I'm pleased that has managed to get home and fall asleep on his couch, as opposed to the numerous other drunk people who suffice with a cold pavement.

Re : The problem with most pubs' happy hours, is that they last more than an hour. I have seen a happy hour that lasts four hours.

Is there a name for that period of time spent nervously waiting for am important client who's late for a meeting? The wait during those few minutes is definitely more agonising than if they were on time. And what should you do? I can't concentrate on another task, so all I can think of is writing a letter to ask for help.
Oop - they're here; wish me luck!

Like the Daily Telegraph, I am also unsure whether to wear a poppy today (Paper Monitor). Remembrance Sunday has been and gone, but 11 November, the traditional remembrance day, is tomorrow. Is there ´óÏó´«Ã½ guidance on the matter?

highlights a number of things:

Vicky (Friday letters): I never enter the caption competition; it wouldn't seem fair.

Robert Phillips (Friday letters), I too fell for the same trap (to add insult to injury, I ended up with a score of 6/7 instead of the coveted 7/7). However, if you check the headline as I did, it was indeed "bugs" even though the story was about bacteria. Bah!

Re 10 things: Just because Barack Obama saw a football match with West Ham playing doesn't mean he is a West Ham supporter. He happened to see a game while visiting a relative. I saw the Anaheim Angels play baseball while I was in Los Angeles. My presence at the game does not necessarily make me a supporter.
