The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals is the latest stop in the 15-year legal battle over the £1bn estate that oil magnate J Howard Marshall left after his death in 1995 aged 90.

A giant pole was raised outside Parliament on Tuesday. Sadly, it wasn't a maypole. It was a pole of the type that women gyrate around, semi-clothed, for money, and it was an angry stunt by women's campaign group Object ("challenging Sex Object Culture") to raise awareness of the fact that we now have twice as many of these poles in this country as we did three years ago.

Meanwhile the BBC isn't helping stem the filth, either.

Anyone who wears denim knows a kind of love affair exists between them and their jeans. They know which brand, label, style and size looks best, where to shop, and how long it takes to wear a pair thin. Once the ideal pair has been found, denim lovers remain forever faithful to their chosen brand. But Lee has been prizing confirmed Wrangler and Levi wearers away from their treasured denims and are now the undisputed No 2 jeans worldwide. Most stylish of their range is their very special 101z. Favourites of Marilyn Monroe and Japanese denim freaks, they're made from crispy new 'ring/ring denim and have racy yellow stitching, copper rivets, the original style U-shaped crotch and a tapered bootleg cut. They're not a new design. In fact, the 101z are the world's first zip-fly jeans and were designed in 1926. The company simply dusted off the blueprint and relaunched. Retailing at a hefty pounds 69.50, these handsome strides are being bought by London's urban cowboys and girls.
