@cormac_mcginley A sea-swept pool ball? Possibly No1 or 9.

@Springboks @EnglandRugby Phew...

I'm on Bluesky now, it's amazing how many of the commentators I value are already there.

@DearIain @BBCRadioScot @BBCScotlandNews I wondered about that, surely it's the UK Government they should sue.

[Drpetrie48 @drpetrie48]

@NeilMackay Crikey, I just said that to someone.

[Drpetrie48 @drpetrie48]

@RoddyQC But then again, a time may come when they're glad they did.

@DrRJSimpson Statutory services see the 3rd Sector as a cheap servant, not a partner.
Once upon a time that Sector had some influence, and could offer a constructive critique of social policy, often from a service users perspective. I think it might be a "brave" charity that did that today.

@Mental_Elf Can't open the link.

[Drpetrie48 @drpetrie48]

@RoddyQC It's great to have that connection though, I coached a couple of kids at those stages who later wore Scottish jerseys. No harm in being pleased, even at a distance. 👍

[Drpetrie48 @drpetrie48]

@dhothersall I think there are accounts that do that, although I'm not sure if this is one.

[Drpetrie48 @drpetrie48]

@DrRJSimpson Don't pregnant women have a hand-held record at present?

[Drpetrie48 @drpetrie48]

@emmacsullivan_ @Mental_Elf @n_higsonsweeney You'd think this should be a routine competence in all nurse training and particularly mental health nursing.

Poor sleep is common to most ill health, and poor mental health in particular.

@lokiscottishrap Sent you what I took to be a thoughtful DM. However some sort of X verification thing happened, so I maybe didn't. 🤦‍♂️

@henningwehn Estne veritas in vino?

[Drpetrie48 @drpetrie48]

@ThatsTVScotland @unisonscot Doesn't targeting one politician by inconveniencing his constituents (and neighbours) seem quite sociopathic and very close to stalking behaviour?

[Drpetrie48 @drpetrie48]

@ScotNational Discrete, yet very dignified response by the North Macedonian government.

[Drpetrie48 @drpetrie48]

@GavinBarwell They could move to the Scottish model.

[Drpetrie48 @drpetrie48]

@MalcH 😂😂😂

[Drpetrie48 @drpetrie48]

@ellygriffiths I think you're right.

[Drpetrie48 @drpetrie48]

@sturdyAlex Is there not an element of this administration being hoist on its own petard?
Many of them were silent or complicit as the same sort of media furor destroyed Corbyn.
