David Cameron shoves a wiimote up is assh#le

Sorry for the late post, woke up late.

Tuesday 07/06/2011 - David Cameron makes a speech stressing that the abolition of the central monitoring of NHS treatment and accident + emergency waiting times will not lead to a loss of focus and control in these areas.
Wednesday 08/06/2011 - The latest diagnostic figures are released and state that the average waiting time for tests under the NHS was 2.3 weeks in April, a 40% increase on the 1.7 week wait held as a standard the year before. This comes as a "shock" as the increase came despite a 2% fall in the number of tests being carried out in April this year compared to April last year.

Do you think David Cameron's arse gets jealous about the amount of shit that constantly comes out of his mouth?

I'm sure most of you have heard of E3 andr watched or have being following it well here's some interesting news. Immediately after Nintendo announed the new WiiU console shares at Nintendo fell approximately 6.5 percent, something to do with investors not believing that Nintendo have focused enough on social networking.
I don't know about you guys but i probably wont be buying one. Nintendo do have some really strange ideas in how they think people want to play games, first your flinging around a white dildo and now your holding a dinner plate? Have any of you tried playing some of the driving games on IPAD? it doesn't really work and imagine its going to be a similar experience with this technology.


I couldnt think of a song for today so heres a video of a guy punching himself in the face.

Pioneering Research on Hold and Werewolves... kinda

HELLO!

After such a great response from the previous article on stem cell research i decided to feature another story on topical medicine aswell as some other reports.

Research into a gene therapy cure for cystic fibrosis has been halted due to a public funding shortfall attributed to the economic downturn. The UK CF Gene Therapy Consortium have spent the last 10 years working on a treatment for the disease and were hoping to begin a trial later this summer yet despite being shortlisted for the a prestigous medical innovation award by the MFIA the team led by Prof' Eric Alton say the earliest we can expect the trials to now get underway will be next March at the earliest.

You need a large critical mass of people doing the research, getting scientists and doctors working as a team, recruiting patients and making the material for the trial. It's been a decade of effort. No one else is capable of doing it. It is completely unique. ”

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1394657/Scientists-discover-werewolf-gene-spell-end-baldness.html?ito=feeds-newsxmlScientists from the University of Southern California have potential found a cure for the balding. The "werewolf" gene which causes hair to grow all over the body including the face has been found and scientists are claiming that the discovery could lead to a remedy for baldness. Research has now begun into developing drugs capable of triggering a genetic mutation to "turn on" this typically genetic disorder.
Couldnt find a werewolf song so this will have to do:
