• When are you going to publish a collected edition of Michele Hanson’s wise, brilliant and amusing Tuesday columns (A certain age)? I’m sure there must be a market of the masses of readers for whom her column is the highlight of the G2 week.

• St Johnstone reached – and won – their first ever Scottish Cup final in 2014, 130 years after they were formed (Chicago celebrates as Cubs end 108-year wait for World Series win, 3 November; Letters, 7 November).
