A new autobiographical book from retired doctor, 88 year-old Dr. G. Alan Rose is called 'Sex & Alcohol in Retirement.'
It's about what happened to Doctor Rose after his retirement. The alcohol part is about his work as an expert witness in a large number of drink driving cases.
However, if Doctor Rose realised that the client was trying to pull a fast one he gave them the advice to plead guilty. He didn't want to see innocent people railroaded, but then again, neither did he want to see guilty people wrongfully let off.
The sex part of his retirement came about when he helped set up a clinic to help parents determine the sex of their children.
Although this is a somewhat controversial area of medicine it is Doctor Rose's contention that, "Sex selection does not change the balance of the sex ratio if ethical guidelines are followed."
The book is highly amusing and very well-written.
This is a fascinating and well-written book. It is available in print form as a paperback and as an e-book, from Trafford Publishing, the retail price for the print edition is £9.87 or $16.20, the ISBN is 978-1-42690-051-8. Please note that VAT is applicable to e-books, but not print books.

With Funkin you have the makings of some excellent Christmas cocktails!
Most people have had a truly wonderful
cocktail, perhaps the barman at a hotel in Spain produced the perfect
Mojito for you and, ever since, you have tried to capture that taste,
but to no avail.
So-called cocktail bars that sell you
what their menu describes as for example- a Mojito but which has the nasty, bitter
taste of supermarket value range spirits with a hint of cheap
mouthwash. And which they charge you £10 for a small glass!
And mixing cocktails at home can be a
bit of an ordeal. “Just muddle three ice cubes, six grains of sugar
and...” Really? Life's too short for that!
What you need is something that will
help you produce excellent cocktails time after time. What you need
is the Funkin range.
Funkin cocktail mixers are 100% natural
and 100% authentic. And they can be mixed in about ten seconds!
And the great thing is that with a high
quality lemonade they make really great mocktails so designated
drivers, for example, can also have a good time at your next party!
Funkin come in the following varieties:
750ml consisting of Funkin Brazilian, Strawberry Daiquiri and Mojito
(EDITOR: My favourite and a silver medal winner, too!) which should
cost you £2.99 each.
There's also the 1 litre range of:
Brazilian, Strawberry Daiquiri, Mojito, Sour Mix, Cosmopolitan,
Strawberry Woo Woo and Margarita. These cost £3.99 each.
There are also some cocktail mixers
available in handy single serve 120g pouches, inlcuding Belini,
Bramble, Cosmopolitan, Margarita, Mojito, Pina Colada, Raspbery
Mojito, Strawberry Daiquiri and Strawberry Woo Woo. These cost 99p
each.
The full range of Funkin mixers is
available at Sainsbury's, Asda, Waitrose, Co-op, Ocada, Selfridges,
Harvey Nichols, Majestic Wines, Harrods, Amazon and at
www.funkin.co.uk.
