Eagle-eyed viewers of EastEnders have been left scratching their heads after spotting Archie Mitchell standing at the back of his own funeral. Archie’s murder on Christmas Day – he was bludgeoned, quaintly, with a bust of Queen Victoria – has been the source of much buy cialis in riyadh excitement but maybe he’s not as dead as we thought. A BBC spokesman explains: “It’s true that he was there. Sadly we can’t claim it was a sophisticated Hitchcockian joke. Larry just happened to be on set that day and joined in as an extra.”

Final turn of the screw

Here’s a bit of fun, for which I thank my excellent friend Tony Piper. It’s a self-boring coffin, hermetically sealed, with built-in flower and flag receptacle. Two people can (er, theoretically) screw it into place like a capstan. It was patented in 2007, since when there seems to have been little uptake (wrong noun, surely?).

Like all the best ideas, it is limpidly beautiful. Contemplate the detailed plans here.
