Sir,

Cameron rebuked by OBR for quoting the fairies he is away with
After a complaint from the independent Office for Budget Responsibility yesterday, the Coalition has sought to disprove that David Cameron said that black was white and misquoted the OBR.
A Coalition spokesman today made it 'absolutely clear' that Mr Cameron has not been telling any lies, fibs or porkies, but merely adhering to a new Coalition lexicon to standardise political statements.

Upon realising that this weekend th...
Living on £1 a day, by Sir Geoffrey Mansionhouse
During the course of one of our legendary chats at my local gentleman's club, my chum Lord Percy made me a bet that I could not refuse. Namely, that I could live off £1 a day for a week.
"Nonsense," I replied. "Why, one could buy 50 pints of milk at that price!"
I admit that I had not researched the subject thoroughly and my milk comment was slightly off. Usually my butler and partner Jeeve...

The Sign Of Ophiuchus
I had been an astrologer for very many years, diligently generating predictions from the ancient charts for both private clients and national periodicals.
For much of that time, however, I had harboured an unspoken suspicion that something was not quite right. It seemed to me that predictions were frequently inaccurate - in fact they were nearly always completely wrong.
I had, nevertheless,...

Useless signs - part 2
As I continue to wander round this green and pleasant land, I have seen many a sign. These are normally yellow and inform me that the reason it's taking ages to get anywhere, is because there is a lane closed in Birmingham. Most signs are useful. They provide important information, such as if you drive round the next bend at your current speed, you will fly off the edge of a cliff and discover if...
Why do the French refuse to adopt the foot?
It is a question which has confused generations. Why do the French insist on continuing to use their strange outdated measurements such as the kilometre, the gram and the snail?
It seems to be arrogance which prevents them from adopting the British Imperial System, with its far more logical conversions - 12 barleycorns to the hand, 3 hands to the foot, 3 feet to the yard, and 1760 yards to the...
