12th Dec – got my feet on holy ground.

Yes, I know. The eagerly awaited next instalment re: what happened to the odious Iain Bon-Bon Collings is coming. In the meantime, please accept a commercial break. It helps keep the whole enterprise running, and hopefully, will enrich at least one of our loyal readers. We salute each and everyone of you, including those, who by an accident of birth ended up supporting Man City, and Scotland. That’s some double pal. We are a broad church, and we love you Ted Nickleby, and all your fam.

The scientists at Dickie White Enterprises have come up with an ingenious spangram. Take a look below. Unlike other “common” spangrams, ours reuses letters. In it, one of the letters is never used, while another is used more than all the others. If you can “solve” the spangram, AND identify those two letters, all you have to do is get your entry in first, and specify a prize that begins with the letters in question. For example: please can I have a dinner date with a Depraved Imbecile -if, say, those letters were D & I -which they ain’t. To the usual email please.

Today’s hint: coming home (for Christmas)
