mycketforvirrad ‘We can live again’: Belgian nursing home residents hit the nightclubs The Guardian – Philip Oltermann – 2nd May 2024‘We can live again’: Belgian nursing home residents hit the nightclubs
A Belgian initiative with the motto “happiness overcomes old age” has found a novel way to counter feelings of loneliness among nursing home residents: unleashing them on to the dancefloor of Brussels’ largest nightclub.
As part of a series of unconventional activities designed to keep retired people active, a nonprofit association, Papy Booom, recently arranged for 11 pensioners to visit Lift Brussels, a 1,360 sq metre (14,500 sq ft) venue specialising in R&B, reggaeton and Latin dance.

mycketforvirrad 'Seagull Boy', nine, wins European screeching competition BBC News – Caroline Lowbridge – 23rd April 2024'Seagull Boy', nine, wins European screeching competition
A nine-year-old British boy has won a European championship with his uncanny impression of a seagull.
He originally started doing seagull impressions after being nipped by one while he was eating a tuna sandwich.
He wanted to become "Seagull Boy", like when Peter Parker became Spider-Man after being bitten by a spider.
