Apologies for Thursday's non-appearance...

Re the , could her former boss not simply have been using her Facebook entry as an excuse to sack her when he found out about her lack of literacy?

Don't be so sure, Nick from London (Letters, Weds). I call myself a faithful agnostic and go to a Unitarian Universalist church which doesn't have a creed, takes no position on whether and what God is, and instead focuses on a search for spiritual growth.

I fear this letter may become lost in the many wrongly submitted caption competition entries. Even if I were to come up with a caption, I could never submit it as I did not serve in the armed forces and so do not have a nickname to register under. BUT, having never heard of the "Screaming Jelly Baby science challenge" can someone please tell me what this boy is actually doing that requires him to wear safety goggles?

In your weekly quiz, you calculate Sir Fred Goodwin's pension as £1,898.63 a day. However, that's an over-simplification. He'll still pay tax on that however, so it'll actually work out at nearer £1,139.18. Which is still far far far far far too much. Anyway, the really important point being, if you'd done the calculation correctly, I'd have got 6, not 5...

In the office still (it's 19:30 GMT for accuracy's sake..) and still no letters. What do you lot get up to on a Thursday night at Monitor Towers? Pub quiz? Weekly bowling session? All-you-can-eat porridge competitions against Robert Peston, Nick Robinson et al? I'd love to know, but fear that the reality just wouldn't be as good as the fantasy.

It's probably a good thing that has those convenient wipe-down seats.
Dan, Cambridge

I knew a friend from university who had a relative that named their daughter Abigail (shortened to Abi)... shame their last name was Hind.

In and their record breaking we read this sentence: "The popular cartoon, featuring Bart, 91Èȱ¬r, Marge and other residents of Springfield..." No Lisa? No Maggie? Is it just me or is that a trifle sexist?
Andrew Faraday, Crewe, England

Nominative determinism again? Sir Fred GOODWIN!
Malcolm Langley, Wrexham, Wales, United Kingdom

Did anybody else start reading Dan from Cambridge's letter (Letters, Weds) and immediately think of a mobile phone type of blackberry? What a sad world we live in that technology comes to mind before nature!
Jane, Northampton

Re: the anger around Sir Fred Goodwin's pension. I propose a new TV show - "RBS Survivor". Sir Fred Goodwin is sent to a desert island along with a group of RBS shareholders.

In they say "you can derive a phrasebook of words you could use if you tried to show up and talk to, for example, William the Conqueror." So it's a English-French dictionary then?
I'll get my manteau.

Dear Miss Manners - Is it considered Bad Form to use the last of the milk intended for your child's porridge on your own cup of morning tea, and make aforesaid porridge instead with water?
