Occasional insightful tweets about dementia and ageing. Plenty of rubbish about football and politics

Have you ever wanted to use an obscure marxist sociological theory to hide your screaming and shouting about how hospitals fail people living with dementia, with a focus on permissions for going to the toilet? Well I did, and I'm stupidly proud of it.

Fully prepared for this to be hated or ignored, but I am ridiculously proud of this little paper on using Rhythmanalysis to understand the clashes between dementia and care in hospital, and in Social Sceince and Medicine of all places

@robpalkwriter Ok, so you can order a pint of whiskey in some bars in Japan (or you could), but it's meant for the table (or for twenty something English teachers on a dare), not as a brunch accompaniment

Must say I preferred the world when the worst a mad entrepreneur could do was invent a weird little car and give kids an affordable introduction to computers.

This is one of those things that sounds like a good idea until all of the NHS trusts are suddenly only focussed on whatever the performance targets are that month rather than actually solving complex issues

Slowly moving over to the other site but it really feels like unpacking after a house move

Another reminder that one day I really have to write up my paper on soup and NHS care outcomes

How has a bunch of ultras getting their arses handed to them taken over the news cycle in an election week?

@mcc_smithy @VinylOffers It is now on the 'there are too many records on this shelf' shelf in the hope that flattens it a bit. The Pi looks good though, thanks for the heads up

[Andy Northcott @andynorthcott]

@VinylOffers Im hoping somewhere a work experience kid is happy nobody noticed he messed up on his first day. It's keeping me from an 'old man yells at cloud' moment

[Andy Northcott @andynorthcott]

So an alright one, a good one and then just randomly bringing back Darth Vader, Jar Jar Binks and an AI Christopher Lee for the final one?
