One of my Favourite pieces of Music plus some of the bits of this blog you might not have read

Music Box Dancer by Frank Mills, I chose this version because of the sound quality

I first heard it in Canada when I went on elective ( Dermatology) in Vancouver in 1994

I blog about my health and my diet and my troubles with bullying on my other blog which is Musings of the Medic Its on my bloglist

Ive heard that the GMC are sniffing around the blogs, that some doctors write well I have a DPA request going in and if you are sniffing and you do have this next to my name well I shall have you if you dont reveal it. Breaking the DPA is a criminal offence and just because you are the GMC doesn't make you immune to the law such as it is.

I was searching through Google today, as you do and found some comments I left last year and the year before that


It may interest some people that I am mentioned in Out of The Tunnel by Rachel North pages 184-185 if anyone seriously wants to look


The best way to understand why I have spent the last two years blogging on and off is to read the first post of my blog. It sort of explains things

It also tells you that I am opposed to terrorism, in all its guises.

I will post up controversial material here though, I make no excuse for that

I also post up interesting things like this post about Baileys Irish Cream

It seems things have gone from bad to worse regarding Gordon Brown

This was going to be a short post but it seems to have taken on a life of its own

Enjoy the music

A tribute to Kevin and Georgiana

Georgiana provided chocolates, and Kevin moral support at the GMC hearing on Friday and this is them dancing and having fun

I would like them to be famous for it

So here you go some world exposure for you.

Youre Great.
Better than strictly come dancing anyday

In another development I see that someone has been labelled ,A cherry short of a schwarzwalderkirschtorte I would like to give this last accolade to the people sitting across from me on a rather flimsy desk with their back to the Euston road.

Its a compliment...

April

Has stolen up on me like a bad dream, Its that time of year again when I go off on a tangent and think that because it is spring that everyone has a touch of Mad march hares.

Anyway I apologise for not writing anything for some time

Im busy I actually went and got a life...

The blog will be written when I have decent time in front of the computer

Sayonara for now though

( watches as his hit rates just include the history of baileys irish cream which incidentally is the highest ranking page in this blog)

More people than I care to mention from many different countries around the world including the United Arab emirates and Saudi Arabia have come to this blog to read the definitive inclusive history of it.

Henry is Having a Short Break

Blogging will return in the New Year

I see that my most popular global post is the one I did about Baileys Irish Cream.

All I can say is that Mere alcohol doesnt thrill me at all.

History of Baileys Irish Cream

Historical story

In 1971, a committee of senior managers in Gilbeys of Ireland had the idea for a uniquely Irish drink reflecting Ireland’s heritage and agricultural and distilling traditions.

Baileys first appeared in a ten gallon milkchurn by accident in 1974 because they had been trying to get the whiskey to mix with the cream.

The whiskey is a grain whiskey, and then is blended in with about 50% cream. Back in the old days, a way to handle an upset stomach was to mix whiskey and cream together. It would soothe your stomach. The problem was that the two would not mix well together for long - but Bailey's found a secret way to get the mixture to stay.

No one had managed to blend cream and whiskey before and it took years of patient work, plus a little chocolate and vanilla, to create the truly amazing taste.

Finally, on November 26th 1974 there was an almost magical accident and a new type of drink was born: the cream liqueur.

What actually happens is that they mix the chocolate mix, ( cocoa nibs and vanilla )add burnt sugar( caramel),sugar and then whiskey with the cream to make the famous drink that has a shelf life of 2 years.

So you may think its easy to make but it took them three years to make it.
