We should get back to the old days of Eurovision, when the winning songs were always called something like Bing-a-bang-a-bong, Ding-a-dang-a-dong or Clang-a-dang-a-ding-dong. Next year we should enter a song with just noises in the title. And we should get someone whose name is also noises, like Lulu, Kajagoogoo or Chumbawumba to perform it. Mr Jism, Yeovil

'Why do birds suddenly appear, every time you are near?' sang Karen Carpenter in 1970. As a seagull stole my battered sausage in St Ives in 2004, I can entirely sympathise. I was thinking of writing a song about the event too, possibly called 'that fucker stole my saveloy' Hunter Palmer, Bude
