Yeah Waz, I took it to the local Natural History Museum. It enjoyed that so I"m taking it to a poker tournament next.
It"s true - they"re not that rare, though most are found in Morocco or US and a few other places, but not Portsmouth. Of course, it might not be native - someone could have brought it from America and lost it or it might have escaped and got lost in the garden. All the ones on that link are stuck to rock, whereas mine is free to move about. I don"t know if that makes it more or less special, probably neither.
I thought the museum would be straight on the phone to London, saying that they had the most amazing discovery in history. Instead, they took some photos and said "enjoy your fossil". They emailed me a few days later to confirm that it"s a Calymene, for those who are well up on Trilobites.

Dear John
I have been given the job of representing Wales at an event in Stoke on Friday.
Part of this role seems to be that I have to wear Welsh colours. This would normally be a great thing but last time I tried to enter a casino wearing a Welsh football top I was refused entry due to being drunk (which I am fairly sure I wasn"t). Further inspection of the facts seem to reveal that said Welsh top may have been the cause of me not being allowed on the premise.
With this in mind I am concerned that the team will not be allowed to compete in the said colours, and I believe it may be a cunning plan to prevent Wales winning the event, can you help me with what to do here as I seem to be in a bit of a pickle.
Many thanks
Red, Green and Glory

Dear Red, Green and Glory,
I have spoken to the casino management and it appears that any such offending clothing will only be made available to your upon entering the casino on the first occasion.
Clearly, the casino cannot restrict your entry on the grounds of something you MIGHT wear although being Welsh it"s quite likely that you will be wearing something objectionable anyway.
Just don"t sneak outside for a break, though.
Yours,
John.

Dear John,
I have been a regular reader of your blog for some time and wanted to thank you for what I consider an interesting and informative read.
I am concerned however that recently your standard of reply has dropped significantly. Please reassure me that you haven"t delegated the task of replying to your readers to some administrator. It would be such a shame if your recent fame and fortune has made you lose sight of those who look up to you.
Yours,
A fan.

Dear A
Delegation and outsourcing are part of the modern environment and there is very little we can (or should) do to slow their continued expansion. When you place a contract, the actual work is rarely undertaken by the principal you place it with. This is not the first time that a question on this thread has been answered by someone else and I am happy for this to continue. There are still some unanswered questions if you go back a couple of pages. Why not pick one and answer it yourself?
John
