´óÏó´«Ã½

Re the new adverts for international users and this from the FAQs: "so rather than charge users to subscribe we decided that an advertising model was the best way to fund the upgrade". How come no one saw fit to ask the afore-mentioned international users? I would much rather pay for a subscription and receive no adverts. Surely you can run both options for those who want an advert free service.

I see that the promised adverts have arrived on the international version of the ´óÏó´«Ã½ website. However, on a slow connection, it leaves a big gap at the top of the page while the advert loads on the right. Is this a teething problem or will I just have to put up with this annoyance?

Urgh! I've just seen my first ads on the ´óÏó´«Ã½ website. It's very weird and a little disturbing, like watching your real auntie dressing up in tight and revealing clothes that are 20 years too young for her.

As a second-year chemist, I feel I have to raise an issue with John Airey's comment (Your letters, 5 November). A biodegradable bag can't only form water and oxgyen, unless the bag was made of peroxide. There is most certainly carbon given off, be it as gas, or some fuel for bacteria.

Having discovered that and that her sturdy handbag is in vogue, does anyone know (suggest) what she keeps in it, assuming she doesn't need like the rest of us money, doorkeys or a phone?

Re the story that a pregnant Kerry Katona "cannot curb her smoking habit": surely going from 20 a day to one is by anyone's definition "curbing" of the highest order. I think the word that's needed is "stop".

, ... Which is which here, or is the 2012 ambition to be in Broadway, or is Paula running in Broadway?

Ever since I read about , I have been wondering how seven people would go about sharing a bladder. Can anyone enlighten me?

Nich Hill (Your letters, 5 November), the article left out the relevant fact about the Red Arrow's paint job ie that the words "Red Arrows" have been replaced by "Royal Air Force". The intention is apparently to remind spectators that the Arrows personnel are all serving officers. Of course this wouldn't be anything to do with reinforcing the RAF's name as a brand.

There's some dodgy maths in the report.
To see which sort of billions you're using, I calculated it back from the 4,000 per second.
4,000 x 60 = 240,000 per minute.
240,000 x 60 = 14,400,000 per hour
14,400,000 x 24 = 345,600,000 per day.
With 30 days in September that would be 10,368,000,000. Or 10 billion.

The children as young as 15 are involved in "terrorist related activities". Well, of course they are, has he not checked the date on which he said it?

Does explain why people turn their car radios down if they're looking for a particular place whilst driving?
