He's all talk. If I were to pack him in the car and take him to a salon to have it done, he'd bail, for certain!

I've got two boys, and they are 14 (Xan) and 11 (Number2Son).

Happy birthday to your little fella for last month! I saw the pic of him with the Pratchett book, he looks adorable.

(Sorry; been jumping on & offline; doing a bit of chauffeur duty.)

Aw geez, hope Anubis hasn't bled out on us... Oi, Anubis! CATCH!

*turns away, arm over eyes, and hoicks a few tea towels over shoulder in Anubis's direction*

As a paramedic, I'd make a good filing clerk....

That Daily Mail photo of Tennant & Myles: he's lankier than he looks on Doctor Who, and man, he rocks that two-day-beard look. Woo!

Surgery and blood make me squeamish. That's why my mum finished a first aid course yesterday.

Then you should do what Dr Keith Simpson did for exactly that reason. Become a forensic pathologist. (I kid you not)

No, forensics is fascinating. Forensic science is fascinating. Forensic sciences are fascinating.

I actually have a textbook from 1948 by Keith Simpson.

I think politics also started off as a singular noun: "He espouses a politics of nonaggression", for example. Over time, this usage has changed to the point where Merriam-Webster Online gives it as "noun plural but singular or plural in construction", and Cambridge Dictionaries Online unequivocally defines it as a plural noun.

So that's how you learned about the Steven Truscott case. I was three or four when the original crime was committed, but as you know, the repercussions went on for decades.

Actually, Keith Simpson doesn't write about the case in the text. It was the 1948 version. I learned about Steve Truscott in Colin Evans' books The Casebook of Forensic Detection and (in further detail) A Question of Evidence, which also looks at Lindy Chamberlain, as well as various other forensic controversies, such as OJ Simpson, the Turin Shroud, JFK and Napoleon.

No, he couldn't have, could he? I just saw the reference in the Wikipedia link about Simpson that you posted.

What did A Question of Evidence make of the JFK case? Was there an attempt to debunk the "one lone nut" shooter theory?

No. Quite the opposite really. Oswald acted alone.

BTW, the Truscott case occurred in the early '50's. Simpson might have written about it in a later edition.
