🚨BREAKING : first woman BLOODY DID IT!🥇

@ian_wfc Probably not. Presume you’ve done the football museum (if not then recommended). Beer wise there is Hövels Hausbraurerei but better still and slightly niche, Bergmann brauerei. Now has a shiny proper brewery but still maintains a fun ‘kiosk’ bar in town that is worth a look.

Brilliant commentary today in really difficult circumstances. Thanks for saving the Worthing fans once our own commentary wasn’t working today. A very enjoyable listen.

The conduct of Nottingham Police Force has been nothing short of atrocious.
We have seen nothing but consistent incompetence, blame shifting and blatant lies.
This isnt 1989. Its now.
Today.
A Public accountability bill would make all of these lies and omissions a criminal offence!!!

A couple of years ago my life was saved by a very special man.

His name is Hanny Anwar. He’s a surgeon at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital. He removed the cancer from the base of my spine. Along with a lot of bone.

But he did so much more than that.

Surgeons have a reputation for being cocky, arrogant and cursed with poor people skills. Hanny isn't like that. As well as being exceptionally gifted, he's also a very thoughtful and spiritual man.

Once he'd diagnosed my cancer as chordoma, he explained to me that it has a very high recurrence rate. On average, there's a 60% chance that chordomas return.

I was trying to get my head around this. That I was going to put myself through brutal surgery with a long recovery, losing bladder bowel and sexual function... to emerge with the odds against me.

Hanny said something to me that I'll never forget.

He reassured me that if the cancer did return that it could be treated with radiotherapy or further surgery. He told me that the hospital treats patients with recurrent cancer that live for decades.

'So if it comes back, it's not necessarily a death sentence?', I asked.

'No more than life is', he replied.

Wow. It was such a great answer, I burst out laughing.

In that moment I knew that I completely trusted him. I felt immensely privileged to be his patient.

Along with his colleague who also operated on me, John Afolayan, he is currently trekking ONE HUNDRED KILOMETRES across THE SAHARA DESERT. It will take them five days.

Yes, they're insane.

But they’re doing it to raise money for the @thernohcharity.

All the money raised goes back into NHS services at the hospital to help more patients in the future.

The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital is our only national orthopaedic hospital. It treats patients from all over the country, including injured service personnel and people like me who suffer from rare bone cancer.

Anything you can give will make a massive difference.

Surely they deserve it.

Thank you.

@CeliaBedelia In the meantime check out Yaktrax. In the UK we only need the coil models but they are transformative in terms of getting around and it looks like there are spikier versions suitable for glass like ice.

@spenley Definitely recommend a proper heavy sellotape dispenser…will elevate this to another level

The final entry of the diary is now done: the day we reached John o' Groats. It was moving and epic and I hope I've done the ride and Tim justice. https://t.co/7Mw679UWFZ

[Helen Allison @helallison]

@EatSleepCycle It’s very sad. Firstly that it’s closed and secondly the reported plans for it 😢😢

[Helen Allison @helallison]

@hilo_hughes @Number10cat You are all right. I suspect my 80 yr old mum could still recite it without the book 🥰
