Paging Mr Lehrer

And we’re back! Hooray for normal and thanks for the tunes and the immune system idea. Everyone SO wanted the Prof to say YES to lemon juice or some other easy hit to stay healthy but alas he didn’t get to be a Prof by saying such things (though you have to say echinacea got what could count as a tentative thumbs up). It’s public spaces that are the battle ground; schools, buses, the underground, shops and your office are all full of DISEASED people who should be at home. Anyway we are all bursting with health and new year vitality here.
We shall have a positive glow by the time Paul Mckenna has finished with us. He wants to tell us how we can all achieve instant charisma and influence. We can all sparkle and dazzle with sincerity and power apparently-stand by your radios/phones/computers. By tonight you may be unrecognisable. ‘Is that you dear? You seem all POWERFUL and CHARISMATIC all of a sudden…'
And there’ll be some PERIODIC TABLE chat too seeing as the news is full of it. Editorially I can now talk about it without things getting tricky. 4 new elements to take us to 118. Element hunters can hardly collect these new ones as they only exist in labs for a few seconds but we can do PERIODIC TABLE OF ELEMENTS oldies. You want a prompt?
