  2. @fbarnes4 Thank you - of course I was listening to her! It was important to come in and say non-emergency doctors cos her premise was false. about 13 hours ago via web in reply to fbarnes4
  3. @thelewisdeakin The enquiry's neither here nor there; printed newspapers are disappearing. I'd aim for radio & TV journalism if I were you. about 13 hours ago via web in reply to thelewisdeakin
  4. @shaneehickey Ahh, I'd love to say yes but it's not up to me; sadly, I don't think so. about 13 hours ago via web in reply to shaneehickey
  5. @Jayshum132 In the late summer, it'll start in August I think. about 22 hours ago via web in reply to Jayshum132

  8. @fbarnes4 I can't agree with you there; being dismissive is arrogant. There's nothing more respectful than getting stuck into an argument. 4:59 PM Jun 1st via web in reply to fbarnes4
  9. @BillHicks123 I'm afraid you've been misinformed; I haven't had gay fever since my college days. 4:57 PM Jun 1st via web in reply to BillHicks123

  13. @MinteeFreshee You're right, I should decide which one should be allowed: having a 6 figure salary, or a cheap pasty. It's one or the other. 4:54 PM Jun 1st via web in reply to MinteeFreshee
  14. @jemima_sharp Thanks very much. I've been kicking myself for not also saying that working til too old IS about patient care. 4:50 PM Jun 1st via web in reply to jemima_sharp
  15. @sparky300 Thanks for the big visual compliment, but not sure @LouiseMensch would take the same line on strikes or Jeremy Hunt! 4:48 PM Jun 1st via web in reply to sparky300
  16. @LESMC1 If you're saying there are two £300 events, one's 2 days and the other's 1 day, I'd pick the 2-day event. Slower structures better. 4:47 PM Jun 1st via web in reply to LESMC1
