Who’d a’ thought 40 years ago we’ be sitting here drinking chateau du chasseur? Aye. Them’s days you’d be glad to have the prize of a cup o’tea. Aye. A cuppa’ cold tea. Not milk or sugar! Or tea… in a cracked cup and all. We never had a cup. We used to drink out of a rolled up newspaper. Best we could manage was to suck on a piece o’damp cloth. But you know we were happy those days, but we were poor ---

Penguins, yes, penguins. What relevance do penguins have to the furtherance of medical science? Well, strangely enough quite a lot, a major breakthrough, maybe. It was from such an unlikely beginning as an unwanted fungus accidentally growing on a sterile plate that Sir Alexander Fleming gave the world penicillin. James Watt watched an ordinary household kettle boiling and conceived the potentiality of steam power. Would Albert Einstein ever have hit upon the theory of relativity if he hadn’t been clever? All these tremendous leaps forward have been taken in the dark. Would Rutherford ever have split the atom if he hadn’t tried? Could Marconi have invented the radio if he hadn’t by pure chance spent years working at the problem? Are these amazing breakthroughs ever achieved except by years and years of unremitting study? Of course not. What I said earlier about accidental discoveries must have been wrong. Nevertheless scientists believe that these penguins, these comic flightless web-footed little bastards may finally unwittingly help man to fathom the uncharted depths of the human mind.
