I knew it!

Genes are the new pschyclogical profiler. Expect things in the future to be blamed on ones genes. "He couldn't help being completely incompetentt because he has hsp-16"

There's only protein as someone pointed out last week.

What, like the humour gene on the Y-chromosome

BTW, Sir Stilring Moss is now an octogenarian and can still drive bloody well!

Well done Mr Graves, best laugh I ve had for years !
was wondering how I was going to start my lesson on Biopsychology tomorrow and I plan to use this as an excellent example of how people apply knowledge in ways that fool people into thinking that something has actually had an effect !
Tosh !
But good fun

Rather a sad observation I know but my mother had to take the driving test five times before she scraped through and was never happy at the wheel. She had a stroke and unfortunately failed to recover and is a paraplegic.

I passed my test first time so fingers crossed I haven't inherited the rouge gene.
