My ambition was fulfilled yesterday when I was the first to answer the , but maybe I should do more work as I was the first today as well!

All this nonsense that no-one knows the ending of Harry Potter 7. If we leave aside JK, her editor, the publisher and typesetter, the multiple translators for the foreign language versions, etc., then I vote we ask Stephen Fry who's had to read it for the audiobook! (Or the techie who pressed the buttons...)

People shouldn't complain about MJ Simpson getting two letters in one day - if someone sends more than one good letter then it should be published. And it's not like it's the first time it's happened...

I'm M J Simpson, and so's my wife.

It's good to know that the long-beaked echidna is alive and well and living in Papua New Guinea - where one has been found and eaten by locals. Presumably you have shown instead because it is more able to protect itself from peckish readers?

Re ; I travelled from Teesside to Norfolk recently, and had a bicycle with me on the return journey. This would have meant three changes by train, calling three rail operators about the bicycle, and would have cost around £73.
So I drove, and it cost around £33. How can people possibly be expected to not use the car and pay double to use inconvenient public transport? And don't get me started on London Underground prices, when one journey on the Madrid metro costs one euro!

Best Paper Monitor in ages. Nearly bought a paper on the strength of it.

Re: imperceptible witticisms this side of the Atlantic. Wit here in my land is d-e-a-d, except maybe for The Simpsons. And NOBODY eats porridge during the summer. Thanks for the link to the Times though.
Sigh.

Re the new word Boris Johnson uses - does no-one at Paper Monitor (or the Guardian for that matter) speak French?

Re "pictures of the German woman who was held an underground prisoner for years" Ooh! Think you'll find she's actually Austrian! What's next, an article on Kylie Minogue, New Zealand's most famous singer? Or how about an in-depth profile on our new prime minister's childhood in South London?

Interesting to see the fuss pagans are making over this when the evidence is that the Cerne Abbas giant isn't ancient at all and is in no way linked to fertility rights. It was a political skit of Oliver Cromwell I believe. According to a Dan Cruickshank show I saw years ago, the only really ancient chalk figure in the UK is the Uffington White Horse.
