Dear Drago,
I had a bit of an accident recently and I am wondering if I should look for some compensation.
You see, I sat on a wall, and I had great fall and broke a few things. There was no warning signs telling me it was dangerous to sit on the wall. Surely, that is a bit negligent?
Furthermore, when I went to get medical treatment for my injuries, I found myself being treated by all the King's horses and all the King's men and they couldn't put me together again.
Surely that is medical incompetence and why are there no doctors and nurses in the hospital? Why am I being treated by horses in the first place? Surely I have a case against the hospital for such negligence as employing horses rather than trained medical staff. Although, I must admit the horses seem more intelligent than the King's men, but their bedside manner is a little unpredictable.
Do you think I would have a good case? Can you recommend a suitable solicitor?
Yours faithfully,
Mr. H. Dumpty
Dear Humpy,
Your brains have been well and truly scrambled it you think you have a case. A hard boiled solicitor will eat you alive in court, and that's no yolk. You'd do better to shell out yourself and remain whiter than white.
Dear Uncle Dragmaga
In my undiluted wish to look like my hero, the great Donny Boy Trump(er), I may have overdone the tanning machine.
I now look like I've been permanently tangoed.
Can you help.

Dear Exalted lookalike,
Just roll with it. Next thing you know you'll be marrying a supermodel and porking a porn star.
Could be worse. You could be Democrat where the only chick's that show an interest will be the chubby interns.
Dear Uncle Drago,
I think there comes a point when you have to accept that your hopes and dreams are unrealistic, and that if one is not to waste one's youth, it is better to redirect one's energies on more achievable targets. This is particularly true when your ambitions are reliant on the actions of others, over whom you have no control. Therefore I decided, reluctantly, to give up my dreams of me and Lily James. I thought I had a chance when she broke up with Matt Smith of the new Doctor Who fame. Not my favourite Doctor Who, who was Jon Pertwee, but still one of the better Whos from the new series. I have heard since that she broke up with the bass player of a music band called Queens of the Stone Age, which do not sound like my sort of thing. Nevertheless I have decided to let her go, after trying one last thing. It occurred to me that her last two steady boyfriends were in show business, and that if I could somehow get my foot in the door in the showbiz world I would stand a better chance. With that in mind I have joined an amateur dramatics group. We are staging a production of 'Run for your Wife' in Esher, Surrey, where I hope her mother still lives. I am playing Detective Sergeant Troughton. BTW, Patrick Troughton was another favourite Doctor Who. Lily James strikes me as a dutiful daughter who would visit her old mother. I have fly-posted advertisements for the show all over town. It would be strange, with her family's interest in show business, if neither of them suggested coming to see us. I hope I do not freeze if she decides to meet us backstage. I have yet to work out what to say to her.
Dear hopeless loser,
You're correct, this Lily James does like a showbiz type. If you can get even a bit part in the upcoming Aylesbury AmDram Society's forthcoming stage show based upon Dixon of Dock Green then she'll be all over you like a Labour MP all over an expenses docket or a Tory MP over a directorship.
A word of advice though. Probably best to get in there prior to her forthcoming fight with Mike Tyson. You may not find her so alluring the following day.
