Probably not the same as Room 101.
Two things today - a report in the news about a pharmaceutical experiment involving eight people testing a new drug. Six were given the drug, two a placebo. Result - 6 almost dead men. I wonder if this drug had been tested on animals previously? Lets hope they get better and the pharmacy company learns from this mistake.
Secondly I've just finished 'Cold Mountain'. Well worth the read - and as I suspected it really didn't end well. I'm now on to Juian Barnes' 'Arthur & George'.
About Me
- Steve Middleton
- I retired on medical grounds from a very satisfying job over a year ago - but I seem to be busier than ever. I try to watch a film a week, I joined U3A, do so much reading (I belong to three reading groups) go to the theatre regularly and love living in East London. I know everyone thinks it is violent and dangerous but I love the diversity and the variety. My one regret - I live on the third floor, and I can't keep a cat. Love the radio. Do leave me a message!
