"Adult instrumental musicians have more grey matter in somatosensory, premotor, superiorparietal, and inferior temporal areas of the cortex and these enlargements correlate with their levels of expertise GaserandSchlaug,2003)."

A friend told me that Seattle was full of Double Income No Kids (DINKs). Just wondering: is Dundee full of Half (an) Income (my) Cousin (is my) Kid (HICKs)?

AARRGGHH! I forming a group and trying to create a profile picture, but it keeps changing my personal profile picture and not the group's. Help!

Anyone voting Labour? Anyone? Do I have any takers? No. Ok, moving on...

Apparently there are only four parties to vote for.

Arrgghh!! I the pupils are going back to school. I need to move some around the timetable and it's too full. It's a nice arrggh though.

As a teacher I have to ask, "What would happen if I bit someone?" Luis Suarez does and gets... In any other profession, the professional would cease to be a professional. Stop calling footballers professionals. That sport is disgraceful.

BETTER TOGETHER - read verse 6.

1. God save our gracious Queen,

Long live our noble Queen,

God save the Queen!

Send her victorious,

Happy and glorious,

Long to reign over us;

God save the Queen!

2. O Lord our God arise,

Scatter her enemies

And make them fall;

Confound their politics,

Frustrate their knavish tricks,

On Thee our hopes we fix,

God save us all!

3. Thy choicest gifts in store

On her be pleased to pour;

Long may she reign;

May she defend our laws,

And ever give...

Brown Amazon boxes tied up with string. These are a few of my favourite things.

Busy studying my MProc. Only a couple of months to go now and I'll be a Master of Procrastination. Just thought I'd share that with Face Book rather than actually study.

Crikey! Loch Muick was wet today. I mean it's a loch so I should have expected it, but the rain: I'm telling you wow.

Darnit! I just finished the first draft of an essay, hit the word count and it said 2000. Now I have to re-draft and I might loose my perfect score.

Distinction for module three! Get in.

Does anyone else have a problem with their Yahoo account freezing. Currently I can read emails, but neither reply nor send emails. This has been happening for a couple of weeks. Has anyone noticed anything?

Does anyone know of a Ceilidh Band looking for a Bassist? I'm keen to get out playing again.

Does anyone remeber White Town, " Abort, Retry, Fail"? I am mixing Duke Box's rehearsal, last Monday, and I have just got that message. Should I feel privileged?

Drummer wanted: I am in a function band who is ready to start gigging. If you want a band that you can slot in to a start working, please contact me.

Final thought before tomorrow: this has become heated, because both sides want to put their points across. Come tomorrow evening, let's all be respectful friends again.

We had the opportunity to alter the voting system to become more democratic. Too many people were fearful of change and FPTP remained: this is undemocratic. Which ever way you vote tomorrow, please let it come from a place of knowledge rather than fear. Apathy is not an option.
