Video

• James Cagney's birthday

  He made the baddest gangster in screen history. His pre-code role as Tom Powers in the 1931 film The Public Enemy was the very foundation of the genre.

• Bangkok's New Underground Train

  Plenty of head-space for travellers from foreign countries and rows of seats running lengthways so that if you do snag a seat you will be facing the person across from you. I approve of this choice as the odds are good that a Thai tart in a short skirt will be sitting on the opposite side.
