Awesome! And way more than just a Euro title. For every kid like me, banned from playing footie at school and told 'football isn't for girls', this moment has been a long long time coming. #Lionesses #WEuro2022Final

@CurrieLorraine I can see a place for it in the hospital setting. Eg a discussion about the possibility of post op delirium and advance consent to a dol if that should be needed. Short term very specific, yes... long term unpredictable care arrangements,no.

Quick off the LPS starting blocks. How does @Capacitylaw do it?? https://t.co/Qh9Ds6EiVV

@TakeAShite Tina must be the OG tipster here. Unlikely Kate keeps a Celebrations tin full of cassette tapes unless this tip is from the 80's.

Loved the Baroness Hale This Is Your Life @ucl event this evening (scorpion brooch for those wondering 😉). What a lady, what a career... an amazing female role model. Also, hot news, an autobiography is in the pipeline apparently 😀

Such a good track.

Tell you one thing,
if I was a head teacher my dry January would be right out the window.

@alistaircoleman Looks like a rabbit with a Jack Russell face 😂. I mean that nicely, he reminds me of my elderly JRT, Basil ❤
