Critical Mass Bristol

Yesterday we went for the monthly Critical Mass ride.
It started off with a heavy hail storm, then progressed into a fun ride around town, finishing off with beer for some, but an early night for me as I was working this morning.
Looming forward to the next one.

Banksy Queue

Here's my experience of the Banksy vs. Bristol Museum queue this morning, I got there about 45 mins before it opened, and it took me quarter of an hour to find the end of the queue, when I got there there was a five hour wait to get in, so I gave it a miss. Looks like I'll never get to see this exhibition!

'Yerufarris? I said, Yerufarris?'

"Don't mess with the Jocks"

I've no idea why this is news, but I rather like the story. Not very sure what it added to my life, but something interesting to read.

Cancer treatments

I have just participated in a YouGov survey that was a bit of a mixed bag of questions which ended in a series of questions about cancer.

One of the questions was a grid to select what I thought was the most and least effective cancer treatments out of radiotherapy, drugs, surgery and chemotherapy. I selected 'surgery' as the most effective, after all - what could be better treatment than removing the cancer. But then I hit a snag - the other treatments are effective too, and no one treatment is going to be used alone, some people probably have all four. So, given that I could only choose one option for each treatment, what was I going to decide was the least effective? It caused me to think for a moment, I know what I chose, based partly on personal experience and professional experience, but with no evidence to back up my decision, as cancer is not really something I know much about, despite a family diagnosis being the reason I got in to nursing in the first place.
