@Chris33066442 @Jan_Leeming Recommended. I’ve found this opens most bottles and jars despite weak wrists and hands.

@Jan_Leeming Get one of these Jan, you can find them on Amazon and other online shops, I actually found one in a pound shop, they work wonderfully. I think they are called grip bottle opener i think or something similar.

A serious question. Does anyone know how to open a bottle of Innocent juice? I've tried everything and almost cut myself but it refuses to budge. Actually, find more and more bottles and cartons difficult - as for those trays with the 'peelable' lids - not enough film to grip

@H6476788612066 Intensive care beds are allocated by clinical need.

So this is how disgusting a human Lindsey Vonn is she is taking up an intensive care bed so her sorry selfish ass can have privacy.#fucklindseyvonn

@griffithgarn @Arsenal Am pleased to hear it !

@Coriel @Arsenal Actually Hugh Laurie is a Gooner!

@authorscherry @sophielouisecc Check your facts. People with ADHD are perfectly able to empathise, as are others who are neurodiverse. Utter nonsense.

@sophielouisecc It's not right that people who are devoid of empathy expect the world to conform to their expectations because they are incapable of appreciating other people's experiences and problems.

It is not right for people with ADHD to expect the world to remove any minor inconvenience for them because they have ADHD You aren’t incapable of queuing You aren’t incapable of getting a bus or train You aren’t incapable of working It’s complete nonsense - it might be uncomfortable or hard or challenging But to suggest you can’t do these things is just a load of bollocks

@griffithgarn @Arsenal He’s probably a Spurs fan🤣

@Arsenal I assume Dickie Roper couldn’t make it?

@KReadingmachine @marksandspencer Try the extremely lemony curd filled ones. They are yummy: soft, light texture and just the right amount of curd.

@marksandspencer I’m absolutely gutted, I can’t lie. Been obsessed for years now. Hopefully they return in future.

I have a horrible feeling @marksandspencer haven’t brought back the blueberry hot cross buns this year, which means life will be a little bit worse this Easter.

@DeanEggitt This is confusing. How is a patient meant to make a judgement between calling 111, 999 or putting in a request on e consult. My understanding is that the duty doctor will review urgent cases and respond promptly. This has been my experience with my GP.

Please please please, do not sent urgent messages to GPs via online systems that might not be picked up straight away. GP isn't AE - we can't always respond quickly. Don't risk your life on hoping your GP sees your message.

@TheHauskarl @Jenny_1884 What utter nonsense.

@Jenny_1884 The NHS operates on the principle of giving people the runaround long enough that hopefully the patient dies before they manage to inconvenience the NHS.

Husband phoned Drs as he has a chest infection. Receptionist said to go to local pharmacy as they can give him antibiotics. Goes to Tesco Pharmacy & told they aren’t allowed to give out antibiotics & needs to see the Dr. Do these people actually know what they are doing 🙀

@DeanEggitt Most prescriptions are reviewed by the practice pharmacist. The gp signs them off.

When a GP isn't seeing patients, they are - reviewing results of investigations - responding to patient / clinical requests - reading hospital letters - writing reports - reviewing prescriptions - management tasks - training (CPD) - teaching

@IsobelGlenelg @suzanne_moore And asking them not to look at their shoes!?!?

@suzanne_moore Sexist? No, not at all. I applied the phrase frequently to describe getting Maths professors (all male) to the correct lecture rooms at the right times, while ensuring they weren't wearing their jumpers inside out.

Is herding cats a sexist phrase? It certainly applies to me trying to get a few of my female friends round my dinner table at the same time.

@LauraPAuthor The book The Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan has an entire chapter written using PowerPoint. It explores the theme of time, communication and memory very effectively.

Can anyone suggest authors who write books made up of letters, emails, tweets, voice notes, newspaper articles, podcasts etc?

@FloraGill0 There’s a festival hotline 03300530388. Also AA members available at East 9 (off Purple Route) and Bronze Gate at West 32.

@lordcharlie87 @SoVeryBritish Again, a Christmas item, never summer

@SoVeryBritish Mince pies (will eat the whole pack just after arriving home).

British people food shopping list for a heatwave: - Twister lollies (and all the other lollies) - Quiche (Lorraine) - Assortment of “bits” (mini sausages, mini scotch eggs, various beige air fryable goods) - Coleslaw, potato salad (maybe a tub of beetroot cubes that you’ll inevitably drop down your white t-shirt) - Sausages, chicken drumsticks, burgers etc (if there’s any left) - Some sort of bright red marinade (will also drop down white t-shirt) - Baps/rolls/buns (or whatever you want to call them, don’t start) - Bag of salad leaves, with random decision made in shop as to whether you get “Italian Style”, “Bistro”, “Baby Leaf”, or some sort of iceberg and grated carrot fiasco (will throw away next week) - A cucumber and some tomatoes, obvs. It’s not a proper basic British salad without these sliced and dumped on the side of the plate (for proper British salad, do NOT mix them, they must remain in their own separate piles) - Some kind of horrible couscous pot type thing with raisins in it (that nobody will eat) - Dips (maybe some flatbreads that you’ll burn in the toaster) - Large bags of crisps to put into bowls - Strawberries - Ice (will leave in the car by mistake and find a bag of water in there later)

@DominoDuke @SoVeryBritish That’s for Christmas, not summer !

@SoVeryBritish You’ve forgotten the celery sticks displayed in a glass!

@davidyelland @nytimes Firewalled.

James Frey profile, @nytimes, best thing I’ve read in Sunday papers so far. James is an ever more fascinating man. nytimes.com/2025/06/08/sty… via @NYTimesJames

@JillMansell Maybe because you are mixing two foods from different parts of the world?

Why does delicious home made Bolognese sauce with basmati rice feel so wrong?

@suekey57 @lewis_goodall There’s nothing I want to hear from that group on this. Ever.

Deafening silence from Obama, Clinton, Bush, Biden so far…

@Heroiam_Slava 100%

Do you support Volodymyr Zelensky ?

@antoguerrera Ignorant ultra right wing plant in press pool. Let’s remind him of what Churchill wore when meeting President Roosevelt

I wonder if this random unknown guy has ever had the guts to ask Elon Musk the same question.

@AnnalisaB I think Zelensky speaks pretty good English. Trump and Vance speak in sound bites and don’t have the intellectual capacity for coherent thinking.
