@Beathhigh No turrets on mine but I did have music lessons in this dome, a long, long time ago.

@LiamMcIlvanney Not really a lot of dosh for a venerable Don! In any case, they're really giving them away with cashback: it says minus £75 🤣

@rdbarrowauthor @Lou_Bookmarks It'll hide the yawn but you may appear too enthusiastic. 🤣 #Makarios or Scots word #Glaikit

@colinmcgill That's kind of you, Colin! Gratifying to hear. I have no doubt you're paying it forward and fostering self-belief in your PGDE students.

Heard so many politicians saying don't wish to make vaccination compulsory for care staff. How do they feel about unvaccinated folk washing, dressing, feeding elderly relatives? Compulsion not realistic/fair for existing staff & redundancy undesirable but re-deployment is poss.

Correct Emma Vardy; the IRA have been shooting people for 50 years. And it’s largely ignored. And then we’re ‘shocked’ when Lyra Mc Kee was murdered, or we have riots.
So much superficial analysis by so many ( not you!).Keep asking questions please.
It can be better.
