Re: . I was particularly stuck by the final words of the article: "The future of the internet is an internet of connected objects"... so er... just like it is now really... links and stuff...

In response to Helen of Leicester's letter (Monday's letters) regarding Shrove Tuesday. Fasting on Sundays is not allowed, because as the day on which Christ rose from the dead Sunday is always a feast day. Therefore, the lenten fast is the 46 days from Ash Wednesday to Easter Saturday, minus the six Sundays in that time period, giving 40 days in total.

After 40 days in the desert, the extra seven days were spent thus; Jesus rode into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, spent a few days there, arrested Wednesday night, questioned on the Thursday, Good Friday he was crucified and then rose on the Sunday. most people seem to forget those busy seven days when calculating for Lent when really they're the crucial part of the whole thing.

To Steph from Brighton (Monday's letters). This was not the exact same letter, the posting on this site was to try to engage the ´óÏó´«Ã½ in the debate. I myself referred to the Metro debate (although the ´óÏó´«Ã½ took this reference out) and in any case, not everyone gets the Metro. At the risk of being even more boring, why not engage in the actual debate and make some constructive, comments?

Re: DMQ - "Super Toosday ... could be make or break day for Messrs McCain, Romney, Obama and Clinton". I'm sure I'm not the first to point out that 'Messrs' is the plural of 'Mister' - and that Mr Clinton had his big break in politics some time ago.

Re: Ashley from Kent's letter (Monday's letters) about annoucements for train delays. At some point they must have changed the phrase from "we are very sorry" to "I am very sorry". Obviously they think people will feel more empathy with the train companies if they imagine them as single person.
