Why would he want to trim his Hillamn Imp? It won't look like a Lambo.

Dear Drago,

For nearly forty years, I have been suffering from a recurring nightmare.

I keep dreaming that I squandered a big lead and then missed a black ball in the deciding frame of the Embassy World Snooker Championship, and lost to some guy with glasses that looked like a garden gnome. I think he was called Taylor.

Every morning, I wake up in a cold sweat.

I know it couldn't possibly have happened. He could never beat me. It just isn't possible.

How can I rid myself of this nightmare? It is really gnawing away at my happiness.

Yours faithfully,
Mr. Steve Davis

It could be worse, you could be a ginger.

Dear Sean,

Fear not. Taylor Swift is neither a geezer, nor a snookerist.

He has a 14 inch schlong and a Lamborghini.

The two are mutually exclusive.

Dear Coach Draggy

Apologies if I'm a bit out of breath as I type this, but you see, I'm running down the left wing, towards Jerries goal, and, ... and, there are some people on the pitch, ..... they think that it's all over!

What should I do?

Dear Jeffrey Hurt,

Shout "two world wars and a world cup", and proudly wave your Nigel Farage flag.

Dear Uncle Drago,
I guess I am what you would call a high achiever. It is true I come from a wealthy background, but it is also true that I am a successful businessman in my own right. I am a philanthropist; my field is crime prevention. With no false modesty, I am a highly capable and driven man. Recently, however, I have experienced moments when I suddenly feel ridiculous, like I am outside myself, observing myself. Everything I wear has a function, and there is a reason for the motif. As a businessman, I understand the importance of a strong brand. Most of the time I feel what I dedicate my free time to is important, at least as important as my work. But I have moments when I feel like I am playing a silly game, with the same opponents coming around again and again. True, it is a game I usually win, but a game in which the winning is not the point. It is moments like these when I wonder whether I should leave crime prevention to the law enforcement bodies whose responsibility it is. Instead I could run for office and, if elected, reduce crime by improving mental health services, increasing feelings of community in neighbourhoods, spreading best practices from around the world, and looking into the nitty-gritty of the societal problems that lead to crime and into what could be done to alleviate them. Less fun than what I do now, with a less immediate gratification of knowing you have made a difference, but with greater long-term impact.
