WHAT'S so special about
used teabags? In my house,
every other bit of kitchen rubbish
goes straight in the bin. But not
teabags. They get put on a special
dish next to the kettle to lie in state
for 24 hours in view of everyone.
Are tea bags somehow related to
the Royal Family?

THESE beekeepers are
hypocrites. They're always
banging on about how we must
save the bees because they're so
important, and then they go and
open up a hive, create a smoke
screen and steal all their food. It's
an odd way of caring if you ask me.

I RECENTLY bought a new
laptop which, to my surprise,
was made by HP. This must be
a really progressive company to
diversify from producing baked
beans, soup and tomato sauce
to making computers. Their
competitors should take a leaf out
of HP's book and get busy. Maybe
we could see new gadgets like a
Fray Bentos Fitbit, Batchelors
Bluetooth Earbuds or even a Mr
Kipling Raspberry Smartphone.

BOIL an egg to perfection
without costly eggtimers by
popping the egg into boiling
water and driving away from
your home at exactly 60mph.
After 3 miles, phone your
wife and tell he to take the
egg out the pan.

PARENTS. Don't waste money on
-A -
expensive number-shaped cake
tins. Simply purchase a '1' and a
'O' and bake a cake every birthday
with your child's age in binary form.

I WAS in Lyme Regis recently
and there was a sign that read
Do Not Feed Me', accompanied by
a photo of a scrawny seagull. That's
all well and good, but there were
literally thousands of the fuckers
flying about, and they all looked the
same. How was I meant to know
which was the one in the photo?

I remember in the nineties, people said that dog shit could make you go blind if you got it in your eyes. But you don't hear about it at all nowadays. Has dog shit changed, or have people just stopped putting it in their eyes? Jojo Collie-Cross, Matlock

THERE'S a lot of negativity
about Artificial Intelligence,
but I for one think it's fantastic
and the best thing for the future of
mankind. Prepare, humans, for utter
submission and slavery. The computer

I don't know why "laughing Hyenas" are so called. I was watching one on the telly the other night, and it sounded more like screaming to me than laughing. Mind you, it was being attacked and eaten by a bunch of lions, so maybe I just caught it on an off day. Crawford Biscuits, Epping

COULD some screenplay writer please hurry up and create a new murder detective who drives around in a red 1982 2.3 V6 mkV Ford Cortina Ghia with a black vinyl roof? I've been trying to flog mine for weeks and I've not had
so much as a nibble.

SOME BLOKE on TV said it would take 9,618,000 fully grown African elephants standing trunk to tail to encompass the earth at the equator. But according to Wikipedia, there are only about 700,000 elephants left in the wild, so I'm afraid it's just never going to happen.

NEW-build home owners. Fill
your kitchen and bathroom spot
light fittings with dead flies to
give it the character of a much
older property.

THEY SAY that no two
leopards have the same spots,
and that their markings are as
individual as fingerprints. This may
•
be important if a leopard commits
a burglary and is caught on CCTV,
but other than that, I find this
to be an utterly useless piece of
information.

I DON'T know why people
say
"it's not rocket science"
as a means of explaining how
simple something is. Rocket
science is fairly simple itself. All
you have to do is make sure that
the thrust the engines produce
is greater than the weight of the
rocket and off they go. "It's not
getting an appointment with your
GP" would be a better phrase, as
this is virtually fucking impossible.

DOES ANYONE know
what's going on inside a
washing machine between the
point when it's finished the wash
cycle and emptied the water out,
and the point 2 or 3 minutes later
when the door unlocks? I have
watched intently through the
washer door many times during
these periods of forced laundry
detainment, and I simply can't see
anything happening. Am I missing
something, or are the washing
machine designers just trying to
waste our time?

CHESS players. Make sure
your opponent sits in front of a
reflective surface so as you can
get a sneaky peek at their pieces
when they are not looking.

the train? They're going that way
anyway, why can't they just drop me off?

HOW come whenever we have
a heatwave the authorities
impose a hosepipe ban, yet whenever
we have torrential rain there is no
opposite rule to make sure we all
turn our hosepipes on daily? Come
on, water companies, get your act
together. It seems there's one rule
for droughts and
another for extreme
flood events.

Magazine Letter: I recently saw on a nature program that the mosquito is the most dangerous creature in the animal world. Well I'd like to see someone take out a lion or an alligator with a rolled-up copy of Gardeners' World. Foz, Neston

Magazine tip:
Convince your neighbours that you are having hot dogs for tea by opening the kitchen windows, frying up some onions and shouting out "How many hot dogs do you want?" to imaginary guests.

Magazine letter: The suggestion that athletes taking drugs can enhance their performance by doing so is utter nonsense. I entered the Great North Run last year and just before the start I had a couple of skunk spliffs. Two days later I woke up in a park in Berwick covered in a kebab salad and missing a shoe, having ran in completely the opposite direction to the finishing line. Graham Flintift, Gateshead
