Our official line
Danielle Ward answers some more of your questions...
Eddie from 'The North' asks:
Danielle: I'd say cheer up you big loser. At least you didn't cry like Mark Allen. What an embarrassment.
MB in London asks two questions:
Danielle: I think you have to have sex to have a baby. Whoever told you eating bananas was the way to conceive was misleading you.
Danielle: To celebrate St George slaying the dragon I will be attempting to get into a fight with someone Welsh.
Marc from Surrey asks:
Danielle: Teachers + lots of holiday - (any respect or dignity x knife violence) = my opinion.
Lee from Derbyshire asks:
Danielle: There are three tax bands. 10%, 22% and 40% and depending on how much you earn, you are taxed accordingly. Unless you are very rich in which case you can avoid paying it altogether.
Eddie from 'The North' asks:
"Would Danielle like to offer some words of encouragement to Stephen Lee, who is considering quitting snooker? He would be a great loss to the sport as he is by some margin the fattest player on the circuit."
Danielle: I'd say cheer up you big loser. At least you didn't cry like Mark Allen. What an embarrassment.
MB in London asks two questions:
"Apparently if you eat bananas for breakfast you are more likely to give birth to a boy. What do you get if you eat Coco Pops?"
Danielle: I think you have to have sex to have a baby. Whoever told you eating bananas was the way to conceive was misleading you.
"How are you celebrating St George's Day?"
Danielle: To celebrate St George slaying the dragon I will be attempting to get into a fight with someone Welsh.
Marc from Surrey asks:
"What do you think of the teacher's strike planned for tomorrow (remember to show your workings)?"
Danielle: Teachers + lots of holiday - (any respect or dignity x knife violence) = my opinion.
Lee from Derbyshire asks:
"I still have no clue what the 10p tax rate is, can you explain it in a way that a human can understand?"
Danielle: There are three tax bands. 10%, 22% and 40% and depending on how much you earn, you are taxed accordingly. Unless you are very rich in which case you can avoid paying it altogether.
Cereals: some research
David Wateracre (a Scorpio) suggested this story from The Guardian.
It seems research from the Universities of Exeter and Oxford published today has found that even breakfast affects pregnant ladies:
The world's cereal companies have been carefully monitoring the research, and Glee has received a copy of the survey they had ready to bombard the tabloids with if the results had said anything bad about eating breakfast cereal.
++ PRESS RELEASE ++
++ EMBARGOED UNTIL MIDNIGHT 23-04-2008 ++
WOMEN WOULD MOST LIKE TO SLEEP WITH TONY THE TIGER, SURVEY REVEALS
The breakfast cereal mascot that most British women would like to enjoy a night of passion with is Tony The Frosties Tiger, a survey has revealed.
The irreprisible feline avatar topped a poll, pipping rivals The Honey Monster and Coco, the Coco Pops Monkey.
The scientific research, sponsored by the manufacturers of healthy and nutritious breakfast cereals International Pharmological Chemofoods-Kerosene Inc., has been welcomed by Mr Tiger, who said "I make women feel grrrrrrrrreat."
The results in full are:
1. Tony The Tiger
2. The Honey Monster
3. Crackle
4. Coco The Monkey
5. The Honey Loops Bee
6. The Corn Flakes Hen
7. Pop
8. The Quaker Oats Quaker
9. Snap / Golden Graham [tie]
10. All Bran's "Mr Regular"
NOTES FOR EDITORS: The research was carried out between 1600 and 1630HRS on Tuesday April 22nd, and over 9 women were polled. Breakfast cereal is good for you and certainly better than grapefruits or smoothies. Hi-res pictures of various cereal mascots available on request to fill your lovely pages with, also images of Maxim's Hometown Hotties leering provocatively at Tony The Tiger.
