@wendyburn People need to continuity

This will be very interesting to watch. Really hoping it works well.

@GrahamNewton12 @KiranHewitt I have been clearing out my office ready to retire. Some of the old letters are a) v aggressive and b) v funny. I saw Robin Philpott a few weeks ago for his 80th. Still as warm and irritating as ever

@robgpoole @KiranHewitt I’m not sure I ever remember you being grumpy!

How things eventually turned out when I was 45. robgpoole.co.uk/years-later/

@KiranHewitt Like all old people, the past is clearer than the present. I remember you well, Kiran, though I don’t remember if I got grumpy with you like I did with @GrahamNewton12, just because I can never, ever be wrong. Pleased to see that you are fighting the good fight over stopping meds

@robgpoole You probably have zero recollection of this but I was your ward pharmacist there bet 1997-98 to 2004. Can honestly it was the most wholesome of life experiences both professionally in my MH pharmacist role and holistically/life lessons from all MDT staff & pts. #characterbuilding

@kingtim88 Thank you for being such a loyal reader, Tim.

@robgpoole Really enjoyed both parts. Sad that this is the last blog but all good things must come to an end. Thank you Rob.

My last blog of this long, long series. I end with a tribute to my late father, who modestly claimed a touch of genius robgpoole.co.uk/geoff-poole/

@PeterMartin55 I’ll tell you. If we keep practicing, we keep improving. If we were as good at 18, we would have made it big. As with so many things, good came 50 years too late

What is it about old geezers still obsessed with their guitar solo! @robgpoole

What happened next. robgpoole.co.uk/years-later/

@suzypuss @HylandDeclan I got mine and some else’s. They didn’t want the extra one back. Only extra special Fellows get two, apparently. Sorry.

@robgpoole @HylandDeclan you got two?

@SuhanaAh @HylandDeclan No. Never conflate price and value. K Marx

@robgpoole @HylandDeclan They gave u a pen worth £15000?!?
