"Darfaydar"? It took a long while to figure out what Jessie J was talking about in this article. I weep for the future.

So Airbus estimates it has sold more than 700 A320neo jets so far. Now, I could understand, if for example, Mrs Miggins had estimated that she had sold more than 700 pies, but surely, in such a safety critical industry, a manufacturer should be able to accurately count its crate sales.

"...could the blue creatures offer a model for society?" I hope not. There was only one smurfette. How that all worked out has been a source of much debate through many people's growing years.

Of course we should model society on the Smurfs. I've been telling people that until I'm blue in the face.

Lewis (Wednesday's Letters), I'm also guessing the penguin is male. He is on Peka Peka beach. Sounds like nominative determinism, fnaar fnaar!
