WATCH IT ON iPLAYER “It was the best part of my life,” said one silver-haired lady in ringing tones, while another described it as “poetry” and a third as “the aeroplane and you were one”. What these doughty octogenarians were describing in this gem of a film was flying Spitfires during the Second World War. The three women – and a few more more tracked down by director Harvey Lilley – are among the last-remaining women who served in the Air Transport Auxiliary [ continue reading Spitfire Women, BBC Four – if You watch anything on telly this week – let it be this ] 21 September 2010  |  | category: can't make it up!, one world, women, world of work  | comments are closed  In the early hours of Monday morning my wife had a Non ST segment elevation myocardial infarction. You might be more familiar with the term heart attack. Thankfully she is now recovering in hospital. We didn’t call an ambulance at the time, it didn’t follow the pattern you see in films (no falling to the floor clutching left arm) and it didn’t cross my mind that this could be serious. We had organised a party the day before and I put it down to heart burn. I feel pretty damn foolish about this now. Thing is, it didn’t occur to [ continue reading STEMI? | Get well Dr Joolz ] cycle clothing for harlots – well that’s what they say. Men’s and women’s bike shorts, cycling knickers, wool jerseys.. And my nomination/mention for an inspirational tech-maven for Ada Lovelace day 2010 #ALD10 is … my Mum, Dorothy McNeill. Mum went, on her own, from Anfield, Liverpool to Bahrain in the 1950′s as an IBM ‘stenog’ (not that far from Babbage). Pretty flippin’ amazin’ as far as I am concerned and an inspiration to me since 1958. Especially fortuitous for this posting as that is where she met my Dad. That’s all I want to say about that. Big pharma claims to hold the chemical key to a vigorous female libido. It’s called Flibanserin and you pop it to get randy. Inkling writer Tania Rabesandratana investigates to find out whether it’s indeed that simple. Serendipitous drug development makes for a good story. It makes science sound surprising while making the pharmaceutical industry look spontaneous and candid. Remember how Pfizer was originally looking for a compound against hypertension, and ended up marketing Viagra?

Where have the years gone? Now a new ‘lounge’ bossanova album Soldier of Love ♣ from Ms Adu. Is it any good? Yes. Is it great? Probably not. Let’s wait and see but whatever and despite the rather tinny drum sound on MP3 it is a marker in time for some. Most importantly for me, at a bloody big crossroads in my life, it is (perhaps) a successor to and reminder of the soundtrack of Meribel, Sardinia, the Wag, Ronnie Scott’s, Sutherland, oil-rigs, India, Spain, love and nest-building … and [ continue reading Diamond Life by Sade Album.

This week, for the first time, the number of female GPs outnumber male GPs in Scotland. Since 1970, an ever-greater proportion of wives are higher paid, and more educated, than their husbands. That’s according to this new report by Pew Research. The New York Times covers it here. This is a positive trend for some obvious reasons. One reason women made less than their husbands in the past was that professional opportunities for women were limited by sexism. This is a sign that that situation’s getting better. Also, financial independence makes it easier for any marriage partner, male or [ continue reading Wives Are Making More Money ] 29 January 2010 | | category: empires flux, Gallery of the bleedin' obvious, the state we're in, women | comments are closed Nunchuck skills, bowhunting skills, computer hacking skills, tape measure skills.

So I write my letter, looking over the student’s self-assessment and toning it down so that it sounds like it’s coming from a person and not a PR department, and send it off.
