Humour doesn’t travel well across the pond…

Just 4 remaining from the team of 3 years ago, and it looks as though JT needs a fresh club to restart his career. I still believe that Jacob Sørensen, given a good run in the team, playing to his strengths and remaining injury free, can be massive for us. But he needs to show it now.

That moment of realisation…

Brilliant

So many questions

Thames Water: Bidders line up for struggling utility giant The water firm has reportedly received multiple bids as it faces running out of money next year.

Does the fact that so many people are looking to purchase Thames Water, with such an awful record on delivery and environmental protection, with huge amounts of debt and an aim to massively raise bills, mean that there is yet more value to be stripped from the utility into the private sector?

This took me far far too long. It’s been a long week and I’m tired!!

Punting on the Cam is jolly fun, they say.

Great assessment and showing what we have in the squad if they are (mostly) available. Onel = Chaos…. Give that man a new contract, and make it clear that he is an impact sub, but what an option to have. “If Onel doesn’t know what he’s going to do, how do the opposition?”

10 goals in 2 games. A young forward getting the rewards for a lot of hard work. Re-introduction of several injured players. Some great cameos from the bench and Borja adding to his value for this season and the inevitable future sale. Pretty good week in NR1. #NCFC #OTBC

… and development processes and just how many treatments have been identified and pushed through development pipelines of numerous researchers. Nobody is deliberately slowing research, and lots of people are researching in other areas. All of which have their priorities for affected groups. 🧵3/n.

My issue is with the comment that “it is appalling that this is the first new treatment for COPD and asthma in 50 years”. This assumes that the Pharma industry and medical research has a duty to find the “cure” that is out there and fails to understand the complexity of the drug discovery…🧵2/n.

First new asthma attack treatment in 50 years Around two million asthma and COPD attacks each year could be treated with the drug, a study suggests.

Part-rant and part musing, will be a thread. Firstly, this is very good news even if the drug itself, Benralizumab, is in early clinical stages and as a monoclonal is tricky to manufacture and will most likely be challenged by biosimilars. And the asthma charity quoted clearly does great work. 🧵 1/n

That really is rather good!

Hideaway!

#NCFC That was frankly awesome!

All teams have to start somewhere, all teams have to take stock of their performances to see where they can improve. Yes, a long way to go, but there are always, always, positives to take from a game like this - the wickets taken, the fielding, the dot balls faced, the additional experience.

A top hat, silly accent, excessive use of a Latin and a superior attitude do not equate to class...

The same people signing a petition for an immediate General Election were the ones refusing a second referendum, either for Scottish independence or Brexit, and refused any calls for a GE one Boris had his majority then drove the country into a deep rut.

Millions of us valued Twitter/X at times of breaking news. It was a way to get info, fast.

That value has been shattered by misinformation & a destructive algorithm.

We can now make Bluesky the go-to platform for news. Here's a list of (verified) journalists to keep up with UK breaking news.

Brilliant quiz. Highly specialised but brilliant all the same.

Slightly annoyed at the two I got wrong. I’m a chemist and a nerd…

I’m quite happy with 43 from this, even if most of the ones I know are shite. There’s some good names hidden deep in the list, I had a very long deep conversation about Bob Vylan with a bloke my age with a pink beard at Truck, and Soft Play are absolutely superb.

Did he really call a group of ethnically diverse models “non-human”. I’d love to think I’m reading too much into that statement but I suspect I’m not.

I’m going to get a wee little cottage with a gushing stream behind it.

£20 to 30 but really depends on the level of comedian, type of show,etc. in Didcot we used to get a lot of warmup shows and big names trying new material. Likewise a lot of up and coming comics who may not fill it at £30 but might at £15 (so make the same total). Max £30 though.

I’m contractually obligated to tell you guys the Boston Red Sox added Jhoestynxon Garcia to their 40-man roster and his nickname is “The Password.”
