@SwailesRuth @MissSDoherty Yep so did we at grandma & grandpa's. We'd arrive at 11.30, yorkshires at 11.45 and then beef at 12.15. And then the v best ice cream from Caddy's in Dewsbury

@SwailesRuth @MissSDoherty My grandpa always had this to serve with yorkshire pudding. Always before the roast beef, never with it.

Anyone else still make Yorkshire salad?

@montsaye Good luck Hussein, the process is hard and mentoring is such a good support to help understand the application process

Congratulations.... To Hussein (Yr12) Hussein has been accepted onto the Apply: Cambridge mentoring programme, an intensive online programme designed to help Hussein navigate the university admissions process and to support him in preparing his application.

@suzi1dore You look amazing. My mum has just had a stoma, the alternative was death. She had ischemic colitis after surgery, and her bowel failed. After 6 weeks of constant diahorrea her stoma has saved her. Never say never.

You wouldn’t believe the amount of people who have said to me “no offence, but I’d rather die than have a stoma”…you do you, crack on, I’ll just be over here sparkling ✨🥰✨ This grandma 👵🏼 happens to love this life. #coloncancer #coloncancersurvivor #bowelcancer #colorectal

@GSpellchecker We have one. The cat stands by it so it clicks, then sits by the back door to be let in. Or sits on the kitchen window sill to be let in through there. Even though she can use it very well

I'm going to mute this now. Thank you to all those with nice, thoughtful or amusing comments. And the handful of Americans. In regards to fitting a chip reading cat flap, that was originally a consideration. However, we had some concerns about cats getting locked out if the batteries ran out. I'm now over this concern and will be fitting a new one sometime after pay day as it's £74. Which reminds me, please consider supporting me on Substack 🔗sknight.substack.com

I had a cat flap fitted a while back so that I didn't get harassed by their demands to be let out at 4am. Anyway, I don't know whose cat this is in my kitchen.

@fesshole Jam and cheese on toast, one of my favourite things!

My dad introduced me to cheese and jam sandwiches as a child. Still one of my favourites today in my 50s and I've still never heard of another person eating this combination. Please tell me it's not just me now. RIP Dad.

@pipterino This is amazing!!!!!

Do you want to see Henry VIII and his wives but as guinea pig cakes?

@KatiePiper_ Good luck with it. My Mum has a shell and it looks amazingly real.

After many years battling with my eye health, I’ve reached the end of road somewhat, and the decision has been made to try a prosthetic eye shell. This marks the start of a journey to have an artificial eye, with an incredible medical team behind me.

@charliersmith1 Fantastic! You look wonderful x

In 2021, I got sectioned. In 2022 and 2023, I had involuntary stays in hospital. I genuinely thought I’d never get better… Turns out, I was wrong, and today I’m celebrating spending the whole of 2024 hospital-free! 🎉

@Thehullboy1 Fantastic achievement

IVE FINALLY BROKE SUB 30 5KM!! After last times attempt I thought I had done it but Strava said it was 30:54, today I gave everything I had to break the 30 minute barrier and we just about did it! It was tough and had to dig deep at the end but we do it for mental health and those who are suffering. You are never alone ❤️

@richardosman Got it in 3 😁😁

Wordle is really not mucking about today. Good luck everyone!

@LeeBarronMP Unfortunately, although that seems a large sum, it's the tip of the iceberg. How many schools in north northants alone? Ongoing funding to ensure condition work is done continually is also needed. Funding for capital works is v hard to access.

Encouraged to report that our new government has pledged £1.4 billion to meet a target of rebuilding 50 schools in England every year, so that our kids do not have to learn in what have become crumbling classrooms. #Corby #eastnorthamptonshire

@ashleigh_pain Would be really grateful to receive a copy. Thank you

@CakeLH We went from Seville to Barcelona a few years ago, it was totally amazing and just so unlike the trains here

I’m on a high speed train from Madrid to Barcelona with actual functioning wifi, air conditioning, a cafeteria and TV screens with maps of the journey. It was not only on time but is due to arrive 10mins early… and the best bit? The ticket cost ~£18 😭 the UK could NEVER

@LeeBraganza My son telling me about his body made me cry too. Honestly, it's a wonderful thing to do. He chose his courses specifically for that reason. People donating their bodies are supporting our future Drs. It is so wonderful, you should be so proud x

@LeeBraganza Certainly at Cambridge. Every two years a service. But annually letters from the family on who the person was, their background etc. My son spent a year with his body, the letter led to tears from everyone - it is a v special relationship & so valued.

Even in death my aunt is a remarkable lady. She donated her body to the UEA medical school and it's just been accepted! She will used by postgrad students for education, research and teaching.

@AwfulLotOfEagle Well done Basil. Quite frequently my cat will bring mice home for the dog, sometimes bats or birds, generally fresh, often still alive....

For those of you lying awake all night fretting about the Basil Vs Canal Fish incident -I know it must be several million of you at least- his concrete stomach has prevailed once more. Other than rancid burps, he emerged victorious, having learned nothing

@MissC_1717 No idea!!! Just odd!

@RawlinsPenny Urgh!!!! I would have moved too. That’s just weird behaviour 😩 The people last night were just annoying! There were so many other ‘good seats’. In the end, we all moved up one seat to create some space but WHY WOULD YOU BOOK RIGHT NEXT TO SOMEONE??? 😂😂😂

WHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYY would you book to sit next to me when the whole cinema is empty???? 😩🤬
