When I was in year 10 Biology, my teacher told me how on the day of the Hillsborough disaster, he was listening to events unfold on the radio, when an announcement was made by the emergency services, pleading for anyone with a slight knowledge of the human body to go to one of the main hospitals as they were inundated with casualties.
He went to the Northern General, and was confronted with the terrible sight of injured people just lying everywhere, totally overwhelming the hospital staff. I don't know why, but that is the one story that always comes back to me on the days like today when the disaster is all over the news again.

- I have developed a possibly dangerous view that life is merely daft, and thus should be viewed that way. If you confront every problem in the manner of a T.V character you like, it seems less serious and generally more fun. I guess I'm sort of like Augustus in the 21st century in that respect.
