Your Letters
I have just read and was quite frankly totally disappointed. I did not see any inspiration or seriously impressive achievements. What I saw was negativity and actresses, apart from the Anglican who wasn't really an Anglican. I will be interested to see who the you feature are. I am sure more powerful and influential than this bunch. So much for girl power.

Re : My vote for an "own goal" advert goes to the Virgin Trains ad. Let's see now: we have a group of horses chasing, and rather quickly catching, a Virgin train. Horses can gallop at speeds ranging from 30mph (generic) through about 40mph (thoroughbred) up to about 50mph (quarter-horse, short bursts only). Therefore the train is going at less than 30mph on a straight-ish track in the middle of nowhere. Now we know why they run late.

Paper Monitor's gender mystery solved! No male would have a wardrobe full of WHITE jeans.

Hands up all those needing the hair of the dog that bit you prior to this morning's mini-triathlon...

Nice to see Friday's Paper Monitor join in with the mid-winter silly season by slipping in an entry for Natchwatch. Mind you, it's been a long time since we've done this watch on the Monitor that I had to look the word up in the dictionary to remind myself what it meant. Happy New Year!
