Woah, I'm going to Barbados

Lib Dem watch have been complaining that I have not written them a poem. I have not really got the time for that at the moment, but I heard these lyrics somewhere recently and wondered if they might suffice for the moment.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Captain Tobias Wilcock welcoming you aboard
Coconut Airways flight 372 to Bridgetown Barbados
We will be flying at an 'ight of 32000 feet and at an airspeed of approximately 600 miles per hour
Refreshments will be served after take-off, kindly fasten your safety belts
And refrain from smoking until the aircraft is airborne

Woah, I'm going to Barbados
Woah, out to the palm trees
Woah, I'm going away from Whitehall
Woah, to the sunny Carribean sea

I don't wanna be PM all my life
I want to join a high paid consultancy
Fly away on Coconut Airways
Leave everyone else stuck on BA

I've ordered my pills for Avine Flu
Everyone else knows what they can do.
Fly away on Coconut Airways
Leave old Blighty to Big Ears

Woah, I'm going to Barbados
Woah, out to the palm trees
Woah, I'm going away from Whitehall
Woah, to the sunny Carribean sea

Far away from London town and the press
Who cares if the NHS is in a mess
We don't need parliament to help us think
All I need is another nice drink

Woah, I'm going to Barbados
Woah, out to the palm trees
Woah, I'm going away from Whitehall
Woah, to the sunny Carribean sea

Ladies and gentlemen, we are now commencing our approach into Bridgetown Barbados
The weather is fine with approximate temperature of 90 degrees Fahrenheit
The sky is blue and the palm trees are really cool
Captain Wilkock and his crew hope you have had a pleasant flight
And that you will fly Coconut Airways again

Woah, I'm going to Barbados
Woah, out to the palm trees
Woah, I'm going away from Whitehall
Woah, to the sunny Carribean sea

Trudiagnostic change PACE leaderboard algorithm - was in position 40, now position 44 - does it matter?

Trudiagnostic have changed the way they handle the Rejuvenation Olympics Leaderboard algorithm. The result of this initially was that I was globally no 40 and have now dropped to 44. Trudiagnostic are a US company that get samples of blood and they look at the DNA to see which parts of the DNA have methyl groups (CH3) attached to them. These modifications to DNA are called methylation markers. DunedinPACE is an algorithm which uses DNA methylation markers in white blood cells to work out how quickly or slowly someone is aging. I had three results on this. The odd thing about the results was that whilst my epigenetic age calculated from the same methylation markers was going down, the speed at which I was aging was going up. I find this somewhat counterintuitive. It is, however, I think relevant that in a global contest my approach on biochemistry which is quite different to many other people's does seem to keep up with others working in the same area. To that extent it...
