Letters to the Editor

Cheers for Piers

Re: Your 'Piers Watch' column (in this case 're' means 'regarding', not 'reply'. God Damn this internet thingy)

::clap clap clap clap clap clap::

BRAVO! ENCORE! ENCORE!

The funniest thing Piers ever said was around New Years of this year. He said, "This year, try to keep an open mind".

OPEN MIND?!? PIERS AKERMAN?!?

Of course, what he meant to say was, 'believe in the same things I do without question', so all is well in the world.

Keep up the good work.
