Congratulations. Luke's a good name. No abbreviations. Biblical. Patron saint of doctors.* *and martial arts instructors.** **not really. Congrats again!

Call me a thicko but why does the club owe Ashley the money he paid to buy it?

...are your pet name for your testicles?

It does have its uses though, I use it for some things. Getting off my tits, mostly.

I couldn't take it seriously after seeing the Profaniasaurus entry 'Clout Atlas'.

You don't have to tell me that! It's an anaesthetic gas! I'm just surprised at how popular it is, there wasn't much about when I last went in 2005.

not smoking it I hope! Have I told you about my patient who accidentally set his beard on fire? It was at night a couple of weeks ago. He had an oxygen mask on and used his cigarette lighter to light up the room whilst bent over looking for something in his bag.

Well it is bloody big. I wouldn't say it's too commercial though. You can take as much food and booze as you want or can carry in, rather than forced to buy bottles of budweiser for £8, which is a stark contrast from a lot of other gigs/festivals/sporting events. Of course they discourage drug taking but I think this is just lip service. No-one is ever arrested for doing drugs (I've seen a copper role a joint to the cheers of encouraging crowd). Security staff search most bags but not all on the way in but they don't pat you down, and they told me they just bin any gear they find instead of dobbing you in to the fuzz, unless you're clearly intending to deal. What struck me was the amount of people doing laughing gas (nitrous oxide). Everywhere you went there were people sucking on balloons, especially up in the stone circle. I find it particularly amusing as it's a gas routinely used in anaesthetic practice (although I don't use it much as it makes people puke when they wake up!).

Glastonbury was awesome. Amused by the M&S debate. I wouldn't say I'm fan of theirs but they've got some good tunes. I was in the crowd for their set. I thought they were an odd choice to close the festival, they've only been around six years and had to play almost their whole back catalogue to fill the set, but I thought they did a good job. People around me sort of switched off and chatted during their slower/less well known numbers (although I'd put that more down as a reflection of the crowd), but the place was rocking for their big hits. They were admittedly quite humble about closing Glasto and getting vampire weekend etc on stage for their last song was a reflection of that.

We found a nice place in Corsica on there, just booked the flights. Looked up Scooter rental, and I found someone had already asked on trip advisor: http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowTopic-g187141-i3644-k3783024-Scooter_or_car_in_Bastia_Corsica-Bastia_Haute_Corse_Corsica.html Might give it a miss.

Three days until I head down to Pilton for my first Glastonbury since this incarnation of the board was born, in 2005. Just me and my girlfriend instead of me and two dozen 20 year olds so it will be a bit different...

I hope everyone's seen Shawshank btw. I had it ruined for me by one of those 100 Greatest Film programmes.

How should Shawshank end then?

Mick Jagger?

Was it him who curled one out in the Palace dressing room?

What do you think about the last shot?

thing is, the writer of that letter only has themself to blame for going out with such a poor match in the first place

You should be. That's far more offensive than your comment this morning.

I don't think a defunct Russian space station is the answer to your problems

Nah she was confirmed brain dead yesterday afternoon. No worries.

The whole thing was really sad. At least thanks to her wishes 10 or so people's lives will be changed. Six different people are going to get a part of her liver, including a young child.

Had a rough couple of nights. It's quite rare that I shed tears at work but pausing outside the operating theatre so a guy could say goodbye to his 19 year old girlfriend before we wheeled her in for organ donation was about as close as it gets.
