Occasionally, there are moments, when I think that a benevolent god might exist after all.

Thanks. My daughter is the patient. We’re in a lot, which gives us a good insight into NHS situation.

Am on a 2-week stint in hospital with my daughter. Anyone who thinks we don’t need immigrants should spend some time with us. A good 50% of the excellent nurses caring for her are from abroad.

Ooh I forgot that was on and I need some entertainment during our CEO’s strategic plan presentation!

I have never been. There are many places I haven’t been that I would like to visit. Dubai would be just above Las Vegas at the bottom of that list.

A diatribe from Kemi Badenich about the results of the recent by-election. She seems to think there is a coalition between Labour, the Greens and Reform!

Not nothing from the Conservatives - there was this deranged diatribe from Kemi.

Looking forward to it! The mustard gas = chemotherapy did feel a bit sketchy.

Chemo really screwed my daughter up. It probably saved her life but she had a severe allergic reaction that was like a stroke and left her unable to use most of her limbs and no balance. Having to wear gloves to change her nappy as her wee was so toxic hammered home what we were dealing with.

My understanding was that they noticed it killed fast-growing cells and realised that would help slow fast-growing cancer cells but wasn’t sure how true that was. Sounds like one of those anecdotes that turns out to be false.

If you are looking into cancer and something that would be in your wheelhouse - how much truth is there in the origins of chemotherapy coming from the observed effects of poison gases in WWI?

They were talking about an influencer called Clavicular on The Rest is Entertainment who does this.

Of course but we know not to use that word.

That’s a bit of a sweeping statement! We are generally pretty conscious of racism over here and no-one decent uses that word.

Speak for yourself! I have learnt plenty of history from podcasts.
