Madam, - When I picked up my copy of your newspaper on Monday I thought to myself: "Why do I continue to buy this paper after about 50 years? Can I live without Kevin Myers and the crossword? But Kevin Myers has no column on Mondays so perhaps I should not buy the paper on Mondays.
You must have sensed my mood and devised your fiendish plan to hook me for another 50 years. It may never happen again, but I shall keep on buying your paper in the hope that some day you might repeat another gem from Mark Steyn and one from John Waters. God bless ye merry, gentlemen. - Yours, etc.,
MONTY ROSS, Loftus Square, Rathfarnham Gate, Dublin 14.
