Observation

Recently, I've been noticing how quickly you've been printing my (and presumably everyone else's) letters.

Kudos to you for this, WLW, or whatever your name is.

In other news, the cat that comes into our house just coughed, and a little bit of sick came up. Coincidence?

Your cat's been sick, Topper? Hold the front page!

Drivers

Why is it that, when the sign says 40 miles per hour and one is moving along the road in one's automobile travelling in said speed, there's always some smart-alec wiseguy to overtake you?

Isn't that what's called breaking the speed limit and subsequently, the law? Or is their 40 miles per hour different than mine?

40 miles per hour? What does that mean? I live in London, remember.

RIP, Les Paul

I'd like to pay tribute to Les Paul, the great-grandfather of rock & roll. Leaving aside his virtuosity as a great guitarist, Les was a pioneer of multi-track recording.

People tend to overlook this, with other seminal producers like George Martin and Brian Wilson given too much credit for the development of the recording studio as an instrument. I hope Les' achievements will be acknowledged in future. Joe O'Connor

Let The Verve be a lesson to you

The Verve's latest split is both a shame and unsurprising. I thought Forth was OK. Some of the songs like Noise Epic sounded like a jam jar, in the case of Rather Be, something from Richard Ashcroft's solo albums.

The split should be a lesson to bands who are contemplating reforming: it rarely works. They should only reform if they have a score to settle, rather than because the last singer's last solo album went belly up. Ted Robinson

Joey Jordison (Slipknot): Mini Babybel. Little, adorable, my fave.

Kaiser becomes a stone?

I agree with Earls that it's morally dubious of Ricky Wilson to play a rock star dating a schoolgirl played by Sarah Harding in the new St Trinian's film. On the other hand, the experience should give him a good chance of landing the lead role in the mooted new biopic of bill wyman. DJ Gordy

Sorry to be pedantic, I think you'll find that the letter you referred to did not mention that you actually had no charisma. The letter was open to interpretation, and the interpretation you got was from your own mind.

The joy of 7 Worlds Collide

The 7 Worls Collide gig at London Dingwalls on Tuesday was a sheer joy, especially in such a small venue, and it was all for Oxfam. Get their album The Sun Came Out on August 31- all new songs by Neil Finn with Johnny Marr, Wilco, KT Tunstall, Liam Finn and Radiohead's Phil Selway and Ed O'Brien.

As well as being the best melody writer around, Finn is a great frontman for the band. Here's hoping the line-up tours the UK one day. Adam Samuels

More Les Paul tributes

Les Paul was a genius. Not only was he the inventor of one of the greatest (and heaviest) electric guitars ever built, but he also invented many things in recording such as multi-tracking. He lived to a great age at 94, but there are some people who you wish could live forever. RIP. SJD

A true legend, a true innovator- RIP Les Paul. His death actually warrants the kind of media coverage that Michael Jackson got. Gulliver

I have noticed a sudden fashion among the townie population for none other than string vests.

I imagine The Brigadier wears a string vest, but townie girls? It's as wrong as a fashion for flat caps. It's like they're talking my Grandad as a style icon.

However, it gets worse. Next thing I knew I was taking my friends at uni when the right hand of my thumb and the right hand of my index finger decided to enter into a two hour thumb war contest, rendering my entire future obsolete. Scary stuff.

Kerry Clonetona

Whilst jiving in the basement, I heard some spooky noise coming from the old wardrobe. I walked over and pulled the handle. All I could see was seven corpuscles of light, 58 signed pictures of Kerry Katona, and the hazard lights from my old car. The funny thing was, I only had 43 pictures of Kerry. DUN-DUN-DAAAAAA!!!

I am worried about all the dreams I have been having recently. All my friends kept turning into animals. In one dream, my friend and I were playing badminton and every time she hit the shuttlecock, she made duck noises. Then she started hitting me with her racket while chasing me round the sports hall.

Then, in a puff of smoke, she turned into a duck and flew away. What does it mean, WLW?

Moo! It's the advert song awards. Here's our favourite at Hector's House: Yum yum it's Country Life/ You can't put a better bit/ Of butter on your knife/ If you haven't any in, have a word with your wife/ And spread it on your toast in the morning.
Juicy Strawberry, Hector's House

I've always been partial to the shake and vac- put that freshness back!

Some towns don't deserve any gigs

Some towns don't deserve to have bands playing there. After a well-attended show in Bristol- and with their great album Dance Mother getting good reviews- Telepathe played a good gig to just 35 people at Derby Royal last Tuesday. It was only £7. Support live music, you muppets. Anelan

Adam's letter about 7 Worlds Collide's gig summed up what I'll miss about The Void- sharing the moment of a great show we couldn't all get to. Gazzoir

Cactus Conundrum

So I can't help noticing that Oasis are running some adverts starring The Cactus Kid, who runs away with the girl who claims not to need water.

Never mind the plot or the product, I'm more concerned about Catcus Kid's parentage. Would anyone care to explain to me exactly how he was conceived?

With great difficulty, I'd imagine.
