The editor of the Guardian is diplomatically respectful in his interview with Eric Schmidt, allowing him to condemn himself in his own words ("He ridicules the leaders of Libya, Tunisia and Egypt, past or present"). But how could he not pose a question on the environmental limits of the "robotisation of the future", which Schmidt so graphically describes? If everyone has face recognition in their spectacles, we'll need another three planets to supply the minerals.

When I stopped laughing at the idea of an automated closet, I realised I'd seen it before: Wallace and Gromit! Er, no thanks, I'll continue rummaging in my wardrobe myself. I'd be too embarrassed to let Schmidt see inside.

For his next project, would Michael Freedland consider a cookbook for those of late middle age? The problem for me (and, perhaps, other men) is that my wife is a far better cook, and goes to more trouble. As a bachelor for 14 years, I devised a cook-it-all-in-one-stir-fry-type-pan-and-slide-it-all-on-to-one-plate-to-save-washing-up cuisine, which is clearly not acceptable.

Many witnesses are challenged with the notion they are not telling the truth; almost all are challenged so as to suggest they are wrong . This article examined one facet of the criminal justice system in isolation, yet tried to describe it as unique. That's unhelpful if we are to examine dispassionately how to improve it. I'm proud that, in our system, every defendant is still innocent until proven guilty, and that includes the defendants accused of allegations that may appal.

Lucy Mangan's Here's Why I Won't Forget Maggie In A Hurry should be written on a huge banner and displayed outside St Paul's Cathedral. She summed up everything the Tories want us to forget in a few words.

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's recipes "showcase just three of my current favourite English cheeses". The first uses "Perl Las, a creamy, sweet organic blue made in Carmarthenshire". Last time I checked, Carmarthenshire was in Wales.

After the Literary Agent's What I'm Really Thinking, isn't it time to rename the column Boo-Hoo?

Question from Megan: why does it get colder as you go up a mountain? Answer from Sir Ranulph Fiennes: haven't a clue, but every time I go up one, bits of me fall off.

Every time I turn to Your View, I find myself two minutes later rummaging through the recycling bag to find last week's magazine. Solution: keep all Weekend magazines for a fortnight.
