Always the last to respond, but here goes.

I know I was supposed to be terribly moved by the paedophile subject but I wasn't. I've started to be irritated by things that up to now I barely noticed, or, if I did notice, shrugged off. Patients giving a run down of the circumstances in which they came by their injuries is one such. The paedophile giving his life history, the woman talking about being on the way to meet her date. The medical staff don't care! Shut up! I had to go to A&E earlier this week and if, as they were taking me to be examined at 6.30 am, I'd started explaining that we'd been looking at paint charts the night before and discussing what our boys want for Christmas, and I'd gone to bed fine but woken up in agony, and oh, I really wanted to get the sitting room painted before Christmas, they'd have thought I'd lost my mind. If they'd just vary the format occasionally it would help.

Sam continues to annoy the sh*t out of me. "How did that guy get Max's bag?" Duh, Sam. Homeless man, sleeping on the street or in hostels and shelters. As I am constantly saying to my 12 year old "If you thought for a moment before asking the question you wouldn't need to ask the question." And does she only work with Gates now? "You won't let me in!". Ever feel like hitting him with a hammer?

And another thing - what's with the stand off about her ditching work to go with him? If he's acting as a doctor in search of a patient that's one thing but her? Why? I agree with Max being Gates's Bishop Stewart - but he's also the Homeless Hobbits of Christmas Past. And my goodness, watching them drive around looking for the chap - I wondered whether he'd ditch her once they found him. Good job there are no antelopes in Chicago. Camels, yes. You know what would make me heave? If she decides she wants a baby with Gates. Seriously, I'd do someone an injury.

And more recycling - Neela is channeling Abby when she was supposed to be supervising Jake with the "I'm better off on my own and not supervising med students/interns". I'm glad she was scolded; I really disliked the way she didn't let Andrew properly articulate his concerns last week, and then made it all his fault. And speaking of Andrew, why doesn't his accent match his sister's? Were they seperated as children and brought up in completely different parts of the country?

The paedophile who was beaten up had precious little swelling and bruising for someone who took such a pounding to his face. Perhaps the effects people were overcome after being given the go ahead to spray the Kensington Gore around. "The show's ending! Use the stock up!".

And finally Brenner. I want to care. I tried to care, but what's the point? He'll be gone in a few months and I can't be arsed. If it had been Archie, or Frank, I'd have been crying along with him but this bloke, no. In just the same way that Banfield's back story did nothing to make me like her, especially as it is pretty much 100% recycled, so this didn't make me look at Brenner in a new light. And it feels a bit like Abby too - you think I'm a sourpuss/mysoginistic arsehole but just look at my childhood.

Thank God for Archie Morris and his sweet brown eyes.
