None of the famous musicians who chose their favourite Bob Dylan songs (24 May) mentioned Like a Rolling Stone, the single song that jolted a generation from acoustic cosiness into electric edginess. The track’s opening drumbeat still sends shivers down my spine 56 years later.

• “The university told the Guardian only two subjects – history and geography – would no longer be taught” … “‘Overall there has been very little change’, a spokesperson said” (London South Bank University staff sound alarm over drop in courses, 25 May). History and geography – time and space, the coordinates of the human condition!

• Kenneth Ball asks how he can get included in either Other Lives or the Birthdays column (Letters, 27 May). The answers he seeks are: 1) Die, but first make sure a friend will send in an obit on your behalf. If he is stuck for an obit writer, I don’t mind having a go; 2) Get famouser, while still alive.

• Not to be forgotten on the road into Chester, the pub sign “Good food except Mondays” (Letters, 27 May).

• I once saw a board outside a pub in Scotland which bore the legend “Children served hot inside”.
