Hello, it's Peter here. Welcome to Mondays Levy Letter. I hope your day's going well and you'll be able to join me tonight on BBC One at half past six. We'll have all the day's news as always.
On Look North tonight we'll have the New Yorker giving a lesson in discipline at a Hull school. Hell be targeting the worst kids Hull has to offer. Im sure there might be some comments on this topic, and youll be able to get in touch in the usual ways. Well also have the story of an award winning blacksmith passing on his age old skills to young entrepreneurs. Theyll be trying to pick up this traditional art from scratch, and well be there to see how they do. We'll have the local adventurer attempting to become the youngest person to reach the North and South Poles. And we'll also have the man looking for people to sponsor him to lie on a bed of nails. Rather him than me. And of course Paul will be here with the detailed weather forecast as usual. Thats all coming up on Look North at half past six on BBC One. Half Marathon The Humber Half Marathon is coming up at the end of June. We mentioned it for the first time on Friday, but Paul and I will be there to open that, and start the race off. I think its about 10, or 10.30 on a Sunday morning towards the end of June, so if youre going to sign up for the race then I look forward to seeing you there close to the Humber Bridge. Mr Medium When women are looking for love, good looking high flyers need not apply apparently. Scientists have found that medium flyers are much more likely to win a girls heart. Apparently women think that attractive men who are also successful are too good to be true and are likely to leave them in the lurch, or even worse, holding the baby. Researchers have found that when it comes to Looking for love, girls prefer Mr Medium rather than Mr Attractive and Mr Very Successful. Lying Cyber cheats be warned, people who lie in their emails and text messages face being rumbled by new truth detection software being developed by researchers. Academics have analysed thousands of electronic messages and claim to have identified tell-tale signs that show if somebody is being economical with the truth. The software could one day enable bosses to discover if staff are feigning illness to avoid coming in to work, while husbands who claim to be stuck in the office when theyve gone to the pub risk being caught out. So there we are, its the software that you can put on your computer to tell if somebody is lying over their cyber messages. Whatever next? Photographs If you took some pictures over the weekend, if youve got a photograph that youre particularly proud of, and youd like to send it in, if youve got a story you think I should know about then or a problem you think I can deal with on the programme then the usual address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hayley Shes one of the most successful singers in this country at the moment, and her new album is out today. Shes been on the programme in the past, and shes a hugely popular guest when she come on, you might have seen her on the television the other day in her one hour concert live from New Zealand. Well she is of course Hayley Westenra, and her new album is called Treasure, and it is out today. She sings songs like Shenandoah, Danny Boy, and One Fine Day. Thats out today. Handbag Well standby for handbags at dawn, status conscious women are fuelling a boom in demand for designer bags. Its priced them even above a car, can you believe this? The top priced arm ware includes a Louis Vuitton tribute patchwork bag, and it costs a mere £23,484. Thats a handbag, Louis Vuitton, costing more than a Merc. I thought it was a joke, but its actually true. Lookalikes I dont know if youve seen Dragons Den. One of the experts is the millionaire Peter Jones. There was a picture of him in the paper at the weekend. To me, hes almost a dead ringer for Adam Pearson of Hull City. If you havent seen Peter Jones, look out for him and see if you agree with me. If theres anybody else you know whos a dead ringer for somebody well known then let me know. Do you remember Magpie the TV programme? They used to say I was a dead ringer for Tony Bastable who was one of the presenters many years ago. Anyway, thats it from me today. Dont forget, if theres a story you think I should know about, get in touch with me and let me know, and if youre involved with an amateur group or society and youd like a little plug in the letter then do get in touch and let me know. If theres anyone you know thats not signed up to the Levy Letter and theyd like one, then get them to go to one of the two addresses at the bottom of the page, and sign up, and theyll start getting their letter straight away. Thats it from me today, have a very good afternoon, bye for now.
