The British pop music industry may be eating itself but if Muse are the pick of what it can offer the world in 2010 then British music is in rude health indeed
Muse
I was smitten by both Gilberts enormous luxuriant moustache and the intelligence and nuance of this highly entertaining play
I totally recommend Babbo to anyone who is looking for really good and traditional Italian food
Always been a fan but never seen them live. I was ecstatic to be part of this epic event. WOW!

Nappy Valley: Boiled Egg and Soldiers in Battersea's Northcote Road
Charles Campion points out some child-friendly restaurants in the capital.
Boiled Egg and Soldiers
63 Northcote Road, SW11
As you'd expect in the heartland known as Nappy Valley - Boiled does sound all-day breakfast and brunch dishes, while the eponymous egg with soldiers still appeals. £8pp ex-drinks. (020 7223 4894)
Inn the Park
St James's Park, SW1
Built into the ground rather like a superior hobbit residence, Inn the Park is a laid-back child-friendly establishment with a verdant view. Plenty of traditional British dishes. £20pp exdrinks. (020 7451 9999)
Babes 'n' Burgers
275 Portobello Rd, W11
Laid-back and comfortable establishment that is in the middle of, and aimed squarely at, Yummy Mummy land in Notting Hill. Don't expect culinary fireworks but there are plenty of healthy options. £12pp ex-drinks. (020 7229 2704)
