Once more I am drawn to London this time to celebrate someone's birthday, that someone being the oldest friend I have going back to 1966. Once again I went the cheapo way via Megabus from Bristol for the princely sum of £2.99 on the outward journey and £3.99 on the return journey. My friend kindly put me up at the Premier Inn in Hampstead about which I have written many times. This trip I don't...

We are surrounded by so much information that we have very little opportunity to digest it, draw out the relevant bits for our development, and install them in our mind. About six pm this evening I was reminded of an excellent talk by the scientific and medical...
Kilmersdon punches above its weight (again)
