Update from 25/12-2012: On Christmas day Yulia was born, on twelfth night our next little one arrives. What are the odds she's called Viola? (PS: note to Andy from Friday's letter, twelfth is pronounced with the full four consontant cluster)

How about 'fourths', 'fifths' or 'sevenths'? Or if you fancy a five-consonant cluster, there's always 'eighths'.

What about a commerorative 50p with one side left blank, for those of us who aren't the slightest bit interested in the Olympics? I'd get my trainers - but I don't have any!

Searching for the most expensive train journey - I'm pretty sure it is the Northern Line between Embankment and Charring Cross. Being 180m apart and a single cash fare on the Underground being £4.30 it works out at £38.45 / mile. Granted you'd probably not do that as a commute...

First off, why is a 300 year-old house causing problems on sat navs? I can't help thinking that a map "fix" rather than a map "update" is needed! Second off, when it costs £50 per year to keep tom-tom maps up to date the problem will only be slightly reduced by updating maps - virtually nobody will get them!

So, Black's has gone into administration? Now I suppose we'll be subjected to a barrage of "Now is the winter ..." comments (well, you could hardly call them jokes). I'll get my tent.

Never mind if or not ... does anyone know what it actually means?

Sake? What on earth would Rabbie Burns be doing with "sake" anyway? I thought he would be more of a uisge beatha drinker!
