Professor John Cunningham is - is it really possible to "specialise in general medicine" without appearing oxymoronic?

Friday is the 60th nanniversary of the real Dr's WHO - the World Health Organisation. Does this mean they all retire and ?

brought back a horrible memory for me. About 10 years ago there was a city centre event in Bristol, where the various public services had put on informative and entertaining displays of their areas of activity. The police and fire services had staged a road traffic accident in a side street, involving a motor cyclist and a truck. It was very realistic, with paramedics attending to the injured motorcyclist, and police and fire crews doing what they do. So I moved in close and took lots of photos. Soon the awful truth dawned on me, and I scuttled away, red-faced, to let them get on with their job.

So, the using a mirror and the sun. I hope they finish the crosswords before they set light to them.

Why do strung sausages give Louis Theroux a "farmyard feeling" ()? Does he imagine they are reared that way, little conjoined sacks of meat frolicking in pens?

Re *Thought* to be? You mean there could actually be a couple of these things roaming around, as yet unnoticed? Maybe I will close that window tonight.

That credit crunch is certainly having an effect on the banks in the United States. Apparently the used "sperm purchased from a bank". Barclays, take note. It's the coming thing.

Why the fuss about the ? He was born a woman and kept his womb etc, so why the shock in the fact he's pregnant?

It is heartening to read in the (1 out of 7 if you're asking) that the lost luggage being sent to Milan for sorting is travelling by lorry. Perhaps the best decision made there all week.

I'm a bit worried about Ken Livingstone's quote. He doesn't exclude the dead.
Michael Hall, Croydon, UK
What a classic quote of the day! I would imagine most people would use "or" rather than "and", but each to their own, I guess.
Ed, Clacton, UK
Thanks for "more about today's quote". But when, oh when, are we going to have "more about today's mini-quiz"? Please please please? (I have asked before, and will continue asking until Monitor admits it's a great idea.)

Surely even if the caption competition is not here we could have a picture with comments underneath? I enjoyed the alligator picture and wished for a huge list of 200+ witty comments (and 12 not funny ones) as in days gone by.

Re . Is it really necessary on the photo to say that Cage is the one on the left? I know Kathleen Turner played a drag queen in Friends, but I think most people would work out that Nicolas is the male and Kathleen is the female.
