RE: HTML5 takes the internet by storm. Many pedantic monitorites have probably already pointed this out, but the image used on the preview of the video is PHP not HTML5. But let's not have details ruin a good story...

Rob, (Friday's letters) re: Cafe Oto. Surely the very essence of Italian Vogue is to celebrate the "most awkward, inappropriate, and over-rated" so therefore Cafe Oto would come out on top of any survey they produced...?

Sue (Monday's letters) - aren't pikelets essentially mini pancakes made with sugar? I recently moved to NZ and offended my flatmate by referring to his offerings as a pancake!

Not sure what Sue, London has eaten all her life, but the items in the picture are definitely crumpets. Pikelets are more like fat pancakes. I'll get my butter...

So Punch and Judy celebrate 350 years of their puppet show. Crocodile says it passed "snappily", those sausages must have past their sell-by date surely? The times on an English beach sitting cross-legged watching these two characters bash each with no health and safety or do-gooders spoiling the fun like they have done to lots of normal childhood activities today. ''Crocodile, Mr.Punch...'' Oops back on that beach for a second there....idyllic times...

Dinosaur gases warmed the Earth? Sounds like a lot of hot air to me.

Is last week's 10 Things photo meant to evoke the idea that for every cockroach you see, there are 9 others you don't?

My father was in the City of London yeomanry and in the Gallipoli campaign. In 1916 he heard that anyone who could ride a horse could fly a plane. He trained on a Maurice Farman and then flew the Sopwith Pup, Avro and Bristol Monoplane. One of the Bristol monoplanes engines ground to a halt and he landed in the desert. The engine was a mass of metal. He was not an ace but loved flying. After the war his ex CO was in charge of Hanworth "Aerodrome" and he asked if there was any chance of flying. The CO said if you will take people up you can. He loved flying and "stunting" but when I was four my mother thought it was too dangerous for a father of a growing son. As an occupation I think flying was the only thing he really enjoyed.

Can I be the first to congratulate Franc Bolero for not only finishing 4th in the caption competition but also for introducing some nominitive determinism.
