Crickson's electric eye

I am married to Spiderbaby and live in Banbury, Oxfordshire after eight years living in the USA and Sweden. I am working and training as a clinical scientist for the NHS in Oxford.

There are now over ten years of photographs on my blog! It all started with a photograph I took on the 1st of May 2004... It's been a wonderful journey, thank you all who have shared it with me, and made this blogging community one I keep coming back to!

Interesting things I read recently:

"Only one in five people born [in the UK] since 1975 believes in God".

"For every dollar invested in the Human Genome project, $141 was returned to the US economy". Francis Collins, NIH

I am Pavlovs_dog on PSN and would be happy to link up with Playstation-owning mobloggers : )

Too Much Information: The first album I ever bought was the Fraggle Rock soundtrack. Pretty cool, eh? I was only 16 : )

I dunno - the lids of those bins look mighty heavy. Also, heard on the news the other day that some guy (I forget where - Lincoln? Hmm, not sure) was fined £50 for dropping houshold rubbish in a public rubbish bin. Seems a bit harsh to me - it's not liking he was dumping an old refridgerator or anything. Think the fine may have been rescinded in the end and they also had some very bemused lib dem person talking about it on the raido.

Yeah, I heard that too - it was in the Metro I think. There was also some guy who was fined by a police officer because he said 'Fuck' in public. Bonkers.

WalkleyTalkley says:

The guy who said fuck was brilliant. We'd have the mero at work maybe twice a week and for ages after the story there was stuff in the letters page about it. It was all a bit silly.

If we are going to have a police-state, shouldn't the actual criminals be targetted too?

Are they the ones in the Museum Gardens Crickson?

Would you like me to tell you a useless but icky factoid from my long-gone days as a historical tour guide?

Roman coffins have a hole in the bottom for the liquefied remains escape from. Practical.
