The title of this blog comes from a Gaelic expression -"putting on the poor mouth"-which means to exaggerate the direness of one's situation in order to gain time or favour from creditors.

Still the greatest living Briton
He's 93, he's Britain's only double Nobel laureate and he is worth a billion Simon Cowells, Jeremy Clarksons or any other worthless shitbag you can mention.... and yet very few Britons will be able to identify him (if you don't know, just look down and check the tag to this post then look him up!).
It's a funny old world

Agreed. An awesome contribution from a wonderful career.
I have listened to him talk, and a more self-effacing and modest mind would be hard to find. I suppose he'd need to go onto 'Strictly Come Dancing' to get any public recognition though.

True, sadly Scientist WAGs don't kiss and tell... although some tabloid tales of studliness from the scientific community would amuse!
I had to look him up. Anyone who works to improve the life of diabetics has my vote
Hell yes, Nursie!
