Your Letters

A for his stereo blaring out "Christmas rap". It makes more sense if you assume that, in all the noise, he misheard the accusation.

I am not a smoker, but . They've been forced outside, away from their ashtrays and now they'll be fined for littering. Yes, cigarette butts in the street are unsightly and unhygienic. But they're a lot easier to clean up than chewing gum.
Caroline Brown, Rochester, UK

made me laugh - if you give false details they will fine you Β£1,000. So how are they going to find you...

Re : I don't understand how this can be a problem. If you are daft enough to accept every single friend request that comes your way, regardless of who that person may be, then, as these doctors have found, you will find yourself the target of creepy advances and total strangers finding out personal information about you. I find it preposterous that guidelines are being set out for supposedly intelligent medical professionals when all they need to do is click "ignore" when creepy patients request to be friends. Facebook should not be a popularity/friend collecting contest and I would expect doctors would know this. Sheesh!
Martin, Aubrey

People may be googling google (Tuesday letters) to check the hypothesis in the IT Crowd that "if you type google into google, you'll break the internet". I tried it myself.

You don't have to go to the Google webpage to do a google search. Many browsers have built-in or add-on search boxes. If the user has one of these and wants to go to www.google.com (or .co.uk) it's quicker to type "google" into the search box and then click on the result that comes up than it is to type "www.google.com" into the URL area. As to why someone would need to go to the google webpage if they have a search bar...
I'll get my emote :)

Why is it 'may limit lifespan' that's been put between the quote marks in ? 'Men's genes may limit lifespan', Men's 'genes' may limit lifespan, or any other variation... they add nothing and are utterly pointless. Bah humbug.
Kingsley, Bath

Re fvdfzsrsazxzzxcvbnmadgfhjjkqwrty (Quote of the Day).
At first glance, thought it might have been Welsh.
