When I first watched this great sketch by Mitchell & Webb, I thought it was just a fun way to demonstrate how ludicrous homœopathy is:However, now that David Cameron has appointed Jeremy Hunt -- who believes in homœopathy -- to Health Secretary for England, I'm somewhat worried that a typical England A&E will look like this soon.I must say I'm...

Den nuværende dille med at nedlægge de små sygehuse og erstatte dem med nybyggede supersygehuse er en international tendens, ikke kun en dansk.Jeg vil spå, at om en årrække vil det blive set som en af vor tids største fiaskoer.Idéen om at samle specialerne, så fx hjertekirurgerne kan operere på hjerter hele tiden i stedet for et par gange om...

Nearly a month ago, I wrote on Facebook: “I’ve decided to try a variation on Movember: Instead of starting with a clean-shaven face and then growing a moustache, I’m starting with a normal one (after removing the bottom half of my goatee) and will try to make a beautiful Dalí-style one out of it during November.”
It’s St. Andrew’s Day today, which marks the end of Movember, so my moustache will disappear at bedtime tonight.
At least I managed to make it curly, but I’m afraid it’s not nearly as impressive as Dalí’s — I guess that takes much longer to achieve. I could probably have made it longer if I had known exactly how to grow it, though — I erroneously trimmed it too much in the middle and too little on the sides. At least I’ll know next time! 
Anyway, the amount of bonding that happens amongst Mo Brothers is amazing, so if you’ve never tried it, please do so next year.

Gyms are generally priced in a way that makes sense if you visit them several times a week, but if you like me just want to do fifteen minutes once a week, they're horribly overpriced.I spent the past week in Paris (or rather, Champs sur Marne) with Phyllis, Marcel, Charlotte, Léon, Anna and Amaia; I was working the entire week at a local company while Phyllis dragged the kids round Paris.One day we noticed a tiny open-air gym on our...

For somebody who's not colourblind, it can be a bit hard to understand how the world looks if you are.However, I've just discovered there are now sites that can help.For instance, here is the same photo of Anna processed in three different ways by Colour Blindness Simulator:From left to right, that's the original, then the way it's seen by people...

Som jeg sikkert har nævnt tidligere, skal Phyllis efter planen føde den 9. januar.Det betyder, at afstanden fra skambenet til toppen af livmoderen gerne skulle være 28-29 cm.Men da de målte hende i dag til et rutinetjek, var afstanden 34...

The Scotsman claims today that the government is planning to vaccinate the entire UK population against swine flu.That might turn out to be a wise decision, but I'm a bit concerned about the timescale:The last people won't get their flu...
