It can be very hard work getting access to certain jabs. I had to be very proactive in getting the shingles vaccine for an immunosuppressed family member (who is also 70 plus). I also note that these are very expensive privately (£460 for a course). I wonder if cost affects the NHS campaign.

Loved it. Would have preferred it not to be on theme week as I think a more traditional glamorous costume would have added to it.

A bit puzzled by that marking tbh. It was ok but quite self contained.

Yeah. It was quite quirky but I liked it. I agree he has a huge advantage.
I want him to bring that skill to his latin and ballroom which is good but he could take up a notch.

I thought it was amazing though, and I absolutely hate couple’s choice.

Financial implications would be massive. I wonder if Trump’s government would then abandon its fondness for RFK and his conspiracy theories purely for practical reasons?

Easy for me as not very interested anyway. I just don’t find it much fun anymore irrespective of who’s taking part.

I despise him too. Because Labour’s mimicking Reform now it means Reform become even more extreme to differentiate their policies.
In particular, Farage’s attack of Indefinite Leave to Remain is reckless and I don’t think it’s something they would have done if Starmer had stood firm on the Left.

For the first time in years I was apprehensive about travelling into central London today. I can’t imagine how it is for ethnic minorities.
Ironically I went to a research open day at Moorfields. The speakers, who represent the best of ophthalmic research in the UK, were from a diverse demographic.

I think it was originally a command for troops to meet at an appointed place. (Present yourselves!)

I love marzipan, but to be honest, I wasn’t a huge fan of Angela Lansbury (influenced by my grandmother who didn’t like her) and so I’m not surprised by this disconnect!
Still sad to see a difference of opinion between the two of us! 😥😥😥😂

Sadly previously fringe views have entered mainstream opinion now. People are even targeting those born here. Also many offering poorly informed opinions. Yesterday I was shocked to hear a v well known actor opine that refugees without ID should be automatically returned to their country of origin.

Also I have a horrible feeling Shirley and Anton will quite like him and save him if he falls into the dance off.

Agree, a dreadful signing and a real shame because some of the others are really good.

It’s a difficult one though. Not always easy to prove. I think Harvard have produced a tool which aims to identify such cases.
