@DanielBarrs2 I suppose one could argue that you get better local representation/case work with fewer constituents per member. But that doesn’t explain the Lords at all, or why specifically 650 MPs.

@willsuh76 Astonished it is that low.

@lynlapid There is no (feasible, ignoring silly taking the piss) other way to say those words?

@M4ricone0 Neither Schengen nor the Euro are mandatory as things are. The only thing that is mandatory is Saying you will take the euro (theoretically at some point) but there is no need to actually ever do it - (unless it later becomes both in your interest as a member &that of the union)

@jmc_fire Any other characters in the James Bond films bringing their sexuality into the workplace? bond, for example?

@ohcrapohno Not even a 1% chance this true.

@JasonSeaforth @DouglasTodd I mean sure but London and Paris are only 200mi apart, so further away than Seattle from Van, but closer than Portland or Spokane. They aren’t extremely different weather wise.

@2manypeople4me @Parody_RCGP Well, I wasn’t suggesting that this is the case in Dublin, but I have had exactly that service from a GP in France, including him doing the X rays himself.

@Parody_RCGP This is just word salad.

@Parody_RCGP So quick to jump in with your usual line, you’ve missed that she’s talking about the health service in a different country?

@VAMS6323 @DeanEggitt This says it all about the unreasonable expectations from some people, @DeanEggitt - they literally think they are owed an instant response on social media, let alone in real life, and are not shy of making demands despite being completely ignorant of the reality.

@sharrond62 He’s not the prime Minister in Paris, Sharon.

@skittles_kitty @LucyGoBag Completely wrong, I’m afraid. Constantly reviewing your own practice is the cornerstone of professionalism and you simply cannot do that without the notes. Wider clinical review is a separate (and also necessary) process, additional to, not instead of, reflection.

@JamesTitcombe Every day, somebody comes up with another stupid idea to make our jobs harder, less efficient,and more painful, for no possible benefit or reason, and then later has the temerity to ask why healthcare is hard, inefficient, slow and painful.

@btharris93 @SimpGanassi It doesn’t, but there was - albeit as part of a larger trend of suicides in general falling across the 90s and early 2000s

@A_MacLullich @nickmmark I agree about absolutes, but I suspect some of the difference here is about terminology - the concept “maintenance” has often encouraged persisting / recurrent fluids long after any deficit is corrected, and that is harmful. I don’t think that invalidates all slow IVF everywhere.

@A_MacLullich @nickmmark Whilst there are no absolutes in medicine, IV fluids as commonly used are often unhelpful and sometimes harmful in both of those settings.

@JoshuaBarzon Of course it is D. With AEP you go to the luxury top tier Safari in Zambias South Luangwa, then Vic Falls, Okavango, then Namib desert then Cape Town.

@The76thIcePop @axiochrono While the idea of the paranoid faithfuls banishing each other is fun, the game already has this in the final (if there’s a faithful win, they may banish other faithfuls after the last traitor), and it would sap all the tension for the viewer for however many weeks it happened.

@_ellestar Oil level. Like on a car.
