If a ghost suddenly materialised at your dinner table, what would you give it to eat? I doubt if that’s a question which has ever troubled you; but, if it has, the much respected academic journal “The Beano” has an answer (or does anyone here know it?) Yes: you could give them “Spook-hetti” although, if they were Hungarian ghosts, they might prefer a nice bowl of “Ghoul-ash” with death cap mushrooms (the recipe’s online)!

Calling himself an “Old Bailey hack”, constantly browbeaten by his wife Hilda whom he calls “she who must be obeyed”, addicted to fried breakfasts, small cigars and cheap red wine, and generally looking dishevelled in a crumpled old suit, he nevertheless has a sharp mind and loves nothing more than pricking the pomposity of High Court judges. He prides himself on his extensive knowledge of bloodstains and typewriters and excels at cross-examining his witnesses.
