My second paper


Well good news, my first paper to use in my PhD. Published in FEBS journal, so not too bad!

Title is 'Arg143 and Lys192 of the human mast cell chymase mediate the preference for acidic amino acids in position P2' of substrates'

If you want to read I can send you the article! (Ok, so no-one will, but I'm just being polite)

The only gay in the village


Well another comedic headline from the UK. Obviously there is a close eye on the election in UK. Well in Scotland at least (like a more ginger, skirt wearing England) one man has got himself in trouble for saying something that 99% of people agree with. The man in trouble is Philip Lardner, who has simply said he would tolerate "common sense equality and respect" for gay people but "will not accept that their behaviour is 'normal' or encourage children to indulge in it."

Now he has been suspended. It's a bizarre place this stupid country they call England. I mean they go so PC (that's politically correct, not personal computer) that no-one can speak their mind, even when it's something as 'normal' as this. So we should be going round promoting everyone to be gay? I hate to tell these over-the-top gay rights activists, but us 'straight' weirdos don't go round saying how proud we are to the point of abuse, that we love the opposite sex. It was Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve (apparently).

Plus it can't be that natural to want to bone the same sex, I mean it doesn't physically work and biologically gives no result, so why should we openly promote being gay?! So this poor guy has been shafted (not in that way) because he said something nearly everyone agrees with- he even said he would 'tolerate' in terms of respect and what not, so whats the big deal.

This place has lost the plot entirely. I think it's hilarious that women are allowed their feminist groups, religion has it's cult (well that's a talking point isn't it) and kiddy fiddling priests, 'ethnic minorities' (whatever that means, remember we have to be 'multicultural') have their protests etc, but imagine if white men started their own groups? Only males gyms? Only male drivers insurance companies?! Haha, we'd be locked up straight away.

When the curry is our national dish and Mohammed is the second most common name, to say something so run of the mill, yet to get bashed for it, is just amazing. Society is all but over, everyone is afraid of everyone. To win an election is so easy- do not say you need to raise more money, i.e. tax. Do not introduce such jokes as ASBO's. Do something to sort out these little punk ass kids, this chav culture, which doesn't exist in any other country. Start sorting out the criminals and protecting the victims.

However, all these chumps can't really run a country. The labour/conservatives are the same, lib dems don't know anything either. That leaves a monkey with a banana, which could actually do a better job. The BNP have some good policies, but go about in completely the wrong way, and before you say it, no I'm not racist and no I wouldn't willingly vote for anyone. That is the problem- these MP's are so far from reality. Was it not recently Eddie Izzard, a die hard labour fan, was completely offended at peoples comments that this shithole country was 'broken'. He genuinly believes labour haven't cocked it. What a nob. Ignorance is bliss. Open your eyes, because something needs to change. Mass overpopulation, immigrants flooding society, schools not being able to punish kids, teenage pregnancies, all contribute to the downward spiral. The futures definitely not bright, it's definitely not f**king orange. My advice, leave the shithole, go to Australia or something. Anywhere is better- do it now before it's too late!!

Doggies everywhere

Well, we met the little poop machines today, plus a 55 kg male who's meeting with Johanna ended up with here being knocked over into a chair- was pretty funny actually. Not much you can do when you are caught off-guard by a bear....


So 5 weeks old and 4 kg


This little thing will be ours in 3 weeks


It might grow to this size- He's the one who sat Johanna down. It's hard to tell from the pic, but his paws are as big as our feet and his head is somewhat larger than Johannas (that's not a dig at her brain size). Lets just say he's bigger than he looks here!

Another April first?!

Well again, (ok, yes I inadvertently clicked on the 'news') Sky have a headline 'Tennis Star To Be Quizzed Over 'Sex Attack'. Well this is wrong in every sense of the word as Dan Evans, the 7th best British tennis player is actually ranked 365 in the world!

What 'star' is ranked 365th in the world at anything?! A star implies you are good at something. Ironically, being this shit pays off- he's played only 3 crappy tournaments and won nothing this year yet he still has 12,000 dollars in the bank!!!!! What the fudgeroo?! How is that possible?
Well obviously I completely missed the point of the story, just some drunk thing- you know, the usual English behaviour. I got slightly caught up in the rage of how this story made headlines and the red mist appeared after the word 'star' was used.

Unless you have won anything or are a luminous ball of plasma held together by gravity, do not claim that you are a star (well I know Mr. Evans didn't say it himself, but anyway).

On a completely unrelated topic, our little monster is 3 weeks old now. Check out this pic, we have one of the two on the left, or both depending if we can leave one behind......(just kidding)

Motorists Hit By Road Tax And Duty Rise

After reading the title of this article on Sky news (which by the way is just soo bad, it really is up there with 'the Sun'), I thought of the date and it all came clear: the British government are having a laugh, nice try, you nearly got me.

Or are they serious? They must be kidding right? Yeah, there's no way they are going to increase petrol and duty tax on a new car, surely? Do they take us for muggs? Well, yes actually........
