Too many reactions to learn. I much preferred subjects in which you could work out the answer without having to remember too much. Which is why I was never much good with languages.

I've found I usually got on alright with languages, but organic chemistry used to bore the tits off me.
(Mind you, this was A-level chemistry, where most of the lab sessions seemed to involve little more excitement than pouring a colourless liquid into another colourless liquid to create a third colourless liquid...)

And Bartleby m'dear, I like inorganic chemistry too, I just find this stuff more fun. It's all chemical composition and it makes it easier to see why reactions occur. :D

of 'Hey Bo Diddley' and 'Who Do You Love.' It's a great way to open the set - sends the drummer up first to bash out the rhythm, then the bassist gets up and plays along, and then he just saunters through the crowd, up onto the stage and picks up a guitar.

I've probably raved about him before, but I still maintain he's one of the best things on the British blues scene at the moment. I shall have to drag you along next time he's playing in London.
