Dear Agony Auntie,

I have three arms, but that hasn't stopped me from wanting to become an international porn star. I'm not sure how to get started though.

My ex-boyfriend is a complete creep and I'm sure would share photos of me all over the internet to get revenge - if only he had any. Should I send him some anonymously in the hope that he does this? Or do you think he'd be more likely to get revenge by fastening them to a dart board?

Finally, can you 'airbrush' out a third arm using Photoshop Elements 2?

The effects of music on plant growth

We've known for ages that music helps plants to grow, and even proper scientists what with their grubby white coats, tests tubes, labs, Cat scans and stuff don't really know why. However, not everyone's so sure. Fergus Tiptop of Penge has written:

'Someone told me that playing music to plants makes them grow better, but actually it's a load of codswallop. I've tried talking to plants and that doesn't work either. Why, I was making encouraging noises to my vegetable patch and even playing it highlights from Beethoven's 5th - when my neighbours called the police. I thought it might work better with indoor plants but I'm having problems parking a 45' privet hedge in my living room. Once again, the so-called experts get it wrong!'

However, Delphinia Spragg from Pratt's Bottom has a different perspective on this issue:

'Not only can music make plants grow better, but I'm convinced that music can turn people into plants. My 17-year-old listens to that awful music through his headphones during all two of his waking hours and is looking more and more like a cabbage every day!'

Work in Progress!

The best place to hide a tree is in the forest, so they say, and I found that the easy-to-use software which would have stored all the bloggy stuff wouldn't actually work on my new (to me) mac - so here is the entire Palace, stored to a new spot!

I know - it looks really grim at the moment and I'll gradually be putting the furniture in place. But normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.

SHOCK!!! HORROR!!! Puflet Palace to Close!

After all these years, and all that sort of thing - the moment I can save all the content to a PDF and stash it in a corner somewhere - it's going to vanish from the ether.

****FFFFTTTtttt****

Just like that!
