I walk past this sign every morning on the way to work and the lack of punctuation coupled with my being a damned foreigner renders it meaningless to me.
Are they offering to book your teams, wind up your parties and something called soccer hockey? OR are they saying that you can 'book your team's wind-up parties'? I know one or two people who could seriously get into the idea of a wind-up party, but then is it a party that you tell people about, but it was all just a wind-up and isn't going to happen, or is it a party where you just set out to wind people up?
It captures the imagination anyroad.
So, parties being what they are, there's bound to be rock and roll involved, no seriously, there HAS to be proper music at a party. I have been to ones where there was none, but then was it really a party? A conundrum.
So onto the drugs. I'm sure that everyone has read the news articles about the cheap drug DCA which has been used for a long time to treat metabolic disorders and thus is well tested, and which scientists have now realised may be used to kill almost any type of cancer cell without causing any damage to the healthy ones. No? Well I guess you have now.
BUT, it is in danger of not being developed or further researched because since it is an 'old' drug, there is no money to be made by drug companies, so they won't front the spondula for the R&D. Odd, I was under the impression that governments funded a certain amount of research.
And finally the sex.
Ok, well, yet again it seems as though someone's money is being spent to test, prove and confirm the crashingly obvious.
A team, no less, of US scientists, have discovered this amazing, mind-blowing, totally new and never-before-known to man fact that they could have discovered more easily and cheaply by asking the first 100 adult women they came across on the street and thus releasing money to be spent on testing the effects of DCA on cancer cells.
Around ovulation time, it seems, our hormones are higher, affecting the 'reward system' in our brains and so..... we have more intense orgasms. Wow, that's amazing. Thank goodness they have discovered this, now we can all go off and enjoy them more.
" "Increased activity of the brain's reward system at this time could boost anticipation and enjoyment of sexual activity," said Dr Karen Berman of the US National Institute of Mental Health......This demonstrates for the first time that female hormones affect the reward system in very specific ways during particular parts of the cycle," added Dr Berman. "
God bless you Dr. Berman. Yeah, cos we women never realised it had anything to do with our hormones or our inner reward system.
Give me a break. Every woman who has ever been sexually active knows this, maybe we didn't know the exact mechanism, but hey, who cares?

Soccer hockey!
I like the idea of playing hockey with a football.
Although, it's just another game for England to be crap at!
