Retired emergency doctor.

When I began school, my mum told me that if I didn't want to be pretty, I'd have to be a doctor. Best career advice I ever had.
The IRA changed because Catholic priests entered the Maze prison and educated its leaders, while the Protestant prisoners just marched up and down the corridors. During the peace process, the IRA hit the ground running, while the Protestant paramilitaries never really understood what was going on.

I came to England as a refugee and voted for the first time - as an Irish citizen. My husband is from NI but going through UK immigration would have been far too much hassle.

Ever used Temu UK? Recently I wanted a TF card for my Chinese hub, and they were the only people who sold them. Delivery was slow, but I got a very good deal. So I decided to use them again to buy a pack of 4 AAAA batteries for a USI pen. Delivery was even slower, but again it was a great deal.

The NHS has been in decline for many years and I never encouraged my children to go into it. My daughter did and left after F2. Now my younger son wants to do grad med. They watched me being ground down over the years but still want to do it.

We live not far from Armagh, where St. Malachy was from. So when my husband started talking about his prophesy, I had to put my foot down. www.catholic.com/magazine/onl...

My father became a clerk in the Ceylon Office in 1944, and his job was to summarise the proceedings of the Bretton Woods conference. When the independence of India was discussed, Keynes pleaded for it to remain in the British Empire and my father was told to "find out more about that Keynes fellow".

Ce sale connard de #JDVance est allé faire le mariole à Rome, histoire de se la péter "je suis un bon croyant".
Mais il n'a pas eu le courage d'aller jusqu'à Kiev, Odessa, Kharkov, pour voir de ses yeux la terreur des bombardements russes. Il préfère s'en tenir à répéter la propagande russe.

Any sane person would get the hell out of the United States as quickly as possible, but Starmer is doing the exact opposite. His lack of awareness is spectacular.
