Reading the first paragraph from the Grammys story "Troubled singer Amy Winehouse has been showered with glory by the prestigious Grammy Awards, winning five prizes - despite being absent from the ceremony." This leads me to ask the question: How many awards ceremonies strip winners of their awards because they don't turn up? (And to that, how generous of the Grammy Awards to let her keep them "despite" her not turning up...)
Tom Webb, Epsom, UK

'Sexercise' yourself into shape - Can I get this on prescription?

The 10 things photo is labelled pints but on closer inspection surely it's jars of marmalade? Wishful thinking on a Friday afternoon perhaps...

Re today's random stat: I don't find that at all surprising. I remember once reading somewhere that one of the main reasons why couples argue on holiday is because men think that they are free of their everyday chores, and therefore have more time to have sex. Women, on the other hand, believe that holidays are a time to get away from the everyday chores such as having sex. A destination which is supposed to be a favourite place for "romance" is hardly going to help matters, is it?
Adam, London, UK

Never mind guessing the PM's gender... what about its nationality? I've been blithely reading PM in a British accent, but perhaps an American twang would be more appropriate. Pop Tart indeed.
Sophie, London, UK

Yet another great surname/story link from our local news.

If new blue smarties are coloured with colour derived from seaweed why aren't they green?

Re: Letters, Friday. Surely the only thing sadder than wasting time discussing the pronounciation of the Lim Dem meteorite expert's name is wasting time writing in to complain about it?
Rory, Grimsby

Re: A Point of View Isn't it ironic that Joseph Bazalgette was responsible for removing sewage whereas his descendant Peter is responsible for introducing it in the form of Big Brother?
Stuart, Croydon
