It’s good to see the variety of entertainment available at the Royal Albert Hall expanding (More rice, bigger chairs and reinforced toilets: sumo wrestling comes to London, 15 October). I know little about sumo wrestling, but I assume it’s not over till the fat man falls?

• Perhaps King Charles can show he is a true monarch of the people by appointing one of his subjects from Yorkshire as a replacement Duke of York (Prince Andrew gives up royal titles including Duke of York after ‘discussion with king’, 17 October). May I nominate David Hockney or Alan Bennett?

• It’s a minor point regarding Simon Jenkins’ column on the royal family (16 October), but I’d hardly call an eight-bedroom, Grade II-listed Georgian mansion in Windsor Great Park and prospective home of the future king a “modest house”.

• Is this a new benchmark for shortest time in big jobs (Ange Postecoglou sacked by Nottingham Forest after 40 days as head coach, 18 October)? Has “Doing a Postecoglou” now replaced “Doing a Truss”?

• A whole article about narcissistic personality disorder (15 October) without mentioning Donald Trump?

• Should the sun have been shining out of his arse (Trump hates this ‘super bad’ photo of him in Time magazine. I almost feel sympathy … almost, 15 October)?
