There's always a suspicion that the many of the letters to agony aunts are invented, and this is a pretty good case. It just doesn't ring true to me. A line like I’m all for democratising the orgasm, but am I even needed in the bedroom any more? doesn't sound like something someone would write to a problem page.
I might be wrong. I often am, and have no experience of writing or answering letters to agony aunts.

Not any regular person writing to a tabloid problem page maybe, but it sounds fairly authentic in the voice of a Guardian-reading man - or at least the Viz-style stereotype of one.

look at the post again. it is about death and leaving stuff to people. and the caption 'happy monday' might i have thought conveyed why i put it in the guardian down pan thread. the clues are all there.

So there should be no talk of depressing stuff on Mondays?

in the current climate i think that would be for the best especially as mondays are depressing enough anyway

I read this article which is about efforts to get magic mushrooms reclassified:
amp.theguardian.com
Crispin Blunt is one of the MPs advocating this and this is the photo of him they chose to accompany the article:

Can a socialist find common ground with someone who doesn’t believe in government?

Olly's probably on these boards. Maybe he can pop in and explain it.

This, about Manchester United since the departure of Alex Ferguson, is a load of waffle. To be concise, it's saying they haven't been quite as successful since the most successful manager in British club history left.
