Evolution

I was interested by this story which says that humans are not only still evolving, but are evolving faster now than ever before. Its counter-intuitive which makes it all the more attention-grabbing.
Good news for a change

I had my interview today to get NEC endorsement of my selection. It all went well, so I can now officially call myself the prospective parliamentary candidate for Horsham. That almost makes up for not getting tickets to see Led Zep last night.
