tories, eh?

[//\/\/]

jesus, getting back to the past with job cuts and tax-breaks (one for poor, one for rich, go figure the order) the tories have now taken to, almost literally, putting the lunatics (http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2010/jun/26/conservatives-health-select-committee) in charge of the asylum.

a man on a health committee who believes that blood doesn't clot under a full moon?!:eek: if this wasn't serious, i'd be laughing my arse off.

sadly :(

I had a moment thinking about this the other day. was just chilling at a pub here in the uk and I was talking with the cook. he told me he had a microbiology degree. "same as the bartender, right Rus?" the silent giant behind the bar just nodding while making a mojito. I mean what kind of a world is this anyway? I don't care if they aren't phd's put some money towards lab work, cure cancer for fuck's sake.

rog is the last person you want serving drinks. they'd never make it to the table :)

AND....i'll taste test them first for you to ensure they're suitable for human consumption:p

strangely enough i'm a microbilogist too and i cant spell for fuk:eek:
