I can't find any evidence of him ever gaining an MD or a PhD or a D.Phil - or anything that would entitle him to call himself 'Doctor'. The highest qualification he appears to have achieved is an MSc in social medicine (and this info is from a webpage that was updated in October last year, so no chance of him having magically gained his MD in the past six months). Maybe I'm missing something, but it all seems a bit fishy to me, a bit like Gillian McKeith and her 'doctorate'.Robynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-26649788757897956772009-03-11T06:37:00.000+00:002009-03-11T06:37:00.000+00:00Oh dear, I see you naughty little people are not t...Oh dear, I see you naughty little people are not taking our advice to heart.

Therefore the government has to try harder to get its message across and if that still doesn't have the desired effect to legislate.<BR/><BR/>It doesn't cross their collective consciousness that people have taken on board all that they've had to say and decided to ignore it. Sadly I don't see this being any different regardless of which party is in power. Its an attitude that permeates officaldom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-12743163455443510312009-03-09T20:12:00.000+00:002009-03-09T20:12:00.000+00:00sinistersinisterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-78109902690225016672009-03-09T17:33:00.000+00:002009-03-09T17:33:00.000+00:00Ken,Yes I agree, a well deserving awardee.

Either that or a thin, pallid, dull health freak. (Since typing this I did a quick google image search on him, looks like he could do with joining me down the gym tomorrow.)

These same women faced an a lower OVERALL cancer risk than non-drinkers. Me thinks Nanny has been up to her old tricks. And as you and others have pointed out, our little lives are rounded with a sleep, so perhaps we should be allowed to find our own equilibrium of abstention and indulgence.Black Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16347464061061628147noreply@blogger.com
