Response from Boots about homeopathy.

I emailed Boots to express concern over their marketing of homeopathy
as a legitimate treatment. This is their response.

"Thank you for taking the time to contact us regarding your concerns
over the retail of Homeopathic and Alternative remedies.

At Boots we take our responsibilities as the leading Pharmacy-led
Health & Beauty retailer in the UK very seriously and as part of this
we're committed to providing our customers with a wide range of
healthcare products to suit their individual needs. We know that many
people believe in the benefits of complementary medicines and we aim
to offer the products we know our customers want.

Our Pharmacists are trained healthcare professionals and are on hand
to offer advice on the safe use of complementary medicines. The Royal
Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain issues guidance to pharmacists
on the correct selling of homoeopathy, which our pharmacists adhere
to. We would support the call for scientific research and evidence
gathering on the efficacy of homoeopathic medicines as this would help
our patients and customers make informed choices about using
homoeopathic medicines

We take the concerns of all of our customers very seriously and we
thank you for the time you have taken to give us this feedback.
Please be assured that I have shared your comments with our Healthcare
and Pharmacy teams."

New version of True by Spandau Ballet

	Hi, I just used Shazam to discover True by Spandau Ballet and thought it was rubbish compared to the original. Why did they bother?

There I was, trying to do some work when these carol singers invaded. Bah!

Pedalling cadence

I'm often quite surprised to see people either struggling to ride their bike in a too-high gear, or spinning away like mad in a too-low gear. Just heading hobw from work and I passed two boys spinning like mad, then they passed me, then I passed them, etc. Finally I escaped.
But it does make me winder if riding a bike isn't as intuitive as I thought it was.

It's far too early for Creme Eggs

Dear WRVS shop, Creme Eggs come *after* Christmas, OK?

Magic Mouse

Yes, it's just a mouse. But look atvthat box it comes in, how great is that? Apple's attention to detail, not the least in packaging, is one of the reasons I went for a Mac in the first place. I bought a 3rd gen iPod which I thought was great and quickly followed it up with a 3G iBook. I'd never even used one, I just knew I'd like it. Now I'm on my 3rd Mac, an iPhone and a few iPods through the years. No regrets at all. No other company seems to make the things I want and certainly no one makes them as pretty as Apple do.

Smoke filled C130

Another RAF reserves weekend, another bit of fun - this time we got in the Hercules simulator and had a go at setting it up for patients, then they filled it with smoke so we could have a go at escaping.
Woo, I get paid for this!
