Today (Sunday) I have gone to work, finished proof reading a paper and e mailed it to the first author for comments.
Been asked to Peer Review a paper (yahay!). Come home and attempted to do the data-extraction for a systematic review I am working one. Despite four coffee's the brain doesn't work so I may give up.

I don't trust Red Bull. One minute you're staying up until 3am to finish a paper, next you're in a capsule 19 miles up, trying to remember which is the air-hose and which is the 'comfort and convenience' hose in your space-suit.

I have never drunk Red Bull.

It is, however, my son's formula one team of choice. He is wrong, of course, but no-one is going to compete with a big red bull on the car .
