Rest and painkillers.

Going to stay with a friend for a few days while face heals. Au revoir

Ta for asking. Hurting. Broken nose

Waited hours thinking need x ray etc, but might as well not have gone at all. Doctor peered at it and said “Yeah, it’s broken, it’ll heal by itself, you can go home”
Then a further wait in Pharmacy just for Ibuprofen
I ache & I look hideous, feeling very sorry for self
Appreciate you asking though

In A&E. Suspected broken nose after tripping on a doorstep and encountering tarmac with face. I’m a clumsy idiot 😬😒

Just imagine having to find this every month.

A tech critic’s guide to holiday gift-giving Maybe your grandma doesn’t need that Alexa smart speaker

Christmas is coming, and the Black Friday sales signal we’re in peak gift-buying season.

When you’re picking out gifts for friends and family this year, there’s a whole slew of tech products that are better to avoid. I put together a guide to help you through it.

$7.25? That’s about £5.43. Incredibly low. How can anybody live on that?
Here in the UK, the minimum wage for workers aged 21+ is £12.21. That’s about US$16

The thing about the right wing is that they tend to hold their noses and co-operate together. Whereas the left are too busy navel-gazing and scrapping

Voters want to see a concise, coherent, united message. Not a load of strop and squabbling

And what will prevent China from stepping up its interest in Taiwan if it sees the US trying to dominate Venezuela?

Would Trump be at all interested in Venezuela if they had no oil reserves whatsoever?

Equal pay for women and men

Either that or all the reindeer’s carrots 😁

Looks like the inflatable Santa outside the student house down the street has had another heavy night lol

Wild!

Okay, here we go.

Health & care staff are no longer allowed a Covid booster, but they're still expected to look after COVID+ patients.

NHS/govt is reneging on its duty of care. Staff will become unwell, and patients too will suffer.

You know what to do

Maybe she shouldn’t have done a rogue membership launch then, or maybe Corbyn should have integrated it into his plans instead of declaring it rogue. Either way it all sounds shambolic

Alf Dubs Accuses Shabana Mahmood of 'Letting the Country Down' With Plans to Outdo Reform on Asylum The veteran Labour peer and lifelong campaigner for child refugees, Alf Dubs, tells Byline Times that the Home Secretary's plans are "bitterly disappointing coming from a Labour Government"

“There are some very harsh and unnecessary things, which are bitterly disappointing coming from a Labour Government... They are very different to the sorts of things the party supported when we were in opposition. We cannot defeat Reform by trying to outdo them.”

Bewildering to me. We should welcome the little girl and the granny if she wants to come. Families should be together. It’s the compassionate thing to do

It’s “you reap what you sow” not ‘sew’

G’night

Oh no, Scotland, please don’t become racist as England 😕

Sounds it. 😟

Yeah, me too 😕

I pushed another kid off a chair in playgroup and the fall broke their clavicle. Does that count? The difference is, I was only three or four years old at the time

If anything happens to Brad because of his innate goodness and honesty, I’m going to be very displeased 🫣
