Discs of the day

The John Peel Centre for Creative Arts has begun posting details of 2,600 albums from his collection online. His widow Sheila talks G2 through it later this week.

Cake stand

Elitism – never a good look. Should Cameron take a tip from South Africa, where ministers have been banned from eating cake in public for just that reason?

Game on

One Olympic ticket that might be within your grasp: so far, only 10,000 tickets have been sold for Team GB's first women's football match.

Bathroom curtains

Impractical, unhygienic … why not follow the example of Prince Charles, who says he took his down and had them made into cushions?

Winging it

An Angry Birds theme park opened at the weekend in Finland. It features a multi-level climbing tower based on the pigs' fortresses.
