@Danford2013 Eee, when I were a lad it were 1st August. We was 'appy then - didn't go on strike.
@Danford2013 We are possibly in a similar situation. Why worry if we don't need it and someone else does?
@Brian_H_Wood The phrase in aerospace seems to be 'unscheduled disassembly'
@JoeMorrisMP @AnnaBatchelor Whitley Bay came third after Stratford upon Avon and Harrogate very recently. How many of the polls are there?
My brave and courageous friend Paola who died in Dignitas earlier this. Her Stage 4 bowel cancer treatments had stopped working and she had a terrible intolerance to opioids. Paola was already in a huge amount of pain and knew she could face a horrific painful death due to what was already happening. She made the decision to travel alone to Switzerland, so as not risk her family being prosecuted and before she was ready. She wanted to be at home, surrounded by her loved ones, but was denied by the current cruel blanket ban. Many terminally ill people can’t afford to use this as an option, and over 600 a year resort to taking their own lives, often in catastrophic ways, in desperation to end their suffering. I hope that tomorrow MPs vote to stop this injustice from continuing to happen to terminally ill people #AssistedDying
Before travelling to Switzerland to control her death, Paola spent some of her final moments making the case for a law that gives dying people choice. MPs have a unique opportunity to allow that option for us all. #YesToDignity
@Jcalcolado Twas ever thus. But most of my Trust SHO grades seem to be there by choice and to give them time to decide, not through failing to obtain a training post, as I did as an SR before changing specialty.
@Jcalcolado Crazy, as so often. Your solution should be the correct one - the assisted death will have already passed by a judge in this system, so what has it to do with the coroner?
@Danford2013 @HMRCgovuk Perhaps they thought it was made of illicit drugs like the recent MDMA garden gnome. Like the Lavender Hill Mob!
@cliveryton Hardwick Park - stayed at the hotel recently while examining PACES.
@cliveryton @NHSuk What's the response? Visits to the toilet??
@christiplady @mgtmccartney Agree. My oft-repeated advice is not to follow the guideline, but to apply it to the patient whom the guideline writer has never met.
@davidashprice Welshman carrying his coracle?
@AnnaBatchelor Can visualise at least 2 surgeons, but can't recall their names. And then there was Johnny Walker, radiologist. Enjoyed my year there - friendly bunch, and even got a multi-signed leaving card - the only one until retirement!
@Danford2013 There's an inverted, rusting, Anthony Gormley on the ceiling at the Wellcome museum, methinks.
It seems that I diced with death daily in 1977-8 when living in Sedgewick Street. Emmanuel College should have done a health and safety risk assessment before assigning me to such dangerous digs.
We've updated the collision data on our Bikedata site: free access to full details of every reported traffic collision in Britain, 1999-2023. It illustrates why reallocating space for cycling+walking, and removing through-traffic, is so urgently needed. bikedata.cyclestreets.net/collisions/
@christiplady Saw 6 together last week on Monkseaton Drive. And quite common in the parks in Newcastle now.
@Danford2013 @IanFouk @RSPBSaltholme @teesbirds1 Thanks. I wondered how this eel ended up in a mountain stream in Cumbria. Eventually twigged it is a lamprey.
@IanFouk @RSPBSaltholme @teesbirds1 Eels for dinner. Cresswell pond a couple of years back. And I saw a Goosander catch an eel in the Tyne at Wylam a couple of decades back. Lived in London but never had the jellied variety.
