- BBC News – How Richard Feynman went from stirring jelly to a Nobel Prize
I'm currently reading The Secret Life of Birds by Colin Tudge. In it, he asks how anyone could possibly fail to be fascinated by nature – how anyone could not look at the world around them and just marvel and then want to understand why and how. The same motives drove Feynman and it is something that I identify with. There is so much for an enquiring mind – and those minds that are both enquiring and rigorous can be brilliant, like Feynman.

Back to the annual hunt for a room in Essen in the last week of January. I was chatting with my parents' neighbour the other day. He had visited Essen in the past. Around 1943, at the controls of a Wellington bomber.

- BBC – Paul Fletcher: The hopes and fears of football’s free agents
Whilst life might be full of fast cars and faster women for the ovr-paid primadonnas of the Premiership, life is not quite such a bed of roses at the business end of football.

Fun information for plant health geeks. This is the plant health equivalent of ambulance chasing or using a police scanner.

- Nokia E52
How interesting. Nokia will sell me an E52 with a new T-Mobile tariff. But T-Mobile refuse to offer it to me as an upgrade from my E51 on my existing tariff, or even with a tariff change. Considering that I was recently described by one of their customer service bods as "a premium, high-spending customer" (typical bill is £35 or more), I find their approach to customer retention to be pretty shoddy.

It would be good to get to some of these – maybe the net sheds in Hastings or Bishop Otter College in Chichester.
