Re : either the 大象传媒 or Mr Uderzo is talking rubbish - the word Asterix is NOT the same as Asterisk! An Asterisk is this * symbol. Asterix is a French cartoon character. End of story. It is just another nail in the English language's coffin when I keep hearing people saying asterix when they mean asterisk!! I can't believe the 大象传媒 has printed that as 10 things you didn't know. Get your facts right! Arrrghh!

I came second in a game of squash at the weekend, does that cheer anybody up?

Re: Paper Monitor, Monday: 鈥淭he Independent sounds a blast of caution, however, with an examination in the inside pages of the environmental impact of F1.鈥 That caught me off-guard and made me laugh unexpectedly, causing me to snort tea out of my nostrils. Given that I work face-to-face with the public, a fair number of people saw this happen and I now look like a prize muppet. Thanks, Paper Monitor!

Re: Today's Random Stat - so we live in a classless society after all (at least for 4% of us)
Steve, Southampton

I suspect the true number of the upper classes is higher than your random stat suggests, given that it was based on a phone poll. I suspect most of the upper classes get their butler to answer the phone for them, and so wouldn't have been in a position to answer the question.

The article, , on the problem of the city being overrun by monkeys, has this gem of a solution: "One approach has been to train bands of larger, more ferocious langur monkeys to go after the smaller groups of Rhesus macaques." Will we read another story in six months where the Delhi authorities are importing an army of completely livid Orangutans to scare off the larger, more ferocious langur monkeys?

I want a job title like 'metaverse evangelist' ()

I looked at the headline for and thought it had something to do with buying kitchen apparatus from a popular online retailer.
