Being pro-choice IS both sides of the abortion debate. We believe in free, safe and legal abortion for those who need and want it AND in financial/community supports for people who choose to continue a pregnancy. Free maternity care, flexi time in work, free schools etc etc!

Heard an updated news report to say 16 people now dead. Truly appalling, those poor families, just completely senseless.

@adrianweckler I haven't answered a call I wasn't expecting since 2007 so I don't know what they want, but many many calls from the UK in the past week. My husband's phone too, UK and Belgium.

@CedarAndHoney Yous would actually be welcome to invade! We like the Canadians!

I firmly believe the #ToyShow is Ireland's first line of defence. Cos like any nefarious entity watching us considering taking us over would surely look at Paddy Kielty dressed as chicken jockey and think ...nah. You're grand. We'll leave you be. #LateLateToyShow

The entire Liverpool squad needs to leap out of a Christmas tree for Layla. I won't accept anything less. #ToyShow #LateLateToyShow

Parents: if you buy a small electrical item like a tablet from Power City and get it delivered, they deliver it just in its own box, no packaging so you can see what it is. It is the big present for our lad this year who is home sick from school who almost saw it. So beware!

[Karen Mulreid @beatingblog]

@Drimoley I got one for him a few years ago!! And yes, Lego is always on the menu here, he's an AFOL so I always get him some. Have looked up a couple of books and got a cool hand carved slate coaster for him too. That'll do!!

Middle aged friends, what are you buying your husbands/partners for Christmas? If you are a middle aged man, please tell me what you would like if you were to receive a present from your equally middle aged wife. Thank you! (No alcohol or coffee based presents please!)

@SeanRey57043948 His Dad does all the DIY for us so they would be useless here! But thank you!

It goes against all my principals but I actually would rat out Enoch to the cops if I saw him knocking about. I think it's probably the only time it's allowed.

[Karen Mulreid @beatingblog]

Wouldn't you think his family would have filed a missing person's report, seeing as its been 48 hrs and they don't know where he is? Having known his exact whereabouts at all times since he was born? Are they not worried about him? V strange.

There's some terribly distressing and disturbing detail of what that poor little boy went through in this piece, it's very hard. I hope he gets justice, he was just a baby.

No like is there not something The Hague can do about this daylights saving business because this has to be some sort of hate crime, surely? It's half five! Curtains closed, lights on, day over ...there's MONTHS of this depressive shit? It's BOLLOX.

@ItsCherrySue This is me, but with bras. Oh my, this bra is amazing, the girls look like I should be in a lingerie shoot, why don't I ever wear this bra?

One hour later: oh yeah, that's why.
