Just joined the Birmingham Airport security queue. It’s 5.18am - let’s see how quickly we get through. Don’t have fast track. I’ll do the job that the @bhx_official comms team don’t. Awful for anybody elderly, with a disability, kids or if it was raining #birminghamairportqueue

@AskDyson I paid £1100 for two machines from Dyson-aftersales is shocking for that kind of spend, Dyson is pricing itself out of the market that aim to serve - has James Dyson sold his shareholding - quality usually goes down the toilet when the founder leaves

@AskDyson so i have lots of dyson devices. I have 2 hot/cold fans. 1 consistently disengages from wifi, when no other device in my house does. I thought all machines sold in UK had to be covered for 5 years not 12 months on the box

@AddisonLeeCabs just booked with AL for the first time and they are superb, great service, timings spot on, great cars and really nice driver

@drlynnmccallum We had the same Lynn not nearly as cleat as your picture.....lots shooting stars too

Incredible Aurora Borealis in the Scottish Borders tonight!

@_BOLD_rev Hello, we are so pleased to hear this, please can you confirm which station you are referring to? ^VR

@skygillian BRILLIANT Gillian, simply brilliant

My daughter to me, before going back to University. She cracks me up. I can’t stop laughing. 🤣😂😂

Have I heard this right? The amazing, strong, insightful and giving man Doddie Weir has passed away after a lengthy battle with Motor Neurone Disease. The world will be a less colourful place without him. Out thoughts and condolences to his wife and family.

Many thanks to @NHSBorders’ vaccination team for my flu and covid vaccines this evening! Super slick process with friendly cheerful staff! And great to see how busy it was! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 💉

Q: should all be concerned that the research in Boston, US, surfaced by Dr John Chapman is; 1] allowed in the first place, and 2] alarmed at the implications of developing such variants of the Omicron virus? Comments welcome & a thought provoking 19m30s youtu.be/_WTZo9ieBKY

The UK has the highest infection rate and sickness absence in the developed world BTW but mortality is low. #variant-proportions" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tra… courtesy of Dr John Campbell

Bad news the rates are on the up and we’ve not hit winter, good news is resistance and natural immunity is very high with low impact of symptoms on the body - so the herd immunity idea seems to be working, provided your vaccinated. Thats the USA.

Have a look at this, statistically the USA is relevant because of the shear number of people there[325.5million]….. and we are now on the 6th variant of Omicron now at BA.5 the original Delta was B.1.617.2. Unvaccinated population have a 6:1 mortality rate.

Lovely - that’s the only place I’ve been where curry is on the breakfast list. 😜 and such nice people

@mrdanwalker Even after X-ray they’ll just strap it to the next biggest finger - don’t blame for getting it checked out though

Currently in A & E with our daughter who has a suspected broken finger 🤕 4 hour wait has begun ⏰

@drlynnmccallum @nhsfife Good luck Lynn have a great day

Lovely morning interviewing @nhsfife. Nice to be back in the Vic after a few years! Great candidates and a fab new colleague joining medical leadership in Scotland 👍👍
