@eileen_parkes Here is a culinary trick that works to make pretty much everything taste good/better: butter and garlic. Plenty of both. *obvious exception = cake*
Dear @VictoriaPrentis, as one of your constituents I am unsurprised, but bitterly disappointed that you have once again chosen to support the poor decisions of our Government, and voted against free meals for hungry children this Christmas. I believe that the costs of rolling 1/3
out free meals to all qualifying children for the entire year would amount to approximately Β£260m - or around Β£200 per qualifying child. At the same time, I believe that the Parliament canteen generally runs at a loss - a cost met by the taxpayer - of about Β£3.7m per year 2/3
2/3: TESSA technology is novel #plasmidfree manufacturing system reduces cost of goods, delivers high titres, and improves AAV quality to enable development of safer #genetherapies.
@eileen_parkes Oh no. no. noooo! This is terrifying. And of course it's Billy from Neighbours! I am just realising that I have reached the age where actual adults are too young to get my cultural references. This is horrifying.
@eileen_parkes Yep. Luckily "PLEASE don't put that in your mouth / Please don't lick that!" was already a fairly common part of my vocabulary, even before COVID!
@eileen_parkes I'm actually finding it harder to explain to them why some things are allowed now, than I did at the beginning to tell them why they're not though. Anyone else?
@eileen_parkes Mine ask almost every day whether the germ is gone yet. The other day, my two year old refused to give me a hug when we were outside 'because of the germ'. Heartbreaking.
@MunkleyLab@matthew_hobbs No job too big, no grant too small! Congratulations; that's excellent news. I barely managed to string a sentence together during lockdown with no childcare, so I am very impressed. I can however now sing the whole Paw Patrol theme tune....
