This post advocated joyriding around the BBC ‘Have Your Say’ messageboards for no constructive purpose. Someone already has been. He shall remain nameless, so long as you look away from the screen NOW: vote corn, vote fed, vote pig.

This raises several troubling questions, chief among them: since he can't recommend his posts himself, who the hell are these people who do?


Can high-fliers improve adult education?

Industry and public sector high-fliers are to be urged to develop closer links with England’s further education colleges in a bid to improve adult skills, particularly among the under 25s.

Dr Miles: As a doctor I would be happy to add my knowledge. However I would be unhappy if any of the students attempted surgery at home, that's simply unsafe. Some things should be left to the experts.

Will sex consent adverts be successful?

An advertisment campaign, warning men that having sex without consent could lead to a prison sentence, has been launched by the Home Office.

Dr Miles: I always ensure that a woman has consented to sex by ensuring that she is well paid for the transaction.

No doubt the government will soon tax sex as well - another example of rip off Britain!

Are you worried by water shortages?

The Environment Agency, together with eight south-east water companies, have launched a customer advice website, Beat The Drought. The move follows a decision by six companies, including Thames Water, to ban hosepipes. Two more companies may force householders to install water meters.

Dr Miles: For the whole of our married life my wife and I got all of our water from a well on our own property, and I suggest other readers do the same. However, I would suggest an automated mechanism for raising the water. I am too old to manage it on my own, and my wife recently died of cholera.

How can trust in the political process be restored?

Public trust is being damaged due to the way alleged misconduct by ministers is policed, says the Committee for Standards in Public Life.

Dr Miles: All politicians are answerable to the electorate, and therefore they should be voted out on a weekly basis, like in that Big Brothers show on the ITV. Then new members could come in and do a bit, although I for one wouldn't want Dennis Rodman running the country.

Has the severe weather affected you?

Have you been affected by the severe conditions? What plans are you making for the wintry conditions? Send us your comments and experiences.

Dr Miles: I am snowed in, which has led to me being unable to get to the pub. Thank goodness it will be open later so that I can enjoy a drink later on to warm up! Down with the nanny state!

As Britain faces a shortfall in energy supply in the near future, what can be done to bridge the gap?

A panel of 150 experts from all sectors of the energy field says fossil fuels will remain the dominant source, with renewables expanding and nuclear power almost certainly needed.

Dr Miles: I would suggest that we build nuclear reactors in third world countries and compensate them for the health risk. Or maybe on Mars, although getting the power back from there could be a bit trickier.

Why are boys falling behind?

Why do you think boys are not doing as well as girls in "the three Rs"?

Dr Miles: This is undoubtedly due to the emphasis placed on sport, both on tv and in the media at large.

I for one would rather have an unhealthy but intelligent child who lived a short, full life rather than a healthy stupid one who lived a futile life of stupidity.

It is my life's aim to get a letter into the Metro.

The BBC's Have Your Say pages are a disgrace. And guess what? You're paying for it.

If Mr. C. Pig can managed to start a full-blown pie/tart argument on one of these threads, I'll supply him with several boxes of Maltesers. In a pie flan of some sort.

This is just a stealth tax imposed on decent British families. In fact it's worse than that, as only honest families will even pay their licence fee - I bet Mr Bliars doesn't even cough up for that!

And I for one wouldn't mind a free trip to Australia - another example of the fat cat culture that New Labour has cooked up.

It's almost disturibng how easily and accurately you can write this sort of thing. It must be a result of all those trendy teaching methods back in the 1970s.

It's a game. You just use a few key phrases and the rest writes itself:

"I for one", "stealth tax", "New Labour mafia", "tax on tax", "send them all home", "I pay my taxes", "why should I have to subsidise", "British taxpayer", "decent, honest homeowners", "gay mafia", "death by taxation", "another example of rip off Britain", "paying for it once through taxation and again via ....", "why not divert lottery money to pay for", "a waste of taxpayers money", "something must be done"

For example:

"I for one object to this new stealth tax. Why should honest homeowners have to subsidise this nonsense? Something must be done to prevent the New Labour mafia from bringing this in against the will of the majority of law abiding citizens. It's just another example of rip off Britain."
