Superb post Jo I didn't actually understand the weird assessment commenced which appeared to say, "On a point of correction, my (=David Cameron) mother's still alive, unlike Lady Thatcher. who is". Lady Thatcher is still alive isn't she? I mean she has a carotid pulse technically. Best wishes Dr Shibley Rahman @shibleyrahman

Excellent post. I am almost against the happiness policy because it has been advocated by the Coalition government, but this is indeed a very poor reason. What I feel we must avoid at all costs is an improving GDP in Britain, but people are miserable. In other words, we have 2 million unemployed, but because of -0.2% GDP we consider it a triumph. Like most of your readers, I've blogged on it elsewhere http://www.shibleyrahman.com/ is my blog and I recently like you posted on happiness, but not nearly with any of the authoritative evidence. I hope you enjoy it nonetheless. http://www.shibleyrahman.com/dr-shibley-rahman-viewpoint/smile.php Here is my professional profile anyway, to demonstrate that I am happy, despite being a Company Director in England. http://www.linkedin.com/in/drshibleyrahman Best wishes Dr Shibley Rahman

This is absolutely brilliant. It's really emotionally very rewarding for me, as I was in a wheelchair following my meningitis in 2007. I did my entire Bachelor of Law from a beside. I am very passionate about e-learning. I wish you every luck with your initiative here. My website is http://www.lawandmedicine.org.uk and I specialize in e-learning for law and medicine. I also have a general free guide which I make available called http://www.mrcpguide.com I have had these websites professionally designed, but I believe that the key to running a successful e-learning company is focussing on the needs of the customer, and encouraging as much interaction as possible. My profile here is http://younoodle.com/people/shibley_rahman I write briefly about medical education on my personal blog too, http://shibleyrahman.com (http://www.shibleyrahman.com) On the most important issue, I have long thought that I should bolt on some sort of social network like Facebook for all members of my e-learning site. No-one's every done that before, but I feel that there's a lot of attraction in an on-line regulated social online university. I would love anyone to have a look! Best wishes. Dr Shibley Rahman
