Managed to get nineinchnails tickets for the whole clan. Tumescent with excitement 😆

Best night of the year #ofallygoodeating

A day of great solemnity and portent. After 17 years of sweating and wresting in damp cubicles; I NEVER HAVE TO OVERSEE A SWIMMING LESSON EVER AGAIN 🏊‍♂️💦🍾🥂

Sad times for the menagerie. Ms Lemon tapped out peacefully in her sleep yesterday. Hope you're eating unlimited peanuts in the sky, old lady.

Always the last case of the year that tests your coronaries 😬

Hope you've had a lovely Christmas. But just in case.

Taking my littlest to his first gig tonight. He's buzzing 😍 #Slipknot

It's time for the BMA to organise a mass defunding of the GMC. It no longer has credibility as our regulator.

One of the gremlins has gone to Manchester to visit mates. Ended up going on the coach because the train prices are so prohibitive, only a smidge less than flying there! Given how relatively environmentally efficient they are for moving people around, they should cost buttons..

As that time of year approaches again, time for the eternal question; What is the worst Christmas Song, and why is it Happy Xmas, War is Over?

Dear God, I'd forgotten how hard puppy training is 😵‍💫

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Theresa May's coordinated assault in the police service has come home to roost. By 2019 22,000 fewer officers disproportionately from the frontline services 18% real-term reduction in spending on policing 18% below inflation pay awards Attack on pensions

Anyone got their Christmas tree up yet? I have. Up in the fucking loft where it belongs for another three weeks.

Sigh. Had a good run of 19 years without it happening, but my 16y.o. just had an attempted mugging for his phone by a bunch of fuckwit roadman wannabes. 🤬🤬🤬

Stopped off on the ride home to get a bottle of red and white to put an 11 day stretch to bed. No prizes for guessing which one cracked open in my courier bag 🤦‍♂️

I wrote this thread on Twitter in April 22. I'm close to leaving Twitter now, but want this to come with me. Time muddles memory, and I want this one to be archived. I will never forgive their betrayal.

My strongest memory of COVID: I was sat in a respirator. They are horrible to wear. It made my nose stream and I'd gone deaf in one ear from pressure on my temperomandibular joint from the mask straps. I was tired. So, utterly, dog tired. I'd just reviewed a man, in his 50s

Note to self. Pack the pool away at the tail end of Summer. Not late November. 🥶❄️🥶☠️

The Elizabeth line is sardines this morning. Should have cycled 🤦‍♂️☠️

Sketchy ride in this morning. Frustrating that some drivers won't tolerate people riding further from the kerb when there's ice in the gutters. 😬🚲

I have woken into my 6th decade with raging lower back pain and a pulled calf. It would seem the only identifiable mechanism for this horror was... walking a reasonably long distance in flat shoes. This is how the slide towards death goes, isn't it? ☠️👴

Let’s get started!

No, but the fact that many countries do allow it surely suggests it isn't an esoteric idea? This is a thought provoking article in @anaesjournal.bsky.social from a few years ago: associationofanaesthetists-publications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

For the first time, this platform feels like it's achieving escape velocity away from the Black Hole of Turd™ that X has become. Coming here more and more, and there less and less, and every time I do dip in, it's progressively more dogshit. I think the hope it might recover has gone.

I just feel the decision on how you end your days is the ultimate issue of autonomy. Excellent palliative care should be the standard for all. If they choose that path. But for those who feel they have reached their own self determined end, it shouldn't be a choice of....

Very nearly just took out a cyclist who rode behind me whilst I was reversing. He was very apologetic, but it would seem that my post COVID PTSD was hiding in wait, to take me straight from 0 to 100. Actually trembling 😬

"Health Poverty Action, also leading the X-Odus..." More and more UK charities have chosen to #StopBeingComplicit 👏🏽 Josiah's article highlights why this especially relevant post-US election! Let others know why you have chosen to #StopBeingComplicit

Fuck my boots. Proving once again, if you want to try to kill other people and not go to gaol, do it with your car. 🤬🤯🤬 www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/uk-news...

As I walked my daughter to school this morning, a bird had an enormous poo all over me. I feel your pain.

So far this morning I have trod in fox poo twice, once bare foot, then shod. Then the puppy pooed in the house. Off to buy a lottery ticket.

Great list, worth follows
