Can’t help thinking that if I’d ripped off the government for Β£122m I’d be in jail rather than my limited company getting fined. Who yer know innit. #Slime

Having such a good time in Seattle. An amazing cool city, and a very strong political stance.

My wife was lecturing today at a nurses conference. It was exactly 34 years to the day that she had her first lecture as a student…in the same lecture theatre.

And who was in the lecture theatre? My daughter, who is starting her nurse job this week.

Download the Telescore app. Perfect for those who spent hours on a Saturday afternoon watching page after page of text, waiting for their team to score. The only thing is not being able to type in the page number to test your memory from 30 years ago.

Day 14: A song from a theatre/film musical

The Supremes & The Temptations - The Impossible Dream

From Man of La Mancha

The whole album was one I was brought up on and one I still regularly listen to…and I still adore Diana Ross!

Don’t like to be negative on players but I just don’t see what Whittaker brings to the team. That’s 4 and a half matches in and just don’t see it, especially when we have such good players on the bench #boro

Bit late for one of these but peanut bar please. I’m sure they’re ridiculously low in bedtime calories
