Back in the "I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again" era you were part of the team who set the world record for telling fish jokes in one minute. Can you remember any of them? (I can!)

Dear Bill Oddie,
In 1976 you wrote a song on the Nothing To Do With Us" LP, "Synthesier Man", which contained the lines "On the village green all the ravers scream to the sinful rhthyms of the drum machine" Did you ihave an overlooked role in the innvention of british synthpop and rave?

Dear bill oddie. Do you still have rooms in your house devoted to Prince and Kid Creole & the coconuts, as featured in a documentary about you in the 1990s?

Dearest Mr. Oddie. Being a life-long appreciator of your oeuvre, I have always been frustrated that you have never been recognized for, in 1975, writing & recording the first ever record to feature a rap, namely "Funky gibbon", as opposed to the usual nomination of Sugarhill gangs' "Rappers delight" of four years later!
Don't you think you have been criminally overlooked as the inventor of this world-wide phenomena, and do you think this has any basis in the inverted snobbery that wants to perpetuate its inception as a product of the working class Bronx rather than that of an alumnus of Cambridge university?

dear bill oddie,i have always respected your work,especially for conservation,and as a forty year old male,i owe you a great deal for some of the best side spitting comedy ever.But on a more serious note,i could really use your help to start a project that makes chicken out look minor in comparrison (no dissrespect intended,those boys are doing a fantastic job).please could you reply to my post and sound my idea out ,and decide if you will get involved.ps.. i,m not some animal rights activist or a member of any crackpot party,i think my idea,s will at least leave you thinking i was worth talking to.can,t say much on here.

Dear Bill. do you consider the 'menage-a-trois' homoerotic elements of The Goodies were a continuance of the vein that prevailed in British comedy tradition throughout the 70's, beginning with Morecambe & Wise?

Would you consider the use of a giant fluffy kitten attached to the Post Office Tower as part of a joint BBC TV/British Telecom publicity campain to be appropriate use of licence payer's money?
If not, why not? Seems a good idea to me and Ive only just come up with the idea.
(Yeah, OK , I got the basic idea from some old TV show...)

Where have all the large butterflies gone? I live in south Yorkshire and summer 2006 there were Peacock, Red Admiral and painted lady butterflies everywhere. I am in my sixties and never ever remember seeing so many. NOW 2007 2008 NONE AT ALL. I haven not seen one this last two years. Plenty of cabbage whites, but thats all. Where have they gone, will they return, and why have they gone? I did wonder if it was all the rain we have had this last two summers, floods in our town last year. Could that be the reason?
