PGCCXCVIII: Hartelijk Gefeliciteerd

Right, so, my Dutch is a bit non-existent, so you can blame Google Translate if that says something like ‘Platonic Squeeze Mop’.
Anyway, Stefje, it’s your birthday. Happy Birthday, Stefje!

PGCCXCVII: Caller

When I was a kid, club football was something that you either watched in person or listened to on the radio because pretty much only the Scotland internationals were broadcast live on TV. For live club games, you had to wait for the semis and finals of the domestic and European cups.

PGCCXCVI: Birthdays

The keeper of our list, young peanut, reminds me that we missed one. So, Happy Belated Birthday to kick. But, in perfect time, Happy Birthday to Cracker (which is today, I think).

PGCCXCII: ECLS

In their article about a Scottish woman being sent to Sweden for treatment related to swine flu, they say that she required ECMO [extra corporeal membrane oxygenation], which is entirely probable. I contend, however, that the more correct term would be [...]

PGCCXCI: Job

I bring you all news of yet another great opportunity, this time in the exciting world of chocolate-based scientific research. Unfortunately, none of you are likely to meet the requirements:
40 post-menopausal women with type 2 diabetes sought for chocolate research

PG CCXC – Whine Flu

Ugh. I feel ick. (clom)
