		<description><![CDATA[We have a gate the neighbourhood cats climb under as a route through to the stream, and houses behind. They do this in part because both neighbours have dogs as pets. After some pondering, decided the only thing we have nasty enough to deter cats, that I could sensibly fit to the gate without unduly [...]]]></description>

We are committed to reducing duplication and the resources spent on administration, and diverting these resources back to front-line care. &#8212; The Coalition our programme for Government May 2010 &#8216;People voted for change and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The BBC is running a story about how more than three quarters of graduate employers want a 2:1 or better. This sounds onerous and highly competitive, till you visit the Higher Education Statistics Agency, and discover about 2/3rds of graduates are currently getting 2:1 or better. Suddenly employers look unambitious, or perhaps realistic about the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It has been observed by others before, that people&#8217;s ability to make rational decisions about their own health care is often poor. Something I know I&#8217;m not immune from. Doctors know this, and are usually advised not to self prescribe, or prescribe for family members or colleagues. We see crazes like homeopathy and faith-healing where [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today was one of those days when nothing went smoothly. I feel the need to shout at the world, think before you make things. Especially things lots of people will use. It isn&#8217;t a terribly novel or keen observation, but time to start pointing them out. Worse case, but most trivial, recently was a Nominet [...]]]></description>
