Mutual attraction is the most powerful aphrodisiac. Second most powerful is vast amounts of money, so does that leave oysters in third place?

FFS, the @bmj_latest really has conformed with the @BBC and all the other MMS in its mindless climate change/woke nonsense agenda. My wife’s still a @TheBMA member in retirement, so I get to observe their nonsense, but I have no regrets about dumping them after 40 years myself… A load of ✊🏻💦

Photographic opportunities often present, now that most of us have decent cameras in our phones. Tonight when taking the dog out for a shit…

Retirement - when the worst thing that happens all day is @Apple changing their music app icon to one that I don't like. Seriously guys, it's 'orrible, and no longer gels with the ones next to it on my phone! #1stWorldProblems

I can’t believe it’s almost 2027 and we still don’t have flying data centers.

Another question about clinical exams: In the FRCA viva: the RCoA provides reasonable adjustments for those with neurodivergence - extra time for processing, delivery etc. How is this reconciled w/ decision-making in a real anaesthetic emergency, where time waits for no one?

Patrick Stewart as Captain Picard in Star Trek:TNG is one of the most inspired pieces of casting ever. He elevated everything he was in. RIP to a real master of his craft.

Sir Patrick Stewart has left the stage at 86. Farewell to a true titan of acting and one of the finest performers of his time. A great loss. R.I.P.

Sometimes people smell toast right before they have a stroke, which is a nice little treat in an uncertain time.

What evil, eldritch magik be this? Once upon a time, you could literally pick up a bottle of @Gin_Gordons with only a brief glance to confirm the bottle's colour... These days you not only have to check the flavour, but whether it contains the correct concentration of alcohol!

Plenty of private sector moaning in the media regarding the @BMA_Consultants industrial action on 25th & 26th November... "But they're paid so well!" An enlightening graph below from a @NuffieldTrust article. Nurses and midwives next? #NHS @TheBMA nuffieldtrust.org.uk/news-it…

Consultants don’t want to strike, but after 18 months without formal negotiations, they cannot wait any longer. These strikes are planned to take place on 25 and 26 November, with Christmas Day levels of cover provided. There is still time for the Government to make progress.

"I don't know why we do this every six months. I don't know where you are, but I do have a very particular set of skills, skills that mean I will look for you, I will find you and I will turn you back exactly one hour..." ~ me to one of the few remaining clocks in the house that don't do it automatically #ClocksGoBack
