Professor

The Queen owns all the swans in UK and one of my friends has found one with a broken wing. Will the Queen foot the vet's bill and whom does one apply to?

Her teeth look good to me - in fact too good, so are they the genuine thing. I don't mean "has she paid for them?" but are they natural.

I have a friend who I have known since student days and I am accustomed to telephoning him a few times a week. He rarely telephones me as I think he begrudges the cost although we both live in UK but he is careful with his money. He is unmarried, lives on his own, retired and not gay.

He often thanks me for phoning but how do I know he welcomes the call. It is a bit direct to ask and he won't answer truthfully

After a long wait I have a hearing aid for each ear from the NHS which are excellent but I need to tweak one of them up a bit. Don't suggest going back to the NHS as it took me nearly four years to get them. They look very simple and each one has a small plastic 'door' which if I could get this off might house a screw that I could turn. Any ideas please as I don't want to break them. I am fairly handy with tools.

I should also like to know the minimum it requires to keep it living. We seem to have a lot of scientists on this section so lets hear you.

I am referring to couples in a double bed. Do you sleep on the left or the right as viewed from the headboard? My wife favours the right wherever we sleep.

A car reverses into my car. No damage to my car but the other car before hitting my car has hit a wall on its other side and its bad. Other driver won't talk to me or exchange details and drives off with passenger who later is shown to be an off duty policeman. Driver reports me for not giving details and says I have driven into his car. Police come and charge me with 'not reporting' but suddenly the whole thing is cancelled on an exchange of insurance details. My witness is not contacted. Police suddenly very nice to me. There is far more to it but these are the base details and I am not happy with the honesty of the police concerned. What should I do? I feel I am obliged for the good of all to do something to flush out the baddies as I am sure most police are very honest.

Nitrogen is by far the main gas in the atmosphere whilst CO2 is only a few parts per million so it would not be a huge increase of nitrogen to nullify any increase in CO2. I am assuming that you believe it would be a good thing to have colder world.

I really do not know so don't bad mouth me for asking this. I am trying to understand if we can really can control the climate.

The scene: You are staying at a friends apartment but he is away. There is only one bed. He has told you to share it with his wife. Would you share it? Would you keep to to your side? What would you do? ( she is French and naked)

They live together and more than 50% Brit Kids are born to unmarried parents. Is it tax? Is it not wanting to share worldly goods? What is it?

Burning, say, leaves in the garden seems, to me, to be the same process as letting them rot except it is accelerated by heat. Are the same gases produced and in the same quantities for each process?

What I am trying to ascertain is do you try and give the world a different image of you than is probably true. For example I seem to have a kink that I dress below what I imagine myself to be and skulk around in tee shirt and shorts. I think I do this because I prefer people to "under" rather than "over estimate" me. But what do you do and for what reason?

Diderot said this a few years ago and I am just repeating it. What do you think?

I have been caught out a few times by assuming my answer was for a Brit and often isn't the same for our friends across the pond.

It is very old and the wood isn't up to much but the gold seems OK. It weighs in at nearly 2000 troy ounces

Under what circumstances would you steal?

Is it by agreement with the artist when I buy it? Or do I automatically buy the copyright of that work when I buy a painting? It is English law I am interested in.

I ask this for the obvious Catholic connection
