Daytime clubbing event coming to Southampton
Day Fever will be hosting an event at the O2 Guildhall on September 13, from 3pm to 8pm.

It has become a cultural sensation and is set for its biggest month yet.
Jon said: "It started as a WhatsApp idea.

Emily Ratajkowski returns to acting in Netflix's "Too Much" after career reset
Model and actress Emily Ratajkowski is back on screen in Netflix's new romantic comedy series "Too Much," created by Lena Dunham and starring Meg Stalter. The 34-year-old star, known for her roles in "Gone Girl," "Entourage," and "I Feel Pretty," plays a character that Dunham specifically wrote with her in mind. The series follows Jess, played by Stalter, who flees to London to start over after a breakup. "She said, 'I wrote this character with you in mind,'" Ratajkowski said of Dunham's pitch. "When you've been friends with somebody for ten years, you've been through a lot together." Ratajkowski had stepped back from acting around 2020, a decision she made during what she described as her "Saturn return." The break coincided with her mother's blood cancer diagnosis before the pandemic. "I decided to take a step back because I didn't love my team," she explained. "I was looking around me, what do I want from my life? I remember where I was when I fired my whole team." During her hiatus, Ratajkowski wrote a book and handled her career independently. She said returning to acting felt natural, especially working with Dunham as her first female director. The series explores themes relevant to millennials navigating their 30s. "I think millennials are in a weird position," Ratajkowski said. "We're not sure how to dress, getting older. Thirty-five means something different now." Her character in "Too Much" deals with feelings of unfulfillment despite outward success, something Ratajkowski said she could relate to from her own experience of being "at the top of my game" when she decided to reassess her priorities. "Sometimes you have to really be honest about what's fulfilling to you personally," she said. Looking ahead, Ratajkowski expressed interest in expanding her role in entertainment beyond modeling and acting. "I always wanted to be on the other side of the camera," she said. "Too Much" is now streaming on Netflix.

Queen given household gift during visit to submarine
The Queen received a birthday gift that helped keep a nuclear-powered submarine at sea when all else failed, clingfilm. Camilla's 78th birthday, celebrated on Thursday, was marked with the presentation of a clingfilm holder from Commander Chris Bate whose crew used the household item to fix a defect in the main engines of his submarine HMS Astute. 'There's nothing more useful, brilliant how wonderful,' said the royal guest about the present which had a small plaque with the words 'Clingflim keeping nuclear submarines at sea'. The Queen is HMS Astute's Lady Sponsor and has developed a strong bond with the crew and wider navy that saw her made a Vice Admiral when she visited Devonport naval base in Plymouth to meet its submariners. She boarded the vessel's huge hull as the first phase of its working life over almost 20 years came to an end, and met eight of its past commanders who stood close to the turret. Later in a garden party speech to the crew and their families, she looked forward to the submarine's return to service after a four-year refit and warned with the 'global tectonics shifting unpredictably' she may return into an 'unfamiliar world'. But said this was a 'challenge that I know will be taken on with her usual tenacity'. She referenced the ingenuity of the crew '…from the innovation of one petty officer to code cutting edge long-range communications software, through to the resourceful solution to maintain a vacuum, in the middle of the Indian Ocean, with clingfilm! 'I can only imagine what the unofficial toolkit in a submarine might look like.'
