Return to Middle-earth with Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers in Concert
Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy has enchanted audiences worldwide for over two decades. From the bravery of the hobbits to the grandeur of its storytelling and the timeless charm of the elves, Middle-earth remains alive in our hearts. Central to its magic is Howard Shore's score – a soundscape that made every battle more intense, every journey more emotional, and every moment more magical. This May 17-18, that legendary music returns with The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers in Concert.
This two-day concert features more than 100 musicians from the Thailand Philharmonic Orchestra, joined by a 150-voice choir, all coming together to perform Shore's score live in sync with the film. With every note played live, audiences will be swept from the rolling plains of Rohan to the shadowy towers of Isengard, all while following Frodo and Sam on their perilous journey toward Mordor.
Tickets range from B1,200 to B4,000 and are available now through Eventpop – but choose wisely, for each seat comes with a title worthy of Middle-earth. Will you claim The One Ring (B4,000), take your place among the Wizards (B3,500) or walk with the Elves (B2,950)? Perhaps you'll stand for Gondor (B2,400), ride with Rohan (B1,950), dig deep like a Dwarf (B1,600), or keep things cosy in the Hobbit tier (B1,200). Whichever you choose, your adventure begins the moment you book.

Guess the reason behind New York cabbie's claim to fame...
The Diary is now eagerly awaiting the Scottification of other notable works of fantasy. Very soon we are sure to be watching an improved movie version of C.S. Lewis's classic yarn… The Highland Cow, The Witch and the Wardrobe. And instead of hobbits travelling to the evil land of Mordor, there will be an iteration of The Lord of the Rings where a fellowship of small hairy men called the nesbitts make their way from Glasgow into the heinous kingdom of England. Of course, Scotland doesn't just specialise in fantasy fiction. We're also a dab hand at gritty realism, as you'll now discover by reading the following classic tales from our archives… Waterworks don't work A Canada-based reader visiting Scotland was on the train from Oban to Glasgow where two chaps were in a desperate hurry to get past the refreshment trolley in order to get to the toilet. 'After some shuffling and shunting,' said our reader, 'the Glesga wummin in charge of the trolley managed to let them past, interrupting her sales patter just long enough to announce to everyone in the carriage, 'Thae men – their prostates are a' gone', then carried on selling coffee and sandwiches.' Added our reader: 'I sat with my legs tight crossed until we got to Glasgow.' Foreign affairs A woman in a Glasgow coffee shop was heard telling her friend that she went to see her doctor about a back pain, and he recommended she see a chiropractor. 'I swear,' she added, 'for a few seconds I thought he was wanting to send me to Egypt.' The fame game An East Kilbride reader got into a cab in New York and noticed from the driver's licence that he was named Robert Burns. Making conversation, our reader said: 'That's a famous name you have.' 'It should be,' replied the chap, 'I've been driving a cab here for nearly 40 years.' Horsing around Will the poor folk at Tesco never catch a break? A reader told us: 'Seen leaving Lochgilphead last Saturday… the white articulated Tesco delivery truck with the additional text, graffiti-style, along the length of the trailer, hand-written in the traffic grime: 'Caution – horses in transit'.' The absolute goat A reader found herself living on the outskirts of New Orleans, and once glanced out the window and spotted a goat grazing in the garden. She chased it away, then a short while later a neighbour rung the doorbell and said: 'I know you're from a foreign country, so I thought I'd let you know that the animal in your yard this morning is called a goat, and it's relatively harmless.' Our reader thanked him kindly.

'I looked behind my bathroom mirror and was left startled by what I found'
One man's predicament went viral on social media after he accidentally stumbled upon a bizarre discovery behind his own bathroom mirror and sought advice on what to do with it A man who left baffled after finding "hidden treasure" behind his bathroom mirror has taken to social media for advice, asking his followers, 'What the hell do I do?' Matthew Mann's TikTok video went viral after he discovered an unusual electrical set-up concealed beyond the glass. In the clip, Matthew revealed that a loose latch on the mirror led him to discover a TV screen and light hidden behind it. "I was just curious and I found a TV screen and a light behind the mirror," he explained. Confused, Matthew continued: "It doesn't seem to be plugged in - there's a cable box though. It does turn on but I don't have a remote. What was somebody doing? Watching the news while brushing their teeth?" He also noted its proximity to the toilet and demonstrated that the TV could be viewed with the lights off, joking about the impact on his ADHD. "This is going to drive my ADHD crazy," he admitted. "Am I going to have to get cable for my bathroom now? I might." The video, which has racked up four million views, prompted thousands of TikTok users to offer ideas for the electric setup's purpose. One suggested, "You found some IT dude's abandoned productivity project. "There's software called 'magic mirror' that's like a sci-fi mirror dashboard. You put the weather, your calendar, a bus schedule on it." Another person speculated: "The mirror is somewhat transparent and allows the TV to play through. So you can watch news or whatever when getting ready. This is like a 2000s tech setup." A third recommended: "Get a Google TV dongle, it has a remote and it's connected wirelessly to the Wi-Fi, you can turn the tv on/off with it. Now u have a smart tv in your bathroom u can watch Netflix, YouTube, whatever." However, another asked rather grimly: "Do you think they had cameras someplace and they were watching from there? The whole situation is weird." A week later, meanwhile, Matthew returned to his platform to reveal how he had turned the discovery into a a project of his own enjoyment. "I finally turned this mystery that I uncovered into something fun," he announced. Matthew revealed that he'd purchased a universal remote control, an Amazon Firestick and a light bulb, set up his own rig and started watching The Lord of the Rings to show off his handiwork in another clip. "Well you could do movie reviews from the loo, it would be hilarious," one TikTok user joked in response. Another chimed in: "Engrossed in this series from the UK. When is episode 4 coming out?" A third user exclaimed: "It looks sick. Now you can flex on everyone with this thing." While a fourth quipped: "This is so badass!" Matthew concluded by debunking the notion that the video series had been "staged", showing the accumulated dust behind the mirror as proof. "Like, come on guys, really?" he questioned.

Prime Video cancels beloved fantasy series after ‘best season ever'
A hit fantasy drama has been axed by Amazon Prime Video after just three seasons, leaving fans of the series fuming Prime Video has announced the cancellation of a popular adaptation of one of the most iconic fantasy sagas of all time after just three seasons. Today (Friday, 23rd May), the streaming service confirmed The Wheel of Time, based on the books by Robert Jordan, will not be renewed for a fourth series, just over a month after its season finale in April. Despite being the streaming platform's most-watched premiere in 2021, the series' viewership has dwindled and Deadline reports the reasons behind the cancellation are financial. Fans who have stuck with the series, which stars Rosamund Pike, have been left disappointed as series three was widely considered a huge improvement over previous instalments. Hundreds of viewers have already shared their frustration on social media, reports the Mirror US. "Wdym Prime cancelled The Wheel of Time after the best season they ever had?" one viewer fumed on X (formerly Twitter). "Rosamund Pike literally spent weeks in a desert for nothing?" James Dyer of Empire raged: "No, I'm sorry @primevideouk, this WILL NOT STAND! "Season 3 was f***ing fantastic and if you can afford to pour a billion dollars into [The Lord of the Rings] The Rings Of Power, you can throw some cash at this glorious show!" To which someone else replied: "I thought it really found its feet with Series 3 as well. It felt more focused and the younger actors were starting to give Rosamund Pike a run for her money. "Completely agree with you on The Rings of Power as well. It's ok. But Wheel of Time was much better." The sentiment was echoed on Reddit, with one user remarking: "lmao of course they waited for the show to actually be well received by fans and critics to cancel it." Another weighed in: "I'm genuinely surprised by this... Seems like they had a lot of positive momentum after Season 3 and people were happy with the direction the show was going." And someone else simply stated: "I am so sad. I was really loving the last season." Yet, some watchers confessed they weren't taken aback by the news, criticising The Wheel of Time as an inferior adaptation from the get-go that didn't match the success of fantasy giants like Game of Thrones. "They wanted the next Game of Thrones," another commenter said. "It just wasn't the same kind of cultural phenomenon, no matter how good the last season was in comparison. This was bound to happen, they put a lot of money into it." Nevertheless, numerous supporters have already initiated petitions urging other streamers like Netflix to throw The Wheel of Time a lifeline. Could there still be a glimmer of hope for the series? The Wheel of Time is available to stream on Prime Video.
