The 'uncomfortable conversation with the nurse' part reminded me of a story...
A platoon of squaddies are being briefed by their Sgt Major about their forthcoming jungle survival exercise.
"Listen up you lot. There are three things about this exercise that are virtually important to remember"...

Back in the day doing river surveys you were told to taste the scat.
If it was fishy you had otters.
If it wasn't fishy you had an uncomfortable conversation the nurse.

I lived in a flat in Reading, Berkshire in the early 1990s. Next to the flat was a field where I sometimes walked. After heavy rain the field was underwater & I even saw swans swimming on it. In the mid 2000s I was surprised to see new homes on that field.

The court case I was a witness for on Monday continued until 6pm yesterday (Tuesday) when I wasn't present. The judge found for the claimant who I supported & praised us 3 witnesses as clear & credible. Huge relief.

I have very little interest in competitive sport & hadn't watched any Winter Olympics. I've heard several people talking about snowboard half pipe I found a BBC video on YouTube. Holy shit, what they do looks miraculous. Then watched GB's skeleton win. 70MPH+ on a tea tray. They must be certifiable.

Back from court. Not as awful as I feared but not the way I’d choose to spend a morning. Surprised at how tiring it was. Loads of hanging around, 20 minutes giving evidence. Won’t know the outcome for a few days.

I’m in court today, witness for the prosecution. First time in more than a decade I’ve worn a tie. First time this millennium I’ve worn this tie. Other ties I sold on eBay as Zegna idle in the wardrobe a poor use of useful £.

dear media, Jim Ratcliffe’s far-right language does not mean it’s a green light for a phone-in asking ‘is he right?’ it’s the moment to call out his use of far-right language

It would be great if Ratcliffe could do for INEOS sales what Muskkk did for Tesla sales. Sadly, they don’t seem to make any consumer products apart from a knock off of a 50 year old Land Rover that no one in their right mind would buy anyway.

Radcliffe should remember we immigrants and children of immigrants are here because of British colonisation and make a huge contribution. He moved to Monaco to avoid £4bn tax. His club Man U owes everything to migrant players and migrant supporters. He’s an embarrassment to the club and game.
