   as regards the case of Mr Read who was found guilty of causing actual bodily harm to his wife on three seperate occasions...and was fined £2,000 because he was too busy to do a community service order...I was left speechless.

   Why don't we have a register of people who assault their partners?These people (almost entirely men) are often serially violent to a series of partners who don't know about their violent past, the other traumatised women and children.
   Given that domestic violence is such a serious matter, the provision of a list might protect some women, at least.
   Recorder Featherby, the judge in the case, doesn't seem to understand how awful it is to live with a violent partner.Maybe someone should tell him.

   Crikey! I wouldn't leave that lying around the studio too long, Eddie! Green or not, it looks like it's worth a quid or two.

   Stewart M;
   So is this one

   and it's one of the largest cut diamonds in existence.

   Diamonds are always given romantic sounding names. So why is there no 'Star of Bognor' then? Or 'Koh-i-Stockport'. If it makes its way to this country after sale might it become the 'Paddington Green'?

   It'll be fascinating to see what becomes of it if it's genuine. The Cullinan (current record holder for a rough diamond) was less than half this weight. When the worlds finest cutter finally make the first split he had studied it for over six months. He had a doctor and a nurse present at the event and having made the blow to split it he promptly fainted without seeing the results of his craft (it was a success!).

   Personally I'm sceptical, but that's me all over....

    On a flight to Paris last year I found myself sitting next to a very elegant woman wearing the largest, most stunning diamond ring I'd ever seen. I asked her about it.

    "This is the Alphonse diamond," she said. "It is beautiful, but there is a terrible curse that goes with it."

    "What's the curse?" I asked

    "Mr. Alphonse"

    Why did they lay it out on a serviette? Surely with a gem like that they could have afforded a square of velvet. Oh, and a ruler.

    Gillian: Could it be growth hormone, do you suppose?
