I suspect that wherever he is now, they have some Very Real Concerns about him and will treat him accordingly.

Happy new year all and your annual reminders.
at 16:47 1 Jan 2025

A reasonably calm one on the night shift last night. Managed to get all of the on-call team together for around an hour for a glass of zerosecco and British Tapas(you may know this as a 'beige buffet')between 2330 and 0030 but I'm expecting true hell on Earth tonight and the weekend.

And now, your reminder - if you've overindulged over the festive season, a couple of tips for 'detox'.

1. Own a functional liver
2. Own functioning kidneys. Two is best, but one will suffice.
3. That's it.

Happy new year all and uppa Towen.

....but we finally have a tangible Brexit Benefit.

Dear HM Treasury,
It is illegal in the EU to tax education.
School fees are not a “tax break”. Parents have already paid for a state-school place.
Stick to being sh1t at running the economy. https://t.co/RNoTJQw4qH

I just hope that the funeral directors inspected his plot for 20 minutes from each angle before committing his mortal remains to the earth.

It's what he would have wanted.

Fair play to them, they seem to have had a nice time.
I once saw Napalm Death playing at the old Army and Navy in Chelmsford. I would recommend that EVERYONE sees ND once. Terrific fun to be had.

Restart A Heart Day 2024
at 12:35 16 Oct 2024

October 16 is Restart A Heart day. Presently in the UK if you suffer a cardiac arrest outside of hospital your chance of survival is around 9%.

Research demonstrates that good, prompt CPR can and DOES make a difference.
YES! It's a BB hobby horse post.
Know where your defibrillators are locally to you.

And look to learn basic life support, obvs.
