A win for me in the "dealing with difficult people" competition. How would I know anything about that subject? This next comp seems to require quite a bit of familiarity with the Staggers, and with at least one other British periodical. (Well, the rubric doesn't say explicitly that the "any other publication" has to be British, but that's probably what's expected.)

In the NS of 13 February, subscriber of the week Candy Morris said she would like to see “a guest-editor swap with Private Eye”. Could we have a regular item in the NS written by the editor of any other publication (eg, First Thoughts by Peter Wilby written by the editor of Horse and Hound or Down and Out in London by Nicholas Lezard reworked by the editor of Cage and Aviary Birds).
