Tortuous arguments

As the US introduces new legislation that effectively allows politicians to define what constitutes torture as it suits them, and a recent survey by the BBC shows increasing public support for abuse of suspects, I thought I'd point you in the direction of an interesting discussion on the subject.

Terrifying

This article from the Register says a lot about how I feel terrorism is being judged currently in this country.

My son on TV

I'm not grooming him for a career in television, but he's started anyway. Go to BBC London TV and Radio and follow the link to Nursing to be cut in Barnet.
Oh yes, and the missus is on there too.
It's an important story, so worth watching, if parochial.

Preoccupations

Paul Hunter gave generously to neuroendocrine tumour charities. He wasn't even 28.
I'm sick of being sick: bloody diminished neutrophils. Can't walk down the street without feeling knackered.
Like Paul Hunter, I can't do my job properly on the treatment. Unlike Paul Hunter, the interferon should be less intrusive and I should have fewer metastases. I hope to find the interferon working miracles so I can get back to my normal self.
I also hope Hunter's popularity draws some extra attention and resources a largely unknown problem.
