Reliable sources have informed us that secret negotiations have been taking place between Australia and New Zealand discussing the possibility of uniting the two countries. The hoped for date for this is the symbolically important Anzac Day, 2020. To placate Kiwis who feel they're being eaten up by their larger brother, the suggested new flag for the combined country is the NZ flag.

At the Café Evening on Friday 11 March at Floras Kaffebar all the correct entrants to the Fat Freddy's Drop Competition were put into my hat on folded pieces of paper and we asked a member of staff to draw the lucky winner.

And the winner was: Kathrine Bjerg. Congratulations Kathrine!

For all of you unlucky enough not to have won, hurry now and buy your tickets at www.billetlugen.dk

See you there!

The Southern Cross Club is running a competition to win two tickets to the Fat Freddy's Drop concert on April 3 in Falconer Salen in Frederiksberg. To be in, send an email to committee@southerncrossclub.dk answering the following question: In what town are Fat Freddy's Drop based? Add your name and contact details and keep your fingers crossed! You're also very welcome to come to one of our café evenings and join the competition there. The next one is at Floras on Blågårdsgade in Nørrebro on Friday 12 February, 7.30pm. The lucky winners will be drawn at the following café evening on Friday 11 March (venue to be announced) from those who have answered the question correctly. So come along! There'll still be a chance to take part on March 11, but you'll need to come early.

The tickets are kindly donated by the organiser of Fat Freddy's Danish concert, who has also guaranteed that there will still be tickets available on March 11 for those not lucky enough to win theirs. (But he doesn't guarantee they won't be sold out by April 3).

In fact the concert has been moved to the larger Falconer Salen from Store Vega, because earlier concerts there have been sold out, leaving many disappointed fans.

I know a lot of you have already bought tickets, but think what a good present two tickets would be.

If any of you don't know who Fat Freddy's Drop are, I really pity you! Then you must come along to find out what you're missing out on!

See you at a Café Evening or at the Fat Freddy's concert!
