  2. has just had a monumentally ignorant and rude email. From a senior scientist working for Camridge Uni with a PhD who seems to have trouble with a basic registration process. He won't need a mass spectrometer to work out he won't be here long.

  14. Every weekday morning an idiot sits in a library in Gateshead casting bizarre biased votes in the MotY poll. They will be sadly deflated when the results are announced to find they're not as clever as they thought they were.
