Linking People from Business and Academia across the Cambridge Region

Gentlemen (and ladies) hats off to Gail Trimble

I read with no surprise that Gail Trimble, the star of University Challenge and ( very discreet)heroine of Corpus Christi College Oxford, has received so many spiteful and aggressive postings on the internet for being brainy and knowledgeable.
Those out there in cyber wonderland and with limited sms (il)literacy have their own media created stars called Colleen, Chantal, Jordan, Jade,etc.
They are in the majority so the media feeds them nourishment.
Oh if only, if only ..... but wishful thinking is of no use.
I rest my commentary . Those who know, know ,and them that don't, don't.
