What if no matter how much good you do, how well you do nothing gets better? Nobody says "well done," nobody says "I'm proud of you." If my life isn't any better doing well, then what's the point in even trying? What's to stop me just checking out.....

@BelfastLive In a world populated by over 7 billion people, nobody should ever die alone....

I don't watch Strictly at all, so when I heard that Bill Bailey had won I was a tad surprised. I just watched a few of his routines via YouTube and I have to say I'm really impressed. He danced so well considering he'd never had any experience. So I have to say, well done Bill!!

@BEBE_su @JSRafaelism @RayLawley @GWShorter @kathrynjohnston @AnnTravers6 @chrismrintoul @extern1978 @charlie_extern @PSNIBelfast @wudzee0 being arrested fallen? No! It had remained stable and even at times risen. Zero tolerance doesn't work! You can't arrest your way out of a health crisis. If we ran around arresting people with cancer it wouldn't stop people getting cancer. It's time for a different approach...

Listening to a special series of the NY Times podcast 'The Daily' called the Caliphate. Absolutely harrowing details on how ISIS indoctrinates young volunteers into killing and carrying out horrific acts. Really worth a listen

@McgregorUFC2 do NOT fight Khabib in Russia. This isn't Rocky 4, you can't beat him there. Anywhere else in the world and you can beat him...
