Who knew Stan Collymore would be the hero we needed right now? Feel proud to be British.

Hello mate

I'm hoping you maybe able to assist

I'm head of maintenance at a care home in Devon and I have a resident who turns 100 this year

He's ex tankie and doesn't have his medal that he earned

A colleague and I are busy sorting that and have applied for it.

We took him to the local rememberance last year which was his first actual trip outside the home in years.

Tpr Frank Goodison
14851797
28/9/44 to 9/1/48
War medal 39/45

Rather than just handing over his medal once it arrives I'm trying to find someone of seniority in his cap badge that could present it?

He's a good bloke and we'd like to look after him

Peppi was a loyal companion, a sun worshipper, a professional napper, a part-time menace to wildlife, and a full-time legend.

Run free, Peppi.
You were small, you were mighty, and you were convinced you owned me - which of course, you did! 💙🌈 #myboy

I can’t believe that it’s been 7 years! Our lives will never be the same, but you will always be loved, remembered and talked about. Love you always Callum 💙 #MentalHealthMatters #SuicidePrevention

@BoyGeorge I was there!🙌🏼 I heard nothing other than a passionate speech and contagious laugh. Great to see how much you still love performing 😊

Someone asked me if reading about the #CovidInquiry was difficult. Difficult - not really, but it #hurts. It hurts because #carehomes, those living & working in them, were not valued. Our voices were not important - nobody listened. It hurts to feel blamed for #political failings

The Coldstream Guards Band performed Black Sabbath's masterpiece Paranoid outside of Buckingham Palace as a tribute to Ozzy Osbourne on the day of his funeral. Don't let anybody tell you this isn't a great country.

@newyorkcitykopp Just how much I would fall in love with it. Can’t wait to return.

Today is a very sad day for music. At least Ozzy got to say goodbye. Thanks for everything, Prince of Darkness.

I honestly think a mandatory 'catch up' day is required after annual leave to get handover and trawl through 5000 emails 🤣

People will get lots of jokes off about Macron getting slapped by his wife but real talk: If you’re in a relationship where someone puts hands on you, LEAVE. It’s not normal and there’s no excuse for it. People who love and respect you don’t hit you.

[Kevin W. @Brink_Thinker]

In Australia, the captain of this football team went into the stands after his team won the championship to get their waterboy, who has Down's Syndrome, so they could celebrate together.

I attended two events this week that spoke about the power of language. Have a think...🤔
Instead of recruitment & retention - move to retention & recruitment. Instead of health & social care - move to social care & health. Both more focused on prevention, more proactive terms...
