@LNER 1E19 since when was it the norm to have 1 drink service in a 2.5 hour first class train journey. Not the normal first class experience you offer. Preferential treatment to those joined in NCL who have had 2 drinks within 45 minutes. Plenty of other TOCs to use.

Hi @annalapwood ! So looking forward to tonight. It’s Adams birthday present again! This is the third year we’ve been to see you for his birthday (Halle, Glasgow Cathedral &previously) he would absolutely love it if you said happy birthday to him again! (It’s a special one… 50!)

@annalapwood hey Anna! Last year I took Adam to your Saint Sean’s concert with the Halle in Manchester for his birthday and you gave him a shout out. Tonight we are coming to see you in Glasgow for this year’s birthday present! Can’t wait to hear and see you again!

@mcclg @CoP_RDAC @ParamedicsUK Thanks for posting this! Unable to make it so very helpful to see what’s happening and who to reach out to…

[Derek Ford @derekford85]

Sadly unable to attend @ParamedicsUK conference this week. However, feel like I am there in spirit with all the live updates. Hopefully make it next year…. #ParaCon24

@HelenBevan @ambobird Yes! It’s so difficult to get them to engage and listen - which is as frustrating as being told no constantly. Things need to change.

@NishaKatona just made your “Gollum Chicken Curry” for tonight’s dinner. I was dubious about using canned spinach but it works a treat! Should never have doubted you. Can’t wait to eat it later #30minutemowgli

@Alice__Cochrane @Para_Practice I did it last year. Great opportunity to share your thoughts and help others in the same position! Happy writing!

[Derek Ford @derekford85]

@Escapaulogy OMG me too! Feel robbed

@jasonleitch Really nice to meet you again today after 15 years! #SPSPdatasets #NHSTayside #Improvement #qulaityimprovement

@Kirsty_LLR @ParamedicsUK @UoBParamedic @HuddersfieldUni @NHSNEY I arranged my own UC placement at York Hospital as my elective placement in third year. Definitely worth it and taught me lots in MSK assessment and note writing!

Final leg of my journey… @on_lothianbuses #Number26 #SunBearBus it’s been a long but very thought provoking day! @ParamedicsUK #CoPAberConf #ParamedicsScotland hopefully the next one is closer to home!

[Derek Ford @derekford85]

@Beathhigh Just missed you… I have one of your books in my bag if you had a pen handy!

[Derek Ford @derekford85]

@LNER that Apple frangipane tart on your #FirstClass Deli menu is incredible! 👌❤️

[Derek Ford @derekford85]

Early start, but get to enjoy a trip on this old beauty up to Aberdeen! @ParamedicsUK #ParaEvent #ParamedicsScotland

@JoelSymonds999 @EdiAirport Try waiting 2 weeks for 2 bags off a London flight!

@reallorraine Me and @AdamStewart__ binge watching it now. Up to episode 5.. bloody hilarious. Loving Australian comedy. Poor Colin though. #ColinFromAccounts
