Creativity: One for the woad after a pitch invasion at Euro 96 BC.

"This Euro 96 thing is taking up a whole month of the sporting calendar," Stuart Cockerill complains. "Wouldn't it be simpler to stick all 16 teams in the middle of Stonehenge, allocate each a pair of goalposts and leave them to get on with it for 90 minutes or so? The victorious manager could then preside over the ritual slaughter of the vanquished and we'd all be home before sunrise."

Both Stephen Leeke and G Marshall point out that Stonehenge was originally built when England hosted Euro 1996 BC. There is some dispute, however, about whether its primary function was as goalposts or a barrier to prevent Druids from invading the pitch to celebrate the summer solstice. Mr Marshall has the alternative suggestion that it may be the ruins of an early attempt to build a British Library.

Apart from football, several contributors suggested dominoes and a few mentioned croquet. None more elegantly than John Brewer:

"Stonehenge should not a circle make,

Nor cage-like, view the dawn.

Stone hoops, once put up by mistake

Should grace a croquet lawn."

Len Clarke tells us that Stonehenge was originally built and used as a clapper bridge until they discovered the nearest river was miles away. This ties in well with B E Penson's suggestion: "aqueduct for Yorkshire Water."

Ideas in brief: Monument to the unknown architect (Nigel Plevin); seat of open government, when we get it (Eric Adams); bottle-opener for 200 foot bottles (Tony Blades); test track for Institute of Advanced Motorists driving exam (John V Smith); place some of the bigger megaliths in swimming pools to save water (Norman Foster); finish it and roof it for a Flintstones World Heritage Theme Park Fun Experience (Geoffrey Langley); paint it yellow and use it as a bus station (Ciarn Ryan); educational building blocks for giant toddlers (Tom Gibbs).

"Tidy it up a bit," says Mary Flavin, "plate glass the spaces between the stones and turn it into a roadside caff cum shrine selling 'One for the Woad' T-shirts." Mollie Caird can make ecologically friendly miniature heritage experience models of stonehenge from last week's avocado stones.

Prizes to Gary Marshall, B E Penson and Mary Flavin. We apologise, incidentally, to M A Higgs, one of last week's winners, who turns out to be a Ms not a Mr, despite coming from Birmingham.

Next week, sunshine. Meanwhile, does anyone have any ideas what we can do with spiral staircases? Ideas to: Creativity, the Independent, 1 Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London E14 5DL. Chambers Guide to Grammar and Usage prizes for the ones we like best.
