I came here to talk about music, art and dogs. As a GP of 35 years, serving a deprived population in the North West of England, I can't help but get involved with discussions about the NHS.

I do dig them but I’m looking for some jazz that raises the hairs at the back of my neck

Peter Norman stood with them. He wore the badge of the Olympic Project for Human Rights. He also suggested they split the one pair of gloves they had. The backlash he experienced back home in Australia was horrendous.

You have to be pragmatic in a crisis. This circumstance isn’t in the guidelines, so you have to be creative

They just need to win a public vote.

Tin is my favourite. Very flexible. And I always like elements with a different symbol based on a dead language

If a vial is opened (contains 6 shots), and there is no-one eligible in the vicinity, we throw away unused ones into the arms of anyone willing to have one.

The group whose uptake of flu vaccines has plummeted the most is health care professionals. 🀦

Maybe that’s why she got a professor to help her. Let’s face it, more people are going to read it with her name attached.

The Golden Rule, as I understand it, is to treat others as you would want them to treat you. After defining her "economic" version, she immediately broke it, and announced an unfunded tax cut on buying houses for the better off.

My practice was a β€œhot” site for the town. A local school made us face shields. Builders gave us their asbestos suits. Patients made us face masks and scrubs. Browns in Chester donated shower gels. We were overflowing with chocolate. The public were wonderful. Useless PPE arrived after 4 months.

Trouble is Big Pharma is too often hyperbolic about benefits of drugs and secretive about side effects. The truth is only revealed years later.

Paracetamol is so old, it is cheap, effective and we know it's safe. Thank goodness for Sweden carrying out some thorough research on the subject.

TOY:BOX [3LP Box] - David Bowie

There is a specific Toy:Box consisting of 3 CDs or a vinyl version. Very strange cover art, but apparently based on a suggestion Bowie made himself. I think he was having a laugh.

What do you mean? It was number one in more countries than its predecessor.

It’s a fantastic album.
