Reading reports that the England players are fully behind Steve McClaren leads me to wonder whether he is wearing one of the coats featured in this week's Punorama?

Re: interview. Intro to the article: "The education secretary, one of six contenders to become the next Labour deputy leader, told the ´óÏó´«Ã½ News website: 'We come from a similar background. He left school at 16 to go to university. I did the same, at 15, but it was to start stacking shelves in Tesco.'" So not similar backgrounds at all then? Completely opposite in fact!

Re: . What's the chance that this research was done by scientists who are single and are thinking "well if I'm not getting any, then no one is".

With reference to . "Each couple was asked to spend 10 nights sleeping together and 10 apart while the scientists assessed their rest patterns with questionnaires and wrist activity monitors". Duh! It doesn't take monitor to work out the effect on their wrists surely?

Peter MK, should not be so hasty. According to the US Census Bureau, the current world population is 6,584,907,152. So the police have already eliminated 1,584,907,152 people, which is about the same as the combined populations of China and Japan. So only another 192 countries to go...

Re: Andy from London asks about triangular sandwiches tasting better. It's a hippy thing, square = boring.
Caroline, Rochester, UK
Regarding Andy in London and triangular sandwiches. Assuming a sandwich consists of 2 slices of bread one upon the other with a filling between, triangulating (for this is surely the name for cutting bread from corner to corner) once to produce two halves reduces the number of crust corners (where the volume of dry crust far outweighs the soft and luscious centre) from 4 to 2, a further triangulation (creating 4 parts in total) brings about the total destruction of all these crusty gatherings and should, in my opinion, bring about the potential for the perfect sandwich, assuming the filling is ham, cheese and tomato with a thing spread of hot English mustard. Please don't mention crusty continental breads (whose names I cannot spell and often bring about unfortunate mispronunciation that is taken for swearing), these have their place in sandwich making but can only be considered as a bit snooty when taken into the office (maybe not in Metropolitan London but certainly in inferior Derby).
