* A criticism of those tests for Alzheimer’s – the only winners are the insurance companies.
* Why sharing a joke as a text message on one’s phone is just a caricature – the person might just as well take a joke book to the pub and say “Turn to page 111, there’s a good joke there.”
* How the NHS hides the fact that a high percentage of men with a mental illness are made impotent by their medication.
(Moral: Don’t be too quick to say you are suffering ‘mentally’ – which seems to be a current fad.)
