We found an article about laughter and the Credit Crunch and how it was affecting us all. There were some very 'interesting' facts in there as well as a quote from a Professor. The real Professor in the Story was naturally far to busy to give us an interview even though we found his phone number on his website. So we had to phone up someone to do a fake one instead.

Bang drum at the angel. The group has about 20 people who attend and spend a couple of hours practicing for drumming performances. The group is made up of people from many places and nationalities and caters from novice and experienced percussionists. The group meets at the Angel Healthy living centre (the old eye hospital) every Thursday at 7:30pm - 9:30pm. There is a bus stop around the corner for travel access.
