EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: Should Prince William use tech to assist baldness?
As Princes William and Edward can attest, with the King and Harry wanly nodding in agreement, baldness is rife among male members of the Royal Family.
Now fashionable coiffeur Nicky Clarke wants William and his sparsely-furred relatives to tackle their hereditary male pattern baldness.

BBC Radio 2 flibbertigibbet Zoe Ball appealed on her Breakfast Show for listeners to contribute to the station’s careers week.
‘Phone if you have the most obscure job,’ gushed Zoe, pictured. ‘Tell us what your careers officer told you at school.’
What followed was a remarkable absence of further requests to get in touch.
Zoe had discovered Radio 2 wasn’t hosting careers week, but carers week. Doh!

Beatles aide Tony Bramwell, who has died aged 78, once asked Paul McCartney to quash rumours that he died by leaving his remote farm in Scotland and attending a press conference.
He refused. Bramwell then telephoned a well-known American disc jockey and told him live on air, in his best Liverpool accent: ‘This is Paul McCartney. As you can hear, I’m alive and kicking.’

Martin Amis’s teenage lover Tina Brown, paying tribute to him at a St Martin-in-the-Fields memorial service, recalls first meeting the London Fields author’s curmudgeonly father Kingsley.
‘It was a terrifying test you had to pass. All that Kingsley said about me, apparently, was, ‘Nice t**s’.’
