@Ed_Miliband release the albatross of SNP - the referendum was indecisive - talk and sort sooner not post-election. Include a la John Smith

@katie_j_lee @OT_teachyou @harlowe35 IMO The COT are a conservative lot. Loosing green cardigans, boldly using occupation is needed #otshu

[richard m pearson @richardmpearson]

we have 12 mins left. It's been really fun so far but would anyone like to add something different?

[richard m pearson @richardmpearson]

@OT_teachyou @katlow23 yes especially for new staff the temptation is not to be seen as 'the weakest link' so being well involves us all

@shuTAPtalk @OTMiz yes. i like this; it's also a good laff

[richard m pearson @richardmpearson]

@taffy10661 yes i agree. those buzzwords do alleviate/prompt further activity but are the affects long-lasting or effective enough?

If you've experienced feeling like you've worked 5 days in one, what strategies do you use to manage your health and well-being? #otshu

[richard m pearson @richardmpearson]
