• Be careful what you step on for that cockroach might just be me
I am fond of animals, though I wouldn't like to be one. Most religions offer varieties of punishment to sinners.

• Banks still call the shots as the rest of us are left to foot the bill
I hear rumours that The Financial Times is about to change its name to the Financial Crimes.
