Well everyone, today is my last day at work until the 3rd Jan so I shall say my goodbyes today incase I can't get on a computer in the meantime. Today I am just killing time until 5pm until I am released!

I am staying in Cheltenham on Xmas day going to my Mums for Boxing day, have to tell her this first. Then working the wednesday, thursday and friday. Not too fussed about new year if it were up to me i would stay in and watch Jools Hollands holiday hootananny on TV
I will also be Sky Plusing and/or watching the RI Christmas lectures on channel five on boxing day and the next four days at 7.15 to 8pm
All about food this year
1. The Gourmet Ape (Boxing Day)
Sir John Krebs lectures on the science of all things food-related. What scientists have discovered about the diets of our ancestors and how differences in food habits among populations and cultures have arisen. Are our diets today the result of evolutionary adaptations or chance, and how did the origins of agriculture 10,000 years ago transform the food habits of our ancestors? What has been the impact of cooking both on the range of foods we can eat and on our evolution?
2. Yuck or Yummy? (27 Dec)
Sir John Krebs lectures on the science of all things food-related. What is it about some food that makes it irresistible, while other food is a real turn-off? In ?Yuck or yummy' we will explore the sensory world of food. How do taste, appearance, texture, smell and even the name of the food affect our enjoyment? What goes on in the brain when we enjoy, or are revolted by particular foods?
3. You Are What You Eat (28 Dec)
Sir John Krebs lectures on the science of all things food-related. To survive and grow we need to eat enough of each of the essential nutrients. How did scientists discover the right mix of nutrients and how does what we eat match up? Is it true that eating fish makes you brainier, carrots help you see in the dark and spinach will make you stronger? Lots of people try to lose weight by dieting. But does it work? And if so, what is the secret of successful dieting?
4. When Food Goes Wrong (29 Dec)
Sir John Krebs lectures on the science of all things food-related. We uncover the hidden and not so hidden dangers that might lurk in our food and explode some of the myths. Why is food allergy apparently on the increase? Have you ever suffered a bout of food poisoning? Food is made up of chemicals but you often read that chemicals in food are dangerous, whether they are pesticide residues or artificial colours or flavourings added to our food. What is the truth behind this?
5. Food for the Future (30 Dec)
Sir John Krebs lectures on the science of food. Around 800 million people in the world go hungry every day. The world's population is set to increase from about six billion today to nearly ten billion by 2050. Will more people inevitably go hungry? Is the earth capable of producing enough food for the future? Science is also blurring the boundaries between food, medicines and drugs. Will the future bring us the chocolate bar that treats heart disease or the mood-enhancing potato crisp?
