And I suppose I should point out that this is a joke, just
in case anybody out there believes me. I gather you only have to say ‘a Martian
ate my hamster’ on the internet these days and the sale of security devices for
small cages skyrockets overnight.

And on a related note, I’m told that the owners of a Vietnamese
restaurant in Ashbourne have put a notice in their window to the effect that,
contrary to uninformed belief and in an attempt to ameliorate their fear of
abuse, they are not Chinese. And it’s interesting that I saw no Chinese people
wandering the streets of the town freely today. Might I be permitted to
suspect that some people are not quite as sensible as they ought to be?
