Lena Dunham isn't just "the voice of her generation", she's the voice of any generation. Her musings on death were equal parts hilarious, humane and moving.

Dunham = emperor's new clothes. Get over your obsession with her.

Looking through James Mollisons's photographs, I was struck by how similar each image was. Children are children are children the world over: the same games, groupings and kinds of relationships. Compelling, fascinating and refreshing.

I would like to think there is a quick-fix exercise to increase willpower and self-control, but the reality of human brain functioning is a lot more complicated. I find that keeping a long-term goal in mind, and working towards it in a small way every day, can help realise your ambitions. The Marshmallow Test seems a little silly, to be honest.

I enjoyed Sophie Heawood's account of the plight of the "endie", and recognised the symptom of no disposable income. With so many readers now on a shoestring, how about fashion pages with more realistic prices? Of course I'd like a £245 sweatshirt from Christopher Kane, but my money's disappeared on rent.

Was the trade union officer paid by the Daily Mail? Yes, a small minority of members try it on, but a bogus allegation will soon become obvious if the officer is any good. We need unions more than ever in these days of race-to-the-bottom wages, zero-hours contracts and employer intimidation and tax evasion.

Like those who can't run more than 10m yet watch athletics, I'm addicted to restaurant reviews, but Marina O'Loughlin's are getting a bit much: "It comes with blobs of glossy beet emulsion and mandolined chioggia, a decorative vegetable that, like romanesco, makes me think a higher being might exist". Any chance of a glossary?

Teresa Cooper points out that Serena Williams could beat only 99.99999174% of men on the planet. Bet Williams is disappointed by that.

Maria Bassey shows that it is possible to improve our surroundings if we work together. What an inspiration.
