Hey Baboonery,

I'm very glad to see you posting a bit more this year. You seemed to be absent for a bit late last year/early this year.

Anyway, your advice to nottinghillbilly over on the Help Finding a GP-Please! thread to move if it is their only option has had me chuckling to myself, at my desk, causing colleagues to question what I’m doing. My work doesn’t generally have people chuckling.

Tattoos are marvellous. I loved the Nightcrawler’s exchange with Storm in X-men 2 about his tattoos:

Storm: [gentling touching Nightcrawler's tattoos] So... What are they?
Nightcrawler: They're angelic symbols, passed on to mankind by the archangel Gabriel.
Storm: They're beautiful. How many do you have?
Nightcrawler: One for every sin. So quite a few.

And I loved the use of tattoos in the movie Memento to help Guy Pearce’s character Leonard resolve the mystery of the murder of his wife.

After I came out of the cinema from seeing Memento at Leicester Square, I thought for one giddy moment I’d head up to Camden and start the series of FACT tattoos down my arm. I’m a bit of a weakling in terms of arm size and pain threshold so they’d have to be small facts.

Oops, sorry, more facts.
