Re: today's quote about Mr Rooney, I initially thought this was a slang word, so went off searching in Italian slang for it. It wasn't there, but I did uncover a lot of other good Italian words beginning with C, which I am saving for future use.
Ronald King, Purfleet, England

Oh curse you, Magazine! I would have got my first ever 7/7 had you numbered the pictures of question one in a proper order! The '1,3,2,4' arrangement cost me dearly!
Aaron, Lowestoft, UK

Since I have a pet turtle, I watched the to see a tortoise who is apparently "mothering" a baby rhino. But the video said it's a male, so shouldn't he be fathering it? Rather dark age to act like tenderness can only be maternal.
Nadja, Bostonian in Moscow, Russia

Monster-bottle Baby is becoming the new Drunk Girl. He (or is it she?) is here and here. Surely there are other winsome poppets out there?
Kirsty Nicol, East Lothian, Scotland

As I didn't do at all well on the History Quiz, I thought I'd go for a pedantry prize instead... clocks in Bristol are not set faster than those in London - a day is still the same length of time. They're just set earlier. A clock only runs fast when it is continually gaining time.
Joe, Folkestone, UK

Now I know what word to use so chavs don't know what I'm talking about.
Ismay Woods, Newtownards, Co Down, Northern Ireland

I was wondering whats all the fuss was about of Purple Potatoes? A few years ago in one of the daily papers they were offering a victorian breed of potato which happened to be purple. I purchased some potatoes and grew them. and ate them and no difference was noticed apart from the "Ooh they're a different colour". Novelty sells.
Mandy C, Stoke, Staffordshire

Please, Dan Wilkinson (Thursday's letters), if you are going to give your full interstellar address do get it right - you missed out "Solar System". Otherwise you could be mistaken for the Dan Wilkinson living on the Planet Earth in some other star system in our Galaxy.
Fiona Craig, London, UK
