If Dennis has a black friend now I hope they can go to Abyssinia and see the homeland of Gnasher's Abysinnian Wire-Haired tripe hound breed.

In the papers last week they showed the 26 new ten pence pieces, one for each letter of the alphabet. I have a letter in today's Daily Mail suggesting the B coin should have been for the Beano rather than James Bond especially as it celebrates its eightieth birthday this year.

Didn't want to start a new topic.

As a long-time reader of The Guardian, the only time I read the Daily Mail is when I visit my ex-wife's house in St. Ives. I have just rung her to ask her to save today's letters page for me. She has agreed but I did have to explain why. She's probably thinking though that I've gone off my trolley.

My letter was edited to about two thirds it's original length. I wonder if there are any special 80th birthday celebrations planned? Lew?

I haven't been out yet but apparently I have a letter in today's Metro as well. Different subject though. Friend just texted me.

I was joke of the day in the Daily Star text maniacs column a couple of weeks ago with the following original joke. What's the difference between a biscuit with currants and Kim Jong Un? One's a fruit shortcake and the other's a short fruitcake.

They don't tell us anything I'm afraid. Big Eggo is back this week though.

You would think they would considering they did for The Dandy.

I'm sure they will celebrate it but what I meant is I've no idea what they have planned.

There are.
