I hope I'm not the only one who finds that photo of Bela Lugosi quite, well, scary... (sent from behind the sofa).

That's not "urban wildlife". That's weeds.

Re this, do the words "over 75" and "dying prematurely" really belong in the same sentence? I work in the NHS and there has been propaganda creep which is fed to us all that we don't actually have to die, and that with treatment, eating or not the right/wrong things etc, we will be immortal. We won't, we're all going to die, and the sooner people accept this the better it will be for us all.

This presents no end of opportunity. You could have the Heinz Spaghetti Junction... the Pizza Express... Leicester's "pork pie" roundabout could be sponsored by Pork Farms. And the American clothes shops could sponsor Watford GAP.

Pasties? Sheesh, it's not Mr Difficult now, it it? Hot pasties should be piping hot, cold pasties should be chilled. Anything in the middle isn't a pastie, it's a food poisoning incubator.

The Hunger Games - never heard of it before, but it sounds remarkably like Battle Royale, a classic Japanese manga and film, where annually a school class is nominated and forced to fight each other until only one is left alive. Is The Hunger Games just a remake?

Nominative determinism of the highest order: seen in Sunday's Orlando Sentinel - article entitled "Wi-fi arriving slowly on international flights" ..... wait for it!... by Michael Planey, airline industry consultant.

*Sorry Rusty, I* must decline the invitation (Tuesday letters). *I am unable* to read the "10 things" articles due to the often unfortunate formatting. *Putting the first* three words of every sentence in bold distorts the emphasis in often unfortunate (and sometimes humorous) ways.
