@campaign_itt @Bianco_Lab I think the loop is broken if the thyroid isn’t working properly never mind absent.

@danny_robins @ciaranokeeffe Would they all hallucinate the same thing though?

@paullewismoney I was thinking the same. You would think BBC Sport would ask him how it’s pronounced. But he has lived in the UK since he was 16 so has maybe accepted his name being anglicised and says it that way himself now.

Why has the BBC snooker commentary ski team decided to pronounce Wu Yize so badly? A quick search finds useful guides.

@DennyTWright @MartinSLewis I know M&S now say sale items are non-returnable but surely if it’s ‘faulty’ that doesn’t apply? Could she have known it had holes in it or were they in packaging?

@MartinSLewis A £1 balloon to Poundland. Bought an 8 and a 0 for my dad’s 80th birthday party. Went to inflate them at the venue and the 8 was an S. Took them both back two days later, as one was no use without the other, got my £2 back.

@thyroiduk_org @MichaelRosenYes If it’s more than 9.5 years since issue you’ll likely need a new one, depending on the rules where you’re going. Bit of a con really as they no longer add any remaining time to your new one.

@MichaelRosenYes @wils97460 The additional time added from a previous passport no longer counts since Brexit, that’s the main difference.

@MartinSLewis Husband and I paid £1 each for return flights from Edinburgh to London, the rest was paid in Avios collected through Tesco Clubcard points over the years. Great 60th birthday week visiting old haunts, friends, and family.

@MartinSLewis I’m watching Brookside at the moment. Would love to go back to that time!

@NUSTUFER @HughVMcLachlan @afneil It was originally named alumium, then aluminum. Aluminium was adopted later to sound more like other elements.

@MrsP1001 @haveigotnews Funny how they always manage to deliver the junk mail.

This is incredibly worrying news. Measles is a highly contagious and dangerous virus. It can cause severe complications such as deafness, brain damage and death – and young children under five are particularly vulnerable.

Measles is also one of the most highly infectious viruses. Spending just 15 minutes in direct contact with someone infected with measles is enough to catch it yourself.

This outbreak is likely to be linked to low levels of MMR vaccination in the capital – which is itself a tragedy because these patents are trying to protect their children from harm, fearful that the disinformation spread by antivaxxers may be true.

If you are a parent who feels worried about the MMR, please, I urge you, read the excellent, evidence-based NHS information on MMR by searching for "NHS" and "MMR".

I promise you, as an experienced doctor who cares more about patient safety than anything, that I would never encourage use of a medicine whose safety did not vastly outstrip its potential risks (which, for MMR, are very rare – and, most notably, large scale trials have shown the vaccine to have no demonstrable link whatsoever to autism).

Please also consider reading the author Roald Dahl’s heartbreaking account of the death of his daughter, Olivia, aged 7, from measles, which I have shared in the images below in full.

In the agony of his grief, all he wanted to do was save other parents from such suffering by encouraging them to get their children vaccinated:

“Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old… I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything.
“Are you feeling all right?” I asked her.
“I feel all sleepy,” she said.
In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead.”
- Roald Dahl

Please share. Thank you 🙏

An algorithm’s watching me, I am not certain why,
It sends advertisements for things I do not want to buy,
It makes me feel uneasy, that upon me it has preyed,
And if I could locate it, I would whack it with a spade.
