Years ago, i remember looking at death rates and there was a drop around 2010-2020 which was explained by the people who would have been dying at that time hadn't been born due to the low birth rates during WW2!

Well I'm probably misremembering Freakonomics but I think they once claimed that a late-20th century drop in US crime was due to potential criminals not being born when the abortion laws changed about 20 years earlier.

Googled that, that's utterly disgusting. Not got that.
On googling eczema it's not nice, but mine's of the more gentle variety.

So I am opting for the "not nice" one rather than the "utterly disgusting".

I suspect that the images you see on the net are the worst cases. I had a little patch once that grew until diagnosed properly, but it didn't spread that much and responded to the correct treatment quickly.

Edit: I just looked at the images - yukky -mine didn't look like that. Mine could have been mistaken for an open blister that wasn't healing.

That is incredibly nice, but I should be ok. I think I have found somewhere, have exchanged multiple (and lengthy) messages with someone, and I think we are on the verge of agreeing. If all else fails I will find a B+B for a few weeks and look whilst I am in the area (it isn't great trying to look when you're not that close and don't have your own car).

If any of the NP have a back-up job on the other hand... :rotfl:

I have a job going but the salary is only 18k and it's only 6 months :rotfl: the joy of being in science

LOL ... for £18k I'd be out in a Ninja outfit at dawn, slashing the tyres of other candidates so they can't get to interview

the problem is rent in brighton is astronomical. a room in a shared house is £450+bills+council tax and then you have to pay transport.
Parking costs £30 a month.

But I only have this much funding so I can't pay more as I need someone for 6 months to finish a project

I am going to see some puppies today. I love puppies.

So, any one else agree the star of the millibars speech was the red and cream top just to the left?


Parents and I are disagreeing though, whether it's owls or cats. It's either a kitty on each titty or (this is dreadful, forgive me,). Tit two.

For the benefit of anyone wondering what on earth lir was talking about (I certainly was):

I think cats - I think they have tails

If you still have a job at the end of October and I find I don't have one, I might just take you up on that :rotfl:
