Another brilliant pharmacy prescribing option - your pharmacist can prescribe anti- viral medication (which you need prescribed within 72 hours) if you have shingles.

If ever there was a situation in which the ‘phone snatching’ that he’s wailing about would be an act of public service…

Would ‘day one’ rights have made it unlawful for employers to write probation periods into employment contracts?

Congratulations. How lovely.

Even at the time I was astounded that the summer was not taken as an opportunity to get really bold and creative about how to keep schools safely open - even if children were not all in every day. I was a trustee of a MAT desperate to support families in our poor part of London

And there is something really satisfying about seeing the rice plump and the stock getting absorbed into a texture that magically gets creamy.

While I have sympathy with the views of the questioner, this is just so unfair! I suspect you wouldn’t support it if the questioner was someone on a far right protest demanding, on camera, that an individual cop give an account of himself. Go after the system. This is just a guy doing his job.

Off to walk the dog in the autumn sunshine. None of the myriad terrible things happening are going to get worse because I don’t instantly know about them (is what I have to keep reminding myself!)

It’s exactly how I feel. And on the subject of feeling safer, it would be helpful if politicians didn’t use an *actual* antisemitic attack as a reason to diminish the right to democratic protest. If they find themselves backed into an idiotic corner, I’d really rather they found their own way out.

Pork recipes at this time of year? Bold move!

Well what do you know - it’s women being terrified into ‘toughing out’ pain and fever on the basis of no evidence whatsoever. Amazing how this kind of unutterable nonsense never puts the men who peddle it in line for risk and pain.
