Glad you're feeling better, Simon. Last week must have been tough.

You have two new fans of American Week; Anthony and Sally. They're based in New Brunswick, Canada, and they really look forward to Fridays, though it sounds like they'll have to wait a while for the next instalment.

Happy New Year!

I wonder if CBT would help to reduce the effects of electro-magnetic interference on our DAB radio? At certain times of the day (usually times of higher electricity use) it's unable to function properly. 😉

What a great man he was. What a huge loss to us all.

I was never sure about GC. Then I met him and his wife on a trip to the UK. We had a chat. I am less sure about him now, and much less sure about his wife. She inadvertently let slip things that made me very sceptical about their motives.

Then, this statement from National Breast Cancer Foundation which appears to be on the same myth-busting mission as Cancer Research UK:

'While carrying your cell phone in your bra may not be the most comfortable choice, it does not cause breast cancer'

Carrying a phone in your bra can cause breast cancer, myth?
While carrying your cell phone in your bra may not be the most comfortable choice, it does not cause breast cancer.

On the one hand, there's this:

'As many as 40 percent of females in college environments place their cell phone in their bra....
....Many surgeons agree that women should stop storing cell phones next to their breasts because this practice could cause cancer.'

I like the presentation. An excellent read, (and quite worrying).
