Its a bit like nessie really

Danny Alexander who is MP for Inverness, Nairn, Something and Other (Badenoch and Strathspey for those who wish to know) also is MP for Loch Ness and hence the Loch Ness Monster (Nessie) is one of his constituents.

This cat:

is a bit like Nessie. Patches I have only managed to get photos of in a very blurred manner. However, in guarding bottles of booze Patches has stayed still.

It remains that there are two cats to go. They are rarer specimens. The one that the Labour Party have claimed is dead is in fact live and growling (it sort of growls in the middle of the night) and I may get another photograph of it.

In the mean time we have the Birmingham version of Monopoly in the House of Commons Library.

I may be wrong, but I don't believe that either Old Queen St or PMOS have claimed that any of your cats are dead, Bob and I have merely asked that you register the existence of each individual cat. Until that point, each cat may or may not exist (Schroedinger would be proud).

Fortunately, I'm not responsible for Labour press briefing or national policy (which many would regard as a good thing). However, that latest picture clearly shows a cat belonging to the undead - those are scary eyes.

Speaking of the undead, why do your colleagues continue to spout the untruth that there are no Tory MPs in the major cities outside London? Another one of the LD new boys was on R4 this morning and repeated the statement (not challenged by Michael Gove, sadly). Three answers come to mind. Firstly, their political geographical knowledge is lacking, secondly, they do not regard Birmingham as a major city or do have they just read one Liberal Democrat bar chart too many and have started to believe their own propaganda?

My daughter has promised to email me a photo she has of Lighting being chased out of the house by Waif (you already have a pic of Waif).

The Sutton Coldfield question remains the Sutton Coldfield question.

Its the long genes that stop working

People who read my blog will be aware that I have for some time argued that most (if not all) diseases of aging are caused by cells not being able to produce enough of the right proteins. What happens is that certain genes stop functioning because of a metabolic imbalance. I was, however, mystified as to why it was always particular genes that stopped working. Recently, however, there have been three papers produced: Aging is associated with a systemic length-associated transcriptome imbalance Age- or lifestyle-induced accumulation of genotoxicity is associated with a generalized shutdown of long gene transcription and Gene Size Matters: An Analysis of Gene Length in the Human Genome From these it is obvious to see that the genes that stop working are the longer ones. To me it is therefore obvious that if there is a shortage of nuclear Acetyl-CoA then it would mean that the probability of longer Genes being transcribed would be reduced to a greater extent than shorter ones.
