A magazine about death that includes real-life experiences? Is that quotes from people who've died?

Did they play croquet at the Olympics? Much as is fascinating to see the odd sports, I believe that poetry and other non-physical events also took place. Can we be enlightened to these other extreme events?
Andy Winsch, Glouceester
I'm not entirely sure why cricket is listed alongside tug of war and croquet as "activities suited to a village fete". I'd heard it was a major international sport. Although I can't help thinking we might win the Ashes more often if we decided it with croquet.

Re Paper Monitor. I've looked at the photo and it's pale burgundy with a fuchsia top section. I have spoken.

Paper Monitor doesn't know what to wear to a wedding? Knows the difference between fuchsia and burgundy? Surely female. Any man (except some Celts with kilts or something similar) wears a suit. Flash guys with more than one suit might choose a light suit for summer, dark for winter. Also, mingling? Men don't mingle.

Hah! Yet further proof that Paper Monitor is a woman. Any man would not even believe that "fuschia" and "burgundy" are real colours in the first place, being no more than poncey synonyms for "purple", and certainly would never have thought they could be different colours.

May I ask a question? How do you pronounce the island St Helena? I've always thought it was St HeLEENa, but heard it as St HELina in the film "The Ghost Writer." The girl's name I've always heard as HELina. If anyone has time, please let me know. Thanks.
