Round-up of the week

Good god, for some of you, it’s finally pay day, which means a week of feast and three weeks of famine. Again.

The Scoop
We did our first liveblog of Mayor Questions on the budget on Wednesday. It’s the best.

Other features in The Scoop:
1. Will Boris’s credit card deal repeat Oyster mistakes?

2. Mobiles on the Tube – Boris wants them, but do you?

3. Lambeth’s Labour rebel left out in the cold

We’ve also set up a tipline: email the Scoop team at scoop@snipe.at if something in your Borough needs the harsh light of a moderately-trafficked website upon it.

In Art, Lauren Down has a week’s worth of amazing art picks.

In Books, Jon Davis takes on that scourge of our time, the libraries

In Film, Rebecca Sear is unimpressed with unscary theological thriller, The Rite and Declan Tan tolerates West is West and The King’s Speech.

In The Metropolis, we take a look at the awesome work of London’s Awesome Foundation, and watch an actual working Angry Birds Birthday cake.

Michael Pollitt rounds-up the best Internet memes of the week, then stokes the war between the sexes with his Things girls wear that guys secretly hate.

Finally, we’ll play you out with Tom Jenkin’s lovingly curated MPFree’s.
