I can't take it anymore...

Sat in my one lecture that I have a week and the guy has got bloody Parkinson's. I'm paying £3,290 a year to not be able to hear him and get seasick off his shaking. Ironically he is lecturing us on neurodegeneration.

Are you so annoyed you posted it twice?

And can you ask him about Lou Gehring's disease? There was a joke in the film Ted about it but I have never heard of it before.

Go on, interrupt the lecture and ask him. And tell him a bloke you don't know on a football forum you're looking at instead of concentrating on his lecture is asking

My God! You really can't take it can you?

Bloody lecture theatre is giving me s**t signal!
Lou Gehrigs Disease is Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, or more commonly refered to as Motor Neurone Disease. It's produces rapid muscle weakness due to the loss of upper and lower motor neurones in the cortex and is attributed to mutations in the SOD1 gene.

See? You are now revising thanks to RBMB.

You're welcome

So what's Lou Gehrig's disease?

I already knew that as it was covered about 7 lectures ago. Lou Gehrig's disease is the disease that Lou Gehrig had, a slight sniffle.

Okay I'll rephrase.

Does Lou Gehrig's make you shake a lot?

No it doesn't. It'll do precisely the reverse as you lose muscle and the ability to move it. Think Stephen Hawking.

Oh. So it's the quiet man's Parkinson's?

There are also two types of Parkinson's. Parkinson's disease is the spontaneous loss of dopaminergic neurones in the brain. Whilst Parkinson's Syndrome, which is what muhammed Ali had, is the loss of the neurones due to getting smacked in the head an awful lot.

Well that I didn't know

Well I'm very glad I could teach you something Slumdog.

There's not much I do know if I'm honest

Like watching a well known northern 70s chat show host with the volume turned down on the telly...
