Nothing which will really bum you out, but enough to put me on a bit of a downer...
Was quite upset to hear that one of the professors who taught when I was at Medical School had died last week. Most readers will have come across Prof John Henry, who was probably Britain's foremost Toxicologist & Poisons expert, advising the government on quite a few high profile cases (... as well as answering Ali G's questions about drugs). He was a really nice man too & will be sadly missed by a large number of people.
Two weeks on, my car's still in Critical Care waiting for a new valve (or something).
Disappointment on the Funny Foot front:
Hello from Walls, Thank you for your recent E-mail.
Unfortunately, the product has been discontinued. You may find a few remaining items in store but Unilever has decided to discontinue the item due to low levels of demand. Please accept my apolgies for any disappointment that this may cause.
I suppose it is looking more likely that the job application system might become a little more fair - although the current solution of "we'll still give out most of the jobs our way, but we'll go back to the old system for round 2 to fill the last few training jobs and the remaining ten thousand doctors will have to look for something else" is not really there yet.
My interview went OK (although no-one even wanted to look at the beautifulwine list portfolio I've spent ages creating) - and I did get to see my mum for the first time in months & take her out for lunch afterwards.
And it is the weekend...
Oh well, mustn't grumble.
