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

Why are babies born young?

Why are babies born young? This sounds like an odd question. People would say "of course babies are born young". However, this goes to the core of the question of human (or animal) development. Why is it that as time passes people develop initially through puberty and then for women through menopause and more generally getting diseases such as sarcopenia, osteoporosis, diabetes and cancer, but most of the time babies start showing no signs of this. Lots of research into this has happened over the years and now I think it is clear why this is. It raises some interesting questions. Biological youth is about how well a cell functions. Cells that are old in a biological sense don't work that well. One of the ways in which cells stop working is they fail to produce the full range of proteins. Generally the proteins that are produced from longer genes stop being produced. The reason for this relates to how the Genes work (the Genome). Because the genome is not gettin
