singing my own song

big cars are thirsty

Saturday, October 29th, 2005

Tuesday, October 4th, 2005

Today the Nobel committee made their first announcement for 2005, and those who know me and my fascination with these prizes will understand my delight at hearing the news.
Congratulations to two great Australians, Prof Barry Marshall and Dr Robin Warren on being awarded the 2005 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine “for their discovery [...]
