Morning! Its Peter here and welcome to Wednesdays Levy Letter. I hope your day is going well.
Join me tonight, BBC1 6.30pm as usual tonight. Ill be talking to the former press secretary to Baroness Thatcher, Sir Bernard Ingham. Sir Bernard will be joining me ahead of Baroness Thatchers 80th birthday tomorrow. Hes also written a new book about the fifty greatest Yorkshiremen ever. Its certainly going to be a controversial one! And of course we will be asking about the Conservative party leadership as well. Sir Bernard Ingham will be our guest. Well also have all the rest of the days news of course, and also tonight our guest will be one of the members of Human League, the one and only Phil Oakey will be talking to us. And Humberside Police will be showing off their new tazer stun guns today. The Chief Constable is pushing to make them more widely available. The tazer, which gives suspects a 50 000 volt shock, can only be used by trained fire armed officers. Well be looking at that story tonight as well. Join me if you can at the usual time, BBC1 at 6.30pm. Thanks Thanks for all the emails on a variety of subjects and also suggestions for guests on the programme. Im most grateful for all of those. Keep them coming in. Also if youve got a problem, which you think we may be able to tackle on the programme on Leave it to Levy, then the address to write to is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cards As you know were all supposed to be doing Suduko in every spare moment that we can, but I was interested to read in the paper this morning that if youre a card player you might be interested in this one. Now the game poker - well Ive never been able to play poker, I dont know the rules, I dont know anything about poker, but apparently poker is more popular than going out! Loads of people, particularly women, are staying in, in the evening and playing poker and also having a gamble as well. Theyre not just doing it at the card table, theyre also doing it on the internet as well. Theres been a big boom in internet poker. If there are any poker players in our region, then I would be grateful if youd get in touch and tell me about your fascination in the game and also tell me the secret of the game also, because I dont know anything about it whatsoever. So any poker players out there, who are Levy Letter readers, Id be interested to hear from you! Calendar Were just a few days away from getting our first delivery of our first ever Look North calendar. Its a collection of photographs that we have used on the Big Screen. They are views of the area. The calendar is going on sale and the money raised is going to Children in Need. There will be details in Mondays Levy Letter about where you can buy the calendar. But if you havent bought your calendar for 2006 yet, then dont do it for a few days, because you could be helping a very good cause. More details on Monday! Pizza Well for most of us, pizza is a cheap and filling treat, which arrives in a cardboard box, usually on the back of a motorbike after ten minutes to make the pizza and then half an hour to find your house! But not for Gordon Ramsey, the top London chef! Diners at his latest London restaurant are being offered what is being billed as the worlds most decadent pizza. It costs, would you believe, £100! Its ten inches across and barely a quarter of an inch thick, including a topping thats not for the faint of heart. Come to think of it, its not for the faint of nostril either, laced as it is with lashings of highly pungent and equally high-prized white truffles. What is truffle?? Does anybody know? Anyway, Ive never had truffle, well I wouldnt know if I had anyway! Gordon Ramseys pizza has truffle in it and if you want to go to his restaurant, itll be £100 for a pizza. What do we think about that one? Grimsby Town Last night we were talking about the ticket allocation issue at Grimsby Town for their game with Newcastle. Quite a few emails in about this. If you want to get in touch then do so and well read some out again tomorrow or maybe tonight on the programme. This one from John, which is typical of many. Its a little unfair to point the finger at the club. It was the fans fault that they started to queue at two oclock in the morning. Any more comments on the Grimsby story then get in touch and well have some more on air tonight. Pictures If ever youre out and you witness an accident, or fire or some other newsworthy event and you get a picture of it on your mobile phone or maybe your video camera, or if you know of anyone else who has, then we would like to know about it, so we can use it on the programme and put them on Look North. Do get in touch with us straight away. You can always email us at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or direct to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Worth passing the message on as well to any friends. Also if there is anybody you know whod like a Levy Letter, whos not already signed up, then get them to do so. The address is at the bottom of the page. Just go to that, click on Levy Letter and follow the instructions through. Well, thats it from me for this Wednesday. Have a very good day. Join me tonight BBC1 at 6.30pm as normal. I shall be writing again tomorrow look out for your Levy Letter!
