    Hi,

    I’ve just finished watching the P1 lectures, and the lecturer (is it Mike Little?) gave some very useful acronyms for remembering important information. I’ll type out what I remember, but are there any that I missed? If anyone can fill in the gaps, and add any extra ones I’d be very grateful.

    Thanks John,

    I was just about to ask about Clarissa. I had a vague recollection, but I wasn’t sure if I had just imagined it!
