That's really nice Mark...I also like the composition...the tree on the left...the bushes on the right...and the subtle colours. Lovely.

If his interest lay with speeding motorists, then I'm sure he would have started a thread on such...but his interest at present is with statins etc.

Slightly off topic but Thalidomide is still being used...on sufferers of leprosy.

Well, that's it then: Gordon Brown has authorised the introduction of these scanners in the UK http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8438355.stm. Frankly, I do not believe they will reduce queues at airports and whilst they may detect certain types of bomb-making equipment at the beginning, I think the terrorists will remain one step ahead and find ways of beating them (swallowing bomb-making liquids and powders in the same way as "mules" swallow hard drugs?). Remember the introduction of "chip and pin"? That was supposed to stop ID fraud...did it heck!

I would definitely be interested in attending something like this...the medical profession have been trying to put me on statins for years...and, like PeckhamRose, I have been really obstinate in refusing. Yes my total cholesterol level is high...nearly 8..(hey, I like chocolate and refuse to give it up!!). But these figures shouldn't be the whole story...as, I am sure you are aware, there are two types of cholesterol (LDL/HDL) and it is the ratio between the two that is of more significance than the the actual total figure. But many people in the medical profession don't seem to take this or other factors into account. It's maddening. And as for statins themselves, I believe people are right to be cautious...there are many undesirable side effects to these. This is a bit like the anti-depressants story...feel down?...have an anti-depressant?...have a pain?...take another anti-depressant...can't sleep?...more anti-depressants...got a boil on your bum?.....

EXCELLENT! Hadn't heard that one for years! Thank you. Right...back to dinner, before hubby files for divorce! Oh...just one teeny one more...again from those Mighty Gems (I do love them): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XC7CatrXWUs&feature=related. Enjoy back! PS: you realise we have a serious addiction here... (*big giggle*)
