Crecy, CEO and founder of Clementine Communications, and is all about the importance of networking and human connection. The first episode – which you can listen to here as the latest episode of tikichris Talks – features a conversation with Clem and a longtime acquaintance, yours truly.
From the first show released 17 April, Clem’s gone on to air two more shows, with a few more “in the can” and even more slated to be recorded soon!
