The BBC has an amusing article on how “Doctor slang is a dying art.” A language used by doctors to talk about their patients without them knowing. Some good examples include:
Departure Lounge - geriatric ward
CTD - Circling the drain (expected to die soon)
GLM - Good looking Mum
UBI - Unexplained Been Injury
Manchester done and dusted. I have to say I had a fabulous weekend. It all seemed to roll into one big huge night out. I can’t distinguish between nights! It’s madness. Anyway, highlights of the weekend were: Via Fossa, Essential, The parade (with the spinning nuns!), pub crawling and the HUGE party in the [...]

Podge pointed me in the direction of PodWorks today. It’s a very handy OS X utility that lets you take songs off an iPod. That was the only real draw back to the iPod, not being able to transfer songs from the iPod to another Mac. This is going to come in really useful [...]

Seriously, was that the shortest weekend? This morning it felt like I’d only left work for an hour! Weekend was fun. Stayed in on Friday night and watched Dogma, love that Movie. Got the hair cut on Saturday afternoon, a new style (thank you Ian!). Met Alan and his friend Ciara afterwards for coffee and [...]

The Gardai now have the [...]
Just back from dinner at Mother’s. The house is truly becoming the hub of European multiculturalism. For dinner there was: myself, Mother, Alfredo (Italian), an Italian TV presenter, a German, a Spaniard & a 16yo Russian who’s father is the IT director of Russia’s National Bank. Let’s just say it made for some very interesting [...]
