Those who know me are aware of how easy going I am, however a few things do get me slightly agitated, being an analytical chemist in a former life, one of those is stupid marketing gimmiks dressed up like science.  I love adverts for nano some hybrid particle face cream with active oxygen, but a recent toothpaste ad  has beaten them all...

Toothpaste with Liquid Caclium to repair your teeth...

Update: 25 July 2006 : Gottem, They showed this ad again on UKTV G2 on Sky on 25 July 2006 at 10:30pm.  If you go to here http://www.asa.org.uk/asa/ how_to_complain/ complaints_form/ you can complain about there wild claims...... 

Another attempt at Self Flagellation, I'm doing the Great North Bike Ride again !       Yes, I'm again planning to dot he 50 miles Great North Bike ride from Seahouses to Tynemouth in support of the Chris Lucas Trust.  I did it last year and survived, so I thought I could do it again this year.  However, last year I wasn't sure I could do it, so started training in April (the ride's on the Bank Holiday Sunday in August).  This year I've done two training rides this year, so am not quite as well prepared....  

I'll try to take a camera this time to share the experience, anyone who wants to share the pain as well should sign up here.  See you on the start line !
