I've removed this reference to HJRS and "do the needful." I have The Magnet series (going back to its first issue in 1908), but I can't seem to find Hurree Jamset Ram Singh (of the Billy Bunter "Famous Five") using the expression "do the needful." Not sure who inserted this factoid, but it seems to turn up only on Wikipedia or its mirror sites. I'll keep looking though ... Fowler&fowler«Talk» 22:05, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
If you really want to make a real article out of this, you could try combining it with phrases such as "I have a doubt," and "Can you suggest me?"

How so? The OED one redirects to what seems to be a subscriber-only page (I don't know our policy on that) but the NYT search results one is okay. 69.111.79.119 (talk) 22:26, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
