You have to be very patient with hamsters. They never answer any questions about their symptoms. You could wait years for the interview to progress with your very first patient.

At risk of being unfair they have somewhat underachieved as a species. They're very rarely mentioned in history books although I suppose history is written by the winners.

Some proper jobs there- astronaut, a midwife, a vet.

I don't know how I thought I'd make an income, but kids don't think about money do they; I wanted to be a hippy like Ghost and travel the world drawing it. Have exhibitions obviously, but mainly talk to people and draw them, where they lived and what they did. I really thought that would be my life till I was 21.

Can't help thinking the hippy world is poorer for our absence.

On August 22, 1964, the Beatles arrived in Vancouver to perform their first-ever Canadian concert at Empire Stadium. They almost didn't make it. According to a press conference given upon their arrival, the Fab Four's pilot nearly cost them the gig thanks to some paperwork.

They all got off the plane with the long hair, after that it caught on and all the boys started growing their hair long. Parents weren't very happy about it I understand.

But they have never written a bestseller or even had a record in the top twenty
