My name is Kay and I'm a wine snob.

It's official, after a wine tasting trip to Lake Garda in Italy, my new-found knowledge and being spoilt with fine wines has turned me into a cork dork, grape geek, fully fledged wine snob.

And I hate wine snobs. Those pretentious know-it-alls who use elaborate terminology at dinner parties.

A new cast but no dimming of the brilliance of Alan Bennett's new play of ideas that dissects the prosaic mechanics of creativity.

Getting the proposed cable car link between The O2 and Excel built in time for the 2012 Olympics is hanging in the balance.

Mayor of London Boris Johnson announced the project last month, but financing it is proving tricky. In an exclusive interview with The Wharf Mr Johnson admitted it will be touch-and-go if the cable car will open by July 2012.

Any problems? Minor delays on the Overground but the rest of the Tube/DLR/Overground network has no reported problems.

On the roads the traffic in the area seems to be flowly smoothly.

The East End, and particularly the Isle of Dogs, has seen a massive housing boom in the last 20 years.

For Angela Clarke coming home is not the best thing about going away

Two days before I return from any holiday I start to worry about going back to work.

I only have two days left. My sunlounger is practically my desk. It's a stupid fear - each
Friday I'm delighted to have only two days off. Two days is plenty of time to still get drunk, lie in, enjoy the beach. But I can't help myself.
