A beautiful day, even if we all lost an hour at the weekend: Chrissie is out and about to tell you if it's going to last.
Space, and the lack of space, there's a theme.
In a City Hall, far far away, a man who some say came from the Dark Side, has hatched a bold plan to go with cell-phone transmitters where cell-phone transmitters have never gone before. Ken has bought a share in a rocket-launched satellite transponder that will beam your mobile phone messages around the capital and the south east. 21st Century Ken or a crazy and dangerous plan? The ever logical Simon Harris has the details.
Then there's Network Rail playing sardines due to a lack of ... space. The Cambridge-Liverpool service has an occupancy rate of 185% - no misprint: that's more than 18 passengers for every 10 places on the train. And there are many more examples. Glen has squeezed on to bring you the details and no size-ists jokes, please: it was an assignment, entirely on merit.
There was a time when bad behaviour at school, especially in the "great" public schools like Harrow, Eton and notably Rugby, was met with a clip round the ear, and often considerably worse as those of you who have read Tom Brown's School Days - set in Rugby School 150 years ago - will know.
"Bring it back", many of you bellow, as you see louts and hooligans terrorise your streets.
But take two tear-aways, don't thump them but educate them; inspire and motivate them and, guess what? They win scholarships to....Rugby! It's a great story and Marcus rejoices in bringing it to you.
The Boys in Blue at Heathrow, with a little help from everyone else in authority, decided Snoop Dogg had over-done it in the BA Executive Lounge as he headed home after Live 8 last year. He was told he might not be welcome back. In the Lounge. In London. Even, maybe, the country .
Bit of a problem , that, for the Boys and Girls in the Ticket Box at Wembley Arena where he is due to perform tomorrow with his old mate P Diddy. An intriguing solution beckons, as Kate reports.
How they're packing them in in the latest social housing development and, if you think I am talking six to a room, think again: you'll be amazed or infuriated at the story... depending on where you stand!!!
And as the anniversary of the Falklands conflict beckons, the moving reminiscences of two Londoners who fought there and carry the scars and medals to prove it.
Beam me up, now: there's work to be done!
Alastair & Katie
