Carpe diem
I talk often about ideas and theories relating to time and space, and the fact that each moment we have lives on in the universe forever, if we could just find a way to move backwards and sideways in time, and I do believe that. I never however lose track of the harsh facts though [...]

Do you want to be my gravatar?

Saving bacon in the Falklands
I was watching a documentary on the Falklands Conflict today today – the story from the perspective of the british medical core there – who did an outstanding job treating both English and Argentinian wounded. There was one story that really stuck in my mind – of when they had to handle the wounded from [...]
