a couple seen on here before, but enjoy anyway

 

Hats off to the England cricketers for their achievements in the Ashes

 

this summer, Which rightly earned Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff BBC Sports

 

personality of the Year. Winning a two-team tournament against a nation

 

with a much smaller population once in every ten attempts, then never

 

shutting up about it makes me proud to be British. Ben Hunt

 

 

 

The government tells us that we are eating too many pies and dying of

 

heart disease, then in the next breath they're telling us we are living

 

too long and there'll be no more pension money left for us. I wish

 

they'd make their minds up. John

 

 

 

'Alton Towers - Where the magic never ends', or so the commercial says.

 

Imagine my disappointment when it closed at 7.30. Colum Hill

 

 

 

I am married to a Taiwanese lady, and people often ask me if she was a

 

mail-order bride. I find this very insensitive. The Royal Mail loose

 

around 2 million letters and parcels each year, and to suggest that I

 

would trust the delivery of my wife to them is insulting in the

 

extreme. She was sent by DHL next day delivery. L Palmer, London

 

 

 

The record companies would have us believe that the money made by CD

 

pirates goes to fund the drug industry. But the money rock stars make

 

from legal record sales ends up in exactly the same place. When they

 

stop breaking the law, so will I. P Boddington, Ringway

 

 

 

Peter Andre might look smug in all his wedding pictures, but I'd just

 

like to remind him that, as a Playboy reader, I have seen his wife's

 

m!nge, He hasn't seen my wife's, so who's had the last laugh? P, Leeds

 

 

 

 

 

My friend's mum recently pointed out that I have the same ironing board

 

cover as her. Can anyone think of a more mundane and pointless remark to

 

make than this? Alun Daniel

 

 

 

I'LL never understand my neighbour. He has recently started

 

wheel-clamping his own caravan when he finds he has inadvertently parked

 

it in his own drive! I wonder if he is a sadist, a masochist or both.

 

Alan Thakray

 

 

 

Did anyone else feel that Mel Gibson's remake of the classic Life of

 

Brian wasn't anywhere near as funny as the original?

 

 

 

On the BBC website, I read with interest that some scientists in

 

Australia have discovered the smallest fish known to exist. They've

 

obviously never been to the Britannia Chippy on the Gloucester Road.

 

Alan J., London

 

 

 

Hats off to the American police. They arrive at Michael Jackson's

 

Neverland ranch to arrest him a mere six months after he admits climbing

 

into bed with young boys on worldwide TV. Perhaps they should get some

 

faster cars. T Barnham, London

 

 

 

COULD the Home Secretary explain to me how biometric checks on iris

 

patterns and fingerprints are going to help keep tabs on muslim cleric,

 

Abu Hamsa. Les Barnsley

 

 

 

HOW come rap artist Dr. Dre can use the 'N' word on his multi-million

 

selling albums and win a MOBO award, yet when I used it at my son's

 

footbal match I was asked to leave the park? Once again, it's one law

 

for the rich and another for the poor. Reg Ashcroft, Bradford

 

 

 

The government says that there are nearly 50,000 people with HIV in

 

Britain, a third of whom do not even know that they have it. Is it just

 

me, or is it a bit harsh that the government know and haven't told the

 

poor sods? John Campbell, e-mail

 

 

 

Never mind ventriloquists like Keith Harris and Roger DeCourcey. What

 

about Professor Stephen Hawking? I saw him on telly blathering on about

 

galaxies for hours and I never saw his lips move once. Genius. Mike

 

Woods, e-mail

 

 

 

With reference to that series "Manhunt" where ex-Special Forces soldiers

 

try to hunt down Andy McNab. Why don't the producers include a couple of

 

Iraqis in the hunting team? They found the tw*t quickly enough the last

 

time he played hide and seek with them. Shuggie, Email

 

 

 

Hats off to the witty burglars who stole my entire CD collection with

 

the exception of "There is Nothing Left to Lose" by the Foo Fighters. I

 

hope that when sentencing, the judge takes into account their splendid

 

sense of humour. Chris Scaife, Jesmond

 

 

 

I see on the news that Lord Hutton says he is "satisfied that David

 

Kelly took his own life". He may not have liked Dr Kelly that much, but

 

isn't this taking gloating just a little too far? Dave Owen, Edinburgh

 

 

 

I was extremely saddened to hear of Richard Whiteley's recent death. But

 

I was cheered to imagine his life support machine making the famous

 

Countdown "da-da, da-da, da-da-da-da! Booooooo!" sound as he took his

 

final breaths. Tripod

 

 

 

I never worry about the destination when I'm going on holiday. My dad is

 

Iranian and my mum is Irish, so I spend most of the time in customs.

 

Stan

 

 

 

What's all this nonsense about that 66-year-old Romanian woman being the

 

world's oldest mum? My mum's 77. Beat that. Thomas J.
