The uncollected baggage at the Izmir Airport. Its the day before the World Congress on “Controversies in Birth Control and the Burka in a modern Muslim Society.” I am told this is held strategically and uniquely every 9 months.

I belong to the “slide night” generation, having been subjected to these events in childhood, the consequence of having a father who enjoy photography. Not surprisingly I followed in his footsteps. My first trip overseas at the end of my fifth year in medicine was to Nepal. In Singapore I purchased a relatively expensive SLR

About 3 months ago I took to using BING as my default search engine. Google has gurgled down the drain. Each day, there is a changing background picture and today when I went to the BING home page, there before my eyes was the unique Baroque Teatro Municipal Ouro Preto.I have been there! Here is the

A male pedestrian attempted to punch and beat up a driver through his car window. The driver accelerated away and knocked over another 2 pedestrians and collided with 3 other cars as he sped away.

Birthday coming up? Happy to organise a cake or two from Selfridges, given sufficient warning I acknowledge that some of you may find these “over the top”. I agree and certainly the little cup cakes on the top of the large cake is taking things a little too far. Finally The Entree at the Kensington

The Academy was founded in 1822 and is the oldest musical conservatoire in Britain. It is devoted to educating and training some of the world’s greatest musicians. The museum is an outstanding and fascinating collection for anyone with an interest in music. It has had bequeathed some remarkable and unique collections including those of Sir

In retrospect a conference on the rather specific subject of Status epilepsy (in other words a seizure which persists and does not spontaneously abort) lasting 3 whole days, was not surprisingly, confusing and far too esoteric. It was for the most part very research based with lots of complex slides showing the histology of various
