Tom doesn't seem too bothered by this presenter's disability, although I've caught myself staring at her arm. But our main concern is that she and her new co-presenter (Alex) are a bit drippy and just not as good as Chris and Pui. Mind you, Pui always struck us as a bit grumpy without too much empathy for kids.

Did you know that the EHIC (the fancy plastic replacement for the old E-111) expires after a short period of time? No? Perhaps you ought to check the date on that card in your wallet (or the bottom of the drawer with the passports – wherever you keep it). You might, as I did, get an unpleasant surprise. In any case, you can renew your own card, that of your partner/spouse and those of any dependent children using one easy form at this website.

Marketing puff, err, sorry, serious scientific research about the benefits of plants in the office. (Actually, there really are benefits, not just in terms of air quality).

via Gordon. Colour me sceptical. Research has shown that *any* plant will improve air quality in an office and the most recent research has suggested that Spathiphyllum (Peace Lily to you) is the most effective of all. Mind you, I think the research was funded by the Spathiphyllum Growers Association. In general, the benefits extend beyond air quality – a green space is generally a pleasant space. My advice: go for palms and the like because the are generally easy to look after, withstand neglect/abuse and don't mind the low light conditions that often exist in an office.

Possibly just the thing for our conservatory roof to replace the existing, malfunctioning and energy-inefficient conventional fairy lights (all 160 bulbs of them!).

This is good, although it doesn't really help commuters. Re-opening the Uckfield-Lewes line – now that would be good.

Surely, isn't any crackdown that doesn't investigate efficacy of treatment meaningless? When will somebody really take on these charlatans?

I'm rendered speechless.
Moo.

Amazing! In TWO exciting colours! Brown AND White!!!!!! This site is great – just check out the hyperbole.
