We've launched November's campaign, we are stopping the AIDS once and for all. I managed to trog along to the Stop AIDS speaker tour when it visited Leeds and left truly inspired - the speakers were amazing man. The patent pool work the AIDS troop are doing is shit hot and there were some very pleasing words about WTO and strengthening health systems love too - happy happy. Unhappily the Conservative candidate for Leeds was also there, I am bad at diplomacy as she just made me cross talking of "the next Conservative Government" with no possibility of defeat (incidentally my desired outcome is a hung parliament with a lib=lab coalition).
I've also been attending meetings with my medical school about how educational Thailand will be and I hosted el Presidente in Yorkshire.
In my alternative life as a HIV researcher (= lie ins followed by regret and stress filled typing) I have been veering away from actual biomedicine - I don't know how you cope with those labs Elster - and made my research all about asylum seekers. Woop.
In my second alternative life I had a Disney-come-zombie Halloween party and zombified my favourite Disney princess with the help of a truly vile ball dress (worn without irony to my year 11 prom!). Excellent work. I've also been taking advantage of FREE tickets Leeds city council provides to any under 26 year old to go to the Yorkshire Playhouse midweek - Grapes of Wrath last week, The Secret Garden next week. Lovely. I also went to see the film and then devoured the book of 'An Education' and advise you all to do the same in that order - Nick Hornby's screen play is EXCELLENT and deserves to be seen prior to reading the slightly bitter/cross/cruel writings of Ms Barber (it's a memoir).
That is all for now folks..... Exxxxxx
