Âé¶¹´«Ã½

Letter: Name of the feast

Published 2 January 2008

From Alan Potter

I’ve never written a thesis. I’ve never pretended to create cold fusion. Even with your help, I still don’t understand string theory. I don’t have a PhD (I don’t even have an A-level). I will never have another amusing thing to send to you, and in any case this letter will probably disappear into a quantum something-or-other.

I’ve had my one chance of fame in Âé¶¹´«Ã½ and it was cruelly torn from me at the last moment. I had a little mention in Feedback (1 December 2007) and you spelled my name wrong!
