looks like the London Times has a new agony aunt. one with a penchant for snark...

My mother-in-law, who is 87, has suffered from age-related hair loss for a number of years... she was eventually persuaded, by her family, of the merits of a wig. I am terrified of her next visit... What would be the better approach: “Your wig looks nice,” or: “Your hair looks nice”?

“Lovely hat.”

or this advice on romance:

...the person I am in love with is oblivious to the fact that I even like him... how does one go about telling someone of one’s affections?
AP, by e-mail

Keep quiet. Why spoil an idyllic relationship? Carry on beatifically floating through a haze of idealised romance.

To a certain extent, that second one is actually true. Sometimes, it's far better to shove your heart down behind the sofa cushions than to wear it on your sleeve and ruin the daydreams of what might happen... :P

Indeed! Maybe Miss Snark has taken up a new profession...
