Measuring blood pressure
Johnathan Pearce (London)  Health • How very odd!

Via the excellent engadget blog, here is a nifty item to put on the wall for all you health-freaks out there. Perhaps I should strap my arm to one of the controls the next time I read about the Archbishop of Canterbury, the eco-Leninist thoughts of Madeleine Bunting, or watch the English rugby/cricket/football team give up a lead?.

Or maybe I should stop doing all these things for a longer, happier life.

Oh please, Johnathan, I was trying to forget last weekends' rugby fiasco. What a bloody shower.

I thought they played really really well!
Snicker ;-)

Oh c'mon!

Our football team beat the might of Switzerland, (although we needed an Italian to coach us), and our brave cricketers took on and bested the mighty Black Caps at baseball.

I'm sure our rugby heroes will put up a better fight in Rome on Sunday.

What heroes are you referring to Kimosabe?

(A Welshman, as if you didn't know!)

Tomorrow will be another day!

The Scots,being fellow Celts will be less amenable to our brute charm.
