How many other people saw Village People: The secret gift shop at Number 10 and had visions of Gordon Brown selling copies of YMCA ?
Paul Greggor, London

It's Monday morning and I'm confused already. A fairground punchbag hit a man in the face after he punched it, so he punched it again and has been fined for breaking it. Can somebody explain why the fairground operator wasn't fined for having dangerous equipment and why he isn't trying to get his money back from whoever sold him a 1,950 euro punch bag that breaks when people punch it? I thought the deal with punchbags was that you punched them and they didn't (a) fight back or (b) get injured.

Once more, headline promises but story disappoints somewhat: Colombia kills drug baron hippo.

I'll get my (glossy) coat.

I note the Magazine is available on both Twitter and Facebook. Does the Monitor have any comment regarding the news that these two are combining with YouTube to create a new networking site called YouTwitFace.com?
