Retweet/like if you think we should start a petition to get Paula Vennells CBE removed?

If there's enough interest I think we should, least we can do for those that have suffered

Today marks 5 years since the prostatectomy op that meant Grandad (@CaPP3) was cancer free. We know how lucky we were, & we know that precious extra time depended on getting checked.
So here's a reprise of our song two years ago with @ProstateUK ❤️
🗣️Have that chat

Here's our tribute to legend @ShaneMacGowan, a parody we've called "Fairytale of New Born" - which draws on @poguesofficial iconic track #fairytaleofnewyork (🤞 for 🎄#1) to tell story of the #Christmas #Nativity in a new 🎶 way...🎅

A quick heads-up to let you know a Christmassy video is up for #IfThatDayComesRound's B side (raising money for @BritishRedCross: https://t.co/kNmmhVw2uA).

The B side, called "Raise a Smile", is about pulling together when someone's feeling low ❤️👇🎄🎶

To start the same eleven players in 3 games within 7 days and beat Chelsea & Manchester Utd with a draw at PSG in between is nothing short of remarkable. Eddie Howe & #NUFC continue to defy all the odds this season and continue to make the city proud of this team.

Great to see our @wcrfint project findings published in @BMCMedicine today📄 We found that greater adherence to the WCRF/AICR Cancer Prevention Recommendations was associated with lower risk of all cancers combined and of 7 individual cancers

An Irishman had the last laugh at his funeral with a gag from beyond the grave that had mourners in tears of laughter. Shay Bradley organized the recording that was done in one take, over a year before the funeral to be played after his coffin was lowered to the ground
