I spent this morning teaching the anatomy of the female breast to medical students. We teach them in small groups that rotate from teacher to teacher, so I repeated my “lesson” 4 times. Why then, in 2 of those sessions did the word “intercostal” vanish from my brain? No, I wasn’t distracted. It’s a perfectly…

People moan when the clocks go back, mostly I suppose because it indicates the onset of winter, cold, wet days & long dark nights. Me, I like it. I leave the house early to cycle to work, so when the clocks go back I get up when it’s light again, which is much nicer. I…

Aaah crap. My PDA is dead, no sign of life whatsoever. And Orange have locked my phone because they didn’t take my direct debit. I reckon that lottery ticket might have been jumping the gun somewhat.

Simon Pegg, star and writer of the Spaced series and Shaun of the Dead, will be alongside Tom Cruise in the next Mission Impossible film. Apparently. I’m not sure. This rings a little close to an old BBC interview he gave once where he mentioned exactly that film… By the way, when you watch Land…

You know you use computers too much when you’re filling in a form with a pencil and when you’re about to leave it you look for the “save” icon. Like I just did. When writing in my lab book I look for red squiggles to appear beneath words when I’m not sure of their spelling…
