Hi, does anyone know where i can hire a couple of casino tables for a cocktail party?Thanks.

Would love to know about any good outdoor events a newcomer would be safe to attend. I'm a single woman and have been told to be careful when out and about the city or at any clubs or concerts I might attend.

Where can I find a list of concerts coming soon? Mainly rock and blues are my favourite, but jazz would be OK, as well. Thank you!

I've never asked and haven't seen the question here, but are there any English speaking comedy clubs in the area?

Hello. I'm looking to speak to people who have made the decision to leave the UK and move abroad for a potential documentary. At the moment it is just in the research phase so I'm just looking to talk to some people and find out more about the reasons they might move.  Thanks and all the best,  Ellie Gibbs ellie.gibbs@libertybell.tv    020 7598 7209

Are there any English radio stations in Lisbon?

A very specific question. Does anyone know why the Lisbon Opera House is not publishing a programme for 2014 on its web-site? I have tried to contact them but keep getting rather cagey replies with no actual information at all. Will they be staging operas this season? I would love to know - surely they know, so why are they not saying?

We're visiting in the area and would like to visit a cinema house. Are the films going to be played in English or will they have English subtitles at least?
