Eddie Kidd has overcome all the odds to become an inspirational hero as he achieved his greatest feat ever. The former stuntman was told by doctors that he could never walk again after a failed stunt left him with brain damage and paralysis in 1996. It took him 43 days to complete the course and walk across the finishing line using a special frame but it shows the mark of the man who didn’t give up on this epic effort.

What is even more awe-inspiring is that Eddie had set out to raise £50,000 in charity for Children with Leukaemia and The Eddie Kidd Foundation. Although through his heroic achievement he raised £75,000 by Monday 6th June with still more donations coming in. Apart from lots of support from the media and followers on Twitter and Facebook Eddie was surrounded by cheering celebrity friends as he crossed the finishing line who hailed him a hero and a legend.

While this man may be a celebrity himself it is important to remember that it takes rigorous training and dedication on part of all marathoners to complete the 26-mile circuit. Eddie, 51, had to walk with a sensor on his left leg for stimulating the nerves and muscles to ensure the foot didn’t turn inwards as he walked for 26 miles over 43 days.

It’s not hard to imagine the amount of grit and dedication it took this former stuntman to complete his greatest feat 10 years after the disastrous crash. Eddie Kidd inspired people with medical problems and disabilities to join him in his effort and as his wife Sam, a former model said: “If Eddie can do it, so can you.”

It’s difficult to imagine Lady GaGa being nervous about her debut on the catwalk but since it was at the Paris Fashion Week and for Thierry Mugler we’ll grant her that. Although as her stylist Nicola Formichetti is also the new creative director for the label she obviously found no trouble at all with the clothes and accessories.

Besides that, the lady also strutted to her own music which included a preview of her new track ‘Government Hooker’ and she was also the official music director for the show. GaGa’s outrageous persona fits in perfectly with the ethos of Thierry Mugler’s unique style for women, which can be described as theatrical, yet feminine and provocative.

Formichetti, who is the man behind most of the singer’s whacky costumes, including the ‘Meat Dress’ also made his debut with this women’s wear collection. As creative designer for Thierry Mugler he has also been assigned responsibility for reviving the famous Eighties label.

It was fitting then that the star made her entrance in an outrageous outfit of a sheer black figure-hugging dress and a cloud of cigarette smoke. Her final appearance in a white corseted and skin-tight ‘bride’ dress with a lampshade styled hat and towering platform shoes was vintage Mugler. While the rest of the collection was just as whacky, needless to say Lady GaGa was the star of the show.

You can be the star of your own show at BingoCams by sharing your Live Win Moment on your webcam after winning a bingo game even if you don’t wish to compete with Lady GaGa. This will also fetch you extra cash worth a cool £1000 if your winning reaction is judged the funniest or most creative one for the month. This hot new live bingo site has revolutionised online bingo in the UK giving you a new way to ‘see’ friends through your webcam in the live chat rooms.

If there is one class of games that can be said to have captured the imagination of the gambling world significantly, it would have to be the slots. Few games are as easy to play and yet are so rewarding at the same time, and this is a large part of the iconic status of the free slots. Let’s take a closer look at these and the game’s other benefits.

The main advantage of the free slot games for so many people is that they are…well, free obviously. Such games give you as close to the feel of a full-blown casino experience as you can get without getting up from your comfortable, cozy chair, and the entire process is decidedly less costly. Imagine being able to play your favorite games at no cost at all, and you are getting part of their appeal.

And then there’s the convenience factor. In order to enjoy slots, you would generally have to drive to your nearest casino–provided you even leave anywhere near one–and try to find an empty machine to pump full of coins. All this is well and good of course, and that is indeed a large part of the slots tradition. Nevertheless, there is something to be said for the sheer convenience of being able to play slots whenever and from wherever you want. Play at night, while having lunch or first thing in the morning…it doesn’t matter! The free slots are always open and ready to take in new players.

Here’s one benefit that is sure to grab your attention. Many free slots aren’t actually “free” as much as they are no-deposit slots. What this means is that you won’t have to deposit of your own money in order for you to play. Even more interesting is the fact that many such games actually allow you to get money for free, and you still have no financial obligation at all. You will in effect be playing the free games, while getting some welcome cash in the bargain.

Of course if a deal sounds to good to be true, then it probably is…didn’t your mom tell you that?  Unfortunately, you do have to shell out the green if you want to actually withdraw your bonuses and winnings. This will come in the form of a playthrough fee, which is typically measured out in multiples of the wagers.

Moon Bingo – actually apart from Wink Bingo, this has got to be one of my favourite names for a bingo site ever. It takes hold of your imagination and you can imagine yourself sitting on the moon playing bingo with the stars and having a good old gossip with the man in the moon over a slice of cheese and a glass of wine…

OK back to reality, we’re talking about an online bingo site here, as yet probably not available on the moon, and I have a bit of exciting news for you about Moon Bingo, listen up…

Moon Bingo players will be glad to hear that things are going to explode into a mega frenzy of excitement this month, as the Moon Bingo bosses have apparently decided to switch over to the incredibly popular Virtue Fusion bingo software platform, a move that will surely have members dancing for joy. The exact date of the big switchover in bingo software platforms has yet to be revealed, but we’ll definitely be keeping you posted.

Win £1 Million at Moon Bingo – tonight at 10pm
In the meantime however, you can still get a pretty good ride for your money (in online bingo terms) on the current setup at Moon Bingo. One of the weekly highlights is actually featured tonight at 10pm, the Friday Night £1 Million Coverall jackpot game – with a fantabulously cool One Million Pounds up for grabs.

Now, online bingo jackpots really don’t get much bigger than that! So if you fancy shooting for a million at Moon Bingo tonight then go for it. The minimum guaranteed jackpot is £1500, so if you can’t make it to a full house bingo in 40 or less ball calls, you’ll still net yourself a lovely lump of cheesey money!

Free bingo absolutely rocks! And one of the best things that happened in terms of online bingo this year, is that free bingo became the latest buzzword on the internet, and indeed became one of the biggest searched bingo-themed keywords in Google. Small wonder, with sites like Cheeky Bingo, Posh Bingo and Costa Bingo offering bingo rooms totally dedicated to free bingo games – oh what a wonderful world!

The defining point that put free bingo games firmly on the map was back in February this year, when Cheeky Bingo launched on an unsuspecting community of bingo fans, with not one, but two totally free bingo rooms. This was absolutely unheard of, and bingo pundits all over the UK were left scratching their heads in bemused puzzlement, wondering how on earth this bingo site was going to survive by giving away free money by the truckload!

It is actually a very good question – how on earth did Cheeky Bingo manage to survive by offering non-stop free bingo games with real cash jackpots? Only the powers that be at Cheeky Bingo can really answer that question in depth, however if we hazard an educated guess, we’d say that it was a deceptively clever marketing tactic that although must have initially meant zilch profit for the bingo site, has since paid back many times its weight in gold.

By offering free bingo games with no strings attached, Cheeky Bingo successfully won the attention of a huge number of online bingo fans in the UK. The no frills bingo site sported a simple design, a basic set of bingo rooms with tickets ranging from absolutely free up to a maximum of 50p a pop, and delivered a fun experience and lively community along with jackpots to suit the player. I’ve not yet spoken to a single Cheeky Bingo player who is disappointed with the site, quite an achievement, especially in its first 6 months of launching.

Even further testament to the success of Cheeky Bingo, other bingo sites followed suit, also offering totally free bingo rooms, including Posh Bingo that also underwent a complete revamp and new bingo network, and later in the summer Costa Bingo. Both of these bingo sites offering variations upon a theme of the Cheeky Bingo formula.

With the extremely dynamic world of online bingo especially in the UK, we cannot help but wonder what on earth the next buzzword will be when it comes to internet bingo. What else is there left to do after free bingo?

It’s always to see a fresh face in online bingo, and we’ve got yet another new site in town, this one is called Bingo Boat. You might think it’s a strange name for an online bingo site, but I guess at least it begins with the almost necessary ‘B’ letter.

Bingo Boat is a nautically themed bingo site and if you’re partial to a bit of sailing then you’ll love playing bingo games here. It’s also available in multiplie currencies, which means you’ll bump into a lot of international like-minded bingo fans at this site, a great way to make new friends while you indulge in your favourite pastime.

New members at BingoBoat are welcomed with a fresh £10 Free with which you can happily explore the offers on the internet bingo boat without having to risk any of your own hard-earned cash. If you decide you like what you see and you want some more, you’ll get a super cool 250% Cash Match bonus on your first deposit – quite a nice catch even by today’s generous standards! What’s more, all your subsequent deposits also get the same whopping 250% cash match bonus, which is unheard of as yet, and a first for online bingo.

Apparently you’ll find a nice bundle of lovely big bingo jackpots on board the Bingo Boat too, which is always a delight to us hard-up bingo fans. I can’t wait to try it out for real.

We’ve as yet to review the Bingo Boat site properly but will be able to give you our lowdown on it tomorrow. We believe in writing proper bingo reviews of any and all online bingo sites that come our way, and there’s no other way to do it than just to dive straight in and get down to the nitty gritty. So it looks like one of us, probably me, is going to get wet feet tonight on the good old Bingo Boat. Will let you know how it goes tomorrow folks, stay tuned and watch this space!
