George Russell claims Max Verstappen's engineering team sent out CVs after Hungary...

"25% of his engineering team were sending their CVs to Mercedes, to McLaren, to Aston Martin, because they said they can’t deal with a guy like that."

@RealScottyLad My 10 days runs up to 23:59 on Weds, have managed to time it perfectly 🤣

Covid isolating day 8. I think I might have to do the full stretch….

[Deborah Connolly @deb_connolly]

@RealScottyLad All the shorter test strips were nose-only, longer ones nose & throat. Started feeling rough on 13th, 2 +ve nose swab LFT but still -ve on nose & throat. By 14th all tests +ve, nose only ones showed almost instantly, nose & swab ones still only showing faint +ve after 30mins 🤷🏼‍♀️

[Deborah Connolly @deb_connolly]

I’ve definitely got covid 😐😷

[Deborah Connolly @deb_connolly]

@kendraquinn12 Also this!! In a former job, where I had to wear a suit occasionally, I ended up with trousers from the tall section & a jacket from petite. #LongLegsShortBody

[Deborah Connolly @deb_connolly]

@kendraquinn12 And judging by that one leg length, we are all 5ft tall

[Deborah Connolly @deb_connolly]

@kendraquinn12 Unfortunately, to get them over my hips I need a big waist size in men’s. Which means they are huge on the waist. And even bigger on the thighs. I have big rower thighs, but could fit both mine into one trouser leg with room to spare 🤦🏼‍♀️ I look like I’m wearing clown pants 2/2

[Deborah Connolly @deb_connolly]

@kendraquinn12 I’m having fun with my work uniform atm. Women’s trousers in my size fit fine but WAY too short. Women’s ones only come in one leg length. Same style men’s trousers come in 3 leg lengths. Long are great. 1/2

[Deborah Connolly @deb_connolly]

@kendraquinn12 This!!

Just been boosted 💉 Fab effort from my GP surgery, longest I stood still was when having the jab itself. GP did the jab, her husband was helping with the queue & daughter helping with admin, looked like the other GPs had all roped in family members to help too #NHS #BoosterJab
