Regarding the record £43m Chinese vase: "A posting on the auctioneer's blog said: "It is a masterpiece. If only it could talk." They want the moon on a stick! I'm sure if it could talk it would be worth even more than £43m, but can't they be satisfied with the astronomical amount it sold for without wishing for the vase to possess magical features as well?

Nomination for worst sentence on the website today: "But was Sir Winston really such a utilitarian - the philosophical term given to those who strive to bring about the greatest gain for the greatest number, even though that means making painful sacrifices?"

To Dennis (Thursday letters), what about the success of being the sixth richest nation in the world (by GDP according to the World Bank).

Objection! Whilst very funny, "amuse-pooch" is quite clearly a pun, m'lud. Hmmm, but what could the Magazine Monitor possibly do to provide Monitorites with an outlet for all these excellent puns...
