So now my nurse says that I have high blood pressure and I have to go back to the doctors in a few weeks to be tested again! Naturally though I am fighting back by attending classical music concerts and reading Jeeves and Wooster on regular occasions, but let that be a warning for avoiding the news at all costs, tut, tut.
Be smart, don't watch the news. :crash:
my dad had a great quote about the news:
"People that watch the news like to watch the same movie over and over again"

Researchers said most children lied Toddlers who tell lies early on are more likely to do well later, researchers claim.
The complex brain processes involved in formulating a lie are an indicator of a child's early intelligence, they add.
A Canadian study of 1,200 children aged two to 17 suggests those who are able to lie have reached an important developmental stage.
Only a fifth of two-year-olds tested in the study were able to lie.
But at age four, 90% were capable of lying, the study found. The rate increases with age to a peak at age 12.

Mm, Scheher... I thought they peaked when they entered public service as local councillors or politicians.
My word, spot the error on this one:
