@StephenNolan What a reductionist approach. Face to face? I work in a team of 10 in a small charity working to prevent Alzheimer's: Ireland, NI, Scotland, Wales, England. Our communication, camaraderie, productivity and creativity is through the roof. I have friends for life.

@mikenesbittni @StephenNolan I've just seen 63 yr old denied a flu vaccine. She used the word 'terrified': close family member died in hospital from flu yesterday/another family member is in hospital & she needs to visit. This is not good enough. I'm 'lucky' - I was able to pay.

@wesstreeting - weight loss doesn't necessarily equal health. Unless people are changing their nutrition and lifestyle, it's just a change in weight, not health. Please factor this in to your plans 🙏

@timspector What about post-ozempic metabolic and gut health tho?

[Kim Close @KimCloseCooks]

@easyJet @BristolAirport Absolutely shameful treatment tonight on the Belfast flight. Delays, delays, no information, wrong information, NO staff, no point of contact, no one to help - some very distressed passengers. Do better, ex-easyjet customer

@StephenNolan - you can go abroad, get a cosmetic procedure and receive NHS care if needed - even when it has gone wrong

@GeorgiaEdeMD @lowcarb_mark Delighted to see this and I've just popped it on the (new) Food for the Brain books section 😁

@StephenNolan - afternoon energy slumps/ tiredness is likely to be a drop in blood sugar after eating a carb heavy lunch (meal deal hell!)

@timspector What about cultural differences? Collectivist v individualistic societies?

@MartinSLewis What about the people lucky enough to have maxed out their top ups? With only 90 days to use the voucher, what can be done not to be moved on to the higher tariff?

[Kim Close @KimCloseCooks]

@JackFromMorley @MartinSLewis But they also pointed out they only last for 90 days 🙄

@StephenNolan - you have no control month to month how much energy companies can take as a direct debit. The only answer is to cancel them and switch to a standing order that you DO have control of.

[Kim Close @KimCloseCooks]

@StephenNolan so if you've been in a lucky position to pre-load your electric does this mean when you top up (and presumably get a longer code to switch your rate to the new rate), they can claw back all your credit at the new, much higher tariffs?

@BBCAnyQuestions There are THREE Ukrainian dentists with one host family here in Northern Ireland (and a dentistry crisis)

[Kim Close @KimCloseCooks]

@timspector Is there a good email for you? An email came to me this morning rubbishing your work on calories and I'd like to forward you it.

[Kim Close @KimCloseCooks]

@BootstrapCook I found out the hard way that the energy provider can vary your DD amount without recourse to you! Cancelling and SO at least gives you control.
