@ThrillaRilla369 Yes I did in 2013 after smoking since 1977

Do you actually know anyone who successfully quit smoking ?🚬

Bordeaux also has the most disgusting ladies toilets I have ever seen. Not only filthy but also the stench was traumatic.

@Lunaria_40 Its beautiful. I would be pleased to receive that ring .

Ladies, be honest 👀💍 My daughter’s fiancé gave her this ring, and I told her it looked small and not very nice. I think she deserves better, but she refuses to ask him to replace it. Am I right or overstepping 🤔

KEEP SHARING PLEASE, WE HELPED GET JAMES FOUND, NOW LETS GET STEWARD FOUND SAFE AS WELL x.com/Jasonlh1967/st…

"A ten-year-old started screaming about a wave no one could see—and 100 people lived because her parents believed her. December 26, 2004. Mai Khao Beach, Phuket, Thailand. Christmas holiday. Perfect weather. The Smith family walked along the sand on their first overseas vacation together. Then Tilly noticed something wrong. The water wasn't behaving normally. ""It wasn't calm and it wasn't going in and then out,"" she later recalled. ""It was just coming in and in and in."" The sea had turned frothy—""like you get on a beer,"" she said. ""It was sort of sizzling."" Any other ten-year-old might have thought it strange. Tilly knew exactly what it meant. Two weeks earlier, her geography teacher Andrew Kearney had shown the class footage of the 1946 tsunami that devastated Hawaii. He taught them the warning signs: sea receding unusually far, frothy bubbling water, ocean behaving strangely. Tilly was watching those exact warning signs unfold in front of her. She started screaming at her parents. ""There's going to be a tsunami!"" They didn't believe her. They couldn't see any wave. The sky was clear. The beach was calm. But Tilly wouldn't stop. She became more insistent, more frantic. ""I'm going,"" she finally said. ""I'm definitely going. There is definitely going to be a tsunami."" Her father Colin heard the urgency in her voice. He decided to trust his daughter. By coincidence, a Japanese man nearby overheard Tilly use the word ""tsunami."" He'd just heard news of an earthquake in Sumatra. ""I think your daughter's right,"" he said. Colin alerted hotel staff. They began evacuating immediately. Tilly's mother Penny was one of the last to leave. She had to sprint as the water began rushing in behind her. ""I ran,"" she recalled, ""and then I thought I was going to die."" They made it to the second floor with seconds to spare. Then the wave hit. Thirty feet tall. Everything on the beach—beds, palm trees, debris—was swept into the pool and beyond. ""Even if you hadn't drowned,"" Penny later said, ""you would have been hit by something."" The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami killed over 230,000 people across 14 countries. Entire beaches in Phuket were wiped out. But at Mai Khao Beach, not a single person died. Because a ten-year-old girl paid attention in geography class. Tilly was hailed as the ""Angel of the Beach."" She received awards, spoke at the United Nations, met Bill Clinton. Her story is now taught in schools worldwide. Her father Colin still thinks about what could have happened. ""If she hadn't told us, we would have just kept on walking,"" he said. ""I'm convinced we would have died."" Tilly still credits her teacher. ""If it wasn't for Mr. Kearney,"" she told the UN, ""I'd probably be dead and so would my family."" Two weeks. One lesson. One hundred lives. That's the power of education.

@ronsterd89 Love them

Does anyone really eat the skin on baked potatoes? 😅😅

I went a few years ago . Had the same experience what had been a day my mum and I had looked forward to was a nightmare . Could not see a thing .

Agree

If anybody has elderly family, and use Care Connect emergency system, please let them know there's a tele call scam going on. Caller tries to get them to pay a new rate, £39.99 mnth, or lose the service. It's a scam. Police now investigating.

Hi @GWRHelp, what compensation are you offering to passengers who’ve paid £90 to travel on the massively over-booked, standing room only 19:04 train from Paddington to Plymouth? How can you force people to stand for hours when tickets cost so much? Disgusting!

Reassuring to hear @DrAdrianJames say Neighbourhood Mental Health Centres & #AssertiveOutreach aren’t mutually exclusive Both might be needed to meet needs I’m sure NMHCs are good for many but can’t see most of my patients accessing them Positive statement #NottinghamInquiry

@nuwandiss I am very proud to say that I worked with Dr Donald Dick who was one of the authors of the Richie Report and a visionary. An amazing man Sadly now no longer with us.

The #NottinghamInquiry did a very good job today of highlighting how those presiding over mental health services in the 2010s onwards did a very effective job of dismantling the v sensible recommendations of the Ritchie Report which helped safeguard the most severely mentally ill

Yep

@GylesB1 Oxford

The view from here … Where am I, I wonder?

@Sharpr1966 I still make it

Have a craving for mint sauce as I knew it as a child. Loads of fresh mint chopped with sugar, boiling water added followed by salt and vinegar. Is that just a Dales thing or was it everywhere?

@Mrssuziebear Yes.we are still finding it hard to believe.😢😢

@CarolineKin Oh no 😢

So very sorry. We lost Honey last Monday 😪
